the wrong passport case, where a man's father took his
passport for a trip to vietnam but was only discovered in vietnam
by the local authorities, highlighted a breach in our
checkpoints.
it was reported in the papers that this man is subsequently
jailed, because the media attention on the case led them to
discover that he's a bankrupt and he left the country without
permission on numerous counts.
but is this really a case of revenge for creating a high profile
scandal for MHA?
this is not the first time. in the ah-long-san case, he was
charged with numerous offences, 4 of which remain secret till
today. many in the legal field believe it's due to his bribing the
police which causes the MHA to lose considerable credibility.
