During the last few days, anti-PAP fliers critical of the PAP were being distributed to households in Pasir Ris-Punggol and Marine Parade GRCs.
Printed on A-4 sized papers in both English and Chinese with the title ¡§The
truth that every citizen must know¡¨, the fliers made ¡§allegations about corruption and exploitation and complained about cost of living, among other things¡¨ and urge residents to take ¡§collective and concerted action to go against the PAP¡¨.

A police report has been made and the Singapore Police Force is currently investigating the case under the ¡§Sedition Act¡¨.
The mainstream media had tried to cast aspersions on the credibility of the content of the fliers without publishing the full details.
PAP MP Charles Chong who sparked an outcry two years ago by describing Singaporeans as ¡§lesser mortals¡¨ said the allegations against the PAP were too ¡§broad and wild¡¨ to warrant a response.
¡§It looks like someone wants to have a head start this time¡KWe will respond if they are more specific and credible¡KThe public could draw its own conclusions about the allegations,¡¨ he was quoted as saying in the Straits Times.
A few of our readers have since scanned and emailed the fliers to us.
We will leave it to Singaporeans to decide for themselves if its contents are indeed seditious and to quote Mr Charles Chong, ¡§The public could draw its own conclusions about the allegations¡¨.
