Remember, you are dealing with Singaporeans, trained by LKY not to think for themselves.<br /><br />There is nothing new in these articles on Singapore's judges, but 60% of the donkeys still voted for the PAP.<br /><br />And they are so racist and cruel. Just look at how they treat their maids and refuse to give them a day off.<br /><br />The donkeys deserve all the FTs that LKY brings him, and I wholeheartedly support him in this, and in his efforts to create Singapore 3.0.<br /><br />The donkeys deserve nothing better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-38881659333743994812011-08-04T10:45:30.721-07:002011-08-04T10:45:30.721-07:00Nair, 58, is charged with insulting Justice Belind...<b><i>Nair, 58, is charged with insulting Justice Belinda Ang Saw Ean by saying she was "prostituting herself during the entire proceedings, by being nothing more than an employee of Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his son and carrying out their orders," a court document said.</i></b><br /><br />Well Gopalan, your use of that phrase "prostituting oneself" and its meaning is now wholly vindicated in <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14379265" rel="nofollow">an ongoing employment tribunal case</a> in the UK. Maj Gen Keith Cima, 60, a former Tower of London Governor, claims he was unfairly forced out of his job. He is alleged to have said his employer, Historic Royal Palaces, had "prostituted itself" by agreeing to pay compensation to an employee that he had sacked.<br /><br />No one at the hearing batted an eye at that usage. The tribunal did not feel in the slightest that he had insulted his employer by the aforesaid words much less was he accused of contempt or any other offence.<br /><br />So much for the boot-licking judiciary of Lee Kuan Yew's kangaroo courts who chose to pander to his vindictiveness rather than uphold the rule of law.mycroftnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-25222541281317714372011-08-04T07:53:13.446-07:002011-08-04T07:53:13.446-07:00Another dirty tactic?

Woo’s ruling, two years after the filing of the original charges, appeared to be unprecedented. <br /><br />Singapore and the Lee family have long been famous for suing journalists, both foreign and domestic – and they have never lost a suit in Singapore.<br /><br />The media watchdog organization Reporters Without Borders ranks Singapore 140th out of 167 countries surveyed in terms of freedom of the press.<br />------<br />Puts a new meaning into the term activist judge :)<br /><br />http://www.asiasentinel.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1432&Itemid=31Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-85809997372662719502011-08-04T07:32:38.466-07:002011-08-04T07:32:38.466-07:00Convoluted justice.
High Court Judge Quentin Loh ...Convoluted justice.<br /><br />High Court Judge Quentin Loh wondered out loud if a person can be guilty of committing an offence if law enforcers had given permission for him to carry out that activity.<br /><br />On 1 May the police, after observing the activity, came to the conclusion that there was no illegal assembly and that no offence had been committed. They issued the following statement which was published on 2 May 08 in the Today newspaper:<br /><br /> "Police received a call from the Bishan-Toa Payoh Town Council reporting that Chee Soon Juan was distributing pamphlets, and had set up a table selling books and T-shirts at Toa Payoh Central. Police observation in response to the call confirmed it. Chee did not stage an unlawful assembly or an illegal outdoor demonstration." <br /><br /><br />Based on this statement, the group then proceeded to conduct a similar activity a few months later on 9 August to commemorate National Day.<br /><br />This time, however, the police prosecuted the participants for assembly without a permit and District Judge Kessler Soh found the SDP members and activists guilty. <br /><br /><br />Answer: Yes, depends on what Lee Kuan Yew wants. Immaterial if the Police give permission.<br /><br />Justice Kessler Soh (where do they come up with these names?)<br /><br />And what are the odds that Judge Quentin Loh will dimiss charges. Zero to none.<br /><br />Otherwise, LKY will do to Quentin Loh (yet another fancy name) what he did to Judge Michael Khoo.<br /><br />In 1986, Senior District Judge Michael Khoo found him [JB Jeyaratnam] innocent of all charges but one. But the prosecution appealed, and the Chief Justice ordered a retrial in a different district court rather than an appeal in the Supreme Court (thus denying Jeyaretnam the opportunity to appeal a revised verdict to the Privy Council in the United Kingdom). At the retrial, Jeyaretnam was declared guilty on all charges.<br /><br />Judge Michael Khoo was transferred from head of the Subordinate Court to the Attorney-General's Chambers shortly after, a move widely viewed as a demotion. When Jeyaretnam called for an enquiry into the transfer, alleging that the Chief Justice and the Attorney-General were "beholden" to Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, the allegation was dismissed as "scandalous".<br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.yoursdp.org/index.php/news/singapore/4921-judge-can-one-be-guilty-of-offence-if-police-gave-permissionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-38035415187048418772011-08-03T16:34:09.645-07:002011-08-03T16:34:09.645-07:00I am now watching live Mubarak's trial in Cair...I am now watching live Mubarak's trial in Cairo together with his 2 sons and several former Govt cronies.<br />I am wondering whether it will ever happen to LKY or will he succumb to old age demise first.<br />Maybe after the next GE in 2016?<br /><br />---<br /><br />Lee Kuan Yew fears that the PAP may not have a majority after the next election, which is why he has instructed his Tony Tan, a relative, to run for president this August.<br /><br />With TT as President, LKY won't have to call on the Army in the event of a 'freak result' in the election.
