Both CNA and ST have chosen to distort my
message; I only apologized for what I wrote about Mr
Shanmugam and Tang Wee Sung affair, where Mr Shanmugam, then
Minister of Law, assisted me to criticize our then Attorney-Genera.
That was issued after judgement has been passed, and would still be
legal if the bill proposed by Mr Shanmugam is passed. At least that
is what Mr. Shanmugam assures me.
I stand by the rest of the post, that the bill is an attempt to
muzzle public discussion in any format, as long as
the judgement has not been settled and that could include personal
discussion between close friends even in private digital format. If
that does not lead to limiting freedom of speech, I wonder how much
more power the government would need to further limit freedom of
speech and freedom of thought, when under the current laws, they
don’t hesitate to muzzle the public media. How bad can it get if
this law is passed. I think it will be much worse than
now.
