New proposed Act gives more powder to our police, you should feel safer soon

I keep wondering. Why HDB recently installed CCTV in my block’s lifts, without even a simple FYI to the resident. It is of course, for security purposes. Silly. Mas Selamat is still at large. He is very likely… still in Singapore. We should keep our eye open.

Thinking of this, I can totally understand why there is a need to regulate outdoor activities.

News - New Act Aims To Give More Power to Police.

Hmm.. more power to police is a good thing. You can never know. Nowadays, fanatic are very resourceful, they can pass immigration undetected, disguise as good, obedient citizen and then organize a seemingly innocence fellowship at East Coast. Just waiting to disrupt our social order. Good thinking.

I am also intrigue by the coverage of this Act - “The order can also be issued pre-emptively, meaning police can intervene if they assess that an offence is about to be committed.” Strike first, prove later. Very efficient. Something like ISA. Right?

Link to the proposed Act here – (Link)

But I must protest here. I like to take video at my children’s school leh! With the new act, it may not be so convenience for me.

I have a suggestion. Why not make all proven good citizen wear an “innocence” hand-band so police cannot anyhow spot check them. That would make us safer.

Musician released all his work online before time for free download

Chris Zabriskie is musician who believes that music should be heard before people decide whether to purchase. He leaked all his albums online via BT before their release date. He said on his site,

“Was I paying for the right to listen to that record? The temporary license, as it were? The industry says yes, I say no. I can find that record anytime I want to online and listen and no one is going to come after me (not even Alan, I'll bet). But I was paying for the convenience, and I was supporting the artist. And that's the best way to look at something like iTunes. Some people just really like the convenience. Who needs a bunch of plastic discs cluttering up the house, when they're just going to my iPod? And even though BitTorrent is second nature to me now, the majority of the world doesn't use it, doesn't understand it, and doesn't want to bother with it, especially since iTunes downloads fast, immediately, and directly to your iTunes library and iPod. Simple.”

“I've uploaded my entire discography to the website here as mp3s, which you can have. On the Records page, you'll find each of my records as a zip file containing high quality, V0 mp3s, plus artwork.”
