SO…..is Wee Swee Kim sorry or not? He again stated that his daughter’s blog was quoted ‘OUT OF CONTEXT’ and a maelstrom was kicked up not because of her fault! He’s now denying his second apology!!!!

WHAT THE F***???!!!!!

Anyone who blogs and lets his blog be public but who thinks his blog is private obviously has a screw loose in his head.

I agree that nothing is sacrosanct on the Internet anymore. I learnt it the hard way when some people outside the regular community of my readers of my own “private” blog started yakking about me. Now that blog is passworded, but then I think it is still unsafe. I had a “really private” blog (unsearchable by Google and having a really long nonsensical name which doesn’t make sense) but have since deleted it.

I think people are better off penning their thoughts in a notebook if they want them to remain truly private. Just my two cents’ worth =)

If laws are so freely used to curb what perceived as obstruction to one’s ‘order’ and ‘morality’. I hope, the same legistrative powers will also come up with laws to punish people who lie on official duties or to the masses too.

Lies in fact, are more fatal than any known disseases in the world.

I hope this country can implement this as soon as possble for the sake of businesses and society!

All books opened to be fair, and the world can learn from us of course.

a chief scribe talks about chasing rodents. these rodents are evil and can infect communities with fatal diseases, so he said. therefore, let’s use legislation and kill them before they kill us with their diseases. wow. that’s deep.
now let’s see. can we apply this same logic to lies?
lies come in different form and weightage.
a lie coming from a retard does not pose as much harm as let say…a lie coming from pharisaical leaders with much greater responsibilities over lives?
what can such lies potentially do to a community if not rectified?

cause destruction to lives? families? suicides? bankrupts? false imprisonment? wars? environmental destruction? etc?

now how about those who knew about these damaging lies and not do anything to correct it?

should they turn to legislation to wield out all these evil doers and evil ignorers because….wow, they are ‘criminals’ and accessory to crimes?

robert, are sure they are liars out there? because, it sounds very serious base on scribe’s logic you know.

“How else can they track criminals? If they can track criminals, then they can track anybody”

In our very well “behaved” and “control” Singapore internet universe, there is a positive to this. As Mr Biao puts it, this has allowed our law enforcment agencies to track criminals down quickly. However, many will argue that the flip-side is whether this will engender the “police state” fear. No wonder, many internet savvy users remain, at best, surfers or passive “participants”. But we are a young “internet state” and we’re maturing, and hopefully, credibly. Keep up the good work, TOC!

Internet policing is not as slack as many believe it to be. Our internet surfing activities are all logged and should there be a need, authorities can pull up records anytime to find out our online activities. How else can they track criminals? If they can track criminals, then they can track anybody.

I was once told by an industry insider that even our searches on search engines are tracked.

Robert, don’t you think that on the other side of the coin, you are “otracise”?

RH: IN SINGAPORE, AT LEAST, YOU CAN ALWAYS TRUST AND BELIEVE THE SINGAPORE BLOGS YOU READ BECAUSE, UNLIKE THE PAP MEDIA, LIE KUAN YEW WILL SUE AND ARREST US IF WE BLOG LIES, MISCHIEF, INACCURACIES OR ANYTHING REMOTELY DISHONEST. MY BLOG IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TRUTH ULTIMATELY PREVAILS AND EVEN LIE KUAN YEW’s PRISONS AND TORTURERS, NOR HIS COMPLIANT COURTS, CAN FORCE ME TO RECANT ONE SINGLE WORD.

Its impact on the world has been phenomenal. But, as stated earlier, the majority of Singaporeans are not yet using the internet or hooked up to the furious debates flying over the blogosphere.
—————————————————————-

I think there is only a few hundreds of us active in Cyperspace; not even a thousand.

And it is “gnat-bites” as compared to mainstream broadsheet.

And our impact is still minimal, hence the freedom we are enjoying over here….unrestraint..till another Philip Yeo – A*Star episode or Mr. brown TODAY Column “firing a shot across the bow” kind of warning, indirectly saying “TONE DOWN OR ELSE!!!”

Enjoy while it lasts as technology exists that can cut-off “unwanted website” like when I was in DUbai…and I can’t access one of the “Sammyboy”..because it is on the “unwanted list”…
