  • Are SPF And ELD The Lapdogs Of PAP?

    Are SPF And ELD The Lapdogs Of PAP?

    I have a very poor opinion of Roy Ngerng. I think most of the things he writes are senseless drivel and some of the things he writes are dangerously incendiary. I thought that it is not entirely without reason that he got his ass handed to him in court for writing stupid things about PM Lee.

    All that said, I am abhorred by the way he was treated by the police recently. A police report was made against Roy Ngerng and Teo Soh Lung by the Elections Department Department (ELD). I had earlier written that I, as well as many others, were baffled by that action.

    For their alleged offence, Roy and Ms Teo were interrogated by the police for hours. Worse, the police went to search their homes. You can see the brave men-in-blue (though they are in plainclothes here) in action:

    So the two of them posted things that could possibly be in contravention of ELD’s cooling off day regulations. And we can’t even be certain if they did. They are individuals writing about their personal political views. Something which isn’t prohibited by the cooling off day restrictions.

    But let’s say that there is a prima facie case against them. The police therefore need to investigate to see if there is sufficient reasons to charge them. Fine. But is there a need to search their homes? Is there a need to take their laptops, computers and mobile phones? And to mobilize so many people to do it? A tad excessive no? And an utter waste of state resources isn’t it?

    Here’s Roy’s account of the abhorrent ordeal that he had to go through:

    What is more abhorrent and disgusting is the inconsistency. Let’s say that Roy and Ms Teo were both guilty of contravening ELD’s regulations. Let’s say that the police really had to do what they did to establish guilt. Then why the hell weren’t they as rigorous in investigating  other alleged breaches of ELD’s regulations?

    What other breaches you ask? These other breaches:

    Here you see Minister Shanmugam’s face plastered all over a hawker centre. That was during the GE2015. If you scrutinize those posters, you will realise that none of those posters “bear the bear the official stamp issued by the Returning Officer.” Worse, they are in a hawker centre! That is a clear violation of ELD’s regulations!

    So what has the police done to investigate the report made by Mr Daryl Teng? Don’t know. Were they as rigorous? Did they search the home of Minister Shanmugam? Highly unlikely. Why this inconsistency? God (if you are the God-fearing type) knows! It is no wonder that many people are of the opinion that the SPF and ELD are lapdogs of the PAP.

    Now SPF and the ELD has one chance to redeem themselves. A fresh complaint to ELD was made on 30 May. It was made against the site Fabrications against PAP. It alleges that the page shared a post on cooling off day that made specific reference to DPM Tharman’s speech at PAP’s rally that called people to vote for Murali.

    The nature of that post and those that landed Roy and Ms Teo in trouble appear identical. If Roy and Ms Teo were subjected to such treatment as a result of what they posted on cooling off day, then the people behind Fabrications about PAP ought to be subjected to the same treatment. Otherwise it would confirm the opinion of many people – SPF and ELD are lapdogs of the PAP. Lapdogs that would snap and bite people when they speak against the PAP, but would loyally and doggedly defend those who speak in favour of the PAP.

    And that would be really sad. And ironic. Ironic because just this Monday,DPM Tharman said that there is now more freedom of speech today compared to a decade ago. He said:

    “We have evolved into a society that has more freedoms, but it has some restrictions and they serve a purpose.”

    It seems that our evolution is proceeding at a glacial pace. And sometimes seem to be a Sisyphean evolution. Or perhaps he meant to say that there is freedom, up until you dare to threaten PAP’s stranglehold on power?

  • Goh Meng Seng: Singaporeans Also To Blame For Death Of Benjamin Lim

    Goh Meng Seng: Singaporeans Also To Blame For Death Of Benjamin Lim

    When Amos Yee was ill treated by the State Police, put through the torture of interrogation and remained in IMH, many people didn’t see the problem of such act by the police state. Even when people like me protested against such treatment, even though I do not agree to his rude behavior, were scorned at and criticised.

    When it comes to Benjamin, the same police state tactic was used upon this poor child who was even younger than Amos Yee. The only difference is that this young boy could not take the pressure and committed suicide. Then there is this uproar.

    The irony is, the same old technique has been used by the police over and over again, regardless whether you are a teenager or adult. Cruel techniques were used to extract unwilling confession from the ISD detainees but nobody squeaked. Few people squeaked when Amos Yee was treated badly by the same police state just because people are more intolerant of his rude behavior than the rouge police state.

    Few Singaporeans see the need to speak up against the rouge police state because they are blinded by their own fear and prejudice. Singaporeans have little sense of social justice until something really bad goes wrong. Singaporeans also lack the empathy to understand that by not standing up to the tyrannic police state, they will become part of the justification of the murderous system. Yes, Singaporeans, by keeping quiet all along with all the injustice happening throughout the decades, are guilty of letting this bloody system grow and take the life of a teenager.

    Pastor Martin has this to say about the COWARDICE of the Germans under the Nazi:

    First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Socialist.
    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    And the same can be said about Singaporeans as well:

    First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Socialist.
    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
    Then they came for the Student Activists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Student Activist.
    Then they came for the Opposition, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not an Opposition.
    Then they came for the Social Activists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Social Activist.
    Then they came for the Young Rascal Amos Yee, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Young Rascal like Amos Yee.
    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    I do not think Benjamin will Rest In Peace when the whole society is guilty in part to the murderous police state.

  • SPF: Death Of 14 Year Old Male Student Under Investigation For Alleged Outrage Of Modesty – Procedures To Be Reviewed

    SPF: Death Of 14 Year Old Male Student Under Investigation For Alleged Outrage Of Modesty – Procedures To Be Reviewed

    In this case, a Police report was lodged about a molestation. Based on CCTV evidence, Police officers went to conduct enquiries at a school. To keep investigations discreet, the officers went in plainclothes and in unmarked cars. After discussions with the school officials, and the viewing of the CCTV records, Benjamin was identified as the boy in the CCTV records. He was brought to the Principal’s office by a school official and was spoken with in the presence of a Police officer. Before he was brought back to Ang Mo Kio Division, he contacted his mother to inform her of the Police’s investigations. The Police officer also spoke to the mother.

    While at Ang Mo Kio Division, he was interviewed by one Investigation Officer at his workstation in an open plan office with other workstations. He was fully cooperative during the interview. He was then released on bail and went back with his mother.

    The Police have been asked whether it should review the procedure to allow an appropriate adult to be present when a young person is interviewed. The Police will review and address this issue.

    Police investigations have not been completed. A Coroner’s Inquiry will be held upon the conclusion of investigations, where all the relevant facts will be presented to the State Coroner. At the inquiry, the family will also be able to raise all questions that they may have.

    Benjamin’s passing was tragic. The Police have expressed their deepest condolences to the family. They have met the family to address their questions on the case and provide clarifications on the actions of the Police officers during their interaction with Benjamin.

  • Why SPF Did Not Take My Call On Unconcious Foreign Worker Seriously?

    Why SPF Did Not Take My Call On Unconcious Foreign Worker Seriously?

    I called 999 on 23 august 2015 at 9.21pm to request for help as i saw an foreign worker fall down out of sudden while sweeping leaves on the grass patch and was unconscioused even when i tried to ask him if he is alright.

    Shortly after,I received a call at 9.24pm, a police officer from bedok north npc, asked me loads of questions with a few times of laughter in between the conversation and even suspect me as a foul play.

    This is a matter of life and death as the person leg was trembling and i request for officer to come down to assist me but till the ambulance arrived and access the patient to leave for hospital, i did not see any police officer came to the scene to assist.

    So, may i know what is going on? Police station is so nearby yet none of the police bothered to come over? And suspecting me calling 999 as foul play? I arent that free to do such childish nonsense act!

  • Woman Nabs Upskirt Pervert, But Police Let Him Off With A Warning

    Woman Nabs Upskirt Pervert, But Police Let Him Off With A Warning

    Last October, a gutsy young lady noticed something amiss when a man started getting too close for comfort. Her suspicions were proven right as she noticed the man trying to capture photos of her underwear from under her skirt.

    Outraged, she turned and kicked the pervert in the chest. She then pinned the man to the wall as she swiped the pervert’s phone from his grasp before calling the police. Police arrived shortly after to take the man into custody.

    As the pervert was led away by police, the brave young woman, Ms Chan, told him: “Good luck to you. You are so unlucky to have met me.”

    Unfortunately, this story does not turn out the way most people expected.

    10 months after his arrest, the pervert was issued a police warning and the case was closed. The police would not be taking any further action against the upskirt photographer.

    This is despite clear precedents of upskirt photographers being charged in court under S509 of the Penal Code. According to the Singapore Criminal Lawyer blog, “Insult of Modesty covers non-physical acts of sexual harassment. This includes, but is not limited to, taking of up-skirt photographs of women, flashing, uttering vulgarities intended to insult women.”

    “Insult of Modesty is defined by S509 of the Penal Code: whoever, intending to insult the modesty of any woman, utters any word, makes any sound or gesture, or exhibits any object, intending that such word or sound shall be heard, or that such gesture or object shall be seen by such woman, or intrudes upon the privacy of such woman.”

    Upon receiving notification from the police about the conclusion of her case, Ms Chan posted the news on her Facebook page, which was met with collective disappointment in the Singapore Police Force’s (lack of) action. Many netizens wondered why the police force took 10 whole months to pursue what seemed like a straight forward case before eventually turning up empty handed.

    If anything, this case might serve as an unhealthy precedent for future offenders, who may be emboldened to take the risk of upskirt photography to satisfy their vain pleasures.
