Can anyone explain to me the meaning of this article? I dun get it...

He's saying nobody needs to write bad things about the govt to let the whole world know. The whole world has eyes to see it.

 

He also said to sue the writer who wrote the bad things about the govt is a cowardly act. To sue or not ppl can see what's going on. What's the point? It's plain bullying.

 

 

Disclaimer: This professor say wan, not I say. I do not want to be sued. :D

Fcuking freedom of speech if overrated.... There's a difference between speaking freely and ridiculing.

 

i agree....people misunderstood the "freedom of speech" thingy....

 

you can say what you like, but if what said cannot be proven or baseless, then be prepared to be rebutted, or if slanderous remarks made about certain people, be prepared to face the lawsuit

And there's a greater difference when u get jailed for ridiculing. In fact, such a govt is tyrannical and dangerous as truth may be suppressed.

Public funds missing? Anyway i think its common knowledge temasek did lose money in investments. Not surprising considering those heading it are not exactly wall street gurus.

Of course, by the term "investment" means there are risks. You win you lose. When investment soar, everyone 笑眯眯, but when investment dive, everyone look for head to roll. Wah, pao tan one aa..... I'm not saying they are all correct but can't help from thinking that there are some people just want to pull Singapore down.
