Shamugam threatens to sue some facebooker

[wendychan]

of course now more people are going to serach and want to read the supposed lubellious article..
and if it gets out of hand, then can resort to suing, even tho as someone said "Singaporeans are sick of PAP ministers suing people"..............

nothing like scarring the shit out of most people ..............

 

[singham]

if i am the facebooker, if only hor..., if there is nothing to lose, go for it. :p

This is something i can't stand about pappies, a bit of thing, they want to go to court. their reputation worth more than anything else, more than people i see scavenging for carton boxes every night in the dustbins. Oops, i forgot, i am a proud pap supporter and i am speaking my mind, don't sue me hor...just in case.

Just Do It - By Nike.

As usual, that paper report http://www.theglobalmail.org/feature/out-of-the-haze-a-singapore-spring/646/ is all true.
And the response from PAP dogs here very much giving their fucking knee jerk response, which underline the truth in that paper report.

Time is running out for PAP
How much longer will smear of shit on sole of shoe remain alive?
LKY will be eating joss sticks and candle wax soon.
And we will see the implosion of that self serving PAP edifice of greed.

AND WE ALL WILL DO OUR YUM SENG TO BOTH

I see that people here have not connected the dots. Here they are.

(1) The Law Minister gives a call late night to someone he himself would later term "A FELLOW LAWYER", Mr Choo Zheing Xi Remy. Part of the phone call's intention was to get Choo to convey to his friends and associates that he would not hesitate to SUE anyone who reposts the SAID ARTICLE.

(2) Choo conveys the message to some fellows, including Miss Spuddings.

(3) Miss Spuddings, with Choo's agreement, decides to disclose what happened whilst not mentioning Choo, because she felt that a late night call to talk about sueing people is not how supposedly 1st world politicians are to behave.

(4) The Law Minister upon being queried by Miss Spudding's article, decided to close the loop. He tells the same story, but from quite a different angle. He even goes so far as to suggest a very friendly relationship with Choo, almost like a friendship.

(5) Netizens pounce on Miss Spuddings because now she appears to be the one giving misleading info. This includes someone by the name of Mr Calvin Cheng, the stepson of the cousin of the uncle of the father of the inventor of Calvin Klein underwear. Mr Cheng attacks Miss Spuddings for "posted a twisted truth in self-righteousness".

(6) Whilst Miss Spuddings is receiving the heat and choo rushes in to protect, his ID is now exposed. People now know Choo is the one who got the dreaded call.

(7) Politiciking complete. The Law Minister gets what he wants - netizens to take down the SAID ARTICLE, for fear of legal reprisals. And, to make things better, the people the heart of it - Choo and Miss Spuddings - are now busy having to defend themselves from PAP IB attacks.

(8) DO YOU GUYS NOW SEE HOW POLITICS WORKS IN SINGAPORE?

  I have been asked about Ms Kirsten Han's post at spuddings.net. Unfortunately the picture Ms Han has painted is quite untrue. To give her the benefit of doubt, she was not part of the conversation and may not therefore have had the full picture.
  
  I spoke with Remy Choo whom I know and whom I have engaged with. I discuss issues with Remy - I have met him in my office, have met him for dinner, and have had phone conversations with him on various topics. Yesterday, I spoke with Remy about an article that had appeared, and told him the facts. He told me that he himself had thought that the article was actionable and contained a lot of unverifiable allegations. I agreed and told him that the article was libellious - both of us as lawyers agreed on that point.
  
  We then went on to discuss a possible meeting between some of his friends and myself. This was part of my exercise to reach out to people and discuss issues. Remy said he will try and arrange such a meeting.
  
  Remy sent me an email today which pretty much confirms his views that the article is libellious, and saying that he would like to be an "honest and forthright dialogue partner" even if we disagree on issues where we disagree strongly.
  
  My conversation with Remy was like all our usual conversations, where we shared views frankly with each other. I am surprised to see that conversation appearing in print, twisted to give quite an untrue picture.

  Yesterday evening I received a call from Law Minister Mr K Shanmugam regarding an article written by Eric Ellis for The Global Mail, entitled “Out of the Haze, a Singapore Spring?”
  
  The call came rather late at night, but I guess lawyers (and Law Ministers) are rather nocturnal. Minister shared his views about the article, noting that he thought it was libellous. Minister also noted that it had been re-published. I agreed that there were many unverifiable facts in the article and that it appeared to me that the article was libellous.
  As the conversation concerned an article that was being re-published by my friends, I informed them of this conversation and the views of Minister. I had earlier in the day informed them of my opinion that the article was libellous under Singapore’s laws on defamation (and that as much as I disagreed with the scope of defamation laws, this was the law as I understood it).
  
  I want to clarify that all my communications with Minister have been cordial, open and frank and that my phone call with him relating to the Ellis article felt anything but sinister to me.
  
  I thank Kirsten for the concern she expressed towards me in her article “Midnight phone calls”.

  Calvin Cheng:
  It is my opinion that it is not Mr Choo who should be the target of any reprisals. Rather the person who posted a twisted truth in self-righteousness
  
  Remy Choo Zheng Xi:
  Calvin Cheng, please be fair to Kirsten Han, she was expressing her concern in the manner any friend would.

Those people who have a lot to hide isl the quickest to defend their so called honor....

"Phone call was placed last night, when the lights were out and the streets were dead. A high pitched voice at the other end intoned, if your friends or fellow bloggers reproduce the said article, I reserve my rights to sue them all! "


If it was LKY they would probably come in the night to arrest you for being a marxist, chinese chauvinist,... or whatever.

I doubt that such tactics would work in the internet age.

Eric Ellis has been the proverbial pain the ass for a while and is not unknown to the government. Davinder has tried to go after him a number of times.

Pop quiz for SBF forummers.

What is the connection of Eric Ellis to SBF?

(This is an easy question - no Google please).

Some people dressed in black, in a shaded black car, with no license plate will knock on or knock off your door, and haul you off in the bed clothes to a cul de sac...where you will meet someone in white, carry a hatchet...just to frighten you...you won't know the black white after that or even be a customer of the "black & white" business...

over one article, over one link, a million dollar minister call up....must be damn scared of "skeletons"..

 

[God Meng Seng]

So Shamu wants to consider our thoughts now? He is really seow! Sharing a link to an article is now defamation? If that's the case, Sinkapore's kangaroo court is worst than Zimbabwe's!

Damn the PAP!

you better delete your posting

this is contempt of court

Smear of shit on sole of shoe has enough to worry about.
LKY know he will be eating joss sticks and candle wax soon.
And in that world, he will not have his kangaroos and his poodles to defend him
LKY is a fucking coward and he will be meeting lots of people in that world.
LKY is fucking worried sick that he would be subjected to the same mercy as what he shown to others in this world.

WE ALL WILL DRINK TO LKY BEING BASTARDISED AND SODOMISED IN THAT WORLD
AND WE ALL WILL BE VERY VERY HAPPY
AND THAT LKY GANG OF SELF SERVING GREEDY BASTARDS IN PAP WILL BE IN A HELL OF THEIR MAKING SOON

A contemptible court deserves contempt of court.

My god, those Kirsten Han pics are scary. No wonder her blog is called spuddings. She looks like one!

 

[steffychun]

In the interest of Freedom of Speech, would Choo and K Shamu release a full transcript of their call and K Shamu explain why he must call at midnight?

BTW, what's his number? Why Choo so special to have it?

BTW, he was never named Remy in school. That's a cocked up name

And what makes you think they want to share this information with you? It's their own personal business.

The way i see it, Minister had intent or not, people on the net blew it up and kicked their own butt. Make of it what you want...
