Drug dealer who avoided prison faces resentencing after vulgar Facebook post

Daniel Sledden has been ordered to return to Burnley Crown Court after his comment about Judge Beverly Lunt

4:15PM GMT 15 Feb 2016

Minutes after the ruling, a message appeared on his Facebook page saying: “Cannot believe my luck 2 year suspended sentence beats the 3 year jail yes pal! Beverly Lunt go suck my ****.”

His brother Samuel Sledden, 22, who had also pleaded guilty to dealing drugs, appeared to reply to Daniel in a comment saying: “Bet we wouldn’t get a chance like this agen [sic], thumbs up.”

The brothers have now been ordered to return to court and face Judge Lunt next week, when their sentences will be reviewed.

An apology has now been posted to Daniel Sledden’s Facebook page saying: “I want to say how sorry I am for what I wrote about Judge Lunt and my sentence.

“I was very lucky not to be sent to prison and I was very stupid to have written what I did.

“I want to say sorry to Judge Lunt and to anyone else who was upset or offended by my thoughtless post which I did not mean.”

Man hits girlfriend with axe after Facebook friends tell her “she’s pretty”
By Audrey Dermawan – 25 January 2016 @ 8:36 PM
GEORGE TOWN: A 28-year-old woman was hit with an axe head by her boyfriend, all because her Facebook friends had complimented her on her beauty.
The incident happened on Thursday night when she returned to their home in Taman Pisang Awak, Kampung Melayu here.
As soon as she arrived, she got into an argument with her 52-year-old boyfriend.
He then reached for an axe, hit her on the hands and legs with the head, before chasing her out. She lodged a police report the following day.

Boyfriend beats up woman after admirer praises her FB pic

A woman sustained a black eye, bruises and other bodily injuries after being beaten by her boyfriend when he found out that another man praised and admired her beautiful photograph on Facebook last Thursday.

“The 52-year-old boyfriend suddenly slapped, kicked, punched and hit the victim using an axe handle, causing her to sustain a black eye, bruises on the arm and body.

“The man also chased the woman out of his house, prompting her to lodge a police report on the incident.

“The couple have been living together over the past two years and have a four-month-old daughter together. They, however, never registered their marriage,” he told reporters in George Town, Penang.

He said efforts were being done to track down the man, who had four previous records related to drugs and other crimes.

Hunters of clouded leopard tracked down thanks to Facebook faux pas

za.jpg

KAPIT: The long arm of the law has finally reached the three hunters said to be involved in the killing of a Clouded leopard here recently.

The hunt was launched following the posting of a photo, depicting one of the hunters with the dead animal, on social media.

Officers from Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) managed to track down the three in Kapit last week.

“Our SWAT (Swift Wildlife Action Team) from SFC Sibu was despatched to Kapit on Dec 8 after earlier investigative work had identified the probable perpetrators of the offence. All three men have admitted to being involved in the hunting incident, which led to the killing of the Clouded leopard, a ‘Totally Protected’ animal in Sarawak.

“Under the Wildlife Protection Ordinance 1998, the killing of such animal is a serious offence punishable by imprisonment of up to five years and a fine of up to RM50,000,” a statement from SFC said yesterday.

Man arrested for insulting policewoman on Facebook

KUANTAN, Nov 7 — About an hour after insulting a traffic policewoman on his Facebook page, a man was arrested at a roadblock at Jalan Teluk Sisek here, early this morning.

Kuantan police chief ACP Abdul Aziz Salleh said, earlier at around 12.30m, the 23-year-old man from Permatang Badak here was issued a summons at a roadblock by the policewoman for modifying his car exhaust.

“The suspect, who was driving a Proton Satria Neo car was reportedly unhappy with the action taken by the policewoman leading him to insult her by uploading a status to his Facebook account.

“His posting was later found out by a traffic personnel before informing to the policewoman about it,” he told reporters here today.

Unaware that his action was discovered by the police, he passed through another police roadblock while on his way home.

The suspect was arrested at that roadblock and was taken to the Kuantan Police Station for further investigations under Section 233 (1) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

This criminal was either dumb or dumber. Liking a post about him being a wanted man?

Apr 30, 2015 4:15pm

When Mark Zuckerberg came up with the idea of Facebook, he probably did not intend for it to help police in nabbing wanted suspects.

The social networking site did just that last Friday (April 24), all thanks to an incredibly stupid move by the wanted man.

Levi Charles Reardon, who was wanted for felony and forgery, “liked” his own wanted post on Facebook which was uploaded by Great Falls/Cascade County Crimestoppers, a non-profit organisation that aims to reduce crime.

According to the Great Fall Tribune, police records state that Reardon was arrested without incident on Friday evening.

Wanted teen taunts police on Facebook, saying ‘catch me if you can’ … then gets caught

A teenager was arrested after he teased police on Facebook, posting the message “catch me if you can” following an online appeal for his whereabouts.

According to The Independent, Logan Rhys James, 19, was wanted for breaching his license conditions after his release from prison on Feb 6.

He had previously been sentenced to eight months behind bars for a street knife attack.

However, a week after his release, the 19-year-old was recalled to prison for failing to retain contact with police in the county of Gwent in Wales.

Authorities posted an image of the boy on Facebook appealing for his whereabouts to which he commented: “catch me if you can wont (sic) see me slipping.”

But he did slip.

Police arrested James in Caerphilly, Wales, on Sunday (Feb 15).

TV CHANNELS SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHAT THEY CALL THEIR FANS!

This TV channel in Singapore, Channel 8, called its supporters  “三姑六婆” (BUSYBODIES).

za

Dear The Real Singapore,

I noticed many other Channel 8 supporters angered by a photo captain which categorized the supporters as “三姑六婆”.

The fact that the people captured in the photo are middle-aged doesn’t mean they are “三姑六婆”. This is very rude and to make matters worse, Channel 8’s administrator had deleted the photo and pretended that nothing of such happened despite angered fans complaining on their timeline.

My mum actually attended the event and was very insulted that the Channel 8 Facebook page administrators refer to her as a busybody gossipy nothing-better-to-do auntie (translation of what it actually means).

Scott Kelly, 33, spent seven years in prison for stabbing a pub drinker but fled last October after he was released on probation.

Rather than keeping a low profile, he often posted snaps on social networking sites, including pictures of himself enjoying a skiing holiday and others showing him relaxing in bars and restaurants with friends.

He was careful to evade detection by making sure there were no landmarks in the background, but his fun ground to a halt after he uploaded a stunning photo of a sunset.

Detectives were able to glean vital clues from the beach in the foreground such as a palm-tree lined promenade and distinctive architecture, which allowed them to identify it as Alicante.

Spanish police spotted Mr Kelly driving around Costa Blanca last month and arrested him.

Midnight arrest of Facebook user over ‘monkey’ jibe was overkill, lawyers say

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 — Police were “overreacting” when they arrested a Facebook user at midnight on Thursday and remanded him for three days over a post labelling its officers as “‘monkey’ looking for extra income”, said lawyers critical of the move.

Human rights lawyer Andrew Khoo said the move appeared designed to intimidate, pointing out there was neither an urgency nor risk that the evidence would “disappear” to justify the midnight swoop carried out by the Malacca police.

“It would appear that the intention is to arrest him and place him behind bars and to perhaps intimidate him and make an example of him and to make sure everyone is duly intimidated.

“I think the police was being overzealous and possibly with the idea of sending a message to the Malaysian public and we actually can recall the IGP commenting that ‘if you insult the police, we will come after you’,” Khoo told Malay Mail Online when contacted yesterday.

Two other civil liberties lawyers — New Sin Yew and Eric Paulsen — described the Malacca police’s late-night arrest of the 32-year-old car salesman as abusive.

“Why was there a need to go to his house at midnight and obtain further three days for such a minor matter? It’s a very clear case of gross abuse of power,” said Paulsen.

New also said the Thursday midnight arrest over the Facebook post amounted to “bullying” and harassment. “The police should stop doing this. It’s not going to help their image, it’s only going to make it worse”.

Both New and Paulsen said the police should address any negative perception by the public and improve the police force’s image, instead of going after critics.

Novelist wins suit against aide over FB post

A novelist has won a suit against her personal assistant over a defamatory statement posted on Facebook.

This followed a decision by the Civil High Court last Aug 4 in allowing an application for a judgment in default by Siti Rosmizah Semail, 42, against Asmaliyana Ahmad, 24, who is also her sister-in-law.

Judicial Commissioner Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera allowed the application by the novelist, who is also a lawyer, after the defendant failed to enter an appearance within the stipulated period after the filing of the suit.

Today, the court heard Siti Rosmizah’s gave evidence on damages which would be assessed by the court.

On Dec 18 last year, Siti Rosmizah filed a suit for RM3 million against Asmaliyana, claiming that later had posted about 19 defamatory statements on her (defendant) Facebook page between April 21 and July 24 last year.

In the statement of claim, Siti Rosmizah stated that she was the recipient of the ‘Pilihan Pembaca Popular Berita Harian 2009′ award, and that the postings of the defamatory statements had tarnished her reputation as a lawyer and a respected writer.

She also claimed it also affected her income as she was no longer invited to give talks on novel writing by publishers.

She was seeking RM1.5 million in general damages and another RM1.5 million in aggravated damaged, as well as interest, cost and other relief which the court deems fit.

Gerakan: Don’t use racial lens to single out Yip

Facebook user Kelvin Yip would not have been singled out for his remarks if people genuinely wanted justice and were not merely looking through racial lenses, says Gerakan Youth chief Tan Keng Liang.

Tan  said that people should likewise be demanding justice against religious preacher Shahul Hamid for insulting Hindu deities and urging Muslims not to purchase curry powder by Hindu manufacturers.
“Why focus on Kelvin Yip only? I don’t understand. What was said by Shahul, which is recorded, and someone of his stature as an ustaz, will probably have the same impact if not worse,” Tan told Malaysiakini.While admitting that he was “shocked” by Yip’s remarks, he said the matter should not be racialised.He said even though both Yip and Shahul have apologised for their remarks, they should both face action.

Dear Kelvin Yip, Islam promotes love and forgiveness. Fret not, we forgave your stupid antics.

This country is like a live wire now.Kiki, Shahul Hamid, Kelvin Yip – when can we learn to laugh at stupidity and be furious at actual crime.Politicians unfortunately are not helping,at all.Sorry rakyat,we disappoint you.

Sekali lagi pemimpin mcm @KhairyKJ cuba meniupkan isu perkauman.Saya tidak kata langsung Kelvin Yip usah dihukum.Tapi poin saya jelas,pertama untuk kaitkan perbuatan Yip dengan Kiki itu adalah amat berniat nakal,sebab kedua-duanya tak sama.Satu kes ugut dan rosakkan harta di jalan raya satu kes kenyataan perkauman dalam FB.Sebagai Menteri beliau patut tahu memang “given” semua orang sama di sisi undang-undang jadi tak perlu celoteh panjang, kalau salah hukum tak kira darjat.Tapi mengapa kaitkan “perlunya hukum Yip” dengan kes Kiki (yang jelas tak sama) selain nak tambah minyak dalam api?

Dan keduanya,saban hari masyarakat kita menjadi semakin tegang dengan isu2 perkauman dari isu Kiki ke isu Shahul Hamid ke isu Kelvin Yip.Pemimpin bukan cuba meleraikan ketegangan dan mengasuh kepada keharmonian malah mengapi-apikan lagi keadaan tegang ini.

“Act strict and fast towards anyone guilty without considering their race,” said Khairy in a Facebook posting.He was commenting on a youth Kelvin Yip who on Facebook had angrily complained of the volume of morning prayer recitals in his vicinity during the Hari Raya celebrations.

Yip had allegedly posted strong words filled with expletives saying, “Eh hello bastards…I know its Hari Raya and all but please … keep your prayers to the almighty off some loudspeaker at 6.45 in the morning…it’s annoying…”

The youth however was quick to delete the post and apologise after being cautioned by several Facebook users.

In a search done by Malaysiakini, it was discovered that Yip also has since deactivated his Facebook account.

THIS GUY LIED ON FACEBOOK. His problem was that he, a Singaporean, wrote lies about the Little India riot, a situation which was, at that time, a hot item.

He was fined SGD5,000.

Facebook user lied about 3 cops and 2 civil defence officers dying in Little India riot

Posted on 27 June 2014 | 1,989 views

A technician was fined $5,000 yesterday (Jun 26) for making a “reckless” Facebook post falsely claiming that five full-time national servicemen had been killed in the Little India riot.

According to a report on My Paper, the day after the riot on Dec 8, Desmond Lum Mun Hui, 28, wrote: “Yesterday riot cause 3 spf and 2 cd dead.. all nsf.. haiz.. sg..”

The terms “spf” and “cd” referred to the Singapore Police Force and Civil Defence.

He admitted to transmitting the false message from his home in Jurong West.

..The offending conduct in this case consists of a transmission of a fabricated message out of a misguided and immature desire to attract attention on a social-media platform.

“The offender was, at most, reckless as to the potential mischievous consequences,” he said, adding that the post would have alarmed people who saw it.

Man signs into Facebook in middle of alleged burglary, gets caught

MINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota man is in jail because he logged on to Facebook — during his alleged crime.

Police say Nicholas Wig checked his profile from a home he broke into — then didn’t log off.

“When I came home from work that day, that screen was laying right here,” homeowner James Wood. “Credit cards, cash, for a soccer tournament, checkbook, watch. Kinda started to panic.”

Wood notified police, but then noticed something on his computer.

“He uh, HA!!! He pulled up his Facebook profile and left it up,” Wood said.

Police say Nicholas Wig, 26, had checked Facebook while stealing from the house and forgot to log out. So Wood updated Wig’s status.

“I shared his photo and said watch out for this guy he’s a thief,” Wood said.

People kept commenting on that post. Wood also left his phone number asking anyone to call with information on where to find Wig.

Wood received a text at 7 p.m. From Wig himself.

“I replied you left a few things at my house last night how can I get them back to you,” Wood said.

Wig agreed to meet with Wood under the impression he could give back Wood’s recycled cellphone in exchange for his clothes he had left at the home.

“World’s dumbest criminals,” Wood said.

When Wood spotted him heading toward the house, he called police.

Syaitan’ Man Namblast arrested

| February 11, 2014

Man Namblast, the Facebook user who described Hindus as ‘syaitan’ was arrested by police yesterday.

PETALING JAYA: The Facebook user, Man Namblast, who had described the Hindus as ‘syaitan’ or demons during the recent Thaipusam festival was nabbed by police yesterday.

The arrest was confirmed by Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Khalid Abu Bakar through his twitter account yesterday at 6.50pm from Kuching, Sarawak.

Khalid’s tweet reads: “Akhirnya Man Namblast yg muat kata2 berunsur hasutan semasa upacara Thaipusam tempoh hari berjaya ditangkap tadi,” which translates into: “Finally, Man Namblast who made  seditious remarks during the Thaipusam festival has been arrested”.

However no further details were revealed by Khalid on the arrest.

http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2014/02/11/syaitan-man-namblast-arrested/

This what he did on Facebook.

Man Namblast (not his real name) had on Jan 17 posted a picture on his Facebook account with a caption that read: “Berpuluh ribu syaitan sedang berarak menaiki Bt Caves”, (in translation: tens of thousands of demons are marching up the stairs of Bt Caves)

Though the Facebook account was deactivated, a screen shot of the posting had gone viral on the social media and it enraged the Hindus here.

Hundreds of police reports were made against Man Namblast and also against another Facebook user called Mohd Hidayat, who defended Man Namblast’s posting.

In a separate public post, he had also taken a picture of a taxi driver, calling him a “retard” for wearing gloves and covering himself with towels in 37-degrees-Celsius weather.

“I hope the people of Singapore will allow me to volunteer my time and resources to community projects in order to make amends for my mistakes,” he wrote in an e-mail response last night to queries from The Straits Times.

‘Daddy, who are all these poor people?’ How Anton Casey’s Facebook comments dissed Singapore

The expat British fund manager sneered at users on public transport – and provoked a torrent of abuse

Name: Anton Casey

Age: 39.

Appearance: Pasty expat Brit.

That’s not very nice. I don’t think you’ll find many people who have a good word to say about Mr Casey.

What does he do? He’s a fund manager.

In that case, fire away. Amazingly, Casey’s job is the least unattractive thing about him.

What’s his problem? Casey – who lives in Singapore – had to leave his Porsche at the garage, obliging him to take the train.

Good for him to see how the other half lives. He then posted a picture of his son sitting on said train on Facebook, along with the caption: “Daddy, where is your car & who are all these poor people?”

Nice. Casey later posted another picture of his son sitting in the newly repaired Porsche, with the words: “Ahhhhhhhhh, reunited with my baby. Normal service can resume, once I have washed the stench of public transport off me …!”

He doesn’t come across well on social media, does he? No. Soon another of Casey’s Facebook postings went viral: a picture of his bundled-up taxi driver, with the caption: “Today’s cabbie retard award goes to … Mr Arm Warmers, stripy mittens & towel on the lap man … After all it’s only 37C outside.”

Man, 22, under police probe for posting racist remarks under pseudonym ‘Heather Chua’

A 22-year-old man is under investigation by local police for a string of offensive remarks he allegedly posted under the fictitious name “Heather Chua” on Facebook.

In a statement issued on Friday, police said several members of the public have filed police reports against his posts, which angered many Internet users. The first, police said, was filed on 3 January this year.

Police said they determined the 22-year-old’s identity through “extensive investigations”. The man is now assisting police with their investigations.

Using the moniker “Heather Chua”, the man allegedly posted comments insulting the work of National Servicemen, ITE graduates and Malays, among a series of other things. “Chua”’s posts, which were frequently geotagged to Sentosa Cove, ignited the ire of many Facebook users, prompting the efforts of some to track down who “she” was.
..

Several bloggers accused him of creating fake modelling events in a bid to trick aspiring models to send their portfolio pictures to him. They also said in various posts on Facebook that the photographs of luxury cars “Chua” posts on “her” Facebook profile contain digitally altered licence plates that do not exist on Singapore’s vehicle listings.

The female images used as “Chua”’s profile pictures were also allegedly stolen from Thai actress and blogger Pimpatchara Vajrasevee. The latter also previously took to her Instagram account to call “Chua” out for stealing her pictures, but she allegedly denied doing so in comments on Vajrasevee’s pictures.

According to screengrabs of “Chua”’s account, “her” birthday is 25 July 1973, and listed the University of Phoenix, National University of Singapore, Temasek Junior College and Raffles Girls’ School among her places of education.

By Wednesday, the man’s Facebook profile had been taken down.

Your Facebook posts, tweets could cost you a job

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 — Recruiter Muslim Nazari thought the 28-year-old applying for the sales manager position seemed too good to be true with his impressive resume and impeccable interview scores.

Just to be certain, Muslim scanned his Facebook profile and found incriminating pictures of the once-promising job candidate using recreational drugs at parties.

The potential hire also used the same social media space to complain about his manager.

“He didn’t get the job,” Muslim told The Malay Mail Online in a recent interview.

“Those were the two biggest red flags. We don’t hire people who are involved with illegal activities. It will affect the company’s image.

“We also question the values of people who speak ill of their previous company on social media,” he added.

Recruitment agencies said recently that Malaysian employers and those around the world are increasingly using Facebook, LinkedIn and microblogging site Twitter to screen job applicants, in order to look at their professional and cultural fit with the organisation.

With Malaysia’s Facebook population now numbering a whopping estimate of 13.3 million users, this could pose potential risks to job hopefuls who tend to live their lives out on Facebook or other social media outlets.

As a result, a racial insult, religious threat, the incessant use of vulgarities or any evidence of inappropriate behaviour on these easily accessible social networking sites, could cost these candidates their dream job.

Tourist falls off pier while checking Facebook

A tourist in Australia had to be rescued by police after plunging off a pier while browsing Facebook on her phone, officials have said

The Taiwanese woman was walking along St Kilda pier, near Melbourne, on Monday night when she became distracted by her Facebook feed and plummeted into the chilly water of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria state police said.

A witness called for help and police rushed by speedboat to the woman’s aid. They found her floating in the water 20 minutes later, about 20 meters (65 feet) from the pier.

“She was still out in the water lying on her back in a floating position because she told us later that she couldn’t swim,” Senior Constable Dean Kelly of the state water police told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. “She still had her mobile phone in her hand and initially she apologized and said sorry.”

The woman was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Son banned from insulting mother on Facebook after argument over computer

A man in South Wales has been told by a court he cannot insult his mother on Facebook after getting into an argument with her over his computer.

Samuel Hinkin, 20, was also jailed for six weeks following the incident where he kicked through a door and threatened to burn down the family house in Bridgend.

He pleaded guilty to criminal damage and cannabis possession at Bridgend magistrates’ court.

Presiding magistrate John Viney warned him about posting anything negative about his 53-year-old mother Susan.

He said: ‘You should not contact her directly or indirectly and you should also not write anything derogatory about her on Facebook or Bebo.’

Hinkin’s barrister David Sedgewick said his client had been left without a home to go to following the argument and going to jail would provide him with shelter.

‘The only advantage of him being sent to prison is that some accommodation will be arranged for him,’ he added.

Alleged thief’s FB photos lead to his own undoing

PETALING JAYA: Police arrested an alleged 17-year-old thief after an employee of the cyber cafe he robbed recognised him on Facebook.

The teenager lodged a report at the Sentul police station at 3am yesterday to deny media reports that he had held up a cyber cafe in Danau Kota, Setapak, with a parang last Friday.

Media reports claimed the suspect later foolishly uploaded photos of him posing with a parang and his “loot” on Facebook, which led to his undoing.

It is believed that the suspect and his accomplice barged into the cyber cafe at 6pm on Friday and threatened the owner and its patrons with a parang and demanded money from them.

ACP Zakaria said police were also on the lookout for the suspect’s accomplice.

2 senior cops in Penang suspended for sending racist text messages

By LEE SHI-IAN
October 12, 2013

Two senior police officers in Penang were suspended from active duty today for allegedly circulating text messages which had strong racial undertones, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

He declined to reveal the ranks of the two police officers but confirmed that both had been suspended with immediate effect.

Investigation papers have been opened against both men, who play an active role in the ongoing Ops Cantas, a crackdown on active secret societies in the country.

Khalid said both officers are alleged to have sent text messages with racially-discriminating content to their friends, who are then believed to have circulated the messages to other friends.

A police report was later lodged by a member of the public who received the text and found it offensive.

Man who threatened to kill IGP to be released today

KUALA LUMPUR: The man who posted a threat to kill the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar on his social media platform account will be released today, said Khalid.

Khalid said he had forgiven the educated man’s act and hoped that he and all public members will hinder themselves from posting any kind of threatening or intimidating remarks on anyone on any social media platform, as it can be misinterpreted.

“He is a well-educated guy, but with a ‘big mouth(?)(mulut celupar),

“Maybe he was angry at the time he posted that threat on Facebook, but being a learnt individual he should have curbed the urge to make it public by stating it on his account,” said Khalid when met today.

“We have checked him out, he has no criminal record, and decided to let him go as the act was a spur-of-the-moment slip of temper,” Khalid added.

DEATH THREAT OR IGP BULLYING AGAIN? “Can anyone just hire gunman to shoot down this police or IGP?”

KUALA LUMPUR — A direct-selling dealer surrendered to the police today over a threat to kill Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

The 33-year-old man surrendered himself at the Cheras District Police headquarters at 9.30 am, said Cheras Police chief ACP Mohan Singh Tara Singh.

The police lodged a report yesterday at the Dang Wangi District Police headquarters after coming across a Facebook account in the name of one Murugan Nagaretinam which read: “Can anyone just hire gunman to shoot down this police or IGP?”

The Facebook account holder had commented on the police shooting dead two men believed to be gangsters in Melaka yesterday.

The men were killed in a shootout with the police at 9.20 am after they opened fire at policemen who had approached them as they waited in a car at the roadside near a hypermarket in Cheng. – Bernama

“This case has taught me that no matter how private you make your profile,  you cannot guard yourself against others taking it and bringing it into public  domain,” she added.

“I had done my best to make a closed and private profile… but I obviously  let someone in who shouldn’t have been there,” she said.

Danish bank worker fired for Facebook rant wins damages

COPENHAGEN : A Danish bank worker who was fired for using Facebook to tell late-running customers to “go to hell” has won a dispute with her former employer, her union said today.
..
The Danish pensions administrator logged on to the social networking site  to vent on December 28 — the last business day of the year in Denmark — after  being inundated with requests from clients.
..
“Holidays! Go to hell, people who remember to make deposits into children’s  savings accounts and pensions on the last business day of the year! There are  364 other days of the year when you can call about that,” she wrote in a status  update littered with expletives.
The woman was fired after a colleague took a screen shot of her Facebook  rant and alerted their employer on January 3.
However, an employment tribunal found she should have been let off with  just a warning, and ordered the bank to pay her just under eight months’ worth  of wages in compensation.
The colleague who reported the incident later refused to testify, which is  believed to have helped her colleague’s case against the bank, the Financial  Services Union Denmark said in a statement, without naming the bank.
The woman realised that what she had done was wrong, but felt that the  punishment didn’t fit the crime, the union quoted her as saying.

Two Facebook posts by a radiographer containing nasty remarks about his patient and his workplace have been making its rounds online.

…When The Straits Times contacted the radiographer, he wanted to be known only as Mr Lee, 25 and would only say he worked in a local hospital. He has since removed the posts from his account.

He added that his postings were just “innocent rants about a bad day at work”, and insisted that he was not being unprofessional. “I didn’t put in my company’s name, or any information that will identify the patient…It was just an innocent posting and I didn’t know it would spread online,” he said. “We are taught to have compassion for our patients, but at the end of the day, a job is still a job. There will be bad days, but I have always been professional when dealing with my patients,” he added.
