Light Sentence for Ang Moh Insulting Poodle!

[makapaaa]

See how ridiculously light the sentence is when it comes to ang mohs scolding and insulting the poodles, while the likes of Gopalan reasoning with the poodles shadowing them are forced to "strip search" and endure protracted harassment in the Familee's KKJ court. 1 cuntry, 2 systems indeed!

<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->ONE of Singapore's top restaurateurs will not be driving his Maserati - or any other car - for the next two years.
Giuseppe De Vito, 35, who owns the Il Lido chain of restaurants and also the Forlino, another Italian restaurant, was yesterday banned from driving for two years and fined $8,600 on three charges.
The Italian, who is a permanent resident and better known as Beppe De Vito, pleaded guilty to drink driving in the early hours of July 5 last year, dangerous driving and being abusive towards a policeman.
A traffic court heard that senior staff sergeant Goh Keng Seng was patrolling the junction of Stamford and Beach roads just before 3am that day when he saw De Vito driving in a dangerous manner.
He trailed the man to his home in Bournemouth Road in Katong.
On approaching him there, the police officer caught a strong whiff of alcohol. He put De Vito through a breathalyser test, which he failed.
Upon arrest, De Vito repeatedly hurled expletives at the officer, despite being warned.
At the police station later, his breath was found to contain 65mcg of alcohol for every 100ml of breath - almost twice the legal limit.
His lawyer Shashi Nathan from Harry Elias Partnership said in a written mitigation plea that his client, mired in marital problems, had recently been in a big fight with his wife which ended in her leaving their home. That day, he had gone to meet some close friends, who had wanted to cheer him up, and he had drinks with them.
Mr Nathan said his client, who has a four-year-old son, came to Singapore in 1995 and has been a permanent resident for 10 years. De Vito was deeply remorseful and was determined not to make the same mistakes again, added Mr Nathan.

Singapore Democrats

Mr Gopalan Nair has been sentenced to three months imprisonment today in the High Court. Judge Kan Ting Chiu heard submissions from both sides this morning and thereafter found Mr Nair guilty of "insulting" Judge Belinda Ang. He called the blogger back at 3 pm and passed the sentence.
Mr Nair was charged with insulting Judge Belinda Ang in his blog where he wrote about her handling of the defamation hearing between Lee Kuan Yew and the SDP. Mr Nair, a former Singaporean who is now a US citizen, will have to report to the court this Saturday to begin serving his sentence. He will appeal the sentence.

Activists hand over petition on Gopalan Nair to US embassy

Today, five activists handed a petition to the US embassy calling on the embassy to render Mr Gopalan Nair more assistance and work with the local authorities to expedite his request to return to the US to take care of his financial affairs and his law practice which has been adversely affected during his absence.However, Mr Nair’s request to return to the US must now be put on hold, as will be explained later.

Local activists Seelan Palay, Chong Kai Xiong, Muhd Khalis, Rachel Zeng and Ng E-Jay were met by US embassy staff Mr Learned Dees and Mr Aruna Amirthanayagam near the front gate of the embassy at around 2.30pm. They handed the petition to the officials and took a group photo.
The petition had garnered a total of 89 signatures, including signatures from Malaysian, Burmese and American supporters.
The activists emphasized that the petition was meant as a show of solidarity from members of the public, to which Mr Dees replied, “We will accept it as such.”
Today at around 5pm, Judge Kan Ting Chiu passed a 3 month jail sentence on Mr Gopalan Nair for insulting Judge Belinda Ang in a blog posting. Mr Nair is slated to begin his jail sentence on Saturday, 20 Sept. He will be appealing this sentence.
The case of allegedly insulting Justice Lai Siu Chiu in an email sent in 2006 has been stood down.
Since Mr Nair has been sentenced to jail, the earliest possible date he can return to the US is after his jail sentence. We hope at that time, the US embassy can continue working with local authorities to expedite his return.
Mr Nair was previously been fined $3,000 for using abusive words towards police officers and disorderly behaviour at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Race Course Road on July 4. He considered appealing against the conviction, but has since dropped his appeal.
The full text of the petition to the US embassy is as follows:

On 31 May 2008, Mr Gopalan Pallichadath Nair, a US citizen, was arrested at Broadway Hotel in Singapore while on vacation and charged with using insulting words towards High Court Judge Belinda Ang in an e-mail criticising her handling of a case. Justice Ang was presiding over a hearing to assess damages in a defamation suit that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew won against the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), its Secretary-General Chee Soon Juan and his sister Chee Siok Chin.
Mr Nair was remanded for one week at the Central Police Division to assist in investigations. His passport was also impounded.
On 5 June 2008, Mr Nair was released from custody, but his passport was not returned to him despite appeals from his lawyer. To this day, Mr Nair is unable to return to the US. His legal practice in Fremont California near San Francisco has been left in limbo and his finances have greatly suffered. Mr Nair’s home mortgage in the US is also in jeopardy and the possibility of his having to declare bankruptcy increases the longer he has to remain in Singapore.
Mr Nair vehemently denied sending any emails. His charge was subsequently amended to one of insulting Judge Belinda Ang in his blog post. In the days ahead, further charges were tendered against him: one of sending an insulting email to High Court Judge Lai Siu Chiu in 2006 while she was presiding over a contempt of court case involving SDP chief Chee Soon Juan, and one of disorderly behaviour in public and use of abusive language against police officers.
Mr Nair’s appeals to have his passport returned and for him to be allowed to go back to the US to attend to his personal finances and other matters have been repeatedly denied. This is despite the fact that he has posted a significant bail amount of several thousand dollars and has shown his willingness to cooperate with the authorities. Given that he is likely to have to remain in Singapore for a few more months to attend his various trials, granting Mr Nair’s request for a trip back home in the interim period is not only reasonable, but humane.
On behalf of Mr Nair, we appeal to the US embassy to work with the Singapore authorities to grant his request as soon as possible.

And the more dictatorial a Leegime is and the more coolie rice bowlers there are, the more grey it would be and be allowed to be?

If you have read without blinkers, you should have noticed that there is a big difference between the two offenders - regardless of their nationality or race.

One insulted a female judge and calling her a prostitute - can you accept that if someone used that term to describe your mother? The other probably imagine wanting to have sex with an older woman who is someone's mothe(KNNB) or wanting to have sex with another male (FY). This time it's a lower rank civil servant.

Anyway both foreigners should learn a good lesson that you can't mess around in another country and get away with it.

Anyway one was remorseful while the other still thought that he had the divine right to hurl abuses at any foreign authority because he is now adopted by a powerful country.

The drunk driving could injured or killed someone or whole family on the road. Gopal's insult (or revealing the "truth") to the judge only "hurts" a "prostitute" like her. So which is more serious and needs a greater sentence?

Exactly. Such instances of drunk drving and killing innocents are not uncommon and the law has to be very tough on this reckless act.

The only reason why ur supporting golampa calling the judge names is cause he is the same like you. If he was chinese. LOL we all know.
