Japanese Media: Singapore is North Korea, Ai Takagi is jailed only because she criticized the government

A Japanese business media called Singapore a dictatorship and openly denounced the Singapore government for oppressing criticisms by jailing Ai Takagi. The news article called Singapore “a Bright North Korea”, meaning that the country enjoyed economic prosperity but it’s political situation is no different that of the dictatorship run by Kim Jong Un.

Ai Takagi’s website, The Real Singapore, covered news and stories contributed by Singaporeans from all walks of life. Most of the contributions are anonymous because the Singapore people are afraid of the ruling party government which imprison and impose fines on individuals who criticize them. The Singapore government is deliberately punishing Ai Takagi, who is already 3 months pregnant, with a 10 month jail sentence.

The Japanese media also added that it is not uncommon for a Southeast Asian country to have a dictatorship and ban free speech.

Australia 'regrets' TRS website editor Ai Takagi's jail term

Australian citizen Ai Takagi was sentenced to 10 months' jail for four charges of sedition for publishing articles that promoted ill will and hostility between Singaporeans and foreigners.

Jonathan Pearlman For The Straits Times In Sydney

Australia has expressed "regret" at a Singapore court's decision to sentence its national, Ai Takagi, editor of The Real Singapore (TRS) website, to 10 months' jail for sedition.

The sentencing of the 23-year- old received widespread media coverage in Australia. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it was "aware" of the sentence and was assisting Takagi, who is eight weeks' pregnant.
"We regret that Ms Takagi was given a custodial sentence, given she is young, pregnant and had issued an apology," a department spokesman told The Straits Times.

"The Australian High Commission in Singapore will continue to provide her with all appropriate consular assistance."
Takagi had pleaded guilty to four of eight sedition charges relating to the publication of four articles.

One article quoted a Singaporean who allegedly quit his job claiming Filipinos in his company gave preferential treatment to their countrymen. Another falsely claimed a Filipino family caused an altercation between police and participants of a Thaipusam procession last year.

In sentencing her on Wednesday, district judge Salina Ishak said the articles TRS published were intended to "provoke unwarranted hatred against foreigners in Singapore".
Before she was sentenced, Takagi had apologised in open court to the people of Singapore for the harm the published articles caused.

She said she was not fully aware of the level of sensitivity needed when dealing with racial and religious issues in the Republic.

Takagi, a student at the University of Queensland, was arrested during a visit to Singapore last year.

Her Singaporean husband, Yang Kaiheng, 27, who allegedly helped to run the site, has claimed trial.

Reports of Takagi's sentence featured heavily in the Australian media and were among the most viewed stories on Fairfax Media sites.
Singapore watchers in Australia called the sentence excessive, but said it would not affect long-term relations between the two sides.

Transmodified from 154th ranked Mouthpiece Shit Times.

Uncle Sam's Down Under Vassal has expressed "procedural regret" at a Peasantpore Kangaroo court's decision to sentence its national, former Nihon Ai Takagi, editor of The Real Peasantpore (TRS) website, to 10 months' jail for 'regime lest majeste'.

The sentencing of the 23-year- old received widespread media coverage in Australia. The Department of Foreign Sex Trade said it was "procedurally aware" of the sentence and was assisting Takagi in theory only. The unlucky dissenter with a capitalist bent is eight weeks' pregnant.

"We regret that Ms Takagi was given a custodial sentence to ensure her child will be born behind prison bars, an insult for Asiatics. In addition, got double standards as there were many cases the regime used '莫须有' demonising dissenters as Commies or Marxists, beat, detained them for fun.. The regime's lackeys got away in those cases.

*Ruler Loong insisted psychological pressure can be exerted on ISA detainees but never deny or admit detainees are beaten or given free air-conditioning in wafer thin prison garb.

However Aussieland and Peasantpore are both loyal vassals of Uncle Sam, so Aussieland will simply say regretful but not do anything to make Ruler Loong unhappy lest he complain to Overlord Obama," a department sex spokeslackey enlightened The Shit Times.

The "bright" is to describe the leaders, who are constantly worried about what the first world thinks of them, unlike the N Koreans. :biggrin:
