In October last year, a 4-year-old boy fell to his death from an open window that had no grilles. Back then, Mr K Shanmugam spoke up very promptly, writing on his Facebook. Mr Shanmugam was angry – and justifiably so. Still, his aggressive tone was surprising. After all, he didn't possess, at least at the time he wrote his post, all the facts pertaining to the episode.

Another dead cat has been found in Yishun yesterday at 4:30pm. The cat was found lying on a grass patch at Yishun St 11, Blk 162. It is the 3rd cat found dead this month. This comes after 2 men have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the abuse and killing of cats in the Yishun area. Witnesses or anyone with information about this recent cat killing should report it to the police immediately.

The ICA says that between January and October, there were 690 cases of Singaporeans trying to leave the country without the appropriate travel documents, including those travelling with passports that do not belong to them, expired or invalid travel documents, or no documents at all.

Shortly after the tragic death of a 4 year-old boy following his fall from a Yishun Housing Development Board (HDB) flat last week, Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam has said that he will be seeking "legal recourse" for the family.

K Shanmugam says about the haze: "The frustration of our people is all the greater because the haze can be prevented. The majority of the fires are man-made, by companies seeking to profit while people pay the costs.” It is ironic that a PAP Minister can see Indonesia’s mistake about allow its businessmen to profit at the expense of ordinary people. He is right about this. But does he see the same when the PAP allows millions of cheap 3rd world migrant workers to come in to Singapore?

Law and Foreign Affairs Minister K Shanmugam has told reporters today that he has changed his mind about filing a police report against a netizen, Sangeetha Thanapal, on Facebook, who left some “inaccurate and seditious” comments in response to the law minister's remarks about the Malaysian education system.

Law Minister K Shanmugam wrote in a Facebook post yesterday to denounce the "bullying actions" of a Caucasian man who berated a teenager on the same MRT for more than 2 minutes. Taking a surprisingly tough stance against the foreigner, Shanmugam said he hopes action will be taken against the man who was captured in the video, which was posted on A.S.S. and quickly went viral on social media.

A day after a High Court rejected MND's attempts to appoint independent auditors for Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC), Law Minister K Shanmugam followed up with hard-hitting words for the Workers’ Party.

Law Minister K Shanmugam said the rule of law is fundamental for any civilised society, and both the man arrested for slapping Amos Yee, as well as Amos Yee himself are entitled to their defence in court. Speaking at the sidelines of a community event yesterday, Mr Shanmugam said questions have also been raised as to why someone as young as Amos Yee was charged.

People may have strong feelings about Amos (or anyone else who is charged). But we have to leave it to the courts to deal with them. Taking the law into one’s own hands cannot be condoned. Rule of Law means respecting the legal process. If everyone starts taking the law into his or her own hands, then we will no longer be a civilised society. I hope that the attacker will be caught quickly, and is dealt with appropriately.
