Magistrates and judges will also need to hang on to their jobs and careers.
We are unlike the USA where the judiciary is independent of the executive body and congress.

muahahahahahaha…. its finally happened! We are now officially living in a banana republic! The tin pot dictator has now decided that we cannot criticize the government, which means its policies, its ministers and every statement crapped out a PAP politician’s mouth… and in a group of 5. Muahahahaha… how about a forum of 40 people? Does the same apply here?

What a friggin joke of a country!

Can we say that some of the ruling party members are gay? Is this considered critical of the government body? Will I be put in jail?

Singapore is becoming more and more like Alice in Wonderland, with the old man being the Madhatter.

Isn’t there any International Human Rights Body that we could sent a petition up to?

Things are getting out of hand and if left uncheck, we will definitely suffer…Eric How is a good example of a danger to a continuing legacy.

I don’t really mind if we hit world headlines with this petition…at least , we Ordinary Citizens can show the world we are not always “Meek”.

Enough is enough.

For what I understand how the law is uphold in Singapore is a monopoly of the government, and there was never a seperation between the law and the state. Well, please feel free to provide more insights if you feel otherwise.

“The Judge agreed with the Prosecution that distributing flyers in a group of 5 or more persons criticising the PAP Government’s policies is an offence.”

Weird? What kind of a Judge agreed that criticising PAP Government’s policies is an offence? PAP big shot or big balls?

Such ridiculous Judge, hell basement 18 got reservation for u.

Herein lies another big concern for citizens. The police (prosecutors) can make such an arrest shows who’s side they are on. We truly live very dangerously in Spore where the police is not independenat at all, where the law is what someone writes on a piece of paper and where the judiciary is at the mercy of one person or group of persons.

Your post: “I must say criticising impulsively, twisting facts and worse of all showing the whole world how ignorant (stronger word: stupid) he himself is…”

- It seems you know the details of this case, like the judge. Can you please inform netizens your argument of why you think CSJ was criticising impulsively, twisting facts…….”

Your post: “Others in the world envies where we are and the peace and wealth we possess and starts laughing at such people… ”

- Who are the ‘others in the world”?? Who’s peace and who’s wealth? We? I don’t think so especially the wealth. As for peace, citizens pay a heavy price for it in Spore. We are not even allowed to show our anger to MPs who abuse their power – you get locked away forever.

Your post: “If you like to vote for people that act like hooligans and see a parliament session exchanging punches…”

- If you like to vote for people that act like Kings & Princes and lord over you and see a parliament of ‘yes’ men & women,….

Your post: “I give you an advise. Migrate and get lost from Singapore!”

- I give you an advise, go back to kindergarten or check yourself in at IMH. Thats why those who migrated are the intelligent ones who are able to make it. In case you do not know, you cannot go to Switzerland to be a cleaner.

the fact that this question, “Criticising the government is an offence?”, is asked worries me and i worry for the so-called 1st world citizens of a what is known as a democracy.

to me, its clear that of course they can be criticised. Its whether it is based on valid information where validity depends on accessibility to info.

to 35) and 39) , good observations indeed !

It is true the Japanese are in many ways superior to the Americans.
But I have a hunch the Japanese themselves believe Sporeans are supreme.
What ever organised crimes that they have for centuries can never beat Leegalised crimes.

Therein lies the possible reason why the old man has been invited over and over again by the Japanese to share his wisdom.
No matter what, the Japanese have yet to master Leegalised crimes.

Therefore could it be the old man has Spore in mind to remain forever supreme?

If you find kangaroos obscene… then you would find LKY telling Japanese to follow Singapore’s lead more obscene:

Best part is a few years ago, LKY was telling s’poreans that Japanese are superior … much better than Americans in so many ways…. the organised crime even help the public when earthquake strike.

So, never really believe lky… even if he sings praises of you, he can kick your ass later.

Hi, does anyone know where I can read the judgement? It looks interesting and I’ll like to see what the flyers actually said.

So SPH distributing paid “flyers” at ever corner of Singapore, and some articles, especially those written by the sisters, criticising alternative parties are not offence? I kangaroo two heads – object to one and approve to the other – that is precisely why Shamugan denied to 200 international strong lawyers.

I must say criticising impulsively, twisting facts and worse of all showing the whole world how ignorant (stronger word: stupid) he himself is – is a terrible disgrace to our Nation. Others in the world envies where we are and the peace and wealth we possess and starts laughing at such people… If you like to vote for people that act like hooligans and see a parliament session exchanging punches, I give you an advise. Migrate and get lost from Singapore!

National Geographic must update their data to include Singapore as a country with kangaroos. Except ours feed on money and belong to one old fart.

Obscene laws n self serving governance begets obscene response and votes.
