Will Govt. charge Anton Casey under Sedition Act?

[winnipegjets]

All I will say is that this Casey's case was overreacted by "poor" locals. Fine, he made a statement that was in poor taste and judgement, but to react with death threats, mocking his wife and child is just primal and does not reflect the behavior of educated people in a "developed" country. I would have thought the people here would be more confident of themselves than be taken by a quick statement.

Cheers!

Overreaction? This guy insulted sinkees and you want sinkees to just take it lying down?
Sinkees are just fed up with foreigners coming here to our jobs, mock us, mock our way of life and destroy the progress we have made over the years.
I have no problem if sinkees take matters into their own hands to make life miserable for foreigners.
The majority of the 2.3 million foreigners are not worthy to be here.

removed duplicated post.

I don't normally call people names, I wasn't brought up like that.

If I am kind, I would have called him an English gentleman, but he doesn't come across as one or carry himself well enough. Thanks anyway.

Cheers!

more like white trash, you're too kind

Only a coward will pick on a little kid.

Don't worry. I don't intend to renew my E-pass. Will oblige your request.

Cheers!

You mean that spawn of Anton is a normal human kid?
He looked retarded and subhuman. Fucked up face as well.
Possibly looking like you which is why you so fucking defensive of that subhuman.

Who the fuck is worried about you?
A piano wire will fit your fucking neck very nicely

I didn't know Singaporeans were that easily insulted, must be a lot of pent up frustrations. The world is getting very very globalised, and people travel to work, visit friends and places very often now, not like during our parents time. As a global city, there will be plenty of travellers in Singapore at any one time. You won't be able to avoid it. I know most people will blame the gahmen for it, but it is not their doing, it is just the way things are now. No difference in KL, Jakarta, Manila, HK, Taipei, anywhere. Too bad for this Anton guy, for the silly thing he said, people are letting out their steam on him.

Cheers!

A British businessman has received death threats after calling Singapore commuters poor people on Facebook.
Wealth manager Anton Casey was forced to apologise for his remarks after a public backlash.

Mr Casey, who is married to former Miss Singapore Universe Bernice Wong, issued a statement through a PR firm.

He said: 'I deeply regret having offended and disrespected the people of Singapore. I have the highest respect and regard for Singapore and the good people of Singapore; this is my home.'
However, the highly-respected businessman is being vilified for some of his comments on Facebook which have surfaced on various Singaporean websites and forums.

One posting shows a photo of his son sitting on an MRT train, the Singaporean public transport train.


[h=4]Mr Casey said: 'Daddy where is your car and who are all these poor people?'[/h]
Another photo shows is son in his Porsche, Mr Casey said in the post: 'Ahhhhhhhhh reunited with my baby. Normal service can resume, once I have washed the stench of public transport off me...!'

He also calls a Singaporean male cabbie a 'retard' for wearing arm warmers and mittens and having a towel on his lap.

Mr Casey posted these updates on Facebook, which he later apologised for


He added: 'After 11 years of residency, I am still trying to understand THESE people!'

Mr Casey, who is believed to be staying in Sentosa Cove, said that due to a 'security breach' of his personal Facebook page and the misuse of an old video by unknown sources, his family, especially his five-year-old son, 'suffered extreme emotional and verbal abuse online'.

However, netizens who read the posts and video reacted negatively, with many calling the expatriate arrogant and urging him and his family to leave Singapore.

'It must be made extremely clear that a YouTube video of me, with my son in the background, was not posted in response to any recent events. This video was made weeks prior and has been misused to portray me as unrepentant.'

Mr Casey added that police investigations were ongoing into the matter, including a number of death threats that his family have received.

Mr Casey said: 'My son is an innocent party to this unfortunate and extremely stressful situation. I wish for nothing more than to be forgiven for my poor judgement and given a second chance to rebuild the trust people have had in me as a resident of this wonderful country.'

One male expatriate, who knows Mr Casey and his family, insisted that he has a very British sense of humour, which can be very scathing.

'However, 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.'

Foreign Trash

Just fuck off and go have a sub human dwarf like Anton.

 

[Agoraphobic]

Don't worry, I will leave when my work pass expires. I might also pray for you. If I become Christian.

Cheers!

Re: What kind of retarded lawyer did Anton Casey hire?

From business point of view, company should relocate him to HK for 2 years. Let the matter cool down. He can still service his clients in Singapore, just needs to travel more. I cannot see any benefits for him to stay in Singapore given all this publicity. Politically, there is already a lot of tension over FT, second class citizens. So best to skip town.

This whole HNW boutique thing is about polish, confidentiality, trust.

Also, no need for all this personal attacks.

Well, he was personal ...he attacked the whole country. He deserves to be broke. May all his clients flee and leave him jobless.

Casey used his son for the posting. What kind of parent is he, using his son to mock a country? He should be charged for endangering his son psychologically.

Let social services take his kid away for endangering his welfare.

Write to his company to demand Casey's firing ...

Here's the statement from his employer

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM CROSSINVEST ASIA



Dear The Real Singapore,

Our staff comes from diverse backgrounds and includes a number of Singaporean nationals, who provide wealth management services to a large base of individual clients, families and institutions.

Re: What kind of retarded lawyer did Anton Casey hire?

He is an idiot.

Singapore has huge pull in this business. Look at UBS (they bailed them out), MS, Goldman. GIC places out billions for investments. Politically it is hot potato.

No need for any phone calls. If his MD knows the business he would quietly tell this guy to work somewhere else for a few years and wait for things to cool down. HNW is all about discreet relationships.

Feel bad for his wife and son. What an idiot.

The emails to HQ would make greatest impact, I believe. Likely the Swiss bosses would freak out big time. Imagine a couple thousand emails flooding corporate mail

Once he loses his job, the wife might have to do some"servicing" of her own to support the family.

Most folks in the financial industry think that they are superior beings ...he is just a tad more stupid than them by making his contempt for others public.

 

[Papsmearer]

Well it's one thing dissing foreigners purportedly here to steal your jobs, and another entirely to heckle the 'poor' locals of your host country. This may not be the fairest of comparisons, but hey, nobody forced him to work in Singapore and make fun of Singaporeans, using of all mediums... his facebook. Bugger had it coming. All I can say is good riddance, hope Bernice Wong fucks off with him to the UK.

The more excuses he come up with, the more people will hate him. While he apologises, he also hires a lawyer to send a cease and desist to online websites reporting this incident. And come up with some awfully lame excuse that his youtube video slamming his detractors, were an old video. Seriously.

We have seen time and again the quality of the foreign workers the fucking PAP brings in, and Anton 'Gone' Casey is just another shining example of the working class english blokes they welcome in as senior managers, replacing our local managers so that we will have enough taxi drivers?

Lastly, all I can say is it's time to draw the line, someone should make a police report and report him for sedition. If the police so free to investigate death threats on Anton Casey, who bloody well deserves it, they jolly well can investigate him for sedition too. Or is there a different intepretation of the law for cases involving well-heeled foreigners, and another for cases involving the 'poor' locals?

Well said!!
