Singapore Blogger Escapes Jail
Nick Farrell writes in The Inquirer:
A 17-year-old Singaporean student has been placed on probation for two years for posting anti-Muslim remarks on his weblog.
Gan Huai Shi, who had admitted posting inflammatory remarks about Malay Muslims was also ordered to do 180 hours of community service. Shi was one of three who were faced sedition charges over comments on their various blogs.
Benjamin Koh, 28, was given two concurrent one-month jail terms while Nicholas Lim, 25, was jailed for one day and fined 5000 Singapore dollars after they pleaded guilty to making strong anti-Muslim remarks.
