If indeed these photos cause social unrest and are a threat to national security, then these reporters must be detained under ISA.

If this, yet another instance of obstructionism, was carried out to save the PAP government from embarassment, then this is also yet another misuse of public funds to serve the PAP's party objectives.

When a Govt starts to crumble....they become hypersensitive and paranoid over the smallest criticisms. They then start to flex their muscles to remind their subjucated people they are still in charge and would not tolerate any attempt to challenge their authority.

I won't be surprised that at this time and with the impending unpredictable GE, aged and near-senile LKY has intimated to his son that perhaps he should revive the flagging ISA and round up their most vocal detractors (abt 20 or so) and damn what the world will say/do.
"It is time once again to cut the chicken's head to scare all the monkeys out there!"

I've always said that the state does half the work for us. The above is another example of how.

Rare to see this party defending a local media for once. So can this be a case where it proves SDP wrong that the local media is not a mouthpiece for the government?

Anyway, this photographer may really be hampering police work. The poor officer's photo in WB front-page obviously meant to shame him. I'm not sure that's fair. He's in the rain, wet and drench in the early morning, working in a depressing environment, trying to tell a person to buzz off for interfering with his work, and he's being blamed now by the paper for being an asshole. I'm not sure man.

The last time there was a big flood was in the sixties when I was in my teens. I can still remember the fun we had although it happened on Hari Raya eve.

Floods normally happened when heavy rains coincide with exceptionally high tide. But now it is happening far too often. Perhaps it is God's way of telling the PAP not to be too arrogant.

Let's wait for tomorrow's Parliament session and see what sort of wayang they are going to put up this time. Who's turn to be the scape goat? Let's also watch what the MPs, including the oppo trio, have got to say.

tencents,

The SDP does not defend "the local media" for its sake. It is in fact defending what is right. Get it? It has always opposed the abuse of authority and continue to stand by the oppressed.

The media should now wake up. Stop being the PAP mouthpiece. Those working for the media should now know what we are up against. Serve the people instead. Tell the truth as it is.

The police needs to say more to explain the handcuffing. Did they mean they were so weak and untrained at manhandling as to be unable to restrain a "struggling", above middle-age, somewhat bloated press photographer ( and there were surely at least several policemen there) without hanfcuffing him in public, making him appear as a common thug?

Did they break the law, seizing someone for a "non-seizable offence"? Indeed, was it even an offence?

In the future, whenever a policeman flash out his handcuff, he will evoke so much fear that all the reporters will automatically get out of his way.

Who was the photographer?

Can he do a video interview for yourSDP?
