LKY will just go tow the vessels after first warning, impound them for illegal trespassing. Sold as scrap metal. Personnel on board jailed 10yrs. Case close.

Want escalate, start mobilization, liberate JB & let its Sultan decide if to joint us as Jogapore or Singahore. Then we will develop JB as prosperous as SG at JB living cost, all happy one family. Make noise again, invite another state to join.

See now we know the important of NS service, no sweat no security no home to talk about. Count on FT?

I feel very shameful for the no-action from our talking-only government side.
If I park my car in your Parliament House, my car is immediately towed away and impounded.
I would write to the Malaysian partners to inform them that the deadline is 14 April. If the ships are still there, they will be boarded and arrested for trespassing. They can then cry baby at the World Court.

Why are we so "chicken"? All that money spent on military might is only for show during NDP?
Use it, otherwise the neighbours continue to bully us.

Bingjoe, you played to many video war games. Being quiet n patience does not mean Singapore's afraid. Having military might does not necessary means you can use it at the slightest provocation. Singapore is a Peace Nation. Grow up lah bingjoe.

If they parked their ships in South China Sea, they will be scrap metal now and that doctor will visit another doctor for treatment.

Even 2013 Little India riots also dare not arrest one, you say la.

500 armed police surrounding 300 violent drunkards burning police cars & ambulances, one Gurkha contingent with heavy arm, one squad of Special Police Force, one battalion of commando, 1.5M of NS men withbM16, all waiting for pinky & his sham give permission.

After 5hrs, he whispered, let them go free unhurt. So today these same indians still rioting in SG.

You think he dare give order to Navy?

Calm down. Don't let Singapore fire the first shots and sink their laopokai boats and then pay them US$1000000000 as compensation when they accused us of aggression. Don't be tricked by a laopokai. Calm down.

Vivian - you have already wasted so much of your precious times dealing with these Bodohs. There seems to be no headway at all. Each time these Bodohs and their 93 year old snake will ask for postponement or more time. It seems all avenues are exhausted. The only wayout now is to talk to them with our
F35 just like what their former Defend Minister Hishamuddin once said cannot settle go to war. Tell them we are ready.

Shanmugam warns 'serious consequences can follow’ when countries are lax about hate speech

Delivering a ministerial statement in Parliament on Monday (Apr 1), Mr Shanmugam stressed the importance of Singapore continuing to prohibit hate speech, dealing with it firmly “in the same way it has done before”.

A simple test is who like to be :-
(1) insulted
(2) ridiculed
(3) talk down
(4) initmidated
--- by hate speech whether online, or in person?

Thus if the reaction to these speeches online or in person will likely to be emotional --- it is better not to let hate speech to be proliferated online.

Discussion whether online or in person - should be based on logic, mutual respect and mature discussion --- not by harsh speech, hate speech --- that will not promote better outcome - but more divisive, unhappiness, disharmony and worst could result in violence --- if hate speech become rampant.

SPH-owned Hardwarezone forum section contains members who spew out hate-speech on a daily basis for the past decade or so.

The authorities do not seem to care.

But if you mention egg-throwing, suddenly they drop by your house.

Ysee the whole pont of hate speech is not because a group or individual dislike another group or individual but more on boosting their public image, thus giving themselves an inflated sense of superiority and satisfaction over another group or individual.

It has been existing in this country even before the independence of this country. Morals and social expectations are only tools of humiliation for these groups of people.

Education did not help to alleviate the impact, but only changes the way hate are being expressed and masking the rapidly growing hate.

It is only a matter of time that this country would collapse from internal strife rather than external invasion

I completely agree with Shanmugam. Racial discrimination is unconstitutional, and hate-speech is but only 1form of discrimination.
Depriving of a person from higher office - like preventing Tharman Sharmugaretnam from running as Prime Minister - is another.
Institutional discrimination if a person is unable to achieve the highest office on account of his race in that institution...a glass ceiling. It is a more subtle discrimination and may be legal.
