I can't understand how those facts can lighten his sentences though. 

How did the judge expect the stepfather to de-escalate the situation without resorting to force while her daughter was being strangled in front of his eyes? 

I can also get 54 people to write me a testimonial that they have never ever seen me surfing porn but does it mean its the truth?

It's the other way round... You must have 54 voyeurs see you watch porn - without reaction;  then can prove whatever you need to prove.

That's my point. They are not lying because I've never surfed porn in their presence and they've never caught me in the act so the testimonials remains truthful. But the testimonials are also at best a superficial description of how a person pretends to behave in public and says nothing of his real character in private. It would be very disappointing if the judge even gives any credit to the testimonials at all.

Bear in mind the crime took place in private. So my logic is the testimonials of the fker's public persona is totally irrelevant and that's why I can never be a lawyer.

PAP char bors also buay songz...

In a rare move, the People's Action Party Women's Wing has weighed in on a court case, saying it is dismayed at the sentence a National University of Singapore (NUS) student received for trying to strangle his former girlfriend.

In a short statement on Tuesday (July 21), the PAP Women's Wing said it has also shared its concerns about the sentencing with the Minister for Home Affairs, "who has committed to look further into the matter".

MHA to review penalty framework following sentencing of NUS student in strangling case

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/nus-student-strangling-case-penalties-offender-shanmugam-12949912

--> Our "system" is a little reactive here only after noise started coming from the ground.

"..the extent to which an offender's educational background and other factors should be relevant or not; and the relativity in punishment between this offence and other offences, for example how the punishment for a hurt offence compares to theft or spitting."

--> This "education" factor may carry less weight years ago, but seems to have grown to a deciding factor in recent years.

"I think courts are not the issue. Courts are independent. When we disagree, the approach should be to look at the legal policy framework, which the Government can change," he said.

--> Basically he's absolving the court from any wrong, and blames the Govt who handles the "legal policy framework". 

--> Let's see what Mr. Yin will get in the end.

I think we just have to be patient with the legal framework

work within your circle of constraints.

AG already said not appealing for whatever reasons. So the farker will be detained for 12 days WITHOUT criminal records. Perhaps there should be an independent online register for this class of criminals/sex offenders so whatever they do can be recorded for perpetual reference, eg for parents to check before engaging tutors for their kids.

I have consolidated all posting with regards to the latest NUS case under 1 single thread to facilitate better discussion. Do let me know if you come across relevant posting in other thread, in case I miss them. Thanks.

OK my take: Our juridical system needs a serious overhaul. From the many recent cases, the differences in punishment dished out is an eye sore.

Our penal code for abuse is non-existence. So is sexual abuse or child abuse. I dunno maybe the law makers are trying to add them to our penal code.

This case for instance is a good example. The perpetrator got away with such a light sentence is exactly why the punishment for abuse isnt there. And what the prosecutors have to use "voluntarily causing hurt" as a charge.  This is mostly use between strangers, ppl punch or kick each other. But when it comes to abuse the parties involved know each other and grievous harm is usually applied. That's more or less the definition of "abuse".

Time to ask the law minister more questions. Why is our law so out dated?
