He is not a first time criminal. This guy has consistently shown a disdain for the laws of the country. I say send his backside to Changi Cove for 18 months! Recalcitrant criminals should not be treated lightly.
 
How dare they try to jail a rich and famous man for more than one day? Is there no more injustice and inequality left in Singapore? :oIo:
 
.

‎*JUST IN* Howard Shaw has been sentenced to 12 weeks in jail for having paid sex with an underage girl.

The 41-year-old grandson of the founder of Shaw Organisation admitted in June to paying a 17-year-old girl $500 for sex in October 2010.
 
12 weeks not long. Good behavior can reduce some more.

I hope those who engaged Subhas kena longer term, like 24 weeks or something

maybe Not . it must hit a min. before the 1/3 discount applies
 
I think that is is unfair to presecute these guys and this girl is no spring chicken.

However since school principal already go Changi then wouldn't the rest face the same punishment. After all the "criminal" act is pretty much the same-sleeping with underage girl. OK maybe of you are sole breadwinner of family can get some slack.

Shaw has decided to appeal, and his police bail of $10,000 was extended to court bail of the same amount.
 
Plead guilty and then appeal?
He wants a shorter sentence?
 
Singapore's judiciary and laws smile on the rich and famous. And foreigners.

founder of Shaw Organisation used to fix horse race in singapore during the 80s ;)
 
12 weeks is short term.
No working detail outside cell.
House separate also not likely unless solitary cell.
Maybe can cook medical history to get more hospital visits and such only.
Prison very hard to kelong

Howard Shaw gets 12 weeks jail for having paid sex with underage girl
Posted: 30 July 2012 1519 hrs

SINGAPORE: Former executive director of the Singapore Environment Council, Howard Shaw, has been sentenced to 12 weeks jail for having paid sex with an underage girl.

The 41-year-old grandson of the founder of Shaw Organisation admitted in June to paying a 17-year-old girl S$500 for sex in October 2010.

In the prosecution's submissions, it stated that the offence warrants a custodial sentence and urged the court to mete out a three-month jail term to Shaw.

The prosecution said the minor involved is 'worthy' of protection as stated under the law.

Adding that the extent of the culpability depends on whether Shaw tried to verify the minor's age, the prosecution pointed out the accused took absolutely no steps to ascertain the girl's age.

The prosecution said that the defence's request of a non-custodial sentence for Shaw is something that "cannot be done" as he had done nothing to ascertain the girl's age. If the minor refuses to show documents to confirm her age, the prosecution said a patron should walk away "as due diligence".

However one may view the minor's actions, the prosecution also said the focus should be on Shaw's actions and a deterrent sentence is called for.

But defence lawyer Harpreet Singh Nehal pointed out that the girl was about 17 years and seven months old at the time of the offence, five months short of the legal age of 18.

With no criminal intent and pre-meditation, he said Shaw made an "honest and reasonable mistake". The reasonable mistake was that the minor showed no signs of her age, either in appearance or behaviour.

Mr Harpeet Singh added "there was fraudulent misrepresentation in this case", as the minor "colluded" with the pimp to hide her real age. He added that the minor was neither coerced into having sex, nor was she a victim of human trafficking.

Given the circumstances, Mr Harpeet Singh asked for a conditional discharge or a fine.

Shaw is the second of the 51 men to be dealt with in the online vice ring crackdown.

In April, the former principal of Pei Chun Public School, Lee Lip Hong, was sentenced to nine weeks' jail for a similar offence with the same underage girl.

The 39-year-old was released from Changi Prison in June after serving six weeks' jail. The early remission was because of his good behaviour.

-CNA/ac
 
Simple computatio


School prinicipal who did not employ a lawyer got 9 weeks.

Harold Shaw employ SC gets 12 weeks.

So those who employ lawyers lower on the food chain will get between 10 & 11 Weeks
 
He is not a first time criminal. This guy has consistently shown a disdain for the laws of the country. I say send his backside to Changi Cove for 18 months! Recalcitrant criminals should not be treated lightly.

Ok la for different 'crimes'...he is ex jailbird but different offences in eyes of law is newbie and not repeat offender.
To be fair this previous conviction was drink driving....
Both his offences can happen to anyone
