From all the years of Demonising the Internet and Bloggers, it would be quite a turnaround if the S’pore govt were to do the same. But we should welcome it, if it does happen.

I’m glad to see the Malaysian govt not as hung up as their S’pore counterparts. At least not anymore, apparently.

Now lastest statements from MM he is going to hunt bloggers down. For anything that is seen to be against the reputation of the gahmen. Very disappointed with him.

I hope that people posting in the Internet should use their real identity (i.e. real name or pseudonym) and state their views honestly. They should not slander other people under the cloak of anonymity. If they have a vested interest, it should be declared.

The Internet can be made more crediable, if the people who give their comments are seen to be honest.

Tan Kin Lian,
you should not insist that people use their real identity if this government do not value human right, freedom of speech, etc…, and use infinite detain who disagree with view and action.

Why talk about credibility if our government even lack this themselves ?
If you watch the movie Warlord by Andy Lau and Jet Li, you know how ‘credible’ is our government…

The government promise freedom of speech only for wayang And then insist people use real identity ?

Tan,

Did you mean i slander? Read the SDP website for what MM said in court. Please READ them!

FG

Tan Kin Lian,
you will gain some supporters and lose some in the blogosphere. This is the fact of life in the web. But never mind whether there is slander or not as long as you explain your stand and conscience is clear. No one is perfect and everyone has their past but what matter is present and the future. Trying to unmask the person trying to slander you will not do any good. It will make people think that you are just another “LKY” (No offence but this is what most people here will think especially given your root as ex-CEO of NTUC Income) and backfire.

The past of LKY and his coffers have brought into present and future because the citizen continue to oppress and been ridiculed by them. Have they been sensible and astute enough to build a nation that truly call home, no one will want to bring out the past. Look at President Ong. He’s been in the PAP but the effort and the thing he did as president won the respect of the citizen because he prove himself to be the voice for the people, go against the norm if it means that his consicence is right. This is what we call President and true leader.

Just look at the type of president and so-call leaders in Singapore currently. Fancy they preach to us that they need exorbitant salary to do good job and gain moral authority ? What’s kind of value are they implant into next generation of Singaporean ? No wonder Singaporean start to degrade. It’s all start from the top who dictated much of Singapore past, present and the future. We the majority are what they are in the minority. These are the coffers that live in Ivory Towers not on the ground, and those PAPer’s that truly speak for the people are helpless against those in the Ivory Towers.

And these coffers even need leadership vow and revival ? What a clown ! We don’t need their opera show, we need their action.
