Singapore Bloggers Charged Under Sedition Act

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the what-happened-to-anonymous-posts dept.

ChannelNewsAsia is reporting that for the first time in at least 10 years Singapore has invoked the sedition act and charged two local bloggers for posting racist comments on an online forum. From the article: 'Said Singaporean blogger Benjamin Lee (Mr Miyagi):" A lot of them will be looking at their blogs and wondering if they made any legally seditious remarks. I think because of the way this will be played up, it's negative publicity for the Singapore blogging community."'

    Could we have a link please? This is a new low for editing here.

    Shouldn't this story have...you know...a link?

    I know it's not the typical Slashdot way, but I would prefer to be informed by something longer than a paragraph.

    Way to go editors!
