Man charged for inciting violence on Facebook

A JOBLESS man allegedly posted a video clip of former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat’s assassination to the Facebook page of socio-political website Temasek Review, calling for such an event to be re-enacted here.

Gary Yue Mun Yew, 36, has also been accused of posting, on his own Facebook page last year, a doctored photograph of a Vietnamese soldier holding a gun to the head of then Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng, whose head had been superimposed onto the original image.

Yue, who allegedly committed the offences in his Marine Parade home, is due back in court on Thursday.

Under the law, whoever is convicted of making or communicating an electronic record containing an incitement to violence shall be punished with up to five years’ jail, a fine or both.
