racist bloggers charged...
its pretty old news that 2 blokes got charged for racist remarks made in their blogs recently... while this is hardly surprising as much as it is interesting (to me), i found that ppl's reaction to this are even more interesting than the case itself.
sure, singaporeans have their own views on this, but it is interesting to know how ppl from outside singapore view this incident.
for starters, here's the definition of the 2 words in debate.
sedition n : an illegal action inciting resistance to lawful authority and tending to cause the disruption or overthrow of the government.
racism n : discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race.
i wanted to quote some of the forum entries here, well i did actually, but i deleted, cos scared of Big Brother watching.... cos according to lawyers in the article, it is warned that "anybody who forwards seditious remarks to others via email can also be charged with abetment... It is also an offence to utter any seditious words or to print, publish, sell, distribute, reproduce or import any seditious publication."
well, hope nothing comes my way after i put up this link here. it's an interesting read... ;) but dun think the Singapore Big Brother will like many of the comments there.
