Is AGC in prosecution of Karl Liew biased or are parliamentary statutes deliberately ambiguous so that prosecution has much room to be biased?
Singapore Parliament is like a circus. Likes to pass funny laws so that rich people with smart lawyers can find many loopholes to get Scot free.
Low SES people haha, the AGC know all the monkey tricks to make one locked up for good.
Something tells me AGC in Karl Liew case is pretty much partial towards the rich kid. Don't ask for a high sentence, just slap on the wrist.
Doesn't our penal code (sect 194: for capital offence) also provide for likewise capital charges against complainant whose false testimony resulted in an innocent person being sentenced in a like for like manner (death penalty for lying too in some cases).
Oh, 2 sets of laws cos different SES people commit different types of crimes?
Or parliament is just sleeping, could not care less about writing the law down correctly (proportionately) and too happy with the loopholes and ambiguity, because they seek to benefit from legal technicalities and loopholes in due course? Status quo, law is full of loopholes that both AGC and evil politicians exploit.
TLDR: I think AGC is biased to just ask for small fine.
Judge is correct to jail but the term is a joke, should be at least 1 year, cos parti Lyiani got 26 months jail as a result of his malicious lies.
No sense of proportion here ah? Just like our parliament, all is one triad control all, no sense of proportion at all.
