- Title
SEDITIOUS IN SINGAPORE! FREE SPEECH AND THE OFFENCE OF PROMOTING ILL-WILL AND HOSTILITY BETWEEN DIFFERENT RACIAL GROUPS.
- Authors
Neo, Jaclyn Ling-Chien
- Abstract
The article examines the laws of sedition designed to counteract free speech and offence by ill-will and hostility to racial and religious groups in Singapore. It explores the manner in which seditious laws have been summoned to restrain offensive speech on race and/or religion. It argues that the situation and state of the law is problematic for its adverse effect on free speech and its conceptual confusions with alternatives for restraining offensive speech and promoting community integration.
