“Since Lim Kit Siang’ s criticism was only directed at Naj ib for his personal misjudgment in the whole episode, it would not be possible for any prosecutor to establish a “seditious tendency” under s 3(1) of the Sedition Act. This is because paragraphs (a) and (b) of the subsection concern a seditious tendency against a Ruler or Government – so these provisions do not apply to a personal criticism of Naj ib in his handling of the affair” retired justice nh chan

that would be the defence but what do the facts reveal. law is clear. application of the facts to the law may produce something else.” – DON’T TALK ABOUT LAW IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. YOU’RE ONE OF THE LAW BREAKERS AS WELL.

Dear cintanegara,
For your kind information, the old doctor is wise enough to know when to show off his sharp analytical mind and when not to do so. For example, at the Lingam video inquiry, the old doctor’s mind seemed to have sharply analysed & anticipated that he would encounter a rather difficult situation, and thus, switched into selective memory loss mode…
And of course, he doesn’t need a wheelchair… He already has a Porsche Cayenne, which is quick enough for his ‘scot free’ getaways, while he expect us rakyat to support his ‘brainchild’ called Proton…

8 weeks’ jail each Couple committed ‘serious offences capable of eroding racial and religious harmony’

by Teo Xuanwei Updated 09:37 AM Jun 11, 2009
TODAY, Singapore

FOR two decades, the couple spread their faith by handing out religious pamphlets, and then by dropping tracts into random HDB letterboxes.

From around 1998, however, Ong Kian Cheong and Dorothy Chan Hien Leng, both Protestant Christians, mailed them to addresses picked out from the telephone directory – those of Muslims included.

They “clearly did so with the intent of convincing the Muslim reader to convert to Christianity”, a district court found yesterday.

For distributing and possessing seditious and objectionable publications, husband and wife were sentenced to eight weeks’ jail each yesterday.

Such “intolerance, insensitivity and ignorance of delicate issues concerning race and religion” in Singapore “clearly warranted” a custodial sentence, said District Judge Roy Neighbour.

In the first full trial heard under the Sedition Act, the married couple of 24 years was found guilty on May 28 of the charges.

In 2007, Mr Irwan Ariffin, 32, and Madam Farhati Ahmad, 36, received an evangelistic comic-style booklet titled The Little Bride through the mail while Mr Isa Raffee, 35, was sent Who Is Allah?.

After a complaint to the police, an ambush was laid and the pair was arrested on Jan 30 last year. Found in their condominium in Bukit Timah were 439 copies of 11 seditious tracts.

During the 11-day trial, it emerged that the SingTel technical officer and his wife, a UBS associate director, sent out about 20,000 publications in seven years.

Produced by an American firm called Chick Publications, the fundamentalist Protestant materials were “not only offensive for religious content but also have a tendency to promote feelings of ill-will or hostility between Muslims and Christians in Singapore”, said Judge Neighbour.

By distributing tracts with “callous, denigratory, offensive and insensitive statements on religion with aspersions on race”, the pair had committed “serious” offences that “have the capacity to undermine and erode the delicate fabric of racial and religious harmony in Singapore”.

Common sense, he said, dictated that religious fervor to spread the faith, “in our society, must be constrained by sensitivity, tolerance and mutual respect for another’s faith and religious beliefs”.

Ong, 50, and Chan, 46, were expressionless when sentenced. Their lawyer Selva K Naidu told the court that they had filed a notice of appeal against the conviction last Friday. He was awaiting instructions to proceed.

The pair faced two charges of distributing seditious publications each, and one each of distributing an objectionable publication and possession of seditious tracts.

They got four weeks’ jail for each charge – two of them running consecutively and the remaining to run concurrently. They could have been fined up to $5,000 and/or jailed for up to three years for each of the two charges.

The possession charge carries a maximum fine of $2,000 and/or jail for up to 18 months. Distributing objectionable publications is punishable with a fine not exceeding $5,000 and/or up to one year behind bars.

Couple deserve jail: DPP

A strong message needs to be sent for the sake of harmony, court told

By Elena Chong

SEND a strong message to those whose actions can create disharmony and discord in Singapore.

This call was made by the prosecution on Thursday when it pushed for jail sentences of between two and six months for a Christian couple convicted of distributing and possessing seditious publications.

Calling the offences of Ong Kian Cheong, 50, and his 46-year-old wife, Dorothy Chan Hien Leng, calculated, meticulous and methodical, deputy public prosecutors Anandan Bala and Sharmila Sripathy-Shanaz said it was imperative that an ‘unequivocal message be sent’.

DPP Bala said the couple’s distribution of highly offensive and insulting comic tracts to Muslims and other non-Christians bore all the hallmarks of grossly irresponsible and callous evangelisation, and had the potential to seriously undermine and threaten Singapore’s multi-religious society.

Sending them to jail, he added, would also ‘deter others from behaving in a manner that can create disharmony and discord between the different classes of people living in Singapore’.

Ong, a SingTel technical officer, and Chan, an associate director of Swiss bank UBS, were found guilty last week of four charges of sedition after an 11-day trial.

They had distributed two publications, The Little Bride and Who Is Allah?, to two Muslims.

Both publications tended to promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between Christians and Muslims in Singapore.

They were also found to have distributed The Little Bride to another Muslim in 2007, even though they knew the publication was likely to cause feelings of enmity, hatred, ill-will or hostility between the two religious groups.

The couple were also found to have had 439 copies of 11 seditious tracts at their Maplewoods condominium in Bukit Timah on Jan 30 last year, the day of their arrest.

Over two decades, Ong and Chan, who had attended the Berean Christian Church in Havelock Road, distributed over 20,000 evangelistic tracts to the public.

no mens rea. yes. but it appears to have enough of the ‘seditious tendency’ called for under the Act.
