WP slams exemption of Govt from being sued for falsehoods under enhanced anti-harassment laws
Senior Minister of State for Law Edwin Tong argues that government
officers can be held accountable in the usual forums, such as
Parliament. He was responding to criticism that the Government is exempt
from harassment protection laws.
Today online
It was reported that the Workers Party slammed the govt for exempting
itself from the protection of fake news law. Is this normal, reasonable
and the right thing to do? The govt is giving itself almost absolute
power to sue and prosecute the people for making fake news and falsehood
but exempting itself from being sued by the people. Where is the equity
and fairness of this law?
In principle the law must cut both ways. Why give the govt the power to
persecute but not to be persecuted, does this mean that the govt can
make fake news and falsehood with immunity? Obviously not, and obviously
no one would expect the govt to be spreading fake news and falsehood.
So why the need to protect itself from being sued by the people with
this exemption? The people in the govt are also human beans, not gods,
and would commit the same carnal sins like every human beans,
intentionally or otherwise.
Come on, the govt would not and cannot be expected to go so low to be
spreading fake news and falsehood right? So, why not put itself on the
chopping as well should it be found guilty of the same crime? Civil
servants cannot be above the law and if they committed crimes by making
fake news and falsehood they must also be sued or charged. No one is
above the law.
The WP has a point in slamming the govt on this. The law is for everyone, people, civil servant or the govt. A crime is a crime.
HDB prices can only go up. True or fake news or manipulation?
CPF is not your money. True or fake news or manipulation? This remark
was uttered in Parliament and greeted with approval by the applause and
cheers from the MPs and ministers.
What do you think?

Official fake news - American myths and white lies they concocted and believed in
WASHINGTON—Current and former leading
lawmakers joined national security experts and freedom fighters on the
afternoon of April 9 for the first of a series of roundtable discussions
aimed at raising awareness about the magnitude of the Chinese Communist
Party’s multifaceted and intensifying effort to supplant the United States as the world’s dominant power and to discuss steps for countering it. This newly launched
“Committee on the Present Danger: China” (CPDC) met against the
backdrop of ongoing bilateral trade negotiations and rising concern—both
in this country and the Western Pacific more generally—about Communist
China’s economic warfare, military build-up and ever-more-aggressive
behavior....
U.S. Air Force veteran and Utah Congressman Chris Stewart, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, stated that China’s “intention is to dominate the United States and every other Western democracy,” that “they are moving methodically towards that goal,” and that “from the intelligence perspective there is nothing that I worry about more.”
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich described three ominous strategic victories Communist China has already secured: Its seizure of and effective control over the South China Sea; its empire-building inroads in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe; and its possibly irreversible ascendancy in the global 5G wireless market. He warned that we are “watching a revolution in strategic economic capabilities and a revolution in geographic location of power and all of it is being done while we sleepwalk.” He said, “This is going to be a long-term struggle between a civilization that believes in liberty and a civilization that believes in authoritarianism with Chinese characteristics.”....

The above are the myths and lies that the Americans constructed themselves and madly believing in them and living in fear of them, real or imaginary. They see China like their own shadow, the shadow of the American Empire, dominating and controlling the rest of the world by their military presence in military bases all over the world, their mighty 11 aircraft carriers and huge nuclear arsenals used to threaten the rest of the world into obeyance. They have been doing this for the last few decades and can only see China as their mirror image, to be just like them when in reality China is far from it as a military power and bully with military bases all over the world to threaten and bully other states.
And they also used these myths and white lies to frighten the rest of the world of a China they fabricated and wanted the rest of the world to fear.
If only China is a little more like the Americans, would those silly little countries in Asia and the European powers dare to openly oppose and challenge China, even grabbing Chinese lands and islands as their own? If China is a shadow of the Evil American Empire, would the little European powers like England, France or even stupid little countries like Canada and Australia, or India, dare to sail their obsolete warships into the South China Sea in a comical show of force? China would simply sink them or drag them to Hainan or Shanghai and demand a ransom for their release like the Philippines used to do, or blow them up like the Indonesians did.
The truth, China's reclaiming and rebuilding of South China Sea islands were just doing the right thing as the islands were Chinese territories recognised by the US and UK and returned to China after the defeat of the Japanese Invasion. The sneaky Americans and the UK just simply pretended not to know about the agreements in Potsdam and Cairo.
The building of roads and railways to Africa and Europe is about building empire? Are these military bases, are these owned by China or the respective nations and used for trade?
And China's superior 5G technology is about dominance and control and empire building, but Google, facebook, twitter, GPS etc etc are not? China or any other country is not allowed to have advanced and superior technology than the Americans?
The Americans are very good at erecting their own strawmen and to fear the same strawmen they built and called them threats to their national security and their dominance as the unchallenged and only super power. The truth is that they would not want any country to challenge their undisputed world hegemony and Evil Empire, when they can call the shot and bully any country as they pleased. They see the Chinese threat because China is not going to let them bully for a day longer and would protect smaller countries from American bullying. That is what they really fear, no longer calling the shot, no longer able to bully other countries.
Who is going to call the fake news generated by the American govt as fake news, manipulation of people's thought as falsehood?

US Lies About China's Good Governance In Xinjiang
"White men speak with fork tongues and can never be trusted." Quote from native indigenous Americans. The native Americans said how can white men claim they discovered America when the native Americans have been living there for thousands of years. White men came uninvited and invaded America by force with military might of firearms.
The white Americans of the Evil Empire and the West like to preach to third world non-white countries about Human Rights and Democracy in which they are the most unqualified to do so. They have perpetually committed the worst travesty on human rights and democracy. In fact they have always been using human rights and democracy as tools for domination of other countries.
The United States had trained many militant muslim Uyghurs terrorists in carrying out subversive activities in Xinjiang for many years These misguided Uyghur militants had for many years through their clandestine activities caused the death of hundreds of Chinese nationals both Han and Uyghurs. Now the Chinese government has started an educational and vocational programme to guide the militant Uyghurs on the right path to live and work as normal citizens of the Chinese state. However this good and positive governance of the Chinese government is being smeared and distorted by the Evil Empire with grave insidious motives.
Recently the US Assistant Secretary of Defence , Randall G. Schriver with evil intent labelled the education and vocational training centres in Xinjiang as "Concentration Camps." This is trying to distort the good work that China is undertaking to alleviate and uplift the life of the Uyghurs of Xinjiang. US ulterior motive in making such evil distorted statement is to incite the militant Uyghurs to create distability, choas, riots and trouble in Xinjiang so as to foment militant muslim Uyghur uprising to undermine China's development. In short it is part of the overall US evil policies to contain China's peaceful development.
May be China can learn from the Evil Empire how it solved the indigenous native American issue. The whole wide world now knows how the illegal white American invaders from Europe mercilessly and brutally liquidated the native Americans through genocide. No, China is too civilize to follow such drastic inhuman demonic white men's way to solve ethnic problems.
In the last two hundred fifty years the illegal and illegitimate United States of the white European invaders had killed and genocided over eighty-five million native Americans or over ninety-five percent of the native population. The surviving five percent of less than a hundred thousand natives have since then been put in so-called native reservations, US euphemism for concentration camps. In the concentration camps the natives are subjected to hard labour with either little or no pay. They are given very littlle food of the non-nourishing type and very little water. Further the native women folks are subjected to force sterlisation to stop them from procreating. Native children from the age of one year old onward to about twelve or fifteen years old are taken away from their parents and put in special dilapidated centres where the children are treated shabily and deprived of the love of family and parental care.
Further the white European invaders subjected the natives to deculturalisation. The native Americans have very rich culture and rituals in honour of ancestors, wild life and nature and cultural dances festivals to celebrate the planting or harvesting seasons or weddings. But they are forbidden by the white invaders to practise or carry out their native cultural activities.
The Uyghurs in the Chinese province of Xinjiang are not even natives but Turkish stock immigrants from Turkey who were allowed by the benevolent Tang Dynasty emperors to settle in Xinjiang over one thousand five hundred years ago around 618AD to 907 AD. At that time there was great political upheaval in Turkey due to constant warfare with the European crusaders and many Turks went to western China, Xinjiang to seek a safer and better life. However many Uyghurs due to misguided extreme militant islamic religious influence became ungrateful and turned against the Chinese state, the hands that feed them.
However the forever evil white supremacist United States want to exploit the muslim Uyghur militants to stir up trouble and turmoil in Xinjiang as part of its overall evil plan to contain China. The Evil Empire has been creating, supporting and nourishing so many muslim terrorist groups or organisations viz Al Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS and others to fight its proxy wars against Russia, China and countries adverse to US dictatorship and hegemony. In fact the United States itself is a terrorist state and its terrorist acts and activities are unsurpassed in terror and cruelties. US massive scale mass bombings of many small countries like Nicaragua, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen resulting in brutal carnage of killings of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives and maiming further thousands more as well as causing wanton destruction of properties is US great travesty of human rights. The ultimate objective of US state terrorism is to bring the world to heel under US total control and hegemony.
As China like Russia strongly objects to US state terrorism and armed expansion it faces the wrath of the Evil Empire for being a stumbling block to US world domination.
Its time Russia and China together with like minded peace loving countries like North Korea, Cuba, Iran , Venezuela and others should organize a world movement to condemn and stop the Evil Empire's terrorism and imperialism.

Invasion of Iran - Dangerous white lie
According to a Reuter report, the Americans have sent a carrier strike
group to the Middle East claiming that there is a ‘credible threat by
Iranian regime forces,’ but did not provide any details on the
underlying intelligence. And according to US officials there were
‘multiple, credible threats’ against US forces on land, including in
Iraq, by Iran and proxy forces and at sea. On further questioning by
reporters this was their reply, ‘We call on the Iranian regime to cease
all provocation. We will hold the Iranian regime accountable for any
attack on US forces or our interests,’ Shanahan added.
See the devious intent of the warmongering Americans trying to set the stage for an attack on Iranian forces? Firstly, the Iranian forces are in their own country and neighbouring Syria fighting the IS. What threat is there to the Americans? Why should they be a threat to the Americans? And why are the American forces there in the first place, threatening the Iranians?
Who is provoking who? Amassing so many American forces and hardware around Iran and Iranian forces is not provoking and threatening Iranian forces? Sending the carrier strike group to the region not a provocative act while the Iranian forces were in their home country and in neighbouring Syria are a threat to American forces?
Who are they conning? Fake news, disinformation, telling white lies, deceit, to bluff the world that the Iranians are threatening American forces to justify an attack on Iranian forces and not the other way? Another version of WMD?
If one is to read the American propaganda, the American official position as reported by all pro American media, it is easy to believe that the devil is crying wolf and is the victim of provocation and the devil is right to send more forces to attack the Iranians.
Even in the trade negotiation with China, the Americans are the one that is threatening this and that against China. This Evil Empire is getting more dangerous by the day. They are the world’s gangsters, military thugs with very dangerous and destructive weapons of war and think they could threaten every country at will and no one can stop them or dare to say anything against them. They have military forces everywhere to start a war, all options are on the table, they proudly proclaimed to the world. What can any country do about it?
What are the little USAs saying about this rogue nation? What is the useless UN going to do, be like the proverbial monkeys, see nothing, hear nothing and do nothing, because they cannot offend the evil empire? Friendly and peace loving country? Rule of law or Rule of Outlaw?
In the case of attacking Iran, they simply claimed that there is a threat according to their own intelligence and this is enough to want to attack Iran, just like they attacked Iraq using fictitious WMD ploy. The evil Americans must by struck by lighting if there is really a God. They are threatening Iran and deceiving the world that the Iranians are threatening them! The Iranians are the bad guys, the evil Americans are the good guys, the victims of aggression, under threats….fearing for their lives.

Teach children critical thinking skills
I was embarrassed reading this article in thenewpaper on 6 May by a Lia
Testa Teismann, head of secondary courses at the British Council. What
she talked about, teaching our young critical thinking to know what is
fake news and misinformation is all common sense. When our daft
Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act(POFMA), oops, I
mean draft, was read in Parliament, it was such a disappointment that no
one dare to tell the minister how nonsensical is this bill. It was
equally disappointing that none of our thinkers, scholars, academics,
educationists spoke up in the same vein to debunk the myth concocted by
the authority about fake news.
Maybe they all agree that we should bring up our children in a cocoon or bubble, screened and protected from all the fake news, no need to tell them the truth, no need to teach them to tell the difference from fake news, misinformation and the truth, just keep them away from each other. This is how irresponsible our thinking community or academics are on this matter. Life is not simply black and white and Singaporeans, including children and adults need to face them squarely in their lives.
If we don’t teach out young to think, how could they fend for themselves when they are brought up in an environment without fake news and misinformation? The hard truth is that the authority everywhere is the biggest manufacturer of fake news and misinformation. Look at how our history books were written by the West, the colonialists. Till today, practically every adult is still spouting the nonsense, the misinformation that Singapore was founded by Stamford Raffles. What kind of bull is this? When are we going to rewrite our history correctly to remove this fake information, that Raffles did not found Singapore? Singapore and the people of Singapore existed way before even Raffles was born.
The fault of educating our young lies in our adults, and sad to say many of our adults could not think, could not differentiate between truth and fake news or misinformation or propaganda of the state. When questioned about the threat of China, Mahathir told the journalists off pointedly. Where is the threat from China? Malaya/Malaysia was having good relations with China for thousands of years before the Europeans came, and the Chinese did not conquer or colonise them. But when the Europeans came, within two days, they conquered and colonized Malaya and ruled for nearly 200 years. Same as all the Asian and SE Asian countries, all suffered the same fate, conquered and ruled by the Europeans, not by China.
But if you ask any silly Asian, especially the bananas, they would respond like robots, to tell you how they fear China, an expansionist and aggressive country, wanting to conquer and rule the world. Who have done that and who is ruling the world? These unthinking adults did not know that they have been planted with misinformation by the West for their entire life, reading western propaganda and white lies as the truth, as history.
Did our govt and leaders know the difference? Who needs critical thinking skills, the adults or children or the people supposedly wise enough to implement the new ‘akan datang’ law to be obeyed without thinking?
To teach critical thinking, we need to rewrite our history books and learn a new history of our little island and the whole of Asia and the world from our own perspectives as victims of the marauding West. Do the adults understand the meaning of American Exceptionalism, Doctrine of Christian Discovery, or things like lobbying when lobbying is actually corruption and bribery at the highest level in American politics said differently? The West used different words to disguise their evilness and wickedness but used crude words to smear the rest of the world, regime change is invasion of a country. Period. Rule of law is law that you must obey, not the Americans or the West, their law for you to live by.
If we gag a nation of people, what kind of people will they become? Sanitized like kindergarten children, reading only fairy tales and believing in fairy tales?
