I think the action taken on the two racist blogs might be too harsh as blogs unlike the newspapers or TV, usually are private or semi-public place for people to rant or grumble among themselves. Sooner or later the people involved will forgiive and forget. YP website has seen worse posting than these two blogs.
At the most, these two bloggers who posted some incorrect or racist remarks deserve a warning or small penalty not something so harsh or criminal considering that we also are launching a yellow ribbon campaign not to condemn people.
So people should stay cool, objective and factual and continue to post what are right and correct to check on wrong doings in society all the time and not to give up. They can be determined and see what happen.
To speculate and say that because of these two cases, people should stay away from posting for fear of reprisal will therefore make ourselves self-defeatist shooting ourselves in the foot.
Internet is the greatest communication device man ever invented and people are emancipated into a new era of freedom of expressions among themselves to rant and to ruminate as they like even though some of the flaming may become excessive.
Because of its semi-public nature there is no reason government wants to close it down or apply over-harsh rules to protect its own self-interest.
So why speculate in a negative manner to hinder the people's own cause. -

We can expect the govt to clamp down on anything remotely racist or extremist. Seeing as how these two posted unwarrented remarks to incite anti-racial behaviour, it would ultimately depend on exactly what they posted.Originally posted by robertteh:I think the action taken on the two racist blogs might be too harsh as blogs unlike the newspapers or TV, usually are private or semi-public place for people to rant or grumble among themselves.

With the posts removed, it is unlikely anyone save the courts will know the exact words.
Still, it is probably an unprecendented act either way.
Had the govt done nothing, it could have been blamed for allowing bloggers to proliferate racist remarks.
In this case, they are being questioned for excessive use of force and over reaction by alleging sedition. -
Overall, this example of charging 2 bloggers is to ensure you toe the line.
It should not be a 'scare' factor to entice people to tone down their remarks. -
aiyah wtf.. even if we don't post it here, the thoughts will still be harboured in our minds..

Shocking, and very sad.
After FORTY-FIVE YEARS of NATION BUILDING efforts - where has the Ruling Party led us to ?
The various racial community remains as isolated as never before, with the attendance at the occassionally - offically sponsored or organised - social and communal gatherings being no better then a show of perfunctory politeness in being politically correct.
Has the younger generation from the various Singaporean communities come any closer in being Singaporeans - similar to the 'kampong atmosphere and attitudes' of days gone by, when living on the ground allow more personal contacts than the claustrophobic and impersonal HDB flats ?
Despite the legislations and strenous official efforts to integrate the various racial groups so as to instill a NATIONAL SINGAPOREAN identity, there still seem to be a glass wall that allows each racial group to view the other but an invisible barrier divides each group.
It seems that as the barrier grow thicker, each racial group tends to assert their own uniqueness in ever stronger ways that push their unique position into the spotlight - even when those features are not part of local practises or cultures, but adopted from foreign countries.
Being a country of migrants, while we have ties to the various old homelands, it has been more than 180 years now since the various communities have settled on this island. While each community has its own social, cultural and religious practises, many of these practises have been further refined and evolved according to local circumstances.
Sadly, some of the politically sanctioned social and community groups have evolved old practises by adopting new and foreign practises - in dance, dress, mannerism, language, religious practises, etc - that seem to have emphasised the differences of each community in stronger ways.
In order for the minority community not to fade away and become insignificant in the Singapore diaspora, these minority community have also to find new ways to prevent their own cultural, social and religious practises from being extinguished.
While the diversity of Singapore contribute to the color and interesting character of ourselves, is it not possible for the various communities to progress without any competitive and acrimonious psychological feelings ? -
Today TNP talks abt online webbies that discuss political opinions.
I think mabbe one day, they might want to control sgforums. -
Sir, you may use "scare" factor to coerce or intimidate but have to use "sweet"(if you want to stick to letter s) or carrot to entice, ok?Originally posted by BillyBong:Overall, this example of charging 2 bloggers is to ensure you toe the line.

I have no sympathies for the 2 idiots.
A learned friend once said, people who think free speech means they can insult, curse and swear at others, have yet to grow out of their adolescence or complete their evolution as human being. Mmm....I can't help but agree with him. -
