guys guys guys, This is sharing a tale from Sammyboy forum - Singapore's most popular anti-PAP forum apart from Temasek Review Take the following tale with some salt okay? Especially after the fake story of MINDEF. zzzz... But then there might be some truth in SPH reporters' unwanted persistent. Last time the police had to handcuff a Wanbao reporter because the latter is stubborn and insist to endanger his own life to take some langar photos I think. Anyone had experiences with our local paparazzis? http://www.sammyboy.com/showthread.php?109...SSING-MY-MOTHER I didn't link the reporter's photograph, just in case he's innocent...

Our award winning news... Excellent reporting but not to my taste. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1172837/1/.html

HAHA, MALAYSIA BOLEH! AHMAD UNleashed RACIST remark calling another race "squatters" and giving threats to the race and Indian but never arrested. Instead the reporter, a Chinese female, got arrested instead! Malaysia boleh! Opposition MP Ms Kok also arrested. Raja Petra also arrested. One more to be arrested then can play Mahjong. KUALA LUMPUR : Malaysian authorities Friday arrested an opposition politician, a prominent blogger and a journalist, according to officials and reports, in a crackdown as the opposition plots to seize power. The three were all believed to be held under the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA) which allows for detention without trial and has been used against government opponents in the past. Political observers said they feared the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, which was humiliated in March elections and is now threatened by the opposition's plans, was planning a repeat of an infamous 1987 crackdown. "Is Malaysia in the grip of another ISA madness, akin to Operation Lalang 21 years ago when there were mass arrests under the ISA and closure of three newspapers?" said opposition lawmaker Lim Kit Siang who was jailed in that campaign. Malaysia's leading blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin, who has targeted government figures on his website "Malaysia Today", was the first to be taken into custody. Raja Petra has already been charged with sedition and defamation after linking Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife to the sensational murder of a Mongolian woman. Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar justified the arrest, saying the offending articles had insulted Islam and the Prophet Muhammad -- an offence in predominantly Muslim Malaysia. "We have called him in many times and advised him on his statements but he continued until he posed a threat," he said. Tan Hoon Cheng, a reporter for the Chinese-language Sin Chew Daily News, was also arrested after reporting on an outburst from a ruling party member who called the ethnic Chinese community "squatters". Her report triggered a major row in the coalition which is made up of race-based parties. The leading party, which represents majority Muslim Malays, was forced to punish the member responsible. "Her colleagues from Sin Chew Daily are shocked about the arrest," the newspaper said in a statement. "Sin Chew Daily will stand firmly by our editorial position." The Star daily's website also reported that Teresa Kok, a lawmaker from the Chinese-based Democratic Action Party which is a member of the opposition alliance, had also been arrested under the ISA. It did not give further details, but Kok has been defending herself against allegations that she complained about the noise of morning prayers at a mosque in her electorate. She has said the accusation is "preposterous". The Internal Security Act, which human rights groups have pushed to have abolished, allows for renewable two-year periods of detention without trial and is normally used against suspected terrorists. Malaysia's opposition, led by Anwar Ibrahim who is plotting to topple the government as soon as next week, condemned the move to deploy the law as "draconian and unjustified." The Centre for Independent Journalism said the measures "bear a disturbing resemblance to the period in the lead-up to the Operasi Lalang in 1987" when dozens of activists, artists, academics and politicians were detained. "Both incidents are similar in that it relates to ongoing political crisis within UMNO, but manifested as alleged racial tension by the government," it said in a statement. Three Malaysian newspapers -- the Sin Chew Daily News, The Sun which is a free English-language daily, and Suara Keadilan which is published by the opposition -- were also Friday reportedly threatened with suspension. The Star's website said the three had been issued with "show cause" letters from the home ministry, requiring them to explain their actions or face suspension.

July 18, 2008 Aussie TV reporter arrested for drug offences in S'pore AUSTRALIAN Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC) South Asia correspondent Peter Lloyd, 41, has been arrested in Singapore and will be charged in court on Friday with trafficking in a controlled drug. A statement from the Singapore's Central Narcotics Bureau on Thursday night said he was arrested in the course of a follow-up search following the arrest of a 31-year-old Singaporean drug abuser at Block 714 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 on Wednesday. The Singaporean man had a packet of 'Ice' weighing 0.6 grams on him. Investigations revealed that 'his supplier' was an Australian national who is in Singapore on a social visit pass, said the CNB statement. The Australian was arrested and a packet of 'Ice' weighing 0.8 grams, a smoking pipe and six syringes, were seized from him. His urine tested positive for Amphetamines, a controlled drug. He is being investigated for trafficking in a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act. If convicted, he can be jailed from five to 20 years and caned up to 15 strokes. In a follow-up operations, CNB officers arrested another four Singaporeans for drug trafficking and drug abuse offences. CNB said the Australian and the Singaporean drug abuser will be charged in court on Friday. Investigations into the two other men continue. Statement from ABC ABC News director John Cameron said in a statement on Friday morning that Lloyd was in Singapore on leave from his New Delhi base when he was arrested. 'The ABC has not been told the full details of the case, but we were aware that Peter had been undergoing hospital treatment in Singapore for a serious eye infection which he contracted while on leave,' he said. 'The ABC is in close contact with consular officials and is also taking steps to ensure Peter is given appropriate legal representation.' Lloyd was reportedly due to return to Australia to front a new breakfast news programme on ABC2 in September. A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) spokesman in Canberra confirmed the Australian's arrest and said its High Commission in Singapore was seeking to offer him consular assistance. According to ABC, Lloyd joined the company in 1988, working in the Sydney television newsroom for three years before moving to Britain to work for the BBC and British Sky News. He has since reported for Australian audiences from all over the world and became the ABC's South Asia correspondent in mid-2002. From 2002 to mid-2006, he was based in Bangkok reporting on South-east Asian affairs. His compelling reports on the Bali bombings and later the tsunami disaster earned him several Walkely Award nominations, according to ABC. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2...ry_258873.html Not 10s-giving yet, but Aussie leeporter got chance to hv cold turkey liaoz
