I guess you don't need to be a citizen to be a judge in singapore. Something is wrong with this.

There are not enough talented sinkies around. Also, the job is given to the candidate with the most suitable merit, not nationality. We are not Malaysia with its bumiputra policy.

I am one of the few sinkies who is! But there aren't enough talented sinkies. So we need to supplement the sinkie workforce with talented foreigners. That's been one of our key economic strategies for the past 15 years.

That has never stopped the PAP. Just look at the track record of the judges here especially in the political cases

I believe the ang mo will only hear commercial cases. MIW wont take the risk with political cases. Ang mos can be too independent.

Ang Moh may do anything for money.

It does not matter whether he hears only commercial cases or not. The SICC is part of the singapore judicial system along with the High Court and Supreme Court. As such, no foreign citizens should be part of it, unless they are saying an FT judge can also be appointed to the Lower and Upper courts.

 

[mojito]

Wow. Very international, this international commercial court. I am proud that ang moh can call singapore their home and help bring sg to greater heights!
