It is hard to find out the forummer's identity unless the admin agrees to so.

Cabinet Minister K. Shanmugam on Tuesday sent a lawyer's letter to well-known blogger Alex Au, asking him to remove from his website allegedly defamatory comments about the minister.

Mr Au did so by last night, saying he took the Foreign Affairs and Law Minister at his word.

In possibly the first legal action here by a politician against online media contributors, Mr Shanmugam's letter to Mr Au on Tuesday was headlined Defamatory Statements Published On yawningbread.wordpress.com .

The website is his blog address and the comments in question were made by Mr Au last Thursday when he criticised the mainstream media's treatment of opposition MP Yaw Shin Leong and his alleged extramarital affair.

Shanmugam so free ah? After teaching US how to fuck, now back in Singapore fuck bloggers fuck forummers ah?
Got attend MPS or not? Must remember! His job is to serve the people to prove his worth, not by suing people. :oIo:

It will be even more inetersting if the nick is his own name, the name of his wife or that of his ex-girlfriend.

Scroobal, you think they could already know who you are but just waiting for the right time to nail you? With your intimate knowledge of govt and pappies, surely they must have an inkling? Like the more you spill, the more clues you leave behind?
Or they are just afraid to haul you up because you will reveal much more to their regret...hahaha...
Anyway, keep it up, I think I speak for many to say that SBF would be much less interesting without you.

 

[hotbot]

if he is in opposition camp, do you think he will be so tempted to sue? he is not the only one, the last time, i saw my mat mp, he also said the same thing, ask me to sue. suka suka sue...
these pple in power always think they sure win like that, oh, i forgot, that is s'pore law hor...

looks like he won't be long in the cabinet, if there is nothing to hide, just clarify lor...very difficult to speak the truth meh?

 

[kingrant]

Does that mean that we can refer to it as long as we say "the alleged affair"?

Shamugam lawyer letter really scares the shit out of Dr Joseph Ong. TRE busy deleting comments abt shanmugam, and had asked readers not to comment about him any more. Dr Ong and other TRE members are really shitting in their pants right now, volunteering to do self-censorship, hoping not to receive Allen & Glenhill's letter.

tre has also advised ppl not to visit sammyboy and register an account here.

Golden Dragon,

I share your view here.

The intend is not about suing Scroobal. If that is so,there is no necessity to mention about not able to trace Scroobal and sue him in a lawyer letter to another person, Alex Au. He is just using Alex Au as the platform of PR measures to send warnings to others from repeating the allegations.

Of course, in that letter, as PR measures, didn't even mention what allegations it means...

Smart move. By remaining silent, doesn't look good for Shan. What's next? Take legal action. Coz he is innocent? Or coz the IDs of 'offenders' not traceable? Or, even if traceable, need not go further? Win-win. Damage control. No wonder he is Law minister.

It is hard to find out the forummer's identity unless the admin agrees to so.

I have no clue regarding anyone's identity either. Unless a member signs up with an identifiable email address, I'm none the wiser.

Those who post exposés invariably go through anonymiser gateways which means I don't even have a clue which country they're connecting from.

 

[Leongsam]

OK now who started this blog. It's full of vicious lies. Please own up like a man. I wouldn't have a clue it existed but because of all the furore, curiosity got the better of me and I started researching this debacle.

I also agree with GD.

You said you know me, so for years now, you still dare not take legal action against me for exposing your adultery. No legal action only mean one thing: you are guilty of adultery, and you dare not sue me becos you are afraid more skeletons will be dragged out from the closet, especially your Macau "holidays" Send my regards to your PRC mistress in hainan island.

You are really not worth the effort, not even the money on Bygone for insects like you.

Really? Was Macau worth effort? It is sure worth your effort to warn your relatives not to speak about your private affairs to outsiders

Advise not Advice..Baygon..not Bygone.

Suing for defamation not only depends on content, intent but also damage caused. If you call someone an insect, adulterer or whatever derogatory whether true or not, but nobody believes you, and that someone maintains his social and economic status and credibility, there's no point suing for defamation since there's no damage caused, however malicious your intent may be. I've attended GCT v. JBJ 1997 and George Carmen QC used that argument to reduce the damages claimed from S$2m to S$20k since PAP actually increased their popular votes to about 70% even when GCT as PAP leader was accusing JBJ of calculated political defamation. It could have been nothing if not for JLJ scoring about 45% in Cheng San GRC and an NCMP seat gained taken into consideration as unduly affected advantage.

 

[longbow]

Me think this is also shot across bow to get the people in senior civil service to tow the line. If you cull all of Scroobal's post, plot all the data point, dates, people mentioned you can likely determine the period and level that he was at. I think Scroobal is likely someone quite senior within the establishment. Then you compare the writing style .....

Scroobal very well knows this and perhaps he was working for the police or internal security establishment at one time and so likely have a few back up skeletons to throw out just in case they come knocking. Would not be surprised if he were some ex-police now happily retire in Australia/New Zealand. Good luck trying to trace him then.

杀一儆百

It is more than that which is supposedly to scare people in SBF and TRE not to fuck the PAP too often.

Tell Sham-arse to enjoy his obscene minister paychecks, perks and fat bonuses, while he can cos he may not be MP for this GRC anymore come GE2016 or PAP might be opposition party. Old fart will be dead soon and how can an incompetent Proxy Pinky PM ( say sorry 3 times) lead PAP and Singapore.

When Sham-arse is not MP anymore after 2016 this shit will haunt him back. If I were him 'act blur' is the best option. Try intimidate netizens will get more flames than ever.
