It is an individual opinon, he can said whatever he likes within
his individual environment, meaning he is saying for himself, so
the laws cannot go into a person who said, I earn 10k per month, or
that I am a gay, or that I got big dick. That is self declare.
The key is therefore the reporter, the newspaper and the editor
in question, and for these people, they are better protected than
others, the so called freedom of press, tho control in singapore,
is still very much a clause that protect them.
So, you must learn on how to deal media, what to talk and what
not to talk, if dunno, just said no comment, or that the process is
still going on, at the moment, not further comment. Because for
journalism, everywords is taken and record, and then twisted in
their flavour.
