Law favours the rich, & not the poor

[123456787654321]

Or you sure the law has anything to do with it? As far as people have existed, being rich has always been more advantageous that being poor.

I do somehow agree that the law favours the rich. I think partly because the government want more rich people to come to Singapore and invest in Singapore.

Singapore is presently considering legalising organ trading. If it realises, you may see even more RICH Indos at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, queueing up for organs, & lorries of POOR banglads queueing up to sell their organs.

Maybe got organ bidding too.... :(

I dont think they will make it such that POOR people can just sell their organs. Singapore still have to be diplomatic towards human rights or else the US migth just send a couple of tomahawks and flaten temasek.

I am sure they will put in so many regulations it will take the lawyers 10 years to figure out anything.

But the law to begin with is FAIR. just that singaporeans dont know their basic human rights. and the RICH can always change the facts with money. hence the perception of the law favouring them.

Do you agree? There are already so many cases. :(

Well not exactly. But the rich can employ a panel of lawyer to fight for them, whereas the poor cannot even afford a lawyer even in some cases, they wrong wrongth (liek civil case against big corpate bullies)

There will be no organ bidding... only COE for organs Actually I should not be laughing because it might just happen. :(

The law in practically all countries favours the rich. The rich can afford the most expensive and therefore the most capable legal minds to represent their interest. Its not the same for the poor and straight away you see the imbalance. Its truly an anamoly.

If one takes a sample of all cases, I am sure that those drawing a lesser or lower income tend to plead gulity.

In Singapore, especially where the previous CJ was concerned surprises ran across the whole spectrum of society including the legal fraternity. For some reason he also gave the strong impression that the right of appeal should not be part of the legal safety mechanism. It came to a stage where even if the client wanted to appeal, his lawyers were reluctant as they too faced quite hostile reaction.

The other issue was the courts and chamber dealing with politically related litigation such as the lee family law suits, NFK defamation suits, past AG's interpretation of polling station law. It was however good to see that there are indeed people with spines such as Rajendran and Michael Khoo.

Generally, the local system has done well compared to many other countries. My slant is that it had to perform credibily in the commercial world to bring in investment and commerce.

It would have been good if a select panel picked the Bench and the AG.

Seems like Singapore is expediting the amendment of the law to allow organ trading. Mr. Tang, the guy who offered S$300,000 for a kidney, does not seem to look well. Guess he needs the kidney urgently.

So sad.... :(

Since bibical times, the law has always favored the rich.

 

[sta1100]

Agree Bro, SIN law are for the LEE, MIW, Rich & Ang Mo, local no hope

Law favours the rich, & not the poor

The rich made the law, so the law was made to favor the rich

 

[pkcom]

i agree

cos the poor have no money to get lawyer

 

[myfoot123]

PAP must be gone so as to achieve justice, equality and happiness for our nation. For 40 over years, we have not seen the true meaning of equality nor justice applies equality in court. Happiness? too remote for peasants to feel it because all our monies have been bankrupt by the Lee family....and our CPF is no longer there for us to retire gracefully. There is still hope to see opposition parties coming into power in 2011 and that is where I still see light at the end of a long dark tunnel

Since bibical times, the law has always favored the rich.

Biblical times got rule of law meh?

 

[Himerus]

bro Wang Ye,
agreed with you,it may happen.
coz those riches can afford it and they are the ones that needs those organs badly.
too much good foods and bonkings liao lor.

 

[Hans168]

Absolutely!! Gahmen made litigation so bloody expensive that you simply surrender when sued as defending any lawsuit however strong you defence may be can bankrupt you... even if you win, your legal fees will be so huge that if made no difference if you had lost. AND to sue the rich and/or powerful is absolutely out of the question: he who wins either has deeper pocket or strong connections. SO CAN SINGAPOREANS EXPECT JUSTICE FROM OUR EXISTING LAWS & THE WAY THEY ARE ADMINISTERED??

 

[Hans168]

PS: remember the lawsuit brought about by TT Durai against two who said he flew first class on NKF business??? They were sued & threw in the towel - not becos they lied but becos he got less money than TT Durai who used NKF millions to sue them.

I think the poor should get the organ for free.. yeah.. Singapore should have the same Human right as USA, but dont think so we have !
