Talk:Lee Hsien Loong

Photograph

The following photograph of Lee Hsien Loong has been uploaded to Commons:

• Lee Hsien Loong.jpg

This photograph was submitted by PAP Teck Ghee and is pending verification. Although photos can typically be used pending verification, I strongly advise that this photo only be used once verification is complete because the metadata indicates that the copyright holder is the Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI) of Singapore.

@Kohlrabi Pickle: If it especially concerns the government with regards to potential misuse of the photos, I suggest attaching {{Personality rights}} to the photos and informing the Ministry releasing the copyright that the photos will still be protected under that template and the relevant law below. The text that will be shown can be found here.

Under Singapore law, personality rights will in this case be protected under the Protection from Harassment Act 2014. The act of photographing or publishing the photography must not cause harassment, alarm or distress to the individual(s) concerned under Protection from Harassment Act 2014. Furthermore, the published photograph must not be defamatory. See here for more details. Seloloving (talk) 05:40, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Seloloving. I'll bring this up if they raise this as a concern. So far, the main impediment seems to be establishing that the PAP branches and CCs have the rights to these photos. Commons is being rather thorough. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 07:30, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Yep, Commons needs the photographer to release the license. The party cannot act as an intermediary. They are quite strict from my dealings with them. Seloloving (talk) 11:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

As far as I know, copyright can pass to the party if the photographer was an employee who took the photo in the course of their work. The different PAP branches say this is the case, but it's hard to prove. We're not doing too shabby so far, though. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 15:14, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

People's Association post

Hello @Garfield 3185:, I have reverted your edits to include the posts of Chairman/Deputy Chairman in the infobox. Here's my reason:

Part of my motivation is to remove infobox cruft, where the multitude of posts held by our ministers only add to the clutter, which reduces readability for the average reader. Deputy posts are also mostly insignificant in most non-ministerial posts.

In addition, neither post is significant compared to their ministerial posts, which should be featured with greater prominence. Even then, inclusion of the prime minister field would be wrong as the People's Association is not part of the government apparatus and implies that the post's chain of command is decided by the government's chain of command. This may be the de facto situation, but it's not the de jure one. Seloloving (talk) 02:30, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Roy Ngerng legal suit

I think that his legal suit against Roy Ngerng is notable enough to include in the "Legal suits" section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wesleyac (talk • contribs) 14:06, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

I will look into it, thanks. The section may need to be split into its own page soon as it's getting too long. Seloloving (talk) 21:03, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
