only in Singapore, instead of getting compensation for wrongly arrested, you end up paying to get yourself wrongly arrested. Its your fault to get wrongly arrested.

So what if he doesn't pay? At most, they can bankrupt him. After a number of years, he'll be discharged from bankruptcy.

I am sure most of us are scratching our heads over the outcome-what justice system is this ?
Is Shan allowed to criticize and attack the Court's decision on this?

That wretched man made false claims about the police assaulting him. He had to pay costs to AGC for those false claims.

LOL, only in totalitarian shithole Sinkieland.

You need to pay a 'fine' for any cockup by the judiciary.

Net profit of $8.8k, maybe inclusive of GST. So pandai!
