True, but criticism and defamation are not the same thing. Don't mix them up.

U are an idiot, truly. If you are a prominent banker in New York, and u publicly say on your FB that all Jews are smelly, trust me, u will get sued for defamation. Same thing if you say that all riders of the NY Transit are poor. The only difference is in New York, someone will put 2 rounds in your body before u even have a chance to get served with the lawsuit.

What's your point? We are not in NY, America does not set standards for the world and i hope they never will.

Wait simi lancheow? The minute Casey hired Poh and Lim lawyers to file a cease and desist order on TREemeritus, Shanmugam could have picked up the phone and call these lawyers and get the facts from them. when u are a 3rd tier lawyers like these 2 yobos, and u get a call from the Law Minister u will be peeing in your pants and will bring him up to speed very fast.

Filing a cease and desist order does not mean facts are established and why would the lawyers bring the minister up to speed? He is no part in that dispute...

What is the law for if have to depend on the community to condemn such acts? We don't need a law minister to know the insulting remark is deeply offensive and apology is insincere. And shut up don't tell Singaporeans how we should behave towards such insults when govt has no guts to prosecute foreigner under Sedition Act.

The fact that foreigners from Ang moh to Pinoys to Ah ney to Malaysians have been insulting Singaporeans in various ways in the last few years already showed clearly that foreigners are the problem and should be dealt with by the govt instead of turning around to lecture Sporeans on how to respond to such insults. Singaporeans are too kind and don't respond unkindly but look what is the result? Such incidents only keep repeating in various forms. I bet as soon as a foreigner is charged under Sedition Act, all these foreigners will immediate shut up on these insults!

Why don't he charge this fucker under the Sedition Act than? Talk cock make big noise, lets see some action Mr. Law Minister. Back your disgust with the fucker by arresting him. This is your chance not to look like one of the "wuss" that Casey mentioned in his rant. Make Sinkies happy for once and fuck this guy up. Once you arrest and charge him, even if not convicted, he will be persona non grata in the investment world.

By Kash Cheong

Law Minister K. Shanmugam said he was "terribly upset and offended" by Briton Anton Casey's comments which referred to public transport commuters in Singapore as "poor people". But he urged Singaporeans not to flame the Briton's family because "Singaporeans can be bigger than that".

Mr Casey's comments were "deeply offensive, wrong and unacceptable", he said in a Facebook post on Thursday. "Those who have done well in life should always be looking out for others - especially the less well-off or needy. It is basic human decency. Instead Mr Casey showed contempt. Having money and a Porsche does not automatically mean that one is superior. Character is important," he wrote. "I am glad the community has come together to condemn what he has said."

Mr Shanmugam also noted that some also felt Mr Casey's apology lacked sincerity, and "I think there is some basis for thinking that".

Two of Mr Casey's Facebook posts began circulating on the Internet on Monday, sparking fury among local netizens. In one, a picture of his five-year-old son on an MRT train was accompanied by the caption: "Daddy where is your car & who are all these poor people?"

The firm's managing director, Mr Christophe Audergon, was quoted as saying: "Crossinvest does not condone the comments. We believe they were made in poor taste."

On Tuesday, Mr Casey, 39, who is married to former Miss Singapore Universe Bernice Wong, apologised in a statement for having "offended and disrespected the people of Singapore".

"I wish for nothing more than to be forgiven for my poor judgment and given a second chance to rebuild the trust people have had in me as a resident of this wonderful country," said the permanent resident.

This came after two of his Facebook posts began circulating on the Internet. In one, a picture of his five-year-old son on an MRT train was accompanied by the caption: "Daddy where is your car & who are all these poor people?"

In the other post, his son is pictured in a silver Porsche with the comment: "...Normal service can resume, once I have washed the stench of public transport off me..."

A YouTube video of Mr Casey was later posted in what seemed like a taunting response to his detractors, but he said in his statement that this was a "misuse of an old video by unknown sources".

Mr Casey also said his family had suffered "extreme emotional and verbal abuse online" and had even received death threats.

Many readers of The Guardian's left comments on its site condemning Mr Casey's actions. "There are a number of these British prats in Singapore working in the financial sector. They think they are God's chosen few but in reality despised by the many. Remember Nick Leeson?" wrote reader ThaiPete.

One defended the cleanliness of Singapore's public transport.

Happy Valley wrote: "Singapore actually has the cleanest public transport system I have ever used. In fact Singapore is clean all round. I believe that it is the only country in the world that bans chewing gum. This guy is a total and utter git. Biting the hand that feeds him. He deserves to be kicked out."

In its report, The Telegraph quoted an unnamed male expatriate who supposedly knows Mr Casey and his family. The expatriate said that Mr Casey "has a very British sense of humour, which can be very scathing".

"It can cross lines and it did cross lines. I had to defriend him on Facebook because I couldn't stand the rubbish he was writing about all sorts of people. However, his wife and son were sweet," he was quoted as saying.

I'm still using an ancient phone, but the point about the latest mobile phones.

Phones depreciate in value quite fast, and the nature of 2-year telco contracts, in addition to the (ah beng) resale market, compels people to trade in their phones for a newer model. Consequently, more often than not people end up with the latest phones.

You brought up a very valid observation. If client willing to pay well, he can go to workshop that send a car to him and at the same time collect his car for repair / servicing, alll included in the package.

This whole response to the Anton Casey incident is exactly due to the PAP's lack of action towards other such insult incidents perpetrated by foreigners. People see that the PAP will not do much to punish FTs, in particular white FTs, and have taken matters into their own hands in the only way they know how. This is much like a lynch mob mentality now, and this asshole has gone into hiding because he claims he received death threats. If the PAP has a reputation of acting swfitly and harshly against such people, you will not see the same level of firestorm as you do now. People will be assured that the PAP will take the appropriate action, and will await the outcome. There is no clearer message than this incident and the Little India riots that show people here will not stand for this level of disrespect and entitlement from FTs. The PAP can't be so stupid as not to see that inaction will cost them votes in the next election.

Boss Sam, I agree with what you say about those people who cant control their spending etc. However I know of poor people who aspire and work towards a better living standard for their future,,however I think the more appropriate term to be used for those 'people' you are talking about are Trailer Park Trash..

And thanks to a fuck up welfare policy in oz and fuckwit bleeding heart liberal assholes and the Greens. Oz is getting from bad to worse. Just the other day, I met a volunteer for one of the charity organisations and he goes to visit people and arrange for them to receive white goods etc. He went to a repeat case, and this 'customer' was given a new bed few months back and now wants another. The reason was the bed was dirty and damage. When he went to assess the situation, the customer had a hole on the bed and use it as an ash tray. In addition there were beer cans and booze bottles all over the place.

These are the trailer park trash I detest,,,and in oz i find it true that the working class are poor as they get tax till no tomorrow,,and they cant exploit any loopholes cos there are none. but trailer park trash have heaps of loop holes to exploit in terms of welfare,,,



My advice was very basic to start of with and the reason for their financial strife was there for all to see.

My opening salvo was simple because all the families I was assigned to were drinkers, smokers or both. A couple played the pokies 3 to 4 times a week too. The first thing the were told to do was to cut down smoking to half a pack or less a day (10 sticks) and to stop drinking on weekdays and Sundays. Friday and Saturday they could let their hair down.

NOT a single family could follow this simple rule. The all blew more than 30% of what they earned every week on vices. They would then complain that the government was heartless because they didn't pay their electricity bills and their power was cut.

I put up with this crap for almost 2 years and gave up feeling deeply disappointed with the human race especially the poor.

It took the PAP government a week to react on this attack on sinkees?

Seagate Pinoy engineer who ridiculed sinkees on FB last year ...is still employed here with no consequences for his public attack on sinkees.

I wish there were Ah Bengs that will go after all these contemptuous foreigners.

why $M minister doing in facbook?

Every minutes of his time cost tax payers $2 and cho boh lan go Facebook for what?

Every minute of his time costs us at least $625, assuming he works 40 hours a week for 40 weeks in a year and his pay is $1 million. If you add in the pension and other benefits, his one minute costs us more like $1,000.

Time for Shanmugam to have some balls and deport this ang moh back to UK.

Wonder if Bernice will follow him back there since she loves white cock so much.
