2 more days..

found some interesting morsels here, some which i'm gonna post up.

The law
Teo Wee Meng, a trainer in cyber Crimes in the Criminal Investigation Department,said if there's "malicious intent", miscreants will be "charged in court, and will either be jailed or fined". However, experts believe that having laws are just one side of the coin. Said Esther: "To eliminate cyber-bullying, it will help if students know that the law in Singapore does not tolerate cyber-bullying. Knowing that cyber bullies can be prosecuted may deter people from doing so."

Statistics
Singapore has the second highest number of cyber-bullying cases after the US, says new survey. Esther Ng, founder of the Coalition Against Bullying for Children & Youth, an agency that provides resources for people to seek help on bullying issues, agreed. She cited a 2006 survey of 3,488 Singaporean students in which 25 per cent - or 872 students - admitted to having been victimised online. Another 31 per cent said that the online victimisation was in addition to physical bullying they also faced.
Citing studies published by WiredSafety.org, Poh Yeang Cherng, manager of Touch Cyber Wellness & Sports, said: "There are far more reports of cyber- bullying from Singapore on a per capita basis compared to all other countries except for the United States."

WiredSafety.org provided the information about the nunber of cases of cyberbullying in Singapore vs the US many years ago. It was never a study, but an observation based on our received reports.A study should be completed to see how this impression from years ago plays out today.As always, we welcome any collaborations in Singapore. It's one of my favorite places on earth...and there is always Chili Crab!

Best.

Well, i'm sure that, if it was studied properly, it'll be obvious that the numbers between cases of cyberbullying in singapore vs the US will be much closer, maybe even overtaking the US in position. citing from what the CID officer said, i'm sure everything on my tagboard is considered malicious, not to mention what i've been seeing on the tagboards of other blogs. definition of malicious:

1. 
   deliberately harmful: motivated by or resulting from a desire to cause harm or pain to others

i'm sure, based on the tagboard comments alone, i've already got some ground against whoever wants to take me on.

thanks to weijie, for linking the site.
