TWO days after his two-year term as Attorney-General (A-G) ended, Singapore's most outspoken Public Prosecutor to date described his time in office as 'the longest two years of my life'.
Professor Walter Woon, who yesterday returned to the National University of Singapore (NUS) Law Faculty after a 13-year absence, said the job of A-G was not one he really wanted or enjoyed.
'I did it because I was asked to do the job,' he told The Straits Times in his first media interview since leaving the post on Saturday.
'If I wanted to argue with people all the time, I'd have gone into private practice and made millions,' he added.
During his two years as A-G, Prof Woon caught public attention when he appeared in person in several court cases.
Last month, for example, in an appeal brought by a man sentenced to death for drug trafficking, Prof Woon defended the constitutionality of Singapore's death penalty.

Hahahhaa that's because people here argue for all the wrong things, and therefore none are state-approved either.

Both public and private sectors don't want them. :cries and laughs uproariously:

[COLOR="_______"]Arguing to always defend PAP is the most boring things to do, and we all know about it. He should come into this forum to claim back his soul and do something more frutiful and interesting for the citizen of Singapore. He must get out of his guilt, and rebuilt his image by staying away from PAP.[/COLOR]

Heard from the grapevine the gahmen had enuf of this AG's overzealousness. The many court cases were overwhelming the system!

Many which should not have been prosecuted, went to court. Cases were lost. Appeals went wrong. Bcos of queer decisions by the justices, the gahmen looked bad and became a laughing stock to the world.

A case in point is that of a prison inmate who was infirmed. He needed daily care, cleaning and washing of his privates as he could not move. A nurse had to be provided for his daily needs. He was attended to personally. Everyday, he had to be brought from prison to attend court. This and many other prison inmates who had to be ferried to and fro to attend court cases, were putting an unneccessary strain.

Instead of letting this man go as he would be a burden, he was charged. All bcos of one man. The overzealous AG.

The DPPs just could not cope! They were overworked. Something has to give. The AG had to go!

Bye-bye to you Walter Woon. You are just too good for your own good! Adios!

We are only state disapproved , not only that, we all are 'imp kopi', and makan 'kari png' candidates... ha ha ha

Some of us, even qualify as associate members of the prestigious Buangkok Lodge

We are millionairs in our own right...rich in mind...

no wonder our courts r so ineffective..it becos of lazy ppl like him...

Teachers r all free loafers that earn too much. This is one profession, i would recommend a FT 4 it.

Singapore kangaroo system is driven by a bunch of greed who are than willing to be trapped by PAP (the darkside of the force) and chose to serve their darklord without soul and passion. That marks the beginning of sufferings from the poor and needy.

I don't really know or care why he decided not to seek reappointment, or who wasn't pleased with him, or what he and "certain others" may have disagreed about.

But one case that I read about and agree with what he did was the case whereby a woman was sentenced to 9 years jail for instigating her teenage boyfriend to kill her husband. He appealed for a life sentence, but the sentence was upheld, and the woman is now serving her 9 year sentence. Perhaps I don't know everything about the case, but this case sounds similar to the "Anthony Ler case". Anyone remember this? He insitgated a teenage boy to kill his ex wife and he was sentenced to death.
