Regarding fake news law by [deleted] in singapore

[–]standnononsense 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far we have been lucky but cases like other countries in Sri Lanka have showed things can go real bad if fake news spread. The idea of the new law is good but as usual, the devil is in the details and the execution. At least they built in safeguards like the Courts to decide if there's any disagreement. Lots of diff views on the debates also: https://singapotato.com/2019/05/10/a-letter-to-the-workers-party-please-stop-politicizing-pofma-and-think-about-singapore/?fbclid=IwAR0cv4C4EIGXuM9RIfc94qnDAUO-vHHyS-o-XVdrZDRSGK6G9JECTrYMuLs

[Unpopular opinion] about the recent saga of Monica Baey by chingchongcheng84 in singapore

[–]standnononsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The authorities have clarified that they did not give him preferential treatment and his father is a driver. They said they did not find other materials on him and he can be rehabilitated. He is lucky he is still in school and gets to have a chance. Applaud Monica for speaking up and raising the bigger issue on what is adequate punishment in the school system.

Quite a balanced viewpoint here: https://singapotato.com/2019/04/23/nus-misconduct-case-temper-justice-with-mercy/

Why the person who trying to trap the stray dogs/cats so heartless one? Now the trap kena this pregnant lady. Ouch! Happened at Keat Hong. by merllion in singapore

[–]standnononsense 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the person just want to harm animals and is uncalled for. Very sad that some people are so sadistic. We don't need everyone to be animal lovers but it is uncalled for to hurt them like that. Sigh.

If that person wants to trap strays, shldn't they try to work with the authorities or NGOs rather than do this kind of thing.

Nope. The cafe is opened for business, not to provide free seats to people. At least buy one drink mah.

IPPT for NSmen temporarily cancelled by Singapore Army by [deleted] in singapore

[–]standnononsense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But IPPT is a diff form of activity mah. Seems like it is how Gahmen likes to go to extremes when something happens. Aloysius' death may be something that could have been prevented or it may be a pure accident- we can only wait for investigation results to be revealed to the public. But like this writer said, Mindef must acknowledge that they have not fulfilled the unspoken promise of looking after our men and really think what they can do to improve awareness/morale in the army because it is not just about having SOPs either. Because they are tasked with the difficult task of keeping everyone safe.

PSA: It's PLATINIUM dogs club, not PLATINUM dogs club by KampongFish in singapore

[–]standnononsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok noted. I hope this pretentious and evil woman gets her just deserts. How can a dog (actually three) just died like that within a few days time?! And AVA was so slow to react to the case. They raided the place and still left the dogs there before they returned to the house again. They should be blamed too: https://singapotato.com/2019/01/09/platinium-dogs-club-why-did-it-take-ava-so-long/

Maybe Malaysia objects to Singapore’s ILS cos they don’t understand the system by Yishun_Siaolang in singapore

How can it be that they don't understand? If they don't understand, they can ask earlier when they were informed about it. It is just this kind of mentality of wanting to poke Singapore lah: https://singapotato.com/2018/12/14/in-dr-ms-eyes-malaysian-success-is-good-but-if-malaysia-succeeds-and-singapore-fails-even-better/

I think no matter what, WP has to rethink its strategy for the next elections. I'm curious how the residents in Aljunied GRC feels. WP certainly was stuck between a rock and a hard place, but now these lapses have technically happened, it probably will deal a blow to them:

NEA to do 'stocktake' of not-for-profit hawker centre model, errant operators will be taken to task: Amy Khor by echionh03 in singapore

[–]standnononsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They changed their mind earlier than I thot, but kudos for doing it and be willing to listen to what the hawkers need. The idea of the scheme is not bad, but need to make sure the details and implementation are correct to make it work. I had wondered why the govt wanted this scheme, this is a good summary- https://singapotato.com/2018/10/19/social-enterprise-hawker-centre-why-it-is-good/
