The defendants - Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) assistant secretary-general John Tan Liang Joo, 47; full-time national serviceman Muhammad Shafi'ie Syahmi Sariman, 20; and activist Isrizal Mohamed Isa, 33 - wore the T-shirts between May 26 and May 28 in the Supreme Court building when hearings before Justice Belinda Ang were being held in Court 4B.

Those hearings were to assess defamation damages that the SDP, its leader Chee Soon Juan and his sister Chee Siok Chin had to pay Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew.

At the start of court proceedings in the case against them on Tuesday morning, the trio stood up to ask the judge for an adjournment.

Tan and Muhammad Shafi'ie both told Justice Judith Prakash that they did not have time to prepare for the case as they were involved in a separate trial in the Subordinate Courts for participating in an illegal assembly.

Isrizal, in turn, said he needed more time to prepare, and to also look for a lawyers to represent him in the case.

Tan and Isrizal did not have lawyers present at the hearing, while Muhammad Shafi'ie was represented by lawyer Chia Ti Lik.

After a brief recess, Justice Prakash granted them an adjournment. The case will resume on Nov 24.

kangeroo court shouldn't grant extension, that is too unkangeroo like.

and people asking kangeroo court to grant them extension is asking kangeroo court to be fair to them, which is not kangeroo like too.

Shotgun SG

LOL! Why don't they just ban Qantas from landing in Changi altogether. No kangaroos allowed in Singapore!

lionnoisy SG

hhhhh

the court is very generous to give them a chance.But they give it up!!

Justice Judith Prakash adjourned the hearing, which began in the morning, to give time to the trio to decide if they want to tender an apology or withdraw their insinuation about the Singapore courts.

I think they should apologise. Then of course it is easy for me to say this because I am not in their shoes.

The government urges the people not to be extreme, look like they have become very extreme too.

Fantagf SG

Ha ha ha, this is a global joke, people are not allowed to wear T shirts with kangaroo's pic on them. Ha ha ha, the "first world" gahmen don't want people to wear them. Ha ha ha.

Any foreign media journalists here, please publish this as the headline and tell the whole world about the sort of gahmen who claim themselves to be world class doing this to the people of the country.

It is tyranny at its peak.

Stevenson101 SG

Quite frankly i find it rather offensive to taunt the judge like that, irregardless of whether they felt the case was fair or not.

The courts still requires an amount of respect to function.

By wearing those T-shirts in the Supreme Building it is already showing disrespect towards the court of law. The Justice has to do something about it, or risk the practice spreading.

I know your intention is to say the court is a puppet of the government but politics aside they have been doing their part to uphold the law. Everyone in it has worked hard to earn their current position.

I say give respect to that at least.

Ha ha ha, distorted view they have. Nobody saying the court is a puppet. In fact there is no difference at all. The govt is in control.

Must tell aussies not to bring any kangaroos and wear kangaroos Tshirts to Singapore lest they end up in the kangaroo court in singapore.
