Did Ms Wee just violated the Sedition Act?
Sedition Act (Singapore)
The Sedition Act is in Chapter 290 of the Statues of Singapore. It was last revised in 1985.
In September 2005, the Sedition Act was first used on individuals when three men, including a teenager, were charged for making seditious and inflammatory racist comments on the Internet.
Seditious tendency.

MP Wee, in his dismal attempt to soften the effect of his daughter’s ramblings, had sought to downplay the incident as a lack of sensitivity on her part and to quote him "Some people cannot take the brutal truth and that sort of language, so she ought to learn from it.”
a chip off the old block.

[/b] They might even counter the charge with a violation of privacy. -
So what u saying that PAP is ABOVE the Law ?Originally posted by ditzy:The act is applied selectively. PAP or kins directly under PAP are probably immuned. They might even counter the charge with a violation of privacy.
Now that's seditious! -
Now.... that is a real joke...Originally posted by Hogzilla:Quite hard lor.
I think harder than getting the gahmen to publish the accounts of the Suzhou Industrial Park lor. -
I find this is most amusing on Ms Wee's character
"The going gets tough, Ms Wee closed up and get going""
So do we really need future leaders of such ?
So what type of "elite" characters does she has ?

I dun realy like CSJ (such a trouble maker) but at least he stayed behind and face the music. -
I believe everyone has their own view. may it be right or wrong . But to just walk out after creating all the nonsense is plain irresponsible.
How to have trust of such people to lead us in latter years ???
All she needs to say is " I am sorry for being insensitive "
Is that so hard to come by ? Or are we such an unforgiving nation that cannot let a 18 kiddo off ? -
Wake up , we are not the nation, those that can use the law against others are the Nation.Originally posted by miserable:I believe everyone has their own view. may it be right or wrong . But to just walk out after creating all the nonsense is plain irresponsible.

You are not the Elite , so how can you claim to be the productive part of the nation? -
For me, I am just pissed because Wee jnr's not facing this herself... That, to me... is crap... So irresponsible? Hello? She's on scholarship? Oh my gosh... Please inform MOE to add one more module to her examinable subjects, it's called "RESPONSIBILITY". Perhaps, add in the extras like "EQ" too...Originally posted by miserable:I believe everyone has their own view. may it be right or wrong .

And I really don't think 18 is a "kiddo" age... At 18, do anything that's unlawful and punishable by law, that 18 year old will tried as an adult... -
Hmm....Squiggly, I do not disagree with u. I will feel very sad and be very worried should our protential future leaders are of such character.
