[h=1]CALVIN CHENG: MORE S'POREANS BREAK THE LAW BECAUSE OF ALTERNATIVE WEBSITES[/h]

It is my opinion that the current spate of people recklessly breaking the law, assaulting policemen, vandalism of HDB blocks, death threats etc is a direct result of rogue Internet sites.
People go online and read all the hatred and vile rhetoric, get psyched up, believe that there are many people who will support them, and get emboldened into breaking the law.
The boundaries between the online and offline world are getting more and more blurred and the authorities should spend more time and effort dealing with bad behaviour on the Internet before more and more of it spills over to real life.
