hey, forgive me for being frank, but this thread seems to be
going ard in circles. :P
is it really so hard for pple here to understand why a court of
law would want to arrest people who deliberately insult it? what
don't you guys understand abt the case??
in other countries pple can get arrested (and jailed for years)
for insulting the king, insulting the national religion, etc.
remember the Swiss guy who was sentenced to 10 years' jail in
Thailand for spray painting the king's portrait while in a drunken
stupor?
and more recently, in jan this year, 80 students who wore orange
jumpsuits and black hoods outside the US Supreme Court to protest
against the questioning of terror suspects in Guantanamo Bay, were
(surprise, surprise) arrested.
why shld we expect the Singapore judiciary to behave any
differently? are u saying tt those who insult the court of law in
Singapore shld be allowed to get away with it? :/
judges are supposed to be impartial... but it doesn't mean tt
they need to close one eye when pple are openly contemptuous of
them...
