See how the FAPee Traitors misuse the so-called "RULE of LAW" by distorting it to kaput the Familee's crtics while and twisting it favourably or applying it 'frugally' where keeping their FTrash pets happy are concerned.

If this is not TREASON, what is?

FUCK THE FAMILEE TRAITORS!
FUCK THE FAPEE DOGS!
HOPE THEY DIE HORRIBLY!​

High Court Judge Choo Han Teck has overturned District Judge John Ng's decision to acquit five activists for conducting a procession in 2007. Mr Choo ordered that the matter return to DJ Ng for conviction and sentencing.

The AG's Chambers had appealed DJ Ng's decision to acquit Mr Gandhi Ambalam, Mr John Tan, Ms Chee Siok Chin, and Mr Chong Kai Xiong for walking from the Speaker' Corner to Queenstown Remand Prison on 16 Sep 07.

DJ Ng had found that the group was orderly and did not fit the definition of a procession as given in the Miscellaneous Offences Act (MOA), and acquitted the defendants.

The AG appealed his decision which was heard on 16 Mar 10. Mr Choo Han Teck had reserved his judgment after hearng submissions from both parties as well as from amicus curiae (friend of court) Ms Cheah Wui Leng, associate professor of the Law Faculty at NUS.

Ms Cheah's task was to assist the court in helping to derive the meaning of a "procession" under the MOA. She had agreed with DJ Ng that "because no disturbance occured and that the respondents were sometimes in pairs and sometimes singly," the activity cold not be interpreted as a procession.

Despite the opinion of Ms Cheah, Judge Choo decided otherwise. This is shocking especially in view of the fact that Ms Cheah was appointed by court itself. Ms Cheah wrote in her submissions:

It is respectfully suggested that the MOA Rules refer to processions that are organised and cause-based nature, based on the findings of the lower court, the respondents' behaviour does not fall within this definition.
​

The matter reverts back to DJ Ng who will now have to convict and sentence the defendants. When approached by reporters outside the courtroom, Mr Ambalam said: "The Judge's ruling did not come as a surprise."

A simple act of conducting a walk that, even according to the court, posed no public disorder or nuisance is not allowed in Singapore. Yet Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong insists that Singapore is a democracy based on the rule of law.

In one of the most protracted case for a minor offence, High Court Judge Choo Han Teck yesterday overturned District Judge John Ng’s decision to acquit five Singapore activists for conducting a “procession” in 2007 and ordered the matter return to him for conviction and sentencing.
The five Singaporeans were charged for taking part in a “procession” without a permit on 16 September 2007. They were wearing T-shirts with the words ‘Democracy Now’ and ‘Freedom Now’ with a picture of a lighted candle and walked from the Speakers’ Corner along North Bridge Road to Parliament House and then along Bras Basah Road to the Istana and then along Orchard Road to the Queenstown Remand Prison.
The case was heard by District Judge John Ng in October last year who acquitted the five for taking part in an illegal procession:
“I am fortified in my views when I consider that the principal [Miscellaneous Offences] Act and the Rules were meant to relate to offences against public order, nuisance and property. The walk which had taken place did not impede or cause any disruption to the flow of vehicular traffic or the movement of pedestrians,” he concluded.
The Attorney-General’s Chambers has filed an appeal against the acquittal which was subsequently overturned by High Court Judge Choo Teck Han.
An associate professor of NUS Law Faculty told the Court that she had agreed with DJ Ng’s submissions “because no disturbance occured and that the respondents were sometimes in pairs and sometimes singly, the activity could not be interpreted as a procession.”
She added:
“It is respectfully suggested that the Miscellaneous Offences Act Rules refer to processions that are organised and cause-based nature, based on the findings of the lower court, the respondents’ behaviour does not fall within this definition.”
Despite the opinion of the expert witness appointed by the Court, High Judge Choo went ahead and overturned the acquittal.
It is not known how much the case, which has dragged on for more than three years, had cost Singapore taxpayers.
International NGO Human Rights Watch had described Singapore as a “classic textbook example of a politically repressive state” in its annual report released recently which is surely corroborated by this case
