TR EMERITUS

作者:李显涛   一照之下也不必吃惊，因为里外都不是人。 看早报 《“要烧维文和行动党” 男子面簿留言煽动被捕》，不免感叹新加坡的警察部队竟也堕落到这步田地！ 退一万步来讲，即使因为这句简单口号式的言论：“是时候让我们‘焚烧’（burn）维文和人民行动党。让我们团结起来，投票把他们挤出局。”被捉个正着，物证俱在，警方真的能在法庭上控他煽动罪或者意图谋杀的罪名成立吗？这样的逮捕行动，要收的是意在言外的震慑效果，是在大选前的牛刀小试。这本是秘密警察干的事，而新加坡的警方却愿意为了主子而蹚浑水，焚身以火，“警格”还剩多少？就可想而知了。 最好玩是探讨“警方”怎么会知道这件事？好像没有人知道，是因为维文感觉人身受威胁抑或PAP估计总部有被烧的危险，随后当事人报案，警方才介入调查？ 又或者我们的警察部队，有个部门是专门在监控网民对执政者不利的言论，宁可错杀一万也不放走一个？要是这样的话，那么做为纳税人，其实我们有权知道，警察部队把政府给的常年预算的多少投入这个单单维护执政党的运作上？用我们的钱来要全民噤声，这有什么道理？   大马论坛...
