Why would a normal man ever want to buy a pink knife???

Does it have Hello Kitty sticker on it too?

I was wondering about the same damn thing earlier. 

It could be this...

But more likely, its this...

This one base judgement on guilty until proven innocent instead of what it should be, which is innocent until proven guilty.

Maybe this one is a goalkeeper who scores own goals?  Muayhahahaha

Just what the heck is a pink knife, I'm wondering? Some sort of dildo for the cross dresser son?

Everything has gone so wrong.

 

i mean... its not really a surprise seeing how in politically sensitive cases, its always been perceived by many  as ... lets say... less than justice....

 

only difference is that now, its flowed into a seemingly SOP civilian case... albeit... involving a elite.

Fact.

So those who believe that Singapore's system is inherently elitist, with the elite having their own set of rules, will see evidence of bias by law enforcement officers in the face of a privileged and powerful complainant.

They may also point to aspects of the Liew family's behaviour as evidence of moral decay among the privileged. Already, interesting articles about how the rich are mentally geared to behave in a self-seeking behaviour are circulating online.

Some may see in this case evidence of their belief that the Singapore system is stacked in favour of the rich and well-educated, against the man in the street and the ordinary worker. But this view ignores the truth of what happened - which is that a poor worker won a court case against a rich, powerful family.

 

actually..

i bring to you.

TT Durai and CHC.

In BOTH case, ordinary folks were successfully sued... innocent  men, who had their lives .. and bank accounts.. turned upside down.

In BOTH cases again... the guilty were taken down ONLY because they ended up stepping on even BIGGER toes ..

In both cases... AGAIN... the innocent were not compensated AFAIK. Justice was still not  done.

.

Power and wealth have always been a cheat code in the game of law... personally i think it still is.

While I applause the author's effort to get everyone to look on the positive side of things, I can't help but associate his/her view with that of a gambler, where they tend to see that there are tens or hundreds of people winning Toto group 1 prize every year (instead of considering millions who never), and developed the mentality that everyone stand an equal chance of winning the top prizes.

Unlike Toto draw, Big Sweep or 4D, a sound juridical system is not a game of chance or one with a 'fixed formula' for deciding who's the winner, but one with justice served through fair trials based solely on evidences presented, without any form of biasness. In this aspect, everyone, regardless of their background, should be given an equal opportunity to have their cases presented, before the jury returned a verdict.

However, we all knew that typically a rich and more influential person will have more resources (not just in monetary aspect, but testimonial on personal achievement / contribution, time & availability, relationship with others, etc.) when come to defending for themselves, whereas a man on the street will have much less credential in comparison. Thus the more our judiciary has to be a fair one, and this is NOT an option...

Are you sure he isn't involved in making a report? Then why did he claim it is his civic duty to do so?

 

真伟大! CB duties to report suspected crime. Did he report on his son too resulting in his conviction? Most civic of all duties!

If goal keeper cant save shots and striker cant score goals, they are still relatively alright.

Worst is the striker scores own goal and add on to the deficit.

But this poor worker has a very dedicate pro bono lawyer. What are the chances an ordinary singaporean who can't afford elite lawyer have someone like Anil to represent them. Also she has the welfare organisation HOME volunteers to assist in the case. A single lawyer can't provide enough man hour to go thru and find loop holes in the evidences and accuser's testimonies. You need a team of law trained  interns, which a pro bono lawyers are unlikely to be allocated with this resources. I only have SAFRA and NTUC membership, no volunteers will come from there.😁😁 .
