And then it says that "relevant persons" cannot carry partisan messages. Since singabloodypore is not registered, it isn't a "relevant" person". Thus outside the scope of the Act.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, regarding emails, if you refer to Straits Times 15 April, it carried a word-for-word reply by MICA minister Lee Boon Yang to the Straits Times' queries. One of the queries was <BR/><BR/>"Can .... individuals send mass e-mail/SMS with pictures or videos of election rallies?"<BR/><BR/>The minister's reply was:<BR/><BR/>"As for individual SMSes and e-mails, we consider these as private communication and they will remain the private domain of individuals. I agree that some people may hide behind this facade of private communication and use e-mails, or a chain-mail system to conduct election advertising. But they should bear in mind that other laws also apply to e-mail <BR/>communication. These include libel. One should not hastily dash off e-mails in the heat of the moment and live to regret a rash act later. So think first, and then write knowing fully the consequences of such comments."<BR/><BR/>This means, be careful, don't accuse people of corruption or wrongdoing without evidence ("libel"), don't stir up racial and religious hatred (Sedition Act)... otherwise go ahead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1145643344833861772006-04-22T02:15:00.000+08:002006-04-22T02:15:00.000+08:00You mean even if it carries partisan stuff, it is ...You mean even if it carries partisan stuff, it is not breaking the law if one were to read or listen or send within this website?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1145637673642047132006-04-22T00:41:00.000+08:002006-04-22T00:41:00.000+08:00"even emailing you the rally speeches will get our..."even emailing you the rally speeches will get ourselves into danger in S'pore."<BR/><BR/>Please, please, don't frighten yourselves. This is not true. The law says, and Balaji did mention in Parliament, that only websites that have been required by MDA to register, come under the Parliamentary Elections Act (PEA), which forbids partisan content. <BR/><BR/>I don't think Singaporebloodypore has been required to register, and soci has said he will not even if asked to. Therefore this website CAN CARRY partisan stuff, such as videos of election rallies.<BR/><BR/>The government has also said that email is considered private communication. It is outside the scope of the PEA. So if you send a video to this webmaster, you are NOT breaking the law, since the law doesn't apply to email.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1145635335897861982006-04-22T00:02:00.000+08:002006-04-22T00:02:00.000+08:00hello, old man and son not in the good mood - it w...hello, old man and son not in the good mood - it was reported they demanded for apologies from chinese agencies tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1145632989373292542006-04-21T23:23:00.000+08:002006-04-21T23:23:00.000+08:00I'm sure there is this somewhat underlying sense o...I'm sure there is this somewhat underlying sense of fear and irrational paranoia by many Internet users which motivates their use of completely anonymous identities. I hold no blame against them and is in part caused by the atmosphere the PAP have built up so well over the decades. But I do believe a significant proportion of that fear is purely just paranoia. <BR/><BR/>Unless I see evidence, the notion of the govt having a supercomputer scanning every citizen's email remains a conspiracy theory. Even if it existed, how feasible is it to track every email AND follow up on it? A more probable scenario is if you have already caused a significant 'stir' amongst the public and under investigation. At the very <B>worst</B>, you may be persecuted as Martyn See has been, but not prosecuted. I doubt the legal credibility of email evidence in the court of law. <BR/><BR/>We tend to overstate our actions on the Internet as sticking out like a sore thumb to the PAP. In reality, we may find that our fear will cause a greater hinderance to our own progress towards free speech than the PAP ever could. So let us not blog with our tin-foil hats on...Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700080080606453374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1145631432559392032006-04-21T22:57:00.000+08:002006-04-21T22:57:00.000+08:00few videos:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQHi5449...few videos:<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQHi5449JwM<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OZ4ttK5enkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1145630928967551462006-04-21T22:48:00.000+08:002006-04-21T22:48:00.000+08:00who was that said that singaporeans are not afraid...who was that said that singaporeans are not afraid?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
