Kiwi jumped bail

[Cars08]

These bunch of clowns think they r superior and can mess around with the legal system here.... Come on, be a man n come back to face the charges...or stick your head in that tiny hole of yours for the rest of your life...losers...

The gahment system got big loop hole. Ppl like Tok Leng How, MSK, the Romenian guy, luxury watch stealing guy, all of them easily walked out of sgp. Still nothing is done. Talk about fark dup.

 

the law is just there for show..hardly there is any enforcement

for foreign offenders, think sometimes it a deliberate face saving decision to let them go, to avoid another Micheal Fay incident. just like its almost impossible to find an ang mo being hanged for drug offenses.

Not true!!! Illegal parking and speeding... too much and too enthusiastic enforcement!!

Very good point, and one driven home by that Ang Mor who wrote that "banned" book. The irony was that they then proceeded to tekan that Ang Mor in the very courts he was criticising.

 

Justice has been a farce here for a while. I remember being proud in the even-handed dispensation of justice when Fay was caned. A pride that was only slightly diminished when the gahmen acceded to Clinton's pleas for clemency and reduced the number of strokes (but the bugger still got whacked).

 

Now that I look back upon even this incident, I see it in different terms. At least one of the cars that was allegedly vandalised by that guy belonged to a very high-ranking elite in our judicial system. Seems like it's always the elites who get justice in Singapore. In all likelihood, if an elite had not been aggrieved, that Yank would've got away with it with a slap on the wrist, if not scot free.

 

So, instead of remembering this event with nostalgic pride, I'm now led to question whether *anything* in Sg ever really had a strong moral basis in egalitarianism to begin with. And, of course, things are even worse now. :angry:

No wonder his son turn out to be like that. Son commit crime still can defend him and give such a lame excuse, ang moh culture really one kind.

 

there are trash everywhere.

 

there are shitty ang mohs, and there are also shitty chinese, malay, indian people. this just happened to be a dishonourable one.

Unfortunately, they take national interest above the morals/justice :angry:

If by "national interest" you actually mean "elite interests, especially of the pecuniary kind", then yes, I agree with you.
