此前,人力部长援引《防假消息法》对民主党三则文章和网络贴文发出更正指示。民主党要求撤回遭拒绝,于是上诉高庭。民主党争取上诉在公堂(open court)审理。 不过高庭发言人告知本地媒体,在明日(16日)进行的审讯仍维持在内堂审理,意味着不会开放给公众聆听。 根据《防假消息法》的上诉程序规则,若不满要求撤销指示的申请被部长驳回,当事者可透过提呈原诉传票(originating summons)和书面证词(supporting affidavit),上诉高庭。 高庭认为所有原诉传票申诉,都安排在内堂审理,而不是在公堂。 民主党在此前的文告指出,此案涉及公共利益,且《防假消息法》也广受在野党和公民社会的诟病,更何况外籍PMET课题亦牵动国人神经。 故此,该党认为有鉴于上述课题可能成为来届选举的热门议题,希望上诉能在公堂审理,让群众亦有机会旁听。 去年12月14日,人力部援引《防止网络假信息和防止网络操纵法案》(POFMA),向民主党发布的三则贴文和文章发出更正指示。 本月6日,人力部表示“经过谨慎考量”,,认为民主党的申请没有充分理据,故此拒绝撤回指示。不过并未详细解释,民主党的申请为何理据不足。 民主党也不甘示弱回应,人力部也无法为他们的决定提出理据,并指该党提出申请时,已列出详细理由,包括人力部数据分析和该党贴文的对比。

去年在新加坡海峡发生的海上抢劫事件,比前年多了三倍以上,达到31宗。 亚洲反海盗及武装抢劫船只区域合作协定组织(ReCAAP)信息共享中心,今天(15日)发布了2019年的年度报告,指去年发生在新加坡海峡的31宗海上抢劫事故中,其中15宗于1月至8月期间在西向航道发生,而东向巷道的16宗案件,则多数发生于9月尾至12月期间。 在西向航道上发生的事故中,一些遇劫船只的驳船废铁被盗;而在东向巷道的海盗事件中,大部分海盗在听到船上响起警报后就急忙逃离,遇劫船只没有面对任何亏损。 然而,有六宗发生在东向航道的海盗事件中,船只上的引擎零件、废铁、锁头、绳索和船员个人物品都被盗取。 我国自2015年创下99宗海盗事件高峰后,在2016年至2018年所发生的海盗事件,分别为两宗、八宗和七宗,因此去年的31宗案件似乎有重新崛起的趋势,引起人们关注。 相对的,亚洲地区的海上抢劫事故也有增长趋势。和去年相比,亚洲地区共发生了71宗海盗犯案以及11宗海盗企图犯案,达到了82宗事故,比前年的事故总数提升了8巴仙,而海盗犯案事故也增加了15巴仙。

黄鲁胜昨日(14日)于总统府宣誓就职,重新获委总检察长,任期三年至2023年。 哈莉玛总统于昨日在脸书发图文,图中显示黄鲁胜在大法官梅达顺的见证下,向总统宣誓。 总统称“有信心黄鲁胜能公平正直地履行职责。” 黄鲁胜现年66岁,是在2017年初接替维克拉惹,成为我国第九任总检察长。 黄鲁胜在本地法律界有30多年的执业经验,专长于银行业、企业与金融服务相关法律事务。他也曾经担任海事及港务管理局,以及新加坡国际仲裁中心主席。 曾任总理私人律师 不过,他也曾担任总理李显龙的私人律师。对此,工人党议员林瑞莲曾在国会质问,委任黄鲁胜为总检察长可能存在利益冲突。 当时律政兼财政部高级政务部长英兰妮则辩称,政府是经过详细和严格的挑选后,决定由黄鲁胜出任该要职,并指“我国法律清楚列明该如何处理涉及利益冲突的事件,并严格遵守这些规定。” 而如果有案件是总检察长或副总检察长在担任律师期间曾处理过的,他们将自行回避。
