[postnew]

SINGAPORE, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Three Singaporeans were jailed
on Thursday after being charged with contempt of court for
showing up at Singapore''s Supreme Court wearing T-shirts
depicting kangaroos in judges robes.
Isrizal Bin Mohamed Isa andMuhammad Shafi''ie Syahmi Bin
Sariman were sentenced to seven days'' jail, while Tan Liang Joo

Tan is the Assistant Secretary-General of the opposition Singapore Democratic Party, led by Chee Soon Juan.
The three had worn the T-shirts at a court hearing in May to

Singapore''s attorney-general said in bringing the case to

so read this... you pap attorney general...

The International Bar Association's (IBA) Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) on 08 July 2008 released a study assailing the Singaporean government on its human rights standards and records, and underscoring the city-state's severe "limitations on the freedoms of expression, assembly, and the press, and of the independence of the judiciary".

...it's nothing to do with politics or persons,you insult and mock the high office,you'll be charged accordingly.

If that is the case, than why nothing happened to Arse Loong when he called Dhanablan a name, and than slapped him. Dhanabalan was a cabinet Minister at that time. That is a very high office.He was mocked, insulted and physically attcaked. How do you explain this? Cannot right? U are full of shit.

If it's nothing to do with politics, why was CASE, a PAP-sponsored organization allowed to hold protest and rally at Parliament House? Why must only Tak Boleh Tahan protest become a crime?

 

[theblackhole]

Cannot right? U are full of shit.

These 3 are real idiots. At least pick an issue or a cause to fight for. Really simple minded - wear t-shirt in court. Might as well pee in front the Police Station as this is in many ways a Police State.

Old Man will be laughing when you get dissenters with simple minds like that. Must be a world's first.

Frankly how can PHD candidate think like that? There are so many issues that you can screw the PAP for and Singaporeans will immediately relate to that. . Just take the CPF for instance. How come the returns for so long has been so low. Why it can't it fund our retirement.

Put CPF in big letters on the T-shirt with a question mark and ask where is the money. Sure get 100% support. It will land you in jail but it hits the mark.

actually if one of them were to dress up in a full KANGAROO costume and distribute little boomerangs as souvenirs to passerbys, maybe the whole thing would look really comical and appeared more harmless on the surface but deadlier beneath.:p
