A-G vs MM's Daughter - No one is above the Law.

It's interesting to note that Dr Lee Wei Ling, daughter of MM, felt strong enough to write about the "politically correct token sentencing" of Mr Tang Wee Sung in the kidney sale case.

It is more interesting to read the reply from the Attorney-General Mr Walter Woon.

A-G Walter Woon wrote: "The prosecution did not press for a custodial sentence beyond the minimum. The shortest sentence a judge can mete out is one day's jail. This is exactly what the learned District Judge did. It was not 'a token sentence'. It was the minimum sentence prescribed by law."

I wonder why did the prosecutor in Tang's case ask the judge for minimum sentence prescribed by the law?

Did the prosecutor in the massage parlour case asked for the same minimum sentence for cancer-stricken Mr Heng Wa Seng who was sentenced to 7 months jail? Or is 7 months the minimum prescribed by law?

In trying to sound compassionate as well as just and 'lawful' in replying to Dr Lee, I think AG Walter Woon should have check if his prosecutors did right in both cases.

If it's not about double standard and 'token sentence', why was compassion given to a kidney patient? Why wasn't compassion given to a terminal cancer patient? Does the crap of one smells better than the other? Or is lying under oath less serious than running an illegal massage parlour?

No one is above the law.

But some gets better law than others!

To be fair, if 7 months is the minimum custodial sentence for running an illegal massage parlour, then this "unlearned fishfood" stands corrected.

If you are wealthy and can afford to give monies to the greedy government, money = Law.

When you are broke and helpless,
Law = No Mercy

laws are biased towards the rich and famous.Remember the liver transplant case.One is a famous local artiste, the other died because her donor was not related to her

Did the prosecutor really ask for the minimum sentence or did Tang's lawyer ask for it instead?

Last I heard, Tang's lawyer asked for a non-custodial sentence whereas the prosecutor objected to that.

Factual objectivity is perhaps lacking here. I wonder why....

The law is never about justice. The law is about whether you are rich enough to engage a good lawyer. Never doubt the saying that the rich can get away with murder.

Lee Wei Ling and Walter should stop this pretense of shadow sparring. No credibility means no credibility.
Everone knows who is the LAW ! therefore no one is above the LAW.
IBA knows this LAW too well. lol

Lim,

Thanks for visiting and I'm sorry if "Factual objectivity is perhaps lacking here."

I did not know what you heard but I wonder why you did not read before you write.

"The prosecution did not press for a custodial sentence beyond the minimum. The shortest sentence a judge can mete out is one day's jail." So wrote A-G Walter Woon.

Is this a lack of factual objectivity on my part or is it a case of being blind to the fact on your part?

Loyalty is a virtue but blind loyalty can lead to shooting your own foot or a pie on the face!

Yah lor! Like the guy whom there're going to name a new hospital after. Was a wanted man in Brunei. Didn't declare all share holdings but never mind, pay fine only.

That wanted man in Brunei - in a sense I respect him for giving up millions to set up a community hospital. Speak so much more than that woman who tried to buy a condominium at discounted rate on the quiet. Really sia suay....

AG and Judge Ng, GOD will punish people like you who practice double standard law. Such ass holes will be punished with cancer or kidney failures. Retribution will be swift on them.

Following the announcement of the host otak69 that the Otak Stall will be unplugged on 21 September 2008, many of the bros and sis from the Otak Stall have been very anxious about the future destiny of their brotherhood.

Well, the anxiety is understandable. This is perhaps the second wave of boatpeople after the first wave of boatpeople created by Leongsam's unplug of his "Sammyboy.com's Alfresco Coffee Shop" (SBF) on 6 August 2008.

Many people who are not involved in the management of a forum probably do not realize that it is a FULL-TIME job. It takes a lot of sheer hard work and time commitments behind the scene to ensure the continued success of a running forum. In this regard, the decision by otak69 to throw in the towel and shut down his Otak Stall should be respected. Nevertheless, we should all thank him for doing a wonderful job for housing temporarily the first-wave's boatpeople.

With the impending closure of the Otak Stall, Singapore Kopitiam becomes the only surviving coffee shop among the newly created coffee shops following the closure of SBF. Many bros and sis from the first wave of boatpeople who have chosen Singapore Kopitiam as their cyber home can testify the quality of the discussions here.

Today, Singapore Kopitiam is ranked one of the top 20 forums hosted at Delphiforums. The number of registered nicks in our book is in excess of 1,000. The number of daily unregistered visiting guests is in the order of a few thousands. The daily number of pages viewed is in excess of 20,000. It means that Singapore Kopitiam is playing an important role in shaping the public opinions in Singapore via the cyberspace.

With the recent upgrade of Singapore Kopitiam to the premium forum to include chat room and polling, our facilities are equal to the old SBF, if not better.

Forummers can be assured that Singapore Kopitiam remains free from any external interferences and government's pressure. Singapore Kopitiam sees itself as an important forum to shape and mould public opinions through discussions and debates. All walks of life can discussion any topics under the sun without fear or favour. In the one month since Singapore Kopitiam opens it doors, no moniker has been banned or put under moderation. There is no waiting period for any post to appear.

Last but not least, all the bros and sis from the Otak Stall are welcome here at Singapore Kopitiam. Your interests will be well looked after! Singapore Kopitiam is your community forum in the cyberspace. It is up to you to participate and to keep it alive!

The Opposition Parties should think abt asking Dr Lee Wei Ling to join them. I'm serious. Why not? She's very talented, a rights and fairness champion, sympathetic to the downtrodden and poor. Also, last but not least, use the family leverage to drive a wedge in the Lee Dynasty stranglehold.

Lee Wei Ling will beat the sissy brother hands down. But I doubt she will ever join the opposition, not unless she wants to drive the oldfart to his grave. lol
At the moment, the oldfart is the LAW ! And Walter jolly well knows. lol.
