Judge not amused by kangaroo t-shirts

The Singapore Law Watch reports on the sentencing of 3 men who attended court as spectators wearing t-shirts that showed a kangaroo dressed as a judge.

Justice Judith Prakash, found the men guilty of contempt of court and gave them jail time, as their t-shirts constituted the "worst form of insult possible against the court system here by calling it a 'kangaroo court' ...

'The imputation that the Singapore courts are 'kangaroo courts' was a
serious and scurrilous insult that struck at the foundation, the body and the spirit of the justice system in Singapore,' she said in explaining her decision and sentencing."

Wow, it's a good thing they weren't chewing gum as well ...

Juffrie was yesterday with us in Sub Court wearing TBT T-shirt the original. He appeared before NOT ONE BUT AT LEAST 2 DIFFERENT JUDGES @ COURT 5 & COURT 10, and judges did not seem to have any problem with that T-shirt leh.

​

Activists will be sending off Juffrie on Saturday (tomorrow) to Court 26, that he become the 1st of the 19 TBT Activists to go to QRP Resort :-). His wife Suraya still with the rest of us on trial. Due to his work committment and need to take care of the 3 children Juffrie can not stay along with the trial. He wore the Original Red TBT T-shirt to court yesterday, and scolded the Malay interpreater before the trial court (Court 10) when charges were read to him, I have no idea what was the contention but some how the interpreater pissed him off.

The judge did not want to accept him to plea guilty for the reason that he is in contention with the Statement Of Facts tendered by DPP Izzac Tan. The contention is that it stated Wrongly to alleged that Juffrie knew that Permit Application Was Rejected.

The irony in famiLEE LEEgime's court yesterday was that one had to lie to court in order that plea guilty can be accepted!

Juffrie won the applaude of entire group of TBT activist in court 10 after he read out his statement, asserting that he did nothing wrong, and is pround and firm about what he he did on 15.Mar.2008 at Parliament for World's Consummer Rights Day, and Tak Boleh Tahan.

He will be going to prison for 8 days for total of 2 charges, (4 days each) he will not pay the famiLEE LEEgime a single cent in fine. But the fine was $600+$600=$1200.
