In 2005, two bloggers were sent to jail for posting racist remarks online.
At the time, PM Lee said: "And so, racial harmony and religious harmony are of utmost importance in Singapore, which is why when somebody went and published some racist blogs recently, we came down very hard," he said. "All you need is one crazy guy and a disaster takes place and an enormous rent happens, a tear in the fabric of society." (http://www.womengateway.com/NR/exeres/486A85EF-2B82-421F-A730-CB0BB5718663.htm)
But now 6 years later, when one of PAP members is involved, he now said: "I think we have to respond in a mature and calm sort of way. It's wrong that they did it and we acted against them but it's not necessary for us to get worked up every time something like this happens. It will happen once in a while and we will have to take it in our stride." (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1169360/1/.html)

Scroobal, why don't you try naming the parties in the Foo Mee Har sex scandal you posted about? Then we can see whether you face the same set of laws.

Wrong target. He has never succumb to bait. Ramseth would at least respond but taiji. If Ramseth was Teflon, Scroobal would be Bilstein.

Not trying to bait him. Just showing the forum what a balless humji fella this Scroobal is. Internet anonymity?

Very easy intent. Whenever he hears a news, he reports here. If true, hurrah. If not, it's a passing rumour within a certain secretive network. One thing you have to conclude - this chap is quite deep within the system. This system contains among others that secretive network. As such I would rather let him be because we can hear stuff.

Anyway the Foo issue is partially true. Such things used to happen to my company, and it is a big finance industry organisation as well.
