"If you receive something and in good faith you forward it, as most people do, you share, you like it - no problem. There is no criminal liability, there is no civil liability. At most, you will receive a correction," said K Shanmugam....
Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam has clarified that netizens
who unknowingly share fake news in good faith will not be jailed, as he
sat down with tech and lifestyle site Vulcan Post to respond to
netizens’ concerns on the recently passed Protection from Online
Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA).
The above are quoted from theindependent.sg
When I read the first paragraph I nodded my head in agreement and feel very assured. This is no fake news, Shanmugam is telling the truth this time. If not Leong Sze Hian would be charged in court for a criminal or civil offence. Shanmugam must have this in consideration and thus Leong Sze Hian was spared.
Leong being sued by Hsien Loong is a private, not criminal in nature. But was this not a civil suit under tort? Was it civil liability? Got difference or not?
The second paragraph is a bit disturbing. Sharing 'fake news in good faith will not be jailed' but could still be charge or sued? When the legal people said one thing, be careful if he does not say another thing. Will not be jailed can still imply that the person can still be sued and fined or given punishment. So it is no comfort to know that there is no criminal or civil liability or cannot be jailed.
It is better be kiasi and kiasu and kia cheng hu and don't pass fake news around. You cannot be too sure what Shanmugam said. There are many ways to read and interpret what he said though it sounds very assuring, just like fake news law is just that, not to be abused or anyhow use to hantam the people. Would the presence of such a law be good enough to frighten the people?
Think safety first.

Anyway the 70% are happy! Deserved it!
This is Sg! Hahaha.........
U mean when the law is enacted n entered into our law books..shanmugam comments gg to appear? At best he will be around 2 more terms then after that the implementation will be up to next law minister .. even if he remains as law minister forever..regardless of what he says in interview it is not the law n his practice is not institutionalized.. look..everyone..except the nodding heads in parliament knows it's a fucked up law n no amount of whitewash can remove the stain
ReplyDelete@ don't worry, be fakey
ReplyDeleteThere is plenty of fakery going on in the online world, which is
within the purview of the POFMA legislation
For e.g.: the spread of religious ideas---most with no basis in fact, and are complete bullshit which manipulate people, which is also within the pruview of POFMA.
Another example is the artificial “enhancement” of photographed females. Using “beauty filters” and photoshop-type editors, every female is equipped with the necessary tools to visually tweak their photos so that they increase their “fucakbility factor”, which is a trait---almost exclusively female---that history has shown is very easily monetized, because men are biologically wired to think through their cocks.
Again, the probability of men being manipulated (which is defined in POFMA) to part with their cash is well known, and requires no argument or further evidence.
POFMA is a dumb law.
Any citizenry anywhere suffers when there is lack of propriety in the Leadership.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Power defines the Law to suit itself without considerations for benevolence and virtue, the Society goes to the Dogs.
Sin, as the Word stands for, is amply apt for the Tiny Red Dot.
The Consequences shall be ugly.
Juz do not believe in what the wolf trying to say or explain to u in Poo..Ma lest kena foo ..l by them.
ReplyDeleteWhen in doubt juz don't post or comment anything at all in social media or other medium ( probably silenced s golden here).
Yes, when in doubt, just keep silent. Silence is golden. That's what the POO-MA aims to do. To silent you. Objective met.
ReplyDeleteAlways follow the advice of the sage:
ReplyDelete1. Never trust a ula (snake in Malay). Never trust a double-headed snake. The nature of the snake is to bite you.
2. Never trust a lawyer,.priest, politician, salesman and statistics - all these have the highest probability and propensity to tell lies.
3. Never trust anyone who has committed adultery (cheated his own wife and children).
Hahaha.....anon 1242 pm!
ReplyDeleteSo can trust who?
Only yourself?
Hahaha.....
Yes, you are right. Only trust yourself. And your parents.
ReplyDeletePreviously, many people said that you should also trust three professionals, i.e. your doctor, your lawyer and your priest or pastor but don't trust your banker.

ReplyDeleteGo carry Trump's balls some more lah.
ReplyDeleteSingapore now added to Trump's Currency Manipulation Watch List, side by side with China and some other countries.
Isn't that great news? Make Americunts Great Again. Hooray!
Trump is a Nazi in disguise. His father was a German Banker very close to Hitler. After the war, he disguised himself as a Swiss and migrated from Germany to USA.
ReplyDeleteTrump's financial supports for his businesses have largely come from a German Bank.
Hitler ganged up with Japan to launch World War 2.
Now Trump is ganging up with Japan to launch World War 3.
Pompous Pompeo has just hinted that the US will go to war with China in the near future.

UG I am Glad that u have taken note of 7.50pm an an comment and no more kakakakakakaka in your latest post. At least now u have a chance to get someone to sodomize u for free to cure your illness😀
ReplyDeleteThe Asian Power Index is A Big Bullshit!
ReplyDeleteHow can Singapore be more powerful than Pakistan and North Korea?
In every aspect, in terms of fighting capabilities, experience, and military leadership Singapore is no match. Singapore's generals can't even manage the flagship icon NOL successfully. Can't even solve the MRT problems.
One small nuclear bomb from Pakistan or North Korea is more than enough to obliterate Singapore from the map.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot Singapore has soft power?
ReplyDeleteThe girl fight did not turn out to be a fight. Trish Regan held back all her wild allegations that could not be substantiated and the fight did not take off.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out quite civil and friendly at the end.
