me think Karl 's deteriorating health issue ( Parkinson's disease ) will be taken into consideration ?

 

[rotiprata]

[Scrooball (clone)]

His main problem is mental illness, more specifically the 败家子 mentality.

The significance of his personal health issue pales in comparison with the repercussions the judgment may have on future cases of perjury in Court, as someone accused of perjury can look to this case and claim the lesser offense of "lying to a judge".

There is a big difference between lying to a police officer and lying to a judge.

The difference is lying under oath, and that carries a far more serious penalty.

BTW, you cannot lie to a judge; you can only lie to the Court. Likewise, when you insult a judge in Court, you will not be prosecuted for "Contempt of Judge"; it's contempt of Court.

It's a systemic issue, so you need to change the system ,starting by changing the political party in power..

Kangaroo Court

Kangaroo parliament writes kangaroo laws.

Even an upright court becomes kangaroo when they operate under kangaroo laws....

First time I hear of prosecution taking such a mellow approach. Isn’t the job of the prosecution to seek the maximum penalty? Lol

Depends on whose side the prosecution is on perhaps.

Maybe they looking to go private practice, need to practice serving the rich well now.

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.

==================
https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/PC1871?ProvIds=pr194-Giving or fabricating false evidence with intent to procure conviction of a capital offence
194. Whoever gives or fabricates false evidence, intending thereby to cause, or knowing it to be likely that he will thereby cause, any person to be convicted of an offence which is capital by this Code, or under any other law for the time being in force, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 20 years, and shall, if he is not sentenced to imprisonment for life, also be liable to fine; and if an innocent person is convicted and executed in consequence of such false evidence, the person who gives such false evidence shall be punished either with death or the punishment hereinbefore described.

he walking why like that one ?

walks like a retard.

 

[worcer]

Looks like he is not being charged for "perjury" under s. 192 Penal Code; instead he was charged for a lesser offence of "giving false information to a public servant" under s. 182 Penal Code:

Different kind of crime...

There is no corruption in Singapore.
