Woon was earlier criticized by Lee Wei Ling, the daughter of Singaporean patriarch Lee Kuan Yew. Wei Ling is the head of the National Neuroscience Institute.<br /><br />In 2008 Woon brought a case against CK Tang department store chairman Tang Wee Sum for attempting to buy a kidney for transplanting. Both Lee Wei Ling and Lee Kuan Yew voiced public disapproval of Woon for bringing the charges against Tang. He answered back, pointing out what he called a number of misconceptions she held as to the facts and the law, and emphasizing that he had brought the case in a move to implement the law without favor.<br /><br />The law was changed in March of 2009 to align with Lee Wei Ling's position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-35324776848164666712010-04-24T05:39:45.062-07:002010-04-24T05:39:45.062-07:00Singaporean judges have been extremely cautious ab...Singaporean judges have been extremely cautious about their decisions since January of 1984, when then-Senior District Judge Michael Khoo acquitted the late JB Jeyaretnam, Singapore's lone opposition member of parliament and mortal enemy of then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, of making a false declaration about the accounts of his Workers' Party.<br /><br />Shortly after that, Khoo lost his job as senior judge and was unceremoniously moved to the attorney-general's chambers, widely considered to be a much lower posting. The Jeyaretnam episode is the last time on record that a high-profile case ever went against any members of Singapore's ruling Lee family or the government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-17616537064397102702010-04-23T21:08:08.184-07:002010-04-23T21:08:08.184-07:00Singapore Officials Show Some Spine…
