Rapper Subhas Nair sentenced to jail for attempting to promote ill will between races and religions

Singaporean rapper Subhas Nair, 31, was given a six-week prison term on Tuesday( Sept. 5 ) for trying to incite animosity among racial and religious groups through online posts.

Nair, who goes by the whole name Subhas Govin Prabhakar, was found guilty in July of four for charges in connection with remarks he made about races and religions between July 2019 and March 2021.

According to his attorney, Mr. Suang Wijaya, he intends to charm his sentence and paragraph and maintains his sincerity.

District Judge Shaiffudin Saruwan concurred with the trial that punishment for like offenses” takes on a greater value in the age of social media and the internet ,” as ill-intentioned racist emails can be almost instantly transmitted to an audience.

He continued by saying that such messages harm community as a whole, not just the targeted racial or religious organizations.

The four offenses for which Nair was found guilty involved a YouTube video in which he and Preetipls, his sister, sang the song” Chinese people always out heref *** ing it up.”

The police issued him a two-year provisional alert for this, but he offended them by making comments on social media.

He wrote:” If two Malay Muslims made a video promoting Islam and saying the kinds of hateful things these Chinese Christians said, ISD( Internal Security Department ) would have been at the door before they even hit” upload.” He made this comment in response to two Christians who had linked the gay pride movement to Satan.

In a different affair, Nair posted on Instagram about Chan Jia Xing’s press interview, in which he was given the provisional warning for having reduced the charge of consorting with someone who was armed. Seven people were initially accused of killing a person at Orchard Towers, including Chan.

According to Nair,” calling out racism and Chinese opportunity” equated to a two-year conditional warning and” smear campaign in the internet ,” whereas” actually conspiring to murder an American man” equaled half the word and the question” you’re having blunder right now”? ” Boy or girl ,” a media report.

Commentary: How not to misread Singapore voters and the Presidential Election outcome

THE PRESIDENT’S PART IN LEADERSHIP TRANSITION

Management succession and renewal will also be prominent topics in the upcoming general election. At the National Day Rally in August, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong declared that succession ideas that had been derailed by the pandemic are now back on track.

Lawrence Wong, the deputy prime minister, may take advantage of Mr. Tharman’s counsel and advice if the PAP holds onto power in the upcoming general election. On Saturday, Mr. Tharman stated that he recognizes the government’s part in this change in leadership and that was one of the motivations behind his nomination for the position.

According to Mr. Tharman,” Sydney society and politics are changing, and I believe we can make that work.” The president and the new prime minister does have a positive relationship.

In the face of a more diverse and competitive social landscape, the Tharman presidency does serve as an additional anchor for balance and unity during the democratic transition.

National ELECTION IN Republican Conditions WAS NOT SEEN BY VOTERS.

Singaporeans abandoned their political allegiances and did not cast political ballots in this year’s presidential vote. Help from all political parties was needed for Mr. Tharman’s impressive performance.

Citizens today have a better understanding of the functions and authority of government thanks to the more focused efforts made on public education in the lead-up to voting.

Simply put, voters refused to view the election in terms of political partisanship because the president is not intended to be a substitute for political strength. Rather, they concentrated on the candidates’ backgrounds, what they would take to the president, and how the two can collaborate for the benefit of Singapore and Singaporeans.

Hence, it would be gravely incorrect to infer from the election results that the ruling party should hold a general election as soon as possible. Mr. Tharman is correct when he says that the ballot results are” a vote of confidence in Singapore” rather than just” voting for him.”

Party, state, and state were not interchangeable by voters. They also didn’t view the national poll as a stand-in for the general election.

The fifth Presidential Election signals the presence of a powerful, discriminating electorate. Time is of the essence for all political parties to get ready for the next General Election with less than two decades left in the 14th Parliament’s name.

The PAP in power has their work cut out as they try to win a new mission from Singaporeans in what looks to be an important election.

Eugene K. B. Tan, a law professor at Singapore Management University, was previously nominated for the House of Representatives.

According to new Defense Minister Sutin Klungsang, defense reform will proceed with conscription eventually phased out and the military forces anticipated to be significantly leaner within four years.

According to Mr. Sutin, the military is currently undergoing a restructuring program, particularly the initiative to exchange conscription with deliberate enlistment. Government assistance is needed, though, to expedite the voluntary program and live up to common objectives.

He claimed that while better welfare benefits and pay raises may serve as incentives to enlist, it is also important to address the negative public perceptions of the army that lead to young men avoiding conscription.

Although instances of coaching cruelty that resulted in injuries or even deaths are uncommon, the defense minister claimed that when they do occur, it attracts a lot of attention. He did, however, add that the number of soldiers can also be reduced as much as it has no impact on the operations of the armed forces.

He added that the plan to reduce the number of generals in order to thin the troops did proceed. The new chancellor stated that he anticipates efforts to reduce the troops will be made in four years.

Mr. Sutin declared that he would provide the war with all of his assistance in carrying out its restructuring plan. He did, however, add that he hasn’t already spoken with the top brass about the specifics of the transformation.

After the oath-taking service and government policy statement in parliament, Mr. Sutin promised to resolve the controversy regarding the navy’s decision to construct its submarine in China using a Chinese-made CHD620 engine rather than one made in Germany.

While declining to state whether the torpedo procurement scheme may be completely scrapped, he stated that the solution may be acceptable to both the navy and the general public.

Thaksin's lawyer mulls parole bid

Thaksin's lawyer mulls parole bid
Thaksin: Return to prison is” questionable.”

Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister who was imprisoned, is also exhausted and is considering applying for word once more, according to his attorney, Winyat Chartmontree.

Thaksin, 74, has been receiving treatment at the Police General Hospital’s advanced hospital since August 23 after experiencing neck pain, hypertension, and lower blood oxygen saturation while incarcerated in the Bangkok Remand Prison after 15 years of self-exile worldwide.

Thaksin was recently sentenced by the Supreme Court to offer eight years in prison, but on September 1, he was granted a royal pardon, making him ready for just one year of detention, according to an announcement in the Royal Gazette.

Thaksin also has exhaustion, according to Mr. Winyat, but he is talkative. His returning to prison is questionable because a routine medical examination is also required.

Mr. Winyat stated, citing his serious illness and advanced age as the main justifications,” I am today considering seeking Thaksin’s basic parole.”

According to Mr. Winyat, if the detainee’s condition satisfies the requirements of the Correction Act or the Ministry Notification, public parole may be granted.

However, the outcome of the discussion between the Justice Ministry and the Department of Correction ( DoC ) on these issues is up to them.

According to Mr. Winyat, Thaksin has the potential to obtain both general parole and probation, as well as the use of an electronic monitoring ( EM ) device.

If[ Thaksin]’ s condition satisfies all requirements and exceptions, I will do my best to defend his rights as a prisoner ,” Mr. Winyat declared.

He stated that if Thaksin is granted pardon, he may not be able to predict where the detainee did reside because that is a matter for his family to decide.

Thaksin may request a royal pardon granted on aristocratic holidays, according to Mr. Winyat, but it is up to the level of his confinement to determine whether he is qualified for the following one.

Informant 'stuck in the middle' of cops' bribery spat with gang
Authorities source Jang Talat Phlu

After claiming to have been threatened by officers and a drug ring he had exposed in Bangkok, the police agent turned to an emergency answer Facebook page for assistance.

A deputy chief inspector by the name of Poo Kong Pong( Pol Capt. ) is in charge of the police gang.

He claimed that out of fear for his life, he turned to the Facebook website known as the Sai Mai Tong Rod, known for its active role in assisting people during the Covid – 19 evacuations.

After police raided a home in Soi Taksin 19 in the Thon Buri district in August of last year, where they detained the custodian and took 100,000 ice tablets, Mr. Jang explained to the webpage administrator that he was in an extremely precarious situation.

Soon after the attack, Mr. Jang claimed to have received a call from Coke Bovi asking him to convince the authorities gang not to detain the drug owner. In exchange for not filing a police report, the law demanded one million baht, which the landlord later haggled down to 500, 000 ringgit.

Before paying the reward, Mr. Jang claimed to have recorded the telephone conversation between the police group and the drug dealer.

Earlier this month, police continued to detain Coke Bovi, prompting the businessman of the bribe to contact Mr. Jang and demand payment. Mr. Jang claimed that he had planned to meet with Pol Capt. Pong at a nightclub in Talat Phlu to explain the refund but had rather sent his friend out of fear of being caught.

When Mr. Jang threatened to release music of the earlier reward being discussed, Pol Capt Pong finally gave in after detaining the friend and refusing to return the money. Since then, Pol Capt Pong and his crew have terrorized his family, according to Mr. Jang, who also claimed that the drug cartel was pestering him for payment.

6.7km tunnel pondered for expressway

The plan has a B36 billion cost tag.

After conducting a 17-month initial feasibility study, the Expressway Authority of Thailand ( Exat) has suggested an underground way to replace an unpopular portion of the N1 Expressways growth.

Exat government Surachet Laophulsuk stated on Monday that the subway was the most practical option after taking into account a number of factors, including engineering, investment costs, and economic impact.

The 6.7 km subway, which will serve as the nation’s first expressway tunnel, may connect Prasertmanukit Road with the N2 Expressway after traveling along Ngarmwongwan Road via Phongphet, Bang Khen, and Kaset Intersections.

He claimed that out of the three options under consideration, the hole has an overall rating of 82.5, an estimated 36 billion baht expense, and a 17 % internal economic return rate.

According to him, Exat is in great financial shape and is thinking about investing in the task itself. He also said the organization might think about issuing bonds to raise money for the building.

According to Mr. Surachet, the environmental impact assessment will be completed in May of the following year and submitted for government approval. Construction is expected to follow the following season, with a bidder tentatively scheduled for 2026.

Design is anticipated to take around five years, and in the first year of operation, the route’s complete daily traffic volume is estimated to be 70, 000 vehicles.

He expressed assurance that those who were concerned about the previous design’s environmental impact would approve the proposed subway.

According to Mr. Surachet, the three-phase road development’s north portion is split into two stages.

With a size of 11.3 miles and an expenditure of 16.9 billion baht, the second step, N2, connects Prasertmanukit Road to the northeast Outer Ring Road. The new government will soon receive the completed project for acceptance.

Following discussions with Kasetsart University and communities along the planned way, N1 Exat has carried out a feasibility study of alternate routes to remove the contentious area and develop the subway for the next stage.

The law mandates that the ministers swear in in front of His Majesty the King. Before the authorities can begin working after they are sworn in, it must make a policy speech in parliament on September 11.

” Deputy Prime Minister and deputy Pheu Thai leader Phumtham Wechayachai said several times that it [ office ] had come at a high cost during the prime ministerial vote and the appointment of cabinet ministers.”

However, I want to fix this. Basically, it’s not about paying a lot of money. Pheu Thai is making every effort to… It involves committing ourselves to serving the needs of the populace. I think everyone is aware that this is the most crucial issue right now.

There are also financial considerations, but I don’t want them to prevent us from working. I think there are a number of quick-win tasks we can carry out to improve the situation of people.

Anything that can be implemented quickly should be done initially. We may not state what we cannot do when we are around people. We were elected, and we should be able to accomplish points, according to Mr. Srettha.

The Pheu-Thai-led government’s plan platform, which includes its campaign headlining electronic handout, is expected to be closely examined by some senators, according to Sen. Wannai Sornsiri on Monday.

Within the next three to six months, we want to see if the state may keep the commitments it made prior to the election. Sen. Wanchai stated that the senators would hit the government to guarantee that it would be able to keep its word.

Sen Wanchai claimed that Pheu Thai had stated that the monarchy-related section of the constitution would not be changed in response to his attempt to alter it.

However, the group said the things outside of parliament. We may request a distinct encouragement from the party in parliament, he said.
