On 22 September 2010, some 20 independent information technology (IT) and legal experts have come together to provide voluntary legal information to Singapore online users of their rights and responsibilities.  The Community of Information Technology Experts (CITE) hopes that raising users’ awareness will promote their engagement with online information and communication, thus optimising the potential that the Internet can afford them over the long term.  CITE is supported by the Singapore Internet Research Centre (SiRC), which is hosted at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information at Nanyang Technological University.

CITE offers online-related legal information to individual Internet users and small businesses, whose financial circumstances and lack of resources may prohibit them from obtaining legal information elsewhere.

As part of CITE continuous efforts in raising the users’ awareness, we are conducting a blogging workshop on Saturday, 12 March 2011 with the aims to:

1) To educate bloggers about the legal and political parameters of blogging the General Elections in Singapore.

2) Participants are to produce a set of guidelines that will be posted online for other bloggers.

The workshop is designed for students, writers and editors who are not professional journalist who are not fully aware of the legal and political parameters of blogging before and during the General Elections.

中国港澳办支持港警执法 吁各界遵守法治

中国国务院港澳办,今午(29日)罕见就香港局势召开记者会,发言人杨光就近期香港反《逃犯条例》抗争指出,暴力行为抵触“一国两制”底线,支持港警执法,并呼吁各界遵守法治。 他提出三点意见:希望香港社会各界反对及抵制暴力行为;希望香港社会各界坚决守护法治;坚决支持警队严正执法及港府惩治违法者;希望香港社会尽快走出政治纷争。 杨光指出,香港近期事态演变,特别是少数激进份子采取的暴力行为,严重挑战香港法治,以及严重触碰一国两制底线,希望广大市民清醒认识事件严重性,旗帜鲜明反对和抵制暴力行为。 他认为暴力行为超出和平示威范围,并以有示威者涉及咬断警员手指为例,以及示威活动出现纵火行为,形容暴力事件正不断升级。 “(中国)中央政府坚决支持林郑带领特区政府依法施政,支持警方严正执法,支持政府有关部门和司法机构依法惩治暴力犯罪人士。” “经不起折腾” 他呼吁香港社会尽快走出政治纷争,集中精力发展经济,改善民生。 “即便香港积累不错的家底,有一些有利条件和优势,但也经不起折腾。” 他指中国政府关注香港局势,坚持“一国两制”不走样、不变形,并指香港如果继续乱下去,全社会要埋单。
