NS Educates! - youths learns through painful mistakes

Can you deduce his maturity and IQ just by looking at a single photo? Being babyfaced at 22 has no bearing on either faculty, and he bears none of the facial features of a person with Down's.

Can you tell from the photo that he bears none of the facial features of a person with Down's syndrome ?

If he has Down's syndrome would he have slipped through the SAF classification system and landed in the vocation assigned ?

It's not the maximum sentence for the charges brought against him, and look at the amount forfeited in taxes and duties. He would have little idea about the total amount of contraband the Indons were bringing in but it does not excuse him. Warnings about smuggling, security breaches and accepting bribes and gifts are repeated in ROs.

Yes, is it not odd that while the authorities let the Indonesian naval personnel out of the ambit of Singapore Law, they imposed a stiff sentence of four years for being an intermediary in transporting the smuggled cigarettes.

As you have been so observant to note that "he would have little idea about the total amount of contraband the Indons were bringing in" - should he be given the harsh sentence considering that he is a first time offender ?

In an ICQ publication dated 26 August 2003 - it stated that :-

‘Persons found guilty for importation of counterfeit goods for the purpose of trade or manufacture will be liable to a fine not exceeding SGD10,000 for each good to which the trademark is falsely applied or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or to both’ (*1)

The penalty was a fine of S$10,000, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or to both - and this is for persons found guilty for importation of the goods for the purpose of trade.

This 'boy' is a first time offender, and not even the importer of the contraband.

By extension of your logic, no one should go to prison, including hardened criminals (makes them more bitter, huh?). But security from terrorists and other external threats takes priority over random crimes he might commit in the future. You might not like it but it's nothing out of turn in Singapore.

That is your preferred interpretation of your own reading of what was clearly written.

Was there any suggestion that "no one should go to prison, including hardened criminals" - or even to "(makes them more bitter, huh?)" ?

Is anything ever out of turn in Singapore - considering 52 years of being subjected to consistent conditioning to the monologue ?

maybe atobe looks dumb... and is an apologist for dumb people?

and is trying his damnest to prove that dumb-looking people are dumb by posting some of the dumbest things possible?

Is that a reflection of truth from the proven Drama Queen in this speaker's corner ?

hey atobe.. get this into your brain..

you rant about democracy.. in a democracy, people take personal responsibility for their own actions.. they do right, good because whatever benefits they get from their good action, be it karma, profits, adoration, whatever.. they earn it..

but they screw up, they make their bed and they get to lie in it..

simple isn't it?

Can you make your own bed, or did Mama Bear pick after you as she can bearly tolerate your useless fence sitting habits and rantings ?

For one who talks loudly about others taking "personal responsibility for their own actions... they do right, good because whatever benefits they get from their good action, be it karma, profits, adoration, whatever.. they earn it."

Can you do right by your own efforts ?

Or have you not been proven to be a hypocrite fence sitter, ranting against the PAP, as much as you rant against the Alternative Parties ?

Certainly you have not taken responsibility for your own misleading actions in denying the facts about Chiam See Tong's rejection by the SDP, and persist with spreading your ignorance in denigrating CSJ for your own petty agenda.

Karma, profits, adoration for you ? You will certainly earn it on your judgment day.

unless you secretly want to be like the MIW.. because you seem to be cut from the same cloth.. privilege without the responsibilities.. sort of like shortass Wong "it should not have happened, i'm sorry it happened"...

With your ability to spread ignorance, we will not hold you to your stupidity if you cannot read what has been clearly printed.

maybe shortass Wong looks dumb and therefore got away with it? because he sure as hell looks like a dumbass...

were you raving that he got away with it? i bet you were...

now.. go back to your little utopian nightmare of your delusions where smugglers who colluded with the military of other countries to smuggle stuff can go off scot free because "they look dumb"

just a bit of advise... don't go sprouting this out IRL.. because you'll end up not only looking dumb, your words will confirm that you are dumb...

ahahahahahahaha

Do you know even where to place your bet when you can hardly discern the writings on the wall with simple spellings made for you ?

'maybe shortass Wong looks dumb' - but not as dumb as the Drama Queen who lives on the whimsical smoke created for the stage that brings out the real drama of skewed visions.

With the intelligence that you possess, only you will be able to discover an "utopian nightmare" - do we need to know the useless diarhea of views that you have as a "fence sitter" ?

Can a "fence sitter" know anything more challenging then the dumbness that surround the remaining intelligence that hold you to your fence ?

It seems that you owe your parents alot for what has become of you, you should send them a cheque for ten cents and balanced the account with them.
