Select Committee hearings: Shanmugam and Facebook on misuse of data by Cambridge Analytica 

Battle of the shiniest forehead.

That's called "True Minister" which every nation needs.

When you are angry, you can't anything right. Look at how eloquent is our leader.

Mr Shamugam shows the way to arrogant FB representative : FB Twitter even Google needs to be taught good lesson ...

Shanmugam rips through the arrogance of the FB executive who thinks he is talking to a child. He is your daddy. 🔥

Plug-out internet and plug-in intranet. Problem solve! The party in power can feed the citizens what ever it deem the truth.

The facebook guy did very well, candid open and clear

Both of their foreheads are brighter than my future!

I agree totally with Simon Milner

Make facebook pay out any profits they had gained. Facebook only cares about the bottom line, and they let this happen so their bottom line could grow

if you can arrest someone without a trial under the ISD Act is it fake news? If is not, then why not an open trial?

The Cambridge Analytica issue is about stealth of 'personal confidential data' and not about 'fake news' . How one could conveniently mix up a 'stealth data' issue with a 'fake news' issue is quite bewildering to me.

No they are not obligated to protect users as the service they give is free. If a 3rd party entity breach someones data the one securing it didnt break your trust because they did not intentionally want it to happen to. Unless you went on with a contract with a claus if breach happens then the one securing it is responsible. When robbers rob a bank it doesnt mean the bank owner did it. Data breach by whom side is what you need to realize. If a person enters his or her info in the internet its already over. This digital problem made politicians a bit paranoid because they get affected but have no power over it. The misuse of data however is hard to prove but with CA standpoint in industry many people know what they really do. A politician talking about trust issue isnt actually good.

when i speak fr heart I need not fear pap minister i dont live life with unnecessary fear i may not hv great fantastic education but i live with great education but cannot b dictate by evil wicked people telling I cant go far i must help Singaporea n to dare to rise n conquer bless happy new yeat 2023

Before his sudden elevation to ministerial level in the Singapore government, Mr Shanmugam was a lawyer who defended several members of the infamous High Society Cocaine Circle. One of them Dinesh Singh Bhatia, a private equity investor and son of former High Court judge Amarjeet Singh. A first offender, he was facing a jail sentence of up to 18 months for drug use. His supplies were provided by notorious drug baron, Tunisian Guiga Lyes Ben Laroussi. Defending Bhatia, Shanmugam claimed his client was not an addict and had been given the drug by a friend. Though he had 'a fleeting suspicion' the substance could be illegal, 'he took it on impulse, but did not know it was cocaine' he had just stuck up his nose when caught in the act. This nonsense persuaded the kindly judge to finally give this favoured son a prison sentence of only 8 months half of which was spent at home apparently wearing a bracelet. Meanwhile several simple drug mules were hanged for trafficking drug into Singapore - drugs that might possibly have ended up Bhatia's nostrils . This is just one of the many scandals I exposed in my book Once a Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice in the Dock which resulted in my arrest and prison sentence for 'scandalising the judiciary.' This is not fake news - but it's the kind of real news that frightens the life out of Shanmugam and the PAP dictatorship.

This man, Simon Milner, Facebook’s Vice President of Public Policy for the Asia-Pacific, is very arrogant.

Shut down Facebook already, hell lot of promotions and ads

Consultation becomes Interrogation… 😂

STOP SAYING BREACHED OF TRUST!!! It's breached of everything at this point.

Attorney has the most arrogant aura in the room 👍

You use you lose.

well done Minister

Their foreheads are so shining I have to wear shades watching this.

wait a minute. looking at the comments here, i disagree that Shanmugam came out on top. should have grilled that guy harder

Case Study: when Singapore direct Singlish kills English native speaker

I wish Singapore was represented by someone more articulate. Mr Shanmugam is no doubt a legal luminary, but very inarticulate. Just look at comparable hearings in the US to see what I mean. Sen Warren questioning the Wells Fargo CEO would trigger nightmares for Wall Street CEOs. I'd have loved to see something similar.

7:22 I don’t know what is it about Mr Milner’s features from his eyebrows up, they are like another species from another planet which I can’t stop staring at. look at the way his eyebrows arch and in such an angle! look at all those lines above his eyebrow.

Sry for not commenting, this is heavily monitored

I dont have Facebook , am I immune to their data theft .

I really cannot comprehend this. What was supposed to be a consultation, a feedback session, to provide suggestions to Singapore's legislative intention turned out to be a mini court trial. In fact, the outcome was there at the outset; that "there needs to be better safeguards, internal controls, if you may, for the sharing of data to third party application providers." There is really no need for this.

QUIT FACEBOOK.

Shanmugam may be despicable but I have to say I'm quite impressed with how calm he is and he rephrased his sentences just to calm the reactive dude.

Mr Shanmugam slices anyone working against Singapore interest. Indians doing proud outside India. In India we are struggling with Anti CAA rogues. This sets difference between developed and developing countries.

Really admire Mr K Shanmugam for his professionalism and dignity.

Now see this, only for show. Together one.

Is this a Select Committee or a Court of Law? Is someone getting charged here? Thought it's consultation, not confrontation.

This FB guy is very arrogant and very evasive. From this session, somehow see the sight of our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, how he managed this kind of issue before and never lost in law suit. Mr K Shanmugam is indeef very very composed, very very sharp and verry very systematic. This is a top-notch lawyer , Minister For Law who heads Ministry of Law. Singapore is so blessed. Saw a TV interview before that Mr Shanmugam is specifically interviewed and recruited by Mr Lee Kuan Yew. So do not challenge Singapore's Law if you are here to stay.

This Minister was actually a lawyer????

Ooh!!! Dear ......

Shamugan's way of talking is so convoluted. Deliberate right?

FB will hire Roy Cohn if he is still alive, and this would have been easy.

Will he do for Tik Tok soon..!?

From first introduced until now I never use fb before. Because there’s totally no privacy! Your boss are secretly watching your ex know where are you your mother knows who you date your husband knows your past bf.. totally stupid idea to put your life up to public! And I also don’t understand why some people is so comfortable enough to post racist or stupid remakes and thought no one is watching! Some mp even did that. So stupid!

Everyone praising : Shan Me: all I see is a bully

let me rephrase

The reasoning which Singapore runs by is definitely not what I deem a "reasonable person" would think of at all. The FB guy clearly made his stand and is holding it up, willing to even admit the flaws within the system. Besides, so many points were made that the foreign guy disagreed. Where is the capacity to engage in the dialogue fairly and give the opponent the ability to reconstruct the way you think, if there are indeed errors or shortsightedness? Isnt that the foundation of all learning and true dialogue? Are we arbitrators of all that is fair and logical? I dont think this is right.

Where are all the comments?

When he argue his points with Singaporean, he can say whichever he likes. But with foreigners he is been tear apart. Singaporean cannot argue with him even he talk nonsense.

Blah blah blah just for show only.

I wish Shanmugam was India's Finance Minister. His questions literally f**d the Gora Angrej babu

I feel like the white guy's eyebrows are on neutral position

Simon miler say with respect , but his expression say other wise. Then he proceed to mention 4.1 (0.19%) million out of 2. 1 billion. Did he wanna say he can ignore Singapore market and insignificant??? Lol. I could * politely and responsibly* say what he answer here and what the outcome from Singapore here. Will be follow by SEA nation. That is apx. 300 million of your company user, ard 13%. Word of advice, withstanding the user %. Isn't it always be good to be polite when speaking to your client. Maybe Mr. Simon, have been intimated by Mr. Sham. And forget all this manner.

Sneaky... "Let me rephrase several times" just goes to show

Mr Shanmugan is not prepared or qualified in this matter

😆 shan is a law legend

Dont mess with lawyers
