Uh oh Terry Xu kenna fixed? Mata seize equipment from TOC in defamation investigation

[Johnrambo]

Police on Tuesday (20 November) seized equipment such as desktop computers, mobile devices and laptops from the residence of Terry Xu, executive editor of long-running socio-political website The Online Citizen (TOC).

According to a post on TOC’s Facebook page at about 1.45pm, “The Online Citizen will be on hiatus for the time being as all electronic equipment used for the purpose of the website have been seized by the Singapore Police Force for an investigation into an alleged offence of Criminal Defamation under Section 21 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code Chapter 68.

“The equipment, which include desktop, mobile devices and laptops, was seized at the residence of Terry Xu in the presence of five police officers this morning. No confirmed date of return has been given as investigation will take some time to conclude.”

Kirsten Han, freelance journalist and editor-in-chief of online journalism platform New Naratif, tweeted at around 2.05pm, “Five police officers went to the home of @tocsg editor Terry Xu and seized his electronic equipment, as part of their investigation into an alleged offence of criminal defamation.”

Defamation should be strictly a private matter between the parties and be sorted out through civil proceedings. Why poodles need to get involved? Abuse of power here!

The take away from Seah Kian Ping’s Facebook post
The Online Citizen 2018-09-04 Letters

by Willy Sum
I refer to Mr Seah Kian Peng and K. Shanmugam's recent outburst against some Singaporean activists meet-up with the sitting Malaysian Prime Minister, both Members of Parliament from the People's Action Party, and I wonder what they have to be afraid of about this meeting?
Besides the cheap gimmick to draw attention to his pathetic Facebook following and amidst all the clamour and relentless hammering from the establishment, one thing in particular stood out to me from Seah's post, which is: "I’m amazed that Dr Thum and his supporters should proclaim that Singapore is part of Malaysia (or Malaya). Perhaps that is why he thinks it is permissible to ask its current prime minister to interfere in our affairs".
This is actually not too remote a probability that we should start thinking about, given that the only reason and cause for our independence and continued sustenance is now no longer around to assure our survival as a Nation.
The present PAP leadership severely lacks innovation, vision and the drive to take us into the next lap. We have seen multiple policy and foreign screw-ups, tampering of the Constitution, corruption at the highest echelons and apparent lack of respect from foreign powers ever since the demise of founding father Lee Kuan Yew. The dishonorable son was also publicly denounced by his whole family, with none but the PAP MPs on his side as highlighted by Mr Low Thia Khiang! The other side is already saying that we have no history, origins, culture and even a sound legal system to begin with.
The continuing saga also reminded me of the lead up to the Budget debate 2018, where Workers' Party MP Sylvia Lim was accused by the same gang against her speech, which she did not accept the "over characterisation those PAP MPs have put on her words and intentions", based on their own interpretation and "bourne out of overactive imaginations and oversensitivity".
The one country two systems can perhaps be considered, if and when the day comes where we have to return to Malaysia due to our dwindling population, lack of resources, diminished international stature and over development of our economy and there is no more room to do so.
