SINGAPORE - A second People's Action Party (PAP) Member of Parliament has taken issue with sociopolitical website The Real Singapore (TRS) for publishing false information.

Chua Chu Kang MP Zaqy Mohamad early Tuesday morning asked TRS to produce proof within 24 hours that allegations made against his town council in an article published on the website, are true. If TRS is unable to do so, he wants TRS to remove the post and apologise.

Mr Zaqy's request comes a few weeks after Tampines GRC MP Irene Ng lodged a police report against TRS when it published an article falsely attributed to her. That article has since been removed.

The TRS post which Mr Zaqy says is untrue is a letter written by one of his constituents, Ms Serene Tham.

Ms Tham claims she suffered injuries after falling down on a staircase in Chua Chu Kang two months ago, and that certain recent actions by the town council contradict an earlier statement it made that the staircase was safe.

Mr Zaqy said that Ms Tham's allegation is "clearly false and borders on defamation".

He noted in a Facebook post that the matter is currently being investigated for an insurance claim, and added: "I would have expected TRS to know that during such time, disclosure of the facts would be prejudicial to the parties involved... TRS should thus instead, take great care to validate all facts before considering to publish such potentially defamatory articles, as false allegations from the contributor made publicly will certainly not help Ms Tham's case." TRS, in turn, indicated it could not produce proof. The original post has not yet been removed.

In a statement on Tuesday signed off by its "chief editor" called Mohd Farhan, TRS said that it contacted Ms Tham who stands by her allegations. By doing so, it has been "transparent and accountable", TRS added.

It noted that it republished Mr Zaqy's claims as well, and the site's editors are "now taking the time to respond to and clarify our position on this issue".

It added that it tries to validate facts before publishing, but "due to the nature of many of the issues raised, it is in fact impossible for us to wait for or even receive clarification from MPs or Government organisations on the issues."

The editors of TRS are unknown although they are said to be a couple living in Australia. Prior to this statement, Mr Farhan had written two satirical articles for the website.

It is either defamatory or it is not. If it 'borders on defamation', then he has no bloody clue.

"I would have expected TRS to know that during such time, disclosure of the facts would be prejudicial to the parties involved... TRS should thus instead, take great care to validate all facts before considering to publish such potentially defamatory articles, as false allegations from the contributor made publicly will certainly not help Ms Tham's case."
Oh, another exhibit of the caring PAP MP. Not! He is trying to save the PAP TC's butt.

Farhan should not give a hoot to the cries of the PAP MP.

And also the term "potentially defamatory articles". There is no such term as the article is either defamatory or not, what potential as he talking about. PAP MPs can really talk cock.

whether or not the person suing has a case or not is besides the point.
anyone can sue as long as they are prepared to pay to see the process through and you are damm right about the scare and bullying tactics

they are banking on the party/ person being sued not wanting to spend to defend themselves.....

That is why everyone here needs to follow my advice in order to get rich. Read the "retirement" sticky for tips and guidance.

Being rich has many advantages not just in Singapore but pretty much ANYWHERE in the world. I highly recommend it.

Instead of wasting time and effort complaining about how unfair life is, channel that energy and emotion into creating wealth. You won't regret it.

http://www.themillionairessintraining.com/2012/07/9-benefits-of-being-wealthy/

Here it is 9 benefits I have observed about the benefits of being wealthy by observing the rich:

Freedom, was the first thing I thought of. I have interviewed a few millionaires that have so much freedom to do what they want, whenever they want to.


Options, with freedom you get options. The option to go left, or right or side ways any direction you choose. The option to act on opportunities that others may not have without having money.


Choices, with those options comes choices and with so unlimited options to choose from you can make more mistakes. Millionaires I know have made more mistakes in their life-time that they become experts because they failed forward. The take higher risks which bring them bigger rewards.


Free, some people laugh at me that I like getting things for free. Well so do Millionaires the get a lot of things for free. Why do you think celebrities get things for free. They can certainly afford anything they want being rich but they receive more in comps and gifts and or better discounts. How else do you think most Millionaires keep their Millionaire status? They are frugal and understand how to make more and keep more.


Relationships, you have heard that saying “The Rich, Get Richer”. It’s because they teach their kids. They network and build on relationships around their environment. If you have money than people start coming to you with options to get the best deals, investments and opportunities. If I found a deal I didn’t have the money to take advantage of, I would give it to a friend or relationship in my network that could take advantage of it.


Fun, Millionaires have more fun! They get to travel the world, explore things that most have never done before or seen before. I always ask most people what is the best place you have ever been or seen and I learn something new or place that I never heard of before. Traveling may not be appealing to you but they may also have fun by collecting things they are interested in. So it depends on what your definition of fun is but I have seen, car lovers, watches, horses, books, all types of hobbies that the wealthy are able to take part in. Expensive sports, and collections that rich people have been able to have the freedom to experience what others can’t.


Philanthropy, almost all wealthy people want to give back. It is human nature for us to be contribution. I bet you would want to give it away if you had more than enough. You know that you can be a philanthropist without any money, but it feels good to be able to help with money.


Physical, have you noticed most Millionaires are really fit. Not all but most of them keep themselves in tip top physical condition. This is one habit I have been focusing on lately. People with money usually have a trainer or keep a mentor around to help them. With any goal they surround themselves with people who are experts or mentors to help the get the results they want to achieve.


Resources, are more readily available to the wealthy. If it is your desire to have your kids in the best school district, travel the world, live in the best neighborhoods or get connected you have a better chance when you are wealthy.
