I'm no lawyer, but I am really confused as to what they could possibly charge him with.

I've been back to reading Rockson ever since Tym posted up his first GE-related post.

"The other big loser is the cheebye Singapore newspaper like PAP Times and Mediacocksucker TV station like Channel News of PAP Only. After this election, no people want to believe you now. The internet show you all as Big Gahmen Running Dog. Maybe the auntie and the old man still will read you and believe you. But the new generation not just will read you less and less, and watch you less and less, they will never believe you fucker again."

Someone mentioned to me about a "parallel universe" existing on the Internet which the Straits Times didn't know about, but which could affect the paper badly. I doubt very much that ST doesn't know about it, although it does get a bit strange when they report news that have been circulating on the net for a couple of days.

It will be interesting to see if there will be any effect, and if the numerous political bloggers will receive any attention from the government.
