Chitchat No Further Action Against Calvin Cheng For Saying He Wants To Kill Terrorists' Kids!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE - The police have decided not to take any further action against former Nominated MP Calvin Cheng, who was being investigated after a report was made over controversial comments he made online.

The decision was made after careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case and in consultation with the Attorney-General's Chambers, the police said in a letter to Mr Cheng dated Oct 5.

They added that all investigations and enquiries into the matter would stop, and the case will be closed.

A police report was made against Mr Cheng last December (2015) by People's Power Party (PPP) organising secretary Augustin Lee Tze Shih, over Mr Cheng's comments online about killing the children of terrorists.

Calvin Cheng's comments on 'killing children' insensitive, but not hate speech, says Media Literacy Council

In a four-line Facebook comment in last November, Mr Cheng had seemed to advocate killing the children of terrorists "in case they grow up to take revenge", which drew sharp criticism from netizens.

Mr Lee had said in his police report that the comments contravened the Sedition Act.

Following the controversy, the Media Literacy Council, which advises the Government on developments pertaining to the Internet and media, and which Mr Cheng was a member of, issued a statement saying that his words were insensitive but did not amount to hate speech.

Mr Cheng also apologised to his fellow council members, the Media Development Authority and his supporters in a Facebook post.

It proves that if you're a PAP porlumpar, you're safe from Kangaroo court justice.

He is not fit to be a member of the council, was he sacked from the council?

Nope, his term was over and he did a smooth handover.

Police closes case against ex-NMP Calvin Cheng

By The Independent - October 10, 2016



The Police have said that they will not take further action against former Nominated MP Calvin Cheng. Mr Cheng made a controversial remark in his Facebook in December 2015 that seemingly advocated the killing of terrorists’ children “in case they grow up to take revenge”. At least two police reports were lodged against the former Parliamentarian.

The Straits Times reported that the police in a letter dated 5 Oct to Mr Cheng said that the decision was made after careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case and in consultation with the Attorney-General’s Chambers. The letter further said that all investigations and enquiries into the matter would stop, and the case will be closed.

Mr Cheng was a former PAP member before being selected to become an NMP in 2009. He created controversy because he did not resign from the party before submitting his application to become a non-partisan NMP. He only resigned after he was selected.

Mr Cheng’s case is the second one the Police closed in recent weeks. it was reported on 29 September that the Police also closed the case on a case of Nee Soon GRC MP, Lee Bee Wah, going up on the stage at a seven-month Getai event during the GE2015 campaigning period (http://theindependent.sg/police-closes-case-against-nee-soon-mp-lee-bee-wah).

Police reports made against other MPs have also been closed in the past years. In 2011, Nicole Seah lodged a complaint against Tin Pei Ling for breaching Cooling-Off Day regulation. The Police decided not to take any further action against Marine Parade GRC Member of Parliament.

In Feb 2015, filmmaker Martyn See filed a Police report against MP Lam Pin Min. The filmmaker filed a complaint against Dr Lam for offences committed under the Sedition Act (Chapter 290) and sub judice contempt of court. Referring to a scuffle that happened at a Thaipusam festival, the Sengkang West MP remarked “an example of how alcohol intoxication can cause rowdiness and public nuisance.” This case has also been closed.

Isn't it obvious that the Media Literacy Council would side with him because he was a Member? Sinkees are stupid because they can't see the obvious and don't bother to examine the details.

It is a statement ...the AG should justify his decision to sinkees. Sinkees must demand to know why and not accept decision without question. Sinkapore education make sinkees to accept decision without questioning. That's why sinkees are lacking in creative and are not innovative. We don't question.

Why should this be seditious? Which Singaporean is a terrorist? Or is Mr Lee implying certain type of Singaporeans is prone to be terrorists? In this case, who is the seditious one?

Not okay because PAP is not terrorist.

He only say "terrorists". Should we not all try to eliminate terrorists?

Then you should write that all muslims be sent to gas chambers like how the Jews were treated by the Nazis.

Amos Yee must be kicking himself for pleading guilty for his comments on Muslims. He could have cited this case for his defence.
