CRIMINAL
lawyer Subhas Anandan wonders if there is one law for the rich and
another for the poor.....
Case 1:
LAW FOR POOR: For instance, the victim of a
road rage incident had accepted an ex gratia payment after being
assaulted by a certain Mr Timothy Chua. However, the magistrate
withheld the composition as he felt that would be going against the
strict policy on road rage incidents, a view upheld by then Chief
Justice Yong Pung How. The matter went to trial and Mr Chua was
fined the maximum $1,000, but the victim lost the compensation of
$8,000.
LAW FOR RICH: On the other hand, when the
accused is well-off or a professional, the offender is allowed to
compound the offence with no objection from the prosecutors. Those
thus let off cited by Mr Anandan included a dentist, a doctor and
the wife of Venture Corporation head Wong Ngit Liong, who slapped
an air stewardess during a flight.
Call him a Criminal Lawyer or People's Lawyer, at
least someone is standing up against our legal system. How come no
mention about special law for "Ah Moh" or "Expat" & local law?
Our legal “Preferential” system is stagnated, frozen in time, and
still practices like in the old Colonial days
