| A big No No to racist-bloggers |
As I was shopping with M at Golden Bamboo @ Elias Mall, We came across the New paper that flashes " HE RANTED ABOUT STRANGER ON MRT TRAIN ". I looked up at the headline and it reads "Police Arrest Singapore Blogger over alleged racist comments in posting". I flipped and immediately bought the new paper and started reading. I found out more information about this article on the net and here's what I've found.
Arrested for racist blog . POLICE have arrested a 24-year-old man for posting contents in his blog that could "wound the racial feelings of another", according to their statement.The man was picked up at about 9.45 pm at his home in Paya Lebar Way. A computer was seized for investigations.. Police had received two reports on Monday complaining of the alleged posts.. Under the amendments made last September to the Penal Code, whoever, with intent to wound the religious or racial feelings of any person, causes any matter to be seen or heard by that person, shall be punished with a jail term of up to three years, or with a fine, or with both.. The Deputy Commander of Central Police Division HQ, Superintendent Lee Ping Yue, said the police "take a serious view of such irresponsible blog postings" and will expend all efforts to track down the offenders.. In 2005, three youths were convicted under the Sedition Act for making inflammatory racist remarks on their blogs. wo were jailed; the third was put on two years' probation and ordered to do 180 hours of community work.

And this is what he wrote in his blog (in exact words).
"So so so... what is this pathetic malay man (again, it have to be a MALAY!!!!) doing in the train? ... Aiya....stupid MALAYS!! Even if you are a Malay and am reading this... good for you..coz this is my personal blog and i can say what i deem fit.... if u wana defend yourself.... i suggest you arm youself with education and a motor mouth to compete against me.. else dont bother... coz i will bet my life on the line that, should you challenge me in a conversation... you will lose like what a true malay would....

According to the New paper, the dude is actually a undergraduate and denied being a racist and maintained he didn't harbour any ill will towards the racial group he wrote about. He said that entry was posted a few months ago and its only recently his blog was frequently mentioned on online forums.

Without multiracial harmony, would we have such beautiful people existing on the phase of this earth?

Ok, They look really hot right? Come on! Without multi racial harmony, would there be multi racial marriages? I am in favour of multi racial marriages because I believe love should go beyond colour. Honestly. If you are racist towards your own race, I've nothing to say, in fact no one can say anything? However, I'm pro Multi racial harmony and I agree on what the government did to create as much awareness when it comes to liberty of speech on the internet. yeah sure, it's your own space, your own blog, but please be aware that other humans and other eyes would be looking at it. Do not assume that your blog is only read by your friends only. Who knows, word comes around and you'll be fucked in the ass.
So let me end off with A few past blogging cases.
- Last month: Ong Kian Cheong, 49 and wife Dorothy Chan Hien Leng. 44. charged under Sedition Act and Undesirable publications act for allegedly distributing evangelistic publication that cast Prophet Muhammad in negative light
- 2006: 21 year old accounts assistant given stern warning for putting up offensive cartoon of Jesus on blog
- 2005: 27 year old man becomes first since 1966 to be jailed for a month under the sedition act for posting racist comments online.
- In connected case, 25 year old given day's jail and fined max $5,000.
- Later that year, 17 year old blogger given probabtion
So plesae be careful of what you post online. Keep racist comments to yourself, and join my team in being pro-multi-racial-harmonious. :DLabels: racist bloggers |
