    Default Singapore system is in a mess

    Interesting judgement for a high profile case. You have to look after yourself in Singapore. Don't depend on the government to help you.

    For 2 occasions at the same durian stalls and same man. I wanted to buy 5 durians at $2 each. So I asked this man to help me to choose but he said : "Choose it yourself because it is only $2." I told him that I didn't know how to choose, and he just kept quiet, so I walked away. Then yesterday, I passed by that stall again and met the same man, I wanted to buy 5 durians @ $1 each, then he asked me to buy the $2 one, buy 5 get 1 free, so I said okay. This time, he picked for me but didn't help me to "open" the durian, so I asked him to help me, he said "no opening" for $2 durians, so I walked off again, haha. What kind of service is that?

    I bought from other stalls, $1 each also help you to choose and open leh.

    let's not forget the bowling alley incident whereby she fought with a woman in public

    seriously, mediacorp should stop using her and stop showing her shows. U mean we do not have any more hosts anymore? I'm disgusted with her behaviour and excuses.

    She's a bad example to everyone, being a public persona. Someone should create a facebook page or online petition to bar her from media anymore

    Cannot anyhow replace anyone in SG...already say SG is small - talent pool not deep enough.

    So anyone who manages to get ahead and reach the summit of his field in civil svs/govt/GLC/Temasek/GIC all happy like bird coz cannot get fired even if screw up. Can pass blame downward though like the prison guard or technician who didn't see the collector shoe on the ground for months.

    You really think petition will work in Singapore??? Remember all the petition for TPL during the GE recently? It only made her stronger and got more support from the other leaders...

    It depends on the connection: good or best connection.

    This judgement will set a precedence for judges to let off FT easily in future. It's clearly a deliberate abortion of justice.

    One of the Youngest Law Dean is related to President while one of the Permanent Secretary is related to former chief justice.

    Then again a regular person will not receive so much publicity so in a sense, will get away with all the finger pointing and gossiping very easily... price of being a celebrity!

    Default 包拯

    I'm not sure what the judge was thinking but the judgement was truly not equitable. Time to return to our old values. Maybe restoration of Haw Par Villa is still valuable (despite being a cost center) as the society is rapidly losing values. We need more judges like Bao Zheng to uphold people's rights and oligations.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bao_Zheng

    Bao Zheng (包拯) (999–1062) was a much-praised official who served during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Northern Song Dynasty in ancient China. Culturally, Bao Zheng today is respected as the symbol of justice in China.

    In his lifetime, Bao was renowned for his filial piety, his stern demeanor, and his intolerance of injustice and corruption. Due to his fame and the strength of his reputation, Bao's name became synonymous with the idealized "honest and upright official" (qingguan 清官), and quickly became a popular subject of early vernacular drama and literature.
