S'pore Law Society raps Canadian lawyers

The Law Society has criticised a Canadian lawyers' group for trying to influence a pending disciplinary matter involving human rights activist lawyer M. Ravi.

In a strongly worded letter sent yesterday to the Lawyers' Rights Watch Canada (LRWC), the society also expressed concern the group had gained access to confidential data about Mr Ravi's medical condition and disciplinary charges.

"We consider it highly inappropriate for you to... intervene in this matter, especially in view of the fact that you do not appear to be in possession of all the facts and have given a false and misleading impression on various matters," wrote Law Society president Thio Shen Yi.

The LRWC, a group of Canadian lawyers promoting human rights and the rule of law, had posted a letter on its website earlier this month, urging the society to drop disciplinary charges against Mr Ravi and support his application to renew his practising certificate.

The group disclosed that he faced four misconduct charges before a disciplinary tribunal in relation to incidents over four days in February. It claimed that a medical report by psychiatrist Munidasa Winslow had indicated Mr Ravi was suffering from a bipolar disorder and had experienced a "hypomanic episode" at the time, which explained his behaviour.

Among other things, it cited a letter attributed to Dr Winslow which claimed Mr Ravi's condition had stabilised and both were working towards avoiding a relapse.

In the society's response, Senior Counsel Thio said: "You are essentially asking the Law Society to intervene in disciplinary proceedings involving Mr Ravi that have been convened in full compliance with our laws. This is not only highly inappropriate, but appears to be based on a lack of understanding of our statutory laws."

He added that disciplinary tribunals are independent of the Law Society, which was in "no position" to direct them on how they should deal with matters before them.

He also said LRWC's various references to Mr Ravi's medical condition and the confidential reports issued by his doctor which were published on the website were a "serious breach" of Mr Ravi's medical confidentiality and Singapore's Personal Data Protection laws.

Noting there was no indication that either man had consented to the publication of the LRWC letter, Mr Thio asked the group to clarify the circumstances in which they had obtained the confidential information, and if consent had indeed been given.

He added it was unclear if LRWC's assurance that Mr Ravi's behaviour was not likely to recur had been provided by the group or a qualified medical practitioner who had examined and evaluated him. "Please identify who you are referring to, as we are not aware that any qualified medical practitioner has provided such 'assurance'," said Mr Thio.

A second letter by the LRWC, similar in content to the letter addressed to the Law Society, was sent last week to the Disciplinary Tribunal. Both letters were signed by LRWC executive director Gail Davidson and lawyer Kimberley Hawkins. Lawyer Eugene Thuraisingam, who is defending Mr Ravi at the tribunal hearing later this week, said the main issue will "be his mental condition at that time".

Senior Counsel Thio said: "You are essentially asking the Law Society to intervene in disciplinary proceedings involving Mr Ravi that have been convened in full compliance with our laws. This is not only highly inappropriate, but appears to be based on a lack of understanding of our statutory laws."

Was it? That is his personal opinion, not that of the law fraternity. Ravi is being persecuted.
Thio is just a mouthpiece of the PAP; his rice bowl is protected by the PAP.
You would think that a Senior Counsel should know better ...if the law violates fundamental tenet of human rights, then the latter supercedes.

Noting there was no indication that either man had consented to the publication of the LRWC letter, Mr Thio asked the group to clarify the circumstances in which they had obtained the confidential information, and if consent had indeed been given.

Did Thio said anything when Ravi's medical record was made public by the PAP?

The Law Society is supposed to protect lawyers. Under Mr. Thio, the Law Society assist the PAP in persecuting critics of the dictatorship.

More info on Thio, the PAP crony ...

Shen Yi is not just one of TSMP's founding partners, but also a leading figure in the legal community. He was appointed Senior Counsel in 2008 at the early age of 40, and is often cited as a leading individual in Dispute Resolution in the top international legal publications. His practice is in dispute resolution, primarily as counsel, and occasionally as arbitrator.

His sister ....family is loaded, yet she makan THREE scholarships from PAP government ....scholarships that many financially in need could have benefited from.

Thio Li-ann (Chinese: 张黎衍; pinyin: Zhāng Líyǎn; born 10 March 1968) is a Singaporean law professor at the National University of Singapore. She was educated at the University of Oxford, Harvard Law School and the University of Cambridge. In January 2007, she was appointed a Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) in Singapore's 11th Parliament.[1]
Thio was educated at the Singapore Chinese Girls' School (1975–1984) and Hwa Chong Junior College (1984–1986), at the latter on a Humanities Award from the Ministry of Education. She took a Bachelor of Arts (B.A. (Hons.)) in Jurisprudence at Keble College, Oxford[5] between 1987 and 1990.[2] At Oxford she was awarded the Law Moderations Book Prize (Constitutional Law, Criminal Law and Roman Law) in 1988. She was called to the Bar as a barrister at Gray's Inn in 1991.[5]
Thio joined the Faculty of Law of the NUS as a Senior Tutor in 1991, and was appointed Lecturer in 1992. That same year she embarked on postgraduate law studies at Harvard Law School on a National University of Singapore Overseas Graduate Scholarship, and obtained a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in 1993.[6] She returned to NUS, where in 1997 she was appointed an Assistant Professor. Between 1997 and 2000 she carried out Ph.D. research at the University of Cambridge on another NUS Overseas Graduate Scholarship, and was duly conferred this degree in 2000.

And the sister is a homophobic...

In October 2007, the Parliament of Singapore reviewed the Penal Code.[17] In the course of doing so, it decided not to repeal section 377A of the Code and thus continued to criminalise sexual activity between males. In the course of the debate in Parliament, Thio gave a speech to support the continued criminalisation of sexual activity between males, and likened gay sex to "shoving a straw up your nose to drink."

Thio was to be a visiting human rights professor at New York University School of Law in the fall of 2009 until she withdrew her acceptance in July 2009.[29][30] Her appointment prompted many to call for condemnation of her "anti-gay hate speech" before Parliament.[18] The University's gay and lesbian law student group, NYU OUTLaw, released a statement calling for the condemnation.[31][32][33]

His mother ...also a homophobic...and thinks she is also a psychologist, citing stuff she didn't know ...what an idiot

Mother is Dr. Thio (née Huang) Su Mien, former Dean of the Faculty of Law of the National University of Singapore (NUS) and presently Senior Executive Director of TSMP Law Corporation;[3] her brother, Thio Shen Yi, is Joint Managing Director of the same law firm.[4]

Dr. Thio Su Mien came to the attention of the Singaporean public in 2003 when she sent a letter to The Straits Times stating her strong disagreement with homosexuality.[36] The letter, signed by eight persons, was in response to a speech by the then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong in which he mentioned that the Civil Service would not discriminate against employing homosexual individuals. On 9 February 2006, Dr Thio Su Mien also wrote another letter to The Straits Times which, amongst other things, stated her belief that the American Psychiatric Association had ceased to regard homosexuality as a mental disorder due to "pressure tactics from homosexual activists — including riots and disruptions of APA meetings".

In 2009, a group of conservative Christian women from the Church of Our Savior, under the leadership of Josie Lau and orchestrated by Dr Thio, took over the executive council of the group alleging AWARE, a non-governmental organization in Singapore concerned with promoting gender equality. 6 of the 11 newly elected executive committee were church members who had only joined the group 3 months prior to the election, and 80 of the 120 attendees of the meeting were similarly new members from the church.[38] The old guard called for a no-confidence vote and the new council was voted out of office on 2 May 2009.[39] Of the 2,175 people who voted at the meeting, 1,414 voted for the no-confidence.[40] Deputy Prime minister Wong Kan Seng commented that "a group of conservative Christians, all attending the same church, which held strong views on homosexuality, had moved in and taken over AWARE because they disapproved of what AWARE had been doing", and called for tolerance, cautioning that religion and politics must be kept separate.[41]
