The Online Citizen (TOC) just put out a Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/theonlinecitizen, that a James Raj is being investigated for offences under the Computer Misuse Act and it is believed that the police are investigating him in relation to the actions of "The Messiah".
Nothing done online is truly anonymous. Just connecting to the Internet gives you an unique IP address and there is also the MAC address of your network card.
Have the recent hacking cases been solved? Once the mainstream media starts reporting on this information, guess the local community searches are going to explode with the terms of "James Raj", "Anonymous" and "The Messiah" once again as people try to figure out who this character really is.
It will be interesting to see if a guilty verdict carries the death penalty as a report the The New Paper appeared to have had reported (http://www.tnp.sg/content/experts-threat-very-serious-matter).

Wage Shock Therapy for Town Council Cleaners?
Just last year in 2012, during the May Day Rally, PM Lee said "No" to wage shock therapy proposed by Lim Chong Yah and The Straits Times reported National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) secretary-general Lim Swee Say on Friday said raising wages for the lower-income strata in Singapore would be a “very risky” move.
Professor Lim, who chaired the National Wages Council from 1972 to 2001, had proposed raising the monthly salaries of workers who earn $1,500 or less by 50 per cent over three years, while freezing the wages of those who earn monthly incomes of $15,000 or more for the same period to help to close Singapore’s growing income gap.
While there was an outright rejection at the point of Prof Lim's proposal of the radical approach, it appears that his proposal has actually taken root in government policies though it has not been referred to as "wage shock".
While the tripartite partners appear to be pushing for a different approach, the Progressive Wage Model, the execution of it appears to be equally shocking as well.
In recent days, the mainstream media has been constantly priming us for price increases. Consumers are being told that costs are rising as manpower remains tight, more needs to be paid for better service and such.
Out of the blue, the Town Councils can sign an MOU to raise cleaners' wages to by 20% from $1000 to $1200 despite not having undergone any trainings or significant improvements in efficiency.
"We would like to increase productivity, improve their skills and their salaries, so as to provide better services for our residents," said Dr Teo Ho Pin, coordinating chairman of the PAP-run town councils. Please show us the improvements before raising our service and conservancy fees again.

Straits Times Hacked?
Cryptic message left by Anonymous
"22 66 5e 7b a8 68 c9 0d f3 f0 47 c9 d2 e5 4a 33 02 be 20 f4 15 29 5e 7b 76 12 8d 5f 1f dd 59 44"
Looks hexadecimal. What is the cleartext answer or it is just random crap?
