Two bloggers charged under Sedition Act over racist remarks

I'm extremely displeased with what has happened. Two blogers charged under Sedition Act over racist remarks? What the hell.

Racism is wrong, but being charged for voicing your opinion over the internet is wrong? You get charged for it? It's totally stupid. What's wrong with this country. Singapore wants to reach a international standard, but it would never come till people voice out their opinion. I guess the reason why many people don't dare to voice their opinions is because "The government will charge me! I'll get jailed." or "Later police come and catch me how?". I don't know, this may lead to poeple who swear vulgarities or critising the government to be landed in jail.

THe internet is a public place of information etc. No one is governing it. Why should Singapore be taking such a stance to these two bloggers? They may have posted racist remarks, but who are you to charge them? These two bloggers use their blog to voice their opinion. Look, it's VOICING their opinion. Charging them is definetely power abuse.

I'm still young, and maybe still inmature to understand the reason they get charged.
