This afternoon at court 19, at about 2:45pm 5 activists including Mr. Gandhi Ambalam; Miss Chee Siok Chin; Mr. John Tan; Mr. Chong Kai Siong & myself were found not guilty for procession without a permit from WB-IMF Annivesary Walk Event dated 16.Sept.2007 (LKy old dog thief's birthday), by district judge John Ng.
This is the first breakthrough in our 3 year plus of non-stop litigations with famiLEE LEEgime involving more than a dozen cases.
I will post later my defense summisons & replies in PDF files online. Basically I came out with defense arguements that the event was a Walk instead of a Procession and everyone have the rights to use road to convey themselves from a place to another lawfully, a permit is not required as the walk is different from a procession in that walk is casual and without fixed formation & sequence & order etc. It was evidential that the activists and reporters and bloggers etc were just walking on the sidewalks in very normal ways not different from the common users of road (pedustrians). Therefore I aruged that a procession was not formed up, nor had been identified nor noticed by members of public. :-)
For the very 1st time in opposition history under famiLEE LEEgime such acquittals had been seen, and all the 5 defendants were found not guilty. I am not sure however if famiLEE LEEgime's AGC will appeal against this acquittal no not. :-)
I was prepared this afternoon to return to my Changi Hotel / Resort to have a few days of vacation. Now however I am back to work... :-( so boring...

NOTE: I had posted new PDF files and shifted the JUDGEMENT PDF file together with the other 2 newly posted ones. So the link in my 1st post here will no longer work. Refer to following new links.
District Judge John Ng have some guts, he made a difference, although he did not frame up the constitutional issues under section 56A of Subordinate Courts Act regarding the issue of constitutional equality that famiLEE LEEgime's rotten policy of denying political parties permits to conduct lawful activities outdoor is unlawful & unconstitutional discrimination - as I had repeatedly raised before him, but he had at least acquitted all the 5 who were charge for procession without permit - this is a first time in famiLEE LEEgime history for political procession charge to be all acquitted.
This case will be useful for myself and others to use as case law in other procession charges.

Truly a thick skinned govt. They will now change the law to make it clear that a procession is presumed when 2 or more people walk in the same direction.

Judge acquits five SDP leaders and activists

SINGAPORE: They have been hauled to court many times for staging protests and other activities in public, with a guilty verdict the regular outcome.
On Tuesday, however, a group of Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) leaders and activists were acquitted of holding a procession without a permit.
On Sept 16, 2007, five of them had marched from Speakers' Corner to Queenstown Remand Prison to mark the first anniversary of a protest led by SDP secretary-general Chee Soon Juan at the World Bank-International Monetary Fund meetings in 2006.
The group, comprising SDP chairman Gandhi Ambalam, assistant secretary-general John Tan, central executive committee member Chee Siok Chin, SDP supporter Yap Keng Ho and human rights activist Chong Kai Xiong, also wore white T-shirts with the words "Democracy Now" and "Freedom Now".
In his written judgment, District Judge John Ng noted that the group had walked mainly on pedestrian pathways and did not attract "any significant" attention of the public.
They also did not carry any of the usual equipment associated with a protest, such as placards or banners, and the walk did not disrupt pedestrian flow.
The judge said: "It was a group of people walking purposefully in a public place from one point to another, but on this occasion, it never amounted to a procession."
He added that there has to be a distinction drawn between "walking in a group from one point to another, even if it was to commemorate an event, and being part of a procession".
When contacted, Institute of Policy Studies senior research fellow Gillian Koh told MediaCorp: "The judgment suggests at face value that there are political activities that seem to be acceptable which we never thought would be allowed."
She said that political activists should look at the previous cases and the specifics of the judgment, and "they would want to be cautious in staging political activities in order to avoid running afoul of various laws".
The five SDP leaders and activists had been charged for participating in a procession without a valid permit. Each of them could have been fined up to S$1,000 if convicted.

WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?
this is a very good question.
the antics tht are getting very frequent, do they really benefit peasants, the opp parties as a whole or anyone else?
if it doesn't, it would be so easy n convenient for the gabramen to brand it as TROUBLEMAKERS. it's also tiring out the peasants who do not see any relevance you guys are doing that would improve their lives.
do u think the peasants would support and sing your tune?
if they do not, why then are u guys still doing it? then comes the next question:
ARE YOU A SDP MEMBER? if u were, then it's fair that u support this off-tangent and off-keyed circus of clowns.

his spirit i not focused. if he's singaporean, lst and foremost he should be concentrating on fighting for peasants. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. after that's done, he could then go global.
being here and there and everywhere confuses the peasants and hence i doubt anyone could ve the trust and confidence in him. his effort and thoughts might be for the peasants but sadly that could be bluntly being ignored and peeved on.

famiLEE LEEgime's Public Prosecutor Appealed against WB-IMF Anniversary Walk Acquittals
I received notice from court that Magistrate's Appeal No 321/2009/01 had been filed against Acquittals of 5 activists charged for procession without permit. The famiLEE LEEgime's prosecutor had filed it on the next day of our acquittals, on the 7th Oct 2009. :-)
All that had meant is the battle against famiLEE LEEgime just goes on as per normal. And it will continue to pave ways and make breakthroughs and progress until the corrupted and incompetent famiLEE LEEgime is removed from Republic of Singapore.
Political party supporters can hurl abuse at each other here.
