Police put up camera at Speakers' Corner
Thursday, 23 July 2009
Singapore Democrats
Just
when you thought that freedom of expression could not become any more
farcical in Singapore, the police install a CCTV at Hong Lim Park.
Already, public speaking is banned in Singapore, a group of 5 or more persons gathered to "support or oppose the views of any person" require a permit (that the police categorically state they will not grant), and even one person conducting a protest can be considered an illegal assembly and ordered to disperse.
Freedom of expression is strictly confined to Speakers' Corner. On Tuesday this week, however, workmen were seen installing surveillance cameras at the venue."What are you doing? You cannot take a picture. This belongs to the police," one of the workers said to our cameraman. Some of his colleagues darted away out of camera range.
"Well, actually it doesn't, it belongs to taxpayers and I am a taxpayer," our SDP reporter shot back. "So what are you guys doing?"
Seeing
that we were not going to be fooled or intimidated, one of them said
that they were contractors installing the cameras for the police.
Another was busy keying in data on a laptop programming the CCTV.
Looking around there were two other such cameras installed around the park to cover the entire field.
If this is not a police state where even a so-called tiny free speech corner is monitored by the state, we don't know what is.Watch video at right or here.

This way easier for them to track down the oppositions since election is coming soon.

Ho Ching also still in Temasek.
They don't feel secure without a Lee member controlling it.

But if that is the case, they should not get in Goodyear. Guess that getting Goodyear is just for show to appease the people.

What a stinking business.
Recession over, then suddenly drop Goodyear.
It smells of a political farce.
Recession scared people complain then change to Goodyear, recession over then change back Ho Ching.
So what happened to the strategic restructuring?
That also for show?
Politics in Singapore is just one big fucking charade.

Freedom of speech and expression does not mean lawlessness, You will be liable for what you say.
'I take a contrary view, because I know the mentality and the attitudes of the people in Singapore - and they know me by now, that if anybody impugns the integrity of the Government, of which I was the prime minister, I must sue.'
...if the authorities could pinpoint the culprit (YOU).

With greater powers come greater control. Inevitable.

You mean this lawlessness?
Gary: He said to me at the lift lobby 90% of the exact words - �Mr Tan,if you walk out of here tomorrow,you might get killed.You might meet with a mysterious accident,you might disappear and nobody will know what happened to you! Mr Tan, some things and people in this country you cannot offend! Some people are above all things! You better make sure you know this! Mr Tan,we can arrange for things to happen to you.You understand or not!�
The mice from Singapore is going to take over the world. -
