SINGAPORE: A Facebook user who threatened to "open fire" on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community was charged on Thursday (Jun 30) for encouraging violence towards the LGBT community in Singapore.

On Jun 4, Bryan Lim wrote that he wanted to “open fire” and “protect his nation” in response to a post on foreign funding of Pink Dot, an annual event organised in support of the LGBT community.

“I am a Singaporean citizen. I am a NSman. I am a father. And I swore to protect my nation,” the 36-year-old Lim wrote on Jun 4. “Give me the permission to open fire. I would like to see these £@€$^*s die for their causes.”

After his comment made the rounds on social media, several Facebook users lodged police reports against him. “This man made an open threat of violence to a specific group of Singaporeans if given the opportunity,” Mr Stanley Tan wrote on the Facebook page of the Singapore Police Force. “Would this be considered an internal terrorist act?”

Lim subsequently apologised for his strongly worded comment, claiming that it had been "taken out of context".

"I did not mean physical bullets nor physical death,” he wrote. "I mean open fire in debate and remove them from Singapore domestic matters."

His case will be mentioned again on Aug 4, and investigations are still ongoing. Lim's desktop, laptop and phone have been seized, and the judge has set bail at S$10,000. 

For communicating an incitement to violence via the Internet, Lim could be jailed up to five years, fined, or both.

Hope he will repent and become more pro LGBT. Maybe assign him as one of Pink dot ambassador for next year event.  

 

On the contrary, he will probably become even more anti LGBT after this episode.

But imagine if he had gotten away with this.  The anti-LGBT camp led by the likes of Lawrence Khong and Yang Tuck Yoong would be emboldened to continue sliming the gay community.

 

The ISD and SPF should now proceed to investigate Lawrence Khong.  Arrest him, confiscate his laptop, handphone and personal belongings, and sift through them for seditious material.

My heart cracked upon hearing the news...Bryan is overdue for heart surgery...somehow his artery which is supposed to pump blood has stopped production...leaving him void of all human love & kindness...

I will gladly volunteer to give him CPR to resuscitate his heart which has gone cold...or worst case scenario,

He didn't look remorseful from the above photo.  Besides, is he trying to insult the intelligence of the populace by claiming his true intent to be otherwise?  I won't be surprised if his destop and laptop are full of naked and porn stuff.

 

I am watching closely with the development of the case.  Orlando killings is not a small matter and I hope this chap shouldn't be taken lightly for his remarks and tones of revenge.

His laptop will definitely contain straight porn, or URLs of straight porn sites.

 

And by the way - a BIG HI and WELCOME to all the WAAPD folks reading this!

He claimed to mean "open fire in debate" but then followed by "I would like to see these £@€$^*s die for their causes.” What the fuck?

Lame excuse la, same old shit from the anti-Pinkdot ilk and Lawrence Khong.

Canon Singapore should just sack this trigger-happy violence-prone employee already.

A very horrible parent ! Bad example for his children to learn how to discriminate others !

 

Gay parents have to satisfy adoption eligibility tests and pass tests to prove that they can be good parents.

Straight people like Bryan Lim (that violence-espousing anti-Pinkdotter) doesn't need to pass any tests, he just fucks and shoots.

What kind of example can he set for his children?

Why didn't Orlando's tragedy get into his brain, maybe he ought to learn the lesson the hard way.

 

Jail and fine him for causing grave panic to the LGBT community!

 

Felt threatened.. if one man can hold this thought, how many more are there out there...? :(

Guest HOMOcidal neanderthal

From the start of police reports being made against him to being charged in court, he got 2 weeks' time to wipe his hard disk drives and mobile phone memory clean of (any) gay porn or radical thoughts.

 

The entire exercise of arresting and charging him seemed to be merely perfunctory.

 

There is a dfference between HOMOcide and homocide here after all. *Shrugs

 

Ps: mods don't censore me again har i toned down already ok! Thank u hor.

A person may dislike another's belief and lifestyle.  

We cannot please everyone, including this father of two.  

Yes, he may be furious but that is NOT a reason to gun us down.  

 

In this age and time, any words of threat found in the Internet CAN stand as evidence.  

He should be NOT penalised with a fine but rather, a sentence of community service order.

He must bite the bullet and humbly "volunteer" himself to social works - assisting the less privileged by doing household chores, painting their flats etc.

You think got people dare to engage him to do housework meh? He might turn psycho with the kitchen knives! Better just deport him to the middle east war zone. With his neanderthal mindset, I'm sure he'll blend in perfectly with the culture there.

He may opt to do community service in LK church :P

 

ST reported a case in 2012, man posted online an incitement to violence on National Day 2010, he was initially fined $6000, but prosecutor appealed and he was jailed 2months instead.

Watch out people ..the anti pinkdot pple are definitely in this forum to see what we say..anyway I doubt he is remorseful .this episode would cause more hatred for us..hopefully may justice prevail.

He as a parent and educator  should set a good example instead. Lots of these selfrighteous parents are in the waapd fb too.

Simple, any seditious or inflammatory comments, just report to the police.

Also monitor Lawrence Khong, Yang Tuck Yoong and Rony Tan's Facebook too.

Bryan Lim Sian Yang has made it to Latin American news:

Tribunal de Singapur juzga a homofóbico por amenazas de muerte PDF Print E-mail
 

Singapur, 30 jun (PL) Un tribunal de Singapur juzgó hoy a un hombre acusado de anunciar a través de las redes sociales su deseo de abrir fuego contra una manifestación homosexual.

El ciudadano singapurense Bryan Lim Sian Yang de 38 años de edad, se opuso a la reunión de homosexuales y publicó que deseaba dispararles y verles morir.

Los jueces a cargo del caso pospusieron la audiencia para el 4 de agosto y aseveraron que, de hallarse culpable, Lim se enfrentará a cinco años de prisión o una severa multa, en el mejor de los casos.

Tras el revuelo provocado por sus comentarios, Lim se disculpó públicamente y aseguró que fue un malentendido, que cuando dijo abrir fuego no se refirió a balas reales ni a la muerte de nadie, sino a un debate.

Aun así, sus palabras se interpretaron como expresiones de odio y violencia contra sectores sociales que difieren al resto en cuanto a orientación sexual.

Ese incidente se produjo a pocas semanas de que medio centenar de personas muriera en Florida, Estados Unidos, tras la incursión de un hombre armado en un club nocturno muy popular entre la comunidad homosexual.
