talks shit hiding behind his diplomatic immunity.&amp;nbsp;He is an
american with no stakes in our country, except to tarnish our
country. Those who are taken by his words, next time he will
probably sell you the manhattan bridge.&lt;/p&gt;

to survive and find solutions to these inflationary times, and
there this guest in Singapore who offers nothing, absolutely
NOTHING except to disparage and cast aspersions on the courts and
our ministers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I find the only reference to Justice Lai Siu Chiu in Nair
posting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is interesting that he encourages CSJ goes to jail
repeatedly!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said curry in QRP is very good.&lt;/p&gt;

rel="nofollow"&gt;Singapore. The answer lies in civil
disobedience&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Chee and his supporters have staged protests. For that he
has been arrested and imprisoned. But at the same time, you can see
that Lee is hesitating. They are no longer so confident. Dr. Chee
could have been given a long jail term for deliberately telling
Judge &lt;span class="" style=
"padding: 0pt; background-color: yellow; color: black; display: inline; font-size: inherit;"&gt;
Lai&lt;/span&gt; Siew Chew&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;(lion note: i
think Nair means Lai Siu Chiu)&lt;/span&gt;, in open court, in full view
that she is corrupt. Surprisingly Dr. Chee's sentence was
unbelievably lenient. A small fine, in default a week in jail. A
very lenient sentence for a serious contempt. The people know the
truth. There is no avoiding it. Is that the reason for the
leniency?. Lee is beginning to look silly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Chee and his supporters should not let up on the protests.
Do it repeatedly. Challenge them to arrest you repeatedly.
&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;Send you to jail repeatedly.&lt;/span&gt;
They will soon realize that their punishments are not having the
desired effect. With world and public opinion squarely against
them, they will have to come down from their high horse.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;For the allegation of Nair sending e mail to Justice Lai Siu
Chiu,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;while she was sitting over a contempt of court case committed by
CSJ,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nair implied The Judge worked against critics of PAP and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;called her and other judges in SG ''corrupt''.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;This great Amercian chap was
formerly a miniority in Singapore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;But why did he insult another
miniority police recently&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;in Little India?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The word Miniority is not so comfortable to some.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Miniority just for convenience,without any sense of
insulting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He wrote for the rights for&amp;nbsp; Indian and Malay staying
in&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singapore while in USA.Great!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But deeds more important than words,Mr Nair!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What's the hell u insulted a miniority Police,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as reported by Strait Times?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am just a slave .Pl dunt sue me or shot me!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is his agenda of this posting?&lt;/p&gt;

rel="nofollow"&gt;The Malays and Indians in Singapore should learn
something from the Indian ethnic protests in Malaysia.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is true that the Malays&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;(lion
note:he means Malay in SG)&lt;/span&gt; have more children than the
Chinese or Indians. And why not. It is their country. They have
every right to have children. Children are a gift from God and must
be cherished. But the government is feeling insecure that Malays
are having more children. This Chinese dominated government of
Singapore, feels that if the Malays become the majority, the
Chinese would be relegated to their inferior positions as in
Indonesia and Malaysia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Self talking is talking to oneself. The person talks without
expecting any response. It may be the early &lt;a href=

"color: #000000;"&gt;symptoms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of schizophrenia.
Muttering to oneself for one or 2 days may not be pathological. If
somebody laughs without any reason when alone or talking with
himself for a prolonged period, along with other behavioral
abnormalities like hallucination, social withdrawal, emotional
upsets, odd behavior, etc. the person needs immediate psychiatric
consultation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hallucination is a false perception in any of the five sensory
modalities when no external stimulus exists, as when a nonexistent
object is seen. Hallucinations may occur in the twilight state
between sleeping and awakening, or in delirium, delirium tremens,
or exhaustion; they also may be induced under hypnosis. The visual
sense is most often affected. Persistent hallucinations are
characteristic of schizophrenia. In one type of schizophrenia,
victims believe that they hear accusing or commanding voices, to
which they may react in panic, with abject obedience, or with
attempts at self-protection or even suicide. Hallucination is
distinguished from illusion, a false perception of an actual
stimulus, and is common following self-administration of certain

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness characterized by a variety
of symptoms, including loss of contact with reality, bizarre
behavior, disorganized thinking and speech, decreased emotional
expressiveness, and social withdrawal. Usually only some of these

      <description>&lt;p class=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why People Talk to Themselves&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;Jeffry J. Andresen, M.D.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;SOME PEOPLE TALK TO THEMSELVES. They speak aloud but
address their words to no one around them. This habit,
psychoanalytic investigation reveals, can be highly pleasurable.
But, conversely, the habit is also somewhat notorious, for many
jokes make talking to oneself the cardinal sign of mental
illness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;This phenomenon of pleasurable talking to oneself
deserves investigation, and I have assembled evidence bearing on
the matter, evidence drawn from the treatments of five patients.
Four were analysands, all with a capacity for triadic love
relations. The remaining patient was less mature. The sample is,
then, a limited one, for it does not include people who have never
been patients, people of foreign cultures, or people who are
psychotic. The sample is limited in another respect in that it does
not include examples of all forms that talking to oneself can take.
It does not include, for example, instances when such talks are
unpleasurable or when solitary speaking is actual.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Who says UK is a police state and there is lack of freedom of
expression there?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think nobody say so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even so,there is a limit in freedom of expression.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This includes u cant say your former school mate is gay in
Facebook!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;UK businessman wins Facebook libel case&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;Posted &lt;span class=""&gt;2 hours 37 minutes ago&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;A British businessman has won a libel case and 22,000
pounds in damages at London's High Court after false claims about
him were posted on the hugely popular social networking website
Facebook.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a test case, Matthew Firsht sued a former school friend over
a false personal profile on the site that included private
information about him and untrue allegations about his sexual
orientation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr Firsht said freelance cameraman Grant Raphael had put up the
information on Facebook, which has about 90 million members
worldwide, under the heading "Has Matthew Firsht lied to you?".&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Facebook entry alleged that Mr Firsht was signed up to other
groups, including "Gay in the Wood...Borehamwood" and "Gay Jews in
London".&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The profiles remained on the site for 16 days until they were
spotted by Mr Firsht's brother and removed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raphael had claimed that the profile was created on a computer
at his home without his knowledge by someone who had attended a
private party there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;But that was dismissed by Deputy
Judge Richard Parkes who awarded Mr Firsht 15,000 pounds and his
television company Applause Store Productions 5,000 pounds in libel
damages.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr Firsht was also awarded 2,000 pounds for breach of his
privacy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a hearing earlier this month Mr Firsht's lawyer Lorna Skinner
said "Facebook enthusiast" Raphael had borne a grudge since the two
men fell out in 2000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She said he had created the false entry to cause Mr Firsht
anxiety and embarrassment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Reuters&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;it will not be helpful to use USA gavaman to give pressure to SG
gavaman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nair shall review Michael Faye case.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I understand from the US Embassy that US Secretary of State
&lt;span class=""&gt;Condoleezza&lt;/span&gt; Rice will be in Singapore on July
24, 2008. I also understand that the US State Department at the
&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;highest levels is being briefed daily
daily&lt;/span&gt; on my matter. I have asked the US Embassy to put my
case to the Secretary of State while she is here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wrote a blog and I am entitled under my right to freedom of
speech to say what I say during the 3 day trial of May 26 to May
28, 2008 in the High Court. The words that I used in the blog
clearly meant in the English language that judge Belinda
&lt;span class=""&gt;Ang&lt;/span&gt; had abused her authority, and it was not
meant to be understood in any other sense. If in fact the selection
of my words, although proper in the English language, was harsh I
apologize to Judge Belinda &lt;span class=""&gt;Ang&lt;/span&gt; for it.
However my stand will continue to be that in the English language,
it was &lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;a proper use of the
words&lt;/span&gt; to describe her actions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;...So much so that it seems that i have fallen a little behind
on my professional obligations. On&amp;nbsp;Wednesday itself after
obtaining Mr. Nair&#8217;s trial dates (24th July Full day , 28th July
AM, 29th July PM, 30th July PM, 31st July Full day, 6th August Full
day).....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have&amp;nbsp;been fortunate as Dr. Chee is very much willing to
handle his trial in the Subordinate Courts himself. Dr. Chee&#8217;s
trial was supposed to start from 14th July 2008 till 8th August
2008.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And since that i have now also found out that Mr. Gopalan Nair
is willing as well, I will have my&amp;nbsp;little breather to find
that point of balance again...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The central figure in the tympanum is that of Justice, with a
figure immediately to its left representing the lost soul begging
for protection from it. Next to this figure are two legislators
with books in hand, representing the law. To the right of Justice,
a figure bows in gratitude, followed by a man with a bull,
representing riches and prosperity. Two young children holding a
sheaf of wheat represent abundance from law and justice.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Australian writer Chris Merritt wrote a interview with
Nair.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nair said US Embassy had written to SG gavaman for&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a earlier trial,which is scheduled for mid Sept 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it constituted interfere with SG domectic affairs?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it normal for a case takes 2 month to be heard?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His lawyer had a PTC with Judge in mid July and the mid Sept&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;trial was fixed then.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Highly critical views may be tolerated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Such as Uncle Yap --http://uncleyap-news.blogspot.com/&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;calling LKY as &lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;shameless old dog
thiefand and the long life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thread 'LKY--when are u going to die''&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of hits 80,000 and not blocked by gavaman,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But u can not said a female Judge &lt;span style=
"color: #ff0000;"&gt;prostituted for Lees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tolerance has a limit.U got it?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Bloggers in Singapore&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SIR &#8211; Contrary to your article about politics on the web, no
bloggers have been jailed in Singapore for &#8220;posting materials that
those in power dislike&#8221; (&#8220;&lt;a href=
"http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11622401"
rel="nofollow"&gt;Blog standard&lt;/a&gt;&#8221;, June 28th). There is no such
offence under Singaporean law and many websites post highly
critical views of the government. However, two bloggers have been
jailed and another put on probation for posting virulently racist
remarks that could damage racial harmony. Singapore is a
multiracial, multireligious society, yet its threshold as to what
is objectionable in such matters is higher than in some European
countries, which make it an offence to deny the Holocaust.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another blogger currently faces charges for writing that a
female High Court judge had &#8220;&lt;span style=
"color: #ff0000;"&gt;prostituted&#8221;&lt;/span&gt; herself in a case that she
was trying. Unless we uphold the standing and reputation of the
judiciary, there is no basis for the freedoms that citizens expect,
either on the internet or in the real world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;K. Bhavani&lt;br /&gt;

be respected and protected inside/outside
court&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SG judge is not provided with body guards or armed like in other
countries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So,if she is not respected while she is sitting inside the
court,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;will the verbal insult,though via web,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;become a direct and face to face insult ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The insult must be stopped at some point.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do u think SG judges cannot earn a living in private
practice&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and have to bear insult while sitting in bench?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;How can they face
spouse,family,relatives and friends after&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;given insults?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They are not invited to read the insult.Yes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But what is the purposes of the messages posted on net?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bloggers,forumers are expecting people to read lah,stupid!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So do u think people around them will not read the insults?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next time,u critize a male judge &lt;span style=
"color: #ff0000;"&gt;prostitute&lt;/span&gt; may get a softer response!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dunt call me Hooker.We are Asians!!&lt;/p&gt;

lawyer who has criticised Mr Lee on the internet.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The latest target is California lawyer Gopalan Nair, a former
Singapore citizen, who dared Mr Lee to take action over a critical
posting on his internet blog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soon after the posting appeared, Mr Nair was arrested and held
in solitary confinement for several days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although a US citizen since 2005, Mr Nair was in Singapore to
observe Mr Lee's defamation action against Chee Soon Juan, who
heads the opposition Singapore Democratic Party.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The final posting on his blog before his arrest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr Nair was arrested on May 31 and, on June 2, he was charged
with insulting Judge Belinda Ang, who was presiding at the Chee
trial.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was released on June 5 and charged on June 12 with insulting
another judge over an incident that took place in 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When he was in prison Mr Nair was kept in a cell that was
illuminated around the clock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He had no bedding and had to sleep on the ground.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr Nair's case is due to go to trial this month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dr Chee has been released from prison after serving 11 days for
scandalising the court during his cross-examination of Mr Lee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists has issued a
statement expressing its concern over Mr Nair's treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Singapore's detention of Gopalan Nair for public comments about
such a highly politicised case is completely unwarranted," the
committee's Asia program co-ordinator Bob Dietz said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Freedom to criticise the judiciary is fundamental to a modern
society.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"This case illustrates the Singapore Government's ongoing
commitment to silencing opposition voices both in print and
online.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Chee case, which is at the centre of the affair, Dr Chee
personally cross-examined Mr Lee about the Singapore Government's
use of defamation law to silence its critics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under cross-examination, Mr Lee said: "There are various parts
of this Government which do not comply with Western practices,
including the law of libel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"But it is a system that has worked."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr Lee noted also that the International Bar Association had
"honoured" Singapore by holding its annual conference there last
year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The association president had said "how impressed they were by
the standards they found to obtain in the judiciary", Mr Lee
said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before moving to the US, Mr Nair had been an active member of
the Singapore Workers Party and had been found guilty of contempt
of court over a 1991 political speech.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to his blog, Mr Nair completed his legal education in
Britain and practised for 10 years in Singapore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He stood for election in 1988 and 1991 but he claims he was
harassed and persecuted for his beliefs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He is admitted to the California Bar and practises in the city
of Fremont near San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Reports &#182;81-682, Australian courts, at least, will treat defamatory
material on a server outside Australia as having been published in
Australia if it is downloaded or read by someone in Australia.
Under private international law, a plaintiff successful in

an Australian court may then enforce that judgment against a person
domiciled in the United States through the US legal
system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I think 3 million to 3.5 million will be perfect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is the population level during 1990s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not so crowded and no ERP also.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Less stress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More space.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
