AGC acts against cartoonist Leslie Chew

[GoldenDragon]

A friend of mine reposted his cartoon in his fb and get called up by ISD for kopi.
Now statement taken pending if Kena charge for sedition.

ISD looks into many cases but few goes to court. Either a warning given or case referred to matu-chu. They may also use the interview process to gauge if one is suitable for cultivation!

 

[GoldenDragon]

So many people re-posted the cartoons. Are u sure they can charge all?

More likely police to investigate with ISD supporting the investigation.

"Under Singapore's Sedition Act, among other things, it is an offence to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against the Government."

is this even legal in an international court of law? they can arrest you if you try to make people lose their love for the government? WTF is this? the PAP is doing a great job of it all by itself.

To restore its hold on the people, PAP needs to restore education to the old days of the 80s where the teacher's word is accepted unquestionably as the truth.

Sinkees are questioning too much ...LHL is suffering from panic attacks with every issue that pops up. In the last month, he has to deal with haze, cleaning of hawker centre, kovan murders and now CPIB corruption. Soon to come, Auditor General report on his office. LHL's cancer will return in no time if issues continue to jump up so frequently.

I doubt they can that's why sinkies need to rise up.
Or probably they just want to 'kill 1 to warn 100'.
In any case he has not been charged and as expected this was not reported in the papers.
Maybe just want to scare him as the guy used to be former SPF.
In any case, friends have told him to hire a lawyer and make a big hooha if he gets charged.
Make more aware, dun go down without a fight.

Cartoonist Leslie Chew Charged for Contempt of Court <--- Respect should be earned!!!

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-...lie-chew-for-contempt-of-court-102538645.html

A sad news, but expected it would happen one day to anyone having opposite views.
Making jokes about events and political leaders are life of artists and cartoonists.
Trying to resort under own courtyard does not earn them any respect.
In fact, they will lose more ground supports.
Don't they understand yet?

AGC drops action against cartoonist under Sedition Act

SINGAPORE: Singapore's Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) said it will not be taking further action against Chew Peng Ee, also known as Leslie Chew, for offences under the Sedition Act.

It said the public prosecutor arrived at the decision after reviewing the evidence in the investigation papers that the police submitted.

Chew was arrested on 19 April 2013 as part of investigations into whether he had committed offences under the Sedition Act for his publication of the comic series "Demon-cratic Singapore" on Facebook.

He was released on bail on 21 April 2013, and has remained on bail since.

With the AGC's decision on Monday, his police bail will be allowed to lapse, and his passport, which was surrendered as a condition of bail, will be returned to him.

AGC said Chew was informed of the decision earlier Monday.

However, the legal proceedings against Chew for contempt of court will continue.

In its statement Monday, the AGC reiterated that issues related to a pending case before a court should be discussed within the court itself. - CNA/xq

AGC drops contempt proceedings against cartoonist

SINGAPORE: The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) has agreed to drop the contempt proceedings against cartoonist Leslie Chew over his comic strips about the Singapore judiciary.

AGC said it has received a request from the cartoonist's lawyers "not to pursue the contempt proceedings against him if the comic strips in question are taken down, with an apology and undertaking prominently posted on the Demon-cratic Singapore Facebook page."

An AGC spokesman said the offending comic strips have been taken down from the web page, and that Mr Chew has given an apology and undertaking on Tuesday.

Posting on his Facebook page, Mr Chew also said that he will not re-post the comic strips in any form or medium.

He stated: "I further undertake that I will not in future put up any post or comic strip, or do any other act that amounts to contempt of court."

Through the apology and undertaking, the spokesman noted Mr Chew has accepted that the comic strips in question scandalised the Judiciary of Singapore. - CNA/xq
