James Gomez arrested !!!!

BillyBong SG

Why wait till after the elections to raise an issue? If there was sufficient evidence (evidently there wasn't, just a load of snippets and speculations), wouldn't it be prudent to pursue the matter immediately?

Like PM LHL stated: whether election or not, if someone has made defamatory remarks, i have to sue.

If you wait, the case becomes weaker.

So now the question begs: is this case from the elections dept unilateral? Or coerced by members within the cabinet?

This entire episode stinks of sour grapes. MM Lee is utterly despicable to claim that when he calls a person a liar and does not get sued, then something is wrong.

In the first place, you do NOT go around name-calling. You have an issue, you press charges, not use the media to initiate a hate campaign against one individual. Blatantly slandering a person like that is classic gangsterism, EXACTLY the type he himself pledged to STAMP OUT.

He thinks he has the right to influence the decisions around him by banging the tables? Pot calling the kettle black.

It's time for him to step down. We do not respect high-handed abuse of his political standing. So what if he has made SG what it is today?

His attitude and belligerence bellies an arrogance and blatant disregard for the law.

He has lost my complete respect.

It's ED vs James Gomez.

Honestly, James Gomez should be more tactful with his speech and his manner of tone when he was addressing the ED.

He could have said, "I believe I had submitted the form but will you check again because it is an important issue and it may complicate certain issues. I appreciate your help."

And he could have done so with a smile.

I don't think ED could have easily got him fixed up if he smiled.

Of course, the conversation between the two party were unknown and his facial expression might have gotten him into big problem.

If the legal system finds JG guilty and places a harsh sentence on him, I believed that I would find it hard to accept.

Afterall, he apologized. It was not a mistake that is unrepairable. It is not like JG made detestable remarks about how the country was being run. It is not like JG made horrible speeches aimed at ED and the ruling party.

If ED had solid proof to testify JG was abusive and intimidating, I believe apologies are not sufficient, but if he was not, a light sentence would acceptable if he was found to have erred and no sentences should there be insufficient evidence.

Although I find his 'forgetfulness' unacceptable, I believe he should be given the right to walk scot free since I did not find his actions in the footages offensive. I doubt I would vote in his favour though in future elections though.

kilua SG

what is solid proof? The video?

Nelstar SG

"IF"

Does that word ring any tone?

Or do you want me to show you what "if" stands for in the dictionary?

Laughing

kilua SG

Nelstar SG

If i knew they had, I won't put "if"!

All minority candidates need to apply the cert, just incase last minute changes, so Gomez applied one to standby, there is nothing wrong, dont tell me he wants to fix the election department, the PM also said he wants to fix the opposition if 10 to 15 of them are voted into parliement

this is really a sad day for singapore politics, we’ve just become north korea.

Nelstar SG

North Korea does not even have opposition. The comparison is slightly unfound.

quotes SG

In this case, maybe the police should detain G. Yeo and Mah BT. Cuz Yeo said said that with 4 candidates still can contest 5 cand. wards but in fact it is not constitational. Is he trying to mislead the public by lying or is it an honest mistake? Mah said that Edmund Lim can be subcontractor of HDB, but when Lim goes to HDB to request information and be the sub-contractor Mah asked HDB not to give him. So is Mah lying or is it honest mistake?

Can the police detain Mah and Yeo for lying to the nation? For those to accuse JG of crime, please explain Wink

Nelstar SG

You better get I.P spoofed to post such posts.

Can be dangerous..

Laughing

countdracula SG

they do, just that they are quickly silenced....perhaps for your sake, then i'll compare this to mugabe's regime...

LazerLordz SG

Zimbabwe needs regime change, someone should remove Mugabe from power.

Nelstar SG

Question is who? (pun intended)

No problem finding people, just give them the tools to fight the good fight.He's a tyrant and tyrants have to be neutered. Twisted Evil

Very Funny leh...Every election or erection in singapore...surely there will be someone from the opposition kena sue or under investigation. I never heard of these happening elsewhere in other countries. On...man lky

What tools? 5.56?

or the ultimate weapon: OIL? Smile Smile

CLAP CLAP CLAP...!!!!

Yeah man! A leader must first subject himself to the toughest standards before he can expect his men to follow with a lower standard but within the standard's range. That's what makes a 'Leader'.

Since JG is being summoned for this case, to be fair, Mah BT must be summoned to explain why he roti prata with his words. Otherwise, no one will respect him in future. I think after that HDB incident during election days, I believe Mah BT has lost much credit with his words. What if the SDA member could really carry out the building of HDB flats in good quality and lower cost?! Wouldn't Mah deprive Singaporeans of this previledge?! Even if he cannot, it is good to be transparent to the public on the breakdown of our costs for our HDB falts, quality of material, sub contractor's names etc etc.
