(1) Imagine someone make a post in social media - coaxing people to pelt someone with eggs when he appear in a scheduled event.

(2) 100 people responded by turning up with eggs - to make good the "joke".

(3) The person could be anyone of us.

(4) Do you think this person under threat is justified to report a case to the police - as his safety is under threat?

Advice given by criminal lawyers :-

Threats of bodily harm and physical violence can land one in hot soup, so watch what you say or type over the internet.

Pursuant to section 503 of the Penal Code, whoever threatens to either inflict injury to another person or damage his property with an intention to cause alarm to the victim, or to compel the victim to do something (or not do something), commits the offence of criminal intimidation.

Pursuant to section 506 of the Penal Code, criminal intimidation (involving threats of physical violence) is punishable with a jail term of up to 2 years, or a fine, or both.

Stop 'imagining' cases Ricky. Talk after it has happened. I'm sure you can remember many scenarios where your pimp garmen only took action after someone died lol. Want a recent example? Marine Parade roundabout? Why you never use your wonderful imagination earlier for the roundabout?

(1) As Singaporeans, being a law abiding citizens - can we condone the threat of unlawful and disorderly behavior?

(2) As parents, and role model for our children - do we justify unlawful, disorderly and violent behavior by agreeing to incite bodily intimidation to hurt someone? Then we will be a poor role model for our children.

Since when Singaporeans has disintegrated to such state whereby we don't know what is right and what is wrong?

We should be shameful of ourselves - if we justify unlawful behavior as right behavior in Singapore society - in which we so proudly upheld as lawful, orderly, safe and good place to live in.

For those who still insist and unashamely justify such actions as correct behavior --- the majority of Singaporeans should rebuke them and if they turn it into action - should not hesitate to report them to the police.


Else gangsterism and hooliganism of 1960s will come back to haunt us.
Mr Lee Kuan Yew clamp down gangsterism and hooliganism with an "iron fist" - and make Singapore a safe and ordely place to live in. 
We must not let social media disrupt our orderly social fabric - and let it degenerate into "herd gangsterism".

Singapore has no place for intimidation, hooliganism, gangsterism, violence and unlawful disorderly behavior.

Since the time when ppl sent death threats to pj thum, kirsten han, jolovan wham after shanmugam shared seah kian peng's assertion that pj thum wants dr m to bring democracy to singapore

Yes, we should be ashamed that ppl would make police report about wanting to throw eggs (which was a figure of speech btw, and not literal) but when more serious things like death threats.....nothing done.

(1) If a death threat is made - did those people make a police report?
If yes, I am sure police will investigate.

(2) But when this people collaborate with foreigners in an attempt to destablise our Country and harm our National interest - should they also be investigated for treason?

Look at what Mahathir has done to Singapore now.
Are you one of them who are championing their cause to harm Singapore?
This will be a more serious case - compare to "egg throwing".


Under the Sedition Act (Singapore)

(a) to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against the Government;
(b) to excite the citizens of Singapore or the residents in Singapore to attempt to procure in Singapore, the alteration, otherwise than by lawful means, of any matter as by law established;
(c) to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against the administration of justice in Singapore;
(d) to raise discontent or disaffection amongst the citizens of Singapore or the residents in Singapore;

If you don't then like you said, you should be ashamed of yourself. I can provide u with the screenshots of the death threats for you to make the police report. PM me on FB for it

(2) Where's your proof that pj thum and others collaborated with foreigners in an attempt to destablise our Country and harm our National interest?? Your're just asserting like seah kian peng right?? SHould u and seah kian peng be investigated for defamation also??

“take leadership in South-east Asia for the promotion of democracy" = collaborated with foreigners in an attempt to destablise singapore? Unless u tell me u were a fly on the wall when pj thum met dr m and heard specifically that pj thum invited dr m to bring democracy to singapore, anything else is just conjecture and assumption.

But Why send it to me - I am not interested in this group and their cause.
If you are so concern about them - you should take this up. 
The Police will also be interested in your identity as well.

(2) why are your say group of friends did not come back to Singapore to de-proof Mr Seah's claim or sue for defamation? Why are they hiding?
The content written by this group infringe Singapore Sovereignty and Constitution as an Independent Nation - calling Singapore is still a part of Malaysia.
This will have infringe the Sedition Act (Singapore).

Ah just recall that jolovan wham - has been slapped with 7 charges for Contempt of Courts, vandalism and other charges.

Dun hesitate to report them for infringing the Sedition Act as well if u have proof. And btw, only pj thum wrote that, and not the others, why lump them all together??

Ooh, i can play this game as well. PM Lee did not sue LHY and States Times Review's Alex tan for their allegations; what is PM Lee hiding??

Is treason among the charges that wham is facing? what does false credential have to do with infringing sedition act or collusion or whatever other baseless charges u want to put on thum? the authority are looking thum?? for what?? what did you get that from??

It's rich of you to demand my identity when you do not provide much as well on your fb bio. PLs report thum and others to the police if you really think they infringed sedition act. The police will also be interested in your identity as well.

“Singapore is part of Malaya la”.

This infringe Singapore Sedition Act - that Singapore is an independent Sovereign Nation and Constitution as Republic of Singapore.

(2) Singaporean exile Tan Wah Piow, historian Thum Ping-tjin and activists Jolovan Wham, Sonny Liew and Kirsten Han - met Mahathir and invite Dr M to bring democracy to Singapore, and suggest that Singapore is part of Malaya.

This are activities infringing the Singapore Sedition Act.

(3) As you have the screenshots of the "death threat" on this group of people and seems to be their sympathiser, I will need your identity - so that when investigation is made about their "suspected Sedition activities", you can provide evidence of the "death threat" that are made to them.

(4) Submitting false credential for a public hearing is an offence under the Penal Code. I don't have the information about what false credential PJ Thum has submitted except reading through the press - I leave it to the Authority to take it up.

Pls, i'm not their friend and i dunno where they live, except i know sonny liew has a studio at Goodman Arts Centre, and wham you can find him outside court for sure if u keep going there.

OK, now i will wait and see if you will make police report, i already give u as much as i know, dun make any excuses ah, or you should be ashamed of yourself. You make police report first then tell me can or cannot report a case about "death threat" when the root cause is due to "Seditious Activity" You make police report first then i'll gladly cooperate with the police.

You say that no justice is done to them - specifically "nothing done".

I say you should make a police report - as you have the screen shots. But you "chicken out". You want me to do so on your behalf.

Why you want me to make a police report on their "death threat" - when :-
(1) I don't have any evidence of their "death threat"?
(2) I don't agree with their cause - in harming Singapore's Sovereignty.

If you make the police report first and show me the link with photo of the police report with the police report number -- I will be willing to follow up with a police report on their "Seditious Activity" --- which is widely reported.

Ricky Lim I've already clarified in my above post that the nothing done i'm referring to is people who read or know about the death threats but did nothing. I did not say no justice is done to them. Dun twist words like seah kian peng lah

Again, you are the one who first said people should not hesitate to report to the police if there are unlawful behaviour not me. i only said it is shameful that among the things ppl would see fit to a make a police report about, they would choose a less serious thing over a more serious thing. Then i only ask you to make a police report to see if you would practise what you preach, but evidently you don't. so who is the one chickening out? even if u take it that i'm chickening out, but if you practise what you preach, you should still make a police report about the death threats, no? I already told u can google for the evidence yourself, or i can provide it to you. Really, i would love to post a link but cna would delete it. That is why i'm asking you to pm me, or if you have other channel u want me to give you the evidence, tell me about it.

Making a police report against the death threat does not mean you support pj thum and others' cause, it means you are against making death threats. If you believe Singapore has no place for intimidation and that social media should not be allowed to disrupt our orderly social fabric - and let it degenerate into "herd gangsterism". Then by making police report against death threats, you're supporting that and not pj thum and others' cause.

Again if you dont make a police report, i can only say that you dont practise what you preach, and are not serious about making sure Singapore has no place for intimidation. If you really dun agree with pj thum and others' cause, then you should really make a report about them infringing sedition act, regardless of whether a police report against death threats is made first. That's the best way to disagree with their cause

(1) You need a plantiff and a defendent in the Court of Law.


(2) The plantiff did not make a police report of the death threat or not even around - but you make a statement that "nothing is done".
So unless you represent them as their representative of a plantiff - no charges can be made.
Don't make me their representative - as I am not on their side --- but you are the one that raise it.
If you make a police report - I will certainly follow up with another police report.

(3) My Police report will be file against you and attach with supporting documets :-
- all the screenshots of the post here. (include your innuendos make against justice)
- the statement you make about egg throwing - seemingly supporting egg throwing as lawful - and as part of democratic process - when clearly it is against the law.
- the screen shots of PJ Thum and Teo Soh Lung - facebook statement which are on the surface deem "seditious" - as it infringe Singapore Sovereignty and Constitution..
These screenshots are the root cause of your "alleged death threat" === so that a file can be open for proper investigation.

That is why I need your identity.

No need to argue and talk further.

You either provide me the police statement number you make on their behalf regarding the "death threat" and you give me your full name --- I will guarantee a police report will be made.

If you do neither --- I will not respond to you further.

But I will keep all these screenshots in case future actions are required.

Ricky Lim Look you call yourself a civic minded citizen. Personally I think Traitor Thum is a traitor but since you believe that just merely thinking of pelting Shanmugam with eggs is criminal behaviour, I am sure that you will report death threats even if they are made against traitors.

Plantiffs, defendants and what not, small matter. Just make a police report. Don't complicate things. Show that you are against death threats in general.

You should consult a lawyer - whether can a person be a plantiff and at the same time a defendant in the Court of Law. (That is, in layman - can Person A file a charge to sue himself as representative of Person B)

(1) If one person is going to file a case against another person - can this person defend the person in which he is filing the case against?
From legal standpoint - this is absurdity and the case will be void.

(2) To me, I view any persons making "seditious statement" that infringe the Sovereignty of our Country, our Constitution and our Right of Existence as p
aramount to be pursue as my 1st priority - and no other interest will supersede this.

(3) You can file a case to investigate "death threat" as representative of this group of people (in their absence).
Making a "death threat" is a crime - and I am personally against it.

And by doing (2) will have put (3) right - the "death threat" that you are concerned about.

All you need to do is send me your police statement number that you file against the death threat as their representative and your identity --- I will follow up with another police report.

2. I didn't like how he, together with Bilahari and Ong Keng Yong, the architects of that disastrous foreign policy stance against China, refused to admit they were wrong and bullied Kishore Mahbubani over it.

What happen by throwing an egg suddenly cause injuries to the minister or people around. That is sharp splinters of egg hitting/ entering the eyes or surrounding people.
The cynical netizens rebuttal n comments shows lack in etiqqutte, maturity n value in own mind. If we disagree on any issues do bring up concrete feedback appropriately not to diasgree n acting physically like hooligans.
