Detained Singapore Straits Times journalist was a spy: China

stupidissmart SG

But you have to realise that Temasek Holdings does have a very comprehensive influence over her companies.

In black and white, temesek holding is only a company... our politics shouldn't be involved in it

Once you are caught for espionage or carrying out any activities a country defined as contravening national security, don't think there is much you can do and you can't trust any government, not the communist nor the american, not even singapore with its ISA, any human right standard or other moral standard. You can only hope that your own country is on your side to fight for a fair trial if not for release. Can you trust your own country? Is Ching a singaporean or a hongkonger?

Is this a case of espionage or free journalism?

Is he one of the "Straits Times intel officers"? sent to "shed blood to overthrow the communists"??? Mr. Green

Or was he making some extra for his retirement? (Latest news he was working for the taiwanese.)

Or was he just doing his job as a true journalist trying to unveil the secrets behind the iron curtain and crossed the boundaries?

don't think ST or Temasek Holdings would risk all their interests in china for one person.

Will he become a martyr of freedom or is he simply made a scapegoat, or was he set up?

The only thing we can do for Ching is to pray for him.

Just have to remember, when entering countries like indonesia, malaysia and singapore, don't bring in anything that is defined as drugs; when entering countries like america, don't walk around with a parcel or a luggage, which would be defined as possible explosive device; when entering communists countries like china and vietnam, know what could be defined as "sensitive or possible subsersive documents." I always make sure that I dump all the taiwanese newspaper even before I land in Hong Kong.

Had you considered the possibility that he may have been tortured into making a false confession Abu Ghraib style? Anything like that would not be allowed to happen in a country like say, Sweden, no matter what the circumstances are.

you talking about them or us? Twisted Evil

All. Cool

ANyway, note the timing of his detention. THe 16th anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre is looming, so the Commies obviously have some funny agenda up their sleeves.

I have no question about the possibility of him being abused or tortured into confession but I dont see anything any individual or even an international organisation can do unless his own country, the singapore or the hong kong government act.

with reports coming out on how the british and americans soldiers abuse the inmates in jail, i don't trust any human rights standards.

I do not know much about the scandinavian countries but generally I feel they are much isolated from migrants of different races and religion which would threaten their way of life (i may be wrong). I can only say I envy them but not all countries are prepared to adopt the same kind of standard, not to mention communists countries like china.

Behind the prosperous shanghai nanjing street there is still the ugly communists, behind the glorious manhattan in new york there remains many hypocrites. We takes what suit us and stay away from the evil.
