S'pore opposition leader jailed for contempt of court

 

SINGAPORE - A Singapore court sentenced an opposition leader to 12 days in jail on Monday for contempt of court during a case to determine the size of damages he has to pay for defaming the republic's leaders.

 

Chee Soon Juan, the leader of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), was found by the judge to have 'scandalised the court' and 'obstructed the administration of justice' during a three-day hearing to decide on damages to be awarded to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his father Lee Kuan Yew.

 

Chee's sister Chee Siok Chin, a senior member of the SDP, was also sentenced to a 10-day jail term for the same offence.

 

The 12-day jail term was the longest awarded for this charge, said M Ravi, Chee's legal advisor.

 

The judge said Chee accused the court of being biased and having pre-judged the defamation hearing, as well as not obeying the judge's orders to stop particular lines of questioning.

 

The SDP, Chee and his sister were found to have defamed the Lees in a 2006 article.

 

The defamation hearing last week, in which the Chees cross-examined the Lees, saw Chee Soon Juan calling Lee Kuan Yew a 'pitiable figure' and Lee saying that Chee was a 'near psychopath'.

 

'At no point was there a deliberate attempt to do anything that would scandalise the court,' Chee said to the court during Monday's hearing for contempt of court.

 

'There were many political arguments made and in the heat of the battle, Mr Lee said some things and I said some things.

 

It was in this context that some things were said and done,' he said.

 

Singapore has been dominated by one party - the People's Action Party - since its independence in 1965. The Singapore Democratic Party is one of the more vocal opposition parties in Singapore but it did not win a seat in parliament in the last election in 2006. -- REUTERS

In terms of credentials and eloquence, Chee and his sister have the qualities of an opposition MP. One was an ex-NUS lecturer while the other, HOD of the English department. She was on a fast-track path also.

 

If they had adopted the approach by Low and Chiam See Tong, they could now be in Parliament today.

 

Unfortunately, they kept going in and out of prison for the unnecessary actions. [shakehead]

their beliefs in how things should be run, is why they are always in and out of jail.

 

you see euro-area, high fuel prices, they go on strike, fisherman don't go out to sea, demonstrations etc etc.

 

at least made the europeans leaders to discuss on how to tackle high oil prices.

 

here in singapore, the cartel increase prices like nobody business, nothing can be done.

 

everything is gahment is looking into it, and "subsidies is bad for singapore". blah blah blah. At least cut some taxes, gst, petrol tax. but no. it's for the benefits of this island in the long run.

"you must get used to higher cost of living, lower standard of living."
