PoThePanda's CID/ISD Lim Kopi Session

PoThePanda said:

On the 02/03/2009, I was picked up from my house at about 11am by 4 persons who identified themselves as CID.They claimed they were investigating a post on Molotov Cocktails that I had posted on the forum Stomp. With regards to this particular allegation, I wish to state that I had posted an article on Molotov Cocktails on Stomp sometime late last year. The article was copied and pasted from Wikipedia, and was posted up for information value due to its appearance in the popular game Left 4 Dead. 2-3 weeks AFTER I posted the article, the MP Seng Han Thong got burnt. Apparently, someone made a police report that I had instigated the old man to burn the MP, via posting that article.

I was driven back to Cantonment Complex and subjected to an interrogation by these persons. Chief among them was 1 who identified himself as Sebastian, supposedly from the ISD.

To those who claimed to "celebrate bloggers' independent voices" (Blogout! ’09), "dedicated to protecting its members" (Association of Bloggers (Singapore)) — are you now going to swallow your own slogans?"

In tandem with some other incidents I know of, it leads me to suspect that the justice system is being abused by people in order to settle personal scores....

Some fucking dinosaurs still think they can do things the old way.

Like how they kept Chia Thye Poh locked up for 20+ yrs. For what? For nothing. We have the world record #1 longest serving political prisoner.

The debacle of Mas Selamat has not decreased the determination of the ISD to become an embarrassment to all Singaporeans.

sounds familiar, but it was another agency with the so called "unlimited" power.
Hardly surprising why Singaporeans suddenly becomes very quiet when the hounds are let loose. PoThe Panda should just ask them WTF happened to Mas Selemat.

That would be take a brave man to do it. It would be great but that just opens up another line of fire, as in "who is he to you and what do you know about Mas Selamat?" Suddenly you're in there because of another trumped up "terrorism" charge.

Singaporeans are stupid. The internet is one big hound bashing machine and they still don't realise it yet. You can say whatever the fuck you want so long as you don't say it on a gahment website like STOMP. I wonder what the hell PoThePanda was thinking.

dude. stop being so naive. That's what they really do.
I know of someone who was being brought back to the police station because of suspected theft. They did the same thing to make him confess when he's innocent.

That's how they work, when they can't find sufficient evidence, to speed up the closing of case.

Darn. I posted an article on Coulomb's law two weeks before the Merlion was strike by lightning. I think CID/ISD is going to bring me in as a suspect for questioning.

the think to do is to boycott Stomp. do not give them any legitmancy.

so an insane old man is surfing stomp for recipes to make a molotov cocktail? even assuming that he is literate in English AND knows how to use a computer AND is surfing on know-h0ws to make molotov cocktails, i seriously doubt he would have been redirected to Stomp's webpage.

I was for the ISD but am having serious doubts if its being abused for political ends. what a fucking disgrace.

To say that they are doing this for political ends is to pay them too much respect. There are no more political ends. They have ceased to be relevant. Their life's work has amounted to nothing. Any mother's son in front of a computer can spit on them and they can't do anything anymore.

What this is, it's a desperate last gasp to stay relevant and maybe show their superiors that they are in this for some other purpose than to fill the estab. Ever since the halcyon days of the "Marxist conspiracy" it's been one long slide down the chute towards irrelevance.

Catch no balls... That Sebastian handsome or not? Want help acting for Scope?
Looking for babes as well~

Hi have asked someone with contacts in departments Po alleges was investigating him, was told that ISD was never on this guy's case. If ISD was used on him, he would have been taken back into custody for doing an interview like this. Also, ISD does not interview at Cantonement, they do it at Whitley. This is so that ordinary criminals don't get to see who ISD officers are. And they also don't wear ISD tags.

This story seems to have been fabricated....

I guess that's where all your tax payer's money is going to. First you need somebody to fuck up, and then after that you need the fuck up to post more of their fucked up shit on your forums, so that their cock ups can be white washed.

Supposing he was interrogated by the CID, but he believed that it was the ISD. Does it change the gist of the story? Does that make ptp a liar?

Are we to believe that this guy knows somebody from the ISD who knows everything that is going on in ISD? And are we to believe that a person from the ISD who knows everything is going to tell you anything just because you ask him? And frankly speaking, suppose an ISD person was in front of you and told you something. Would you believe him?

Now you go back to the original article and see all the comments there that refute the charges against the ISD. A lot of them are curiously knowledgeable about all the protocols. Either they have been detained before or ...

Whitley detention centre is only for terrorists, because that place is like a sieve. If you want to detain your own subversive citizens, you will put him in maximum security. One terrorist flies away, never mind. Our citizens have to have the best security because they deserve the best.

Our national security is in the hands of a bunch of fools who have recession proof jobs. Oh by the way April 15 is coming soon. Pls remember to file your taxes so these fuck ups can get paid.
