A JOBLESS man allegedly posted a video clip of former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat’s assassination to the Facebook page of socio-political website Temasek Review, calling for such an event to be re-enacted here.

Gary Yue Mun Yew, 36, has also been accused of posting, on his own Facebook page last year, a doctored photograph of a Vietnamese soldier holding a gun to the head of then Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng, whose head had been superimposed onto the original image.

Yue, who allegedly committed the offences in his Marine Parade home, is due back in court on Thursday.

Under the law, whoever is convicted of making or communicating an electronic record containing an incitement to violence shall be punished with up to five years’ jail, a fine or both.

With his posting of the video clip of the assassination, Yue had included an accompanying comment that “we should re-enact a live version of this on our own grand-stand during our national’s (sic) parade”.

The parallel was that Mr Sadat was shot to death by Islamic fundamentalists who stormed a parade route in Cairo on Oct 16, 1981.

In the doctored photograph that is the subject of the other charge, Yue allegedly also digitally created the logo of the ruling People’s Action Party on the chest of the individual on whom Mr Wong’s head had been superimposed.

He is out on police bail.

In April this year, police arrested a 32-year-old man who threatened to set alight his voting slip for the May 7 General Election, and then put it into a ballot box.

The suspect, who was released on police bail, allegedly posted his comments on the popular fuckwarezone forum on March 5.
 
jobless people and the not-so-clever-ones should be ban from facebook.

i will take note of it.
 
Facebook has been selling information to government agencies and giving clandestine access to information security firms so that they can spy on people from all around the world. Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria.

Everything you do on Facebook stays on Facebook regardless of your “privacy” settings, and deleting your account is impossible, even if you “delete” your account, all your personal info stays on Facebook and can be recovered at any time. Changing the privacy settings to make your Facebook account more “private” is also a delusion. Facebook knows more about you than your family.

Man accused of inciting violence worked for weapons maker

SINGAPORE: The jobless man accused of posting Facebook entries inciting violence was an assistant principal engineer with weapons maker ST Kinetics.

36-year-old Gary Yue Mun Yew, who faces two charges, was fired from his job last month. His case has been adjourned to September 9.

ST Kinetics is the land systems and speciality vehicles arm of ST Engineering. According to ST Engineering's website, the list of products ST Kinetics makes includes the SAR 21 assault rifle and grenade launchers.

On August 9 last year, Yue allegedly posted a comment on the Temasek Review's Facebook Fan Page, saying a live version of an assassination should be re-enacted on the grandstand during the National Day parade.

Along with the alleged comment, it is believed he also posted a video clip depicting the assassination of former Egyptian president, Muhammad Anwar al-Sadat, who was killed by fundamentalists in Cairo in 1981.

The slim, bespectacled Yue is believed to have committed the offence in a Marine Drive flat.

And sometime in late July or early August 2010, Yue allegedly posted on his own Facebook page a doctored photograph showing former Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng with a gun to his head.

Yue is represented by lawyer, S. Balamurugan, who told the court on Thursday that he has a psychiatrist's report on his client's condition. The lawyer did not mention what this condition was.

Yue, who was expressionless as he stood in the dock, is out on a S$10,000 bail.

Temasek Review has since asked netizens to post responsibly. It posted a message on its Facebook page saying its moderators have no time to monitor the page 24 hours a day. Its website also said it does not condone nor endorse comments inciting violence against anyone.

If convicted, Yue can be jailed up to five years, fined, or both for each charge.
