Yes, I agree we should put them into a fair trial to prove their innocent.Originally posted by maurizio13:They deserve a fair trial to prove if they are innocent, instead of just saying that they are terrorist and put them under ISA arrest.
I don't think that is the point.Originally posted by ms_ok:Yes, I agree we should put them into a fair trial to prove their innocent.
However, the point is if they are proven to be guilty, should they be life sentensed or death sentensed ?
So what do you suggest?Originally posted by phil30k:I thought the Internal Security Act was a tool to control the domestic population from creating domestic unrest.
I am not condoning the act of the alledged terrorists, but if they are planning to create foreign unrest and not domestic unrest then it appears to me as an misuse of the ISA.
This sort of action by the Government may spur other suseptible minds to associate Singapore with the politics of the matter. That is not the message we should be encouraging. This type of association may direct efforts towards acts of terrorism against Singapore.
I think the Government should let it air itself out in Court to avoid the potential blowback.
What do you suggest then ?Originally posted by phil30k:I don't think that is the point.
The point is how do we handle it in a manner that we don't become guilty by association.
Agree. Under attenuating circumstances, the ISA can be used to seize dangerous individuals, but a follow-up court hearing will provide clarity on the incident, and hopefully dispel the fears that our govt abuses the ISA for political gains.Originally posted by maurizio13:They deserve a fair trial to prove if they are innocent, instead of just saying that they are terrorist and put them under ISA arrest.

go to poyan demolition range more shiok, make them stand infront of ADMOriginally posted by :They should be banished to Pulau Senang where the RSAF conducts live bombing exercises!![]()
New laws? what new laws?Originally posted by LazerLordz:It is true..the new laws can be used to charge Singaporeans with a crime if they wish to foment terror acts abroad, in foreign countries targeting foreign governments too.
While terrorism is a nasty thing, there is a fine line to be drawn. Will Singaporeans be charged for instigating a coup or engaging in paramilitary action abroad against dictatorial regimes or terrorist-supporting states?
(Purely theoretical question which might cause a bit of a conundrum)![]()
I understand you are asking what the punishment should be?Originally posted by happieman:you have missed the point.
the point is of these ppl have proven guilty in court, should they be life sentence/death sentence ? Not on ISA
TERRORISM (SUPPRESSION OF BOMBINGS) ACT 2007Originally posted by phil30k:New laws? what new laws?
In other countries, terrorist are put to trial to let the courts decide if they are truly guilty.Originally posted by ms_ok:Yes, I agree we should put them into a fair trial to prove their innocent.
However, the point is if they are proven to be guilty, should they be life sentensed or death sentensed ?
Originally posted by ms_ok:They should be sent to the gas chamber,specially built here.If Government dont want to build a new one,the terrorists will instead be deported to Auschwitz concentration camp.
Should the terrorists be released ? Or should they be life sentensed or death sentense for the safety of Singaporean?
Is very troubling of the tread of Self-redicalised Terrorist in Singapore !

Well, if we want to be "global" we have to live with all the things that it brings.Originally posted by phil30k:Dear Lazerlordz
One of the drawbacks of being a global city.
Protestors from other countries may travel to yours to riot.
