  If you want to press charges, more than half the forumners in Speaker's Corner would have kena charged by now [/quote]
  
  Hmm, if they(Gahmen) really wants to press charge, it's the moderators they are going after. (I'm not pushing the blame to the moderators) Because they can use a simply excuse that they moderators didn't do their job well in moderating the forum, allowing these seditious tendency to spread in the online community.
  
  But, there are NO moderators to moderate blogs. It is the bloggers that are responsible for their own blogs and all the statement that is publish in the blog. (Hacking is another issue, but think it this way, who would want to hack a personal blog? And we can do something about hacking, like make a police report? Although it is a civil case that won't affect their paycheck, they might want to take care of it because of the Gahmen's goal to make SG a cyber-hub)
  
  If we had the example of the two bloggers prosecuted for spreading racism and sowing the seeds of hatred between races, shouldn't there be another example be set up? Stating the fact that, our Wee Jr is trying to break up our society's cohesiveness by reaping the fruits of elitism and tearing up the peace and tranquility of this small society.
  
  Or maybe there are double standards avaliable and we are going through that now? (Quoted from "Singapore's Story", a documentary made by Discovery Channel. MM Lee's remark, "We go by double standards", I think{I'm not too sure myself} he was commenting about SIA.)
  
  So I think ObiterDicta's view might be better than some sarcasm from somebody.

  Sedition is a criminal offence, which can only be prosecuted by the State. There is currently no option for private prosecutions in Singapore.

  Why should WE pay tax?
  
  Since this worry is OUR'S, so WE must take care of these problems OURSELVES right? Then we could solve the problems better if we don't have to pay tax as we have the extra money, that was intended to pay tax, isn't it?
  
  So, when WE have a worry, is it WRONG to voice it out? (I had one reply which I quoted a story from Records of a Grand Historian somewhere in this forum. You can try to fish it out, I think it's in the "Free media not for Singapore" thread. It talks about forbidding the people to voice out)
  
  So, letmetalk, next time you encounter any problem in work or life, stand by your words. Don't look for any assistance as it is your problem and you are responsible for it, not others.

  Yea. Got a pt there, whats our tax for man.. Other then pump ppl's tax $ into Army and let soldiers throw granade (tax payers $). Since is our money mayb we can have a say in it.
  
  Gahmen is always like that, we voice out our concern, we are drown by their answer. Why bother about people who DL music or ppl who litter when such issue is being covered.

  Why are you stupid? Ask yourself these questions;
  
  1) Why do people donate to charities?
  2) What do the charities do with all those donations? Please ignore NKF.
  
  Now, tell me what compassion can do? And if you dare to repeat what you said in your post to your managers, I am very sure you will be next in line to be fired.

  
  
  Unfortunately, in today's world, "compassion" is fast becoming a word to coin when one feels guilty and in need of redemption for personal or spiritual gain. Singapore is clearly no exception.
  
  The fact is, our business-minded gahmen likes to rub the "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" tagline in their people's faces. Talk not of compassion to the gahmen for it will fall on deaf ears. They see things in dollars and cents - "compassion" is merely an antonym for "liability".
  
  Gahmen has hinted this to us by telling us to come up with "solutions" for problems we raise to them (something to this effect), and using terms like "no free lunch". Of course, this didn't go down too well with us folks. That's perfectly understandable. I've suddenly realised that in order to ask for what we want successfully, we Singaporeans must be able to come up with something attractive to offer back to the gahmen. A carrot. U give us this, we give u what u want.
  
  BUT, Singapore lacks the type of independent (and I mean independent) bodies with enough power and resources that might provide us citizens with enough leverage to be able to bargain, for lack of a better word, with the gahmen. We need a bridge, and I think this may be it. Government linked bodies are useless because they may end up striking a poor compromise in favour of party policies.
  
  We just need the foresight and courage to unite and push for a bit of change & leeway - something that I worry may not happen due to the ubiquitous I-want-change-but-don't-get-me-involved attitude.
  
  That's what makes us look stupid to the elites.
