[wongkc]

Ya sia, he like the Suits Mike ross

Nope... He is more like Harvey Specter...

We need a "Donna" in this case...

 

[mryang]

I find Mr Jumabhoy questioning style suits US jury system more... he casts a lot of reasonable doubt into witnesses account... a lot of inconsistencies in witnesses evidence... the juries sure got a lot of doubts about the reliability of the witnesses...

But here is Judge base system... so ultimately still up to the judge to decide...

he is
UK Train a barrister

I think the proper term is 'bench trial'.

Plenty of arguments over which is 'better' .... bench trial or jury trial.

Each to their own, I suppose.

everything smells of karma in play.

It helps that PS seems to believe in karma too.

"My sense at that time was that he was very afraid of Minister Shanmugam and of the government and I remember him ... conveying that if the party were to keep the lie the party would get bad karma for it," said Mr Nathan.

Both have its merits and disadvantage...

Actually why not have a hybrid system... for criminal and most civil cases can use Bench Trial...

But for more sensitive cases and cases that potentially can be influenced/biased by higher power/people or political in nature... use Jury System...

but then... PAP sure wun want Jury System... and to be fair... no political ruling power will want it...

 

[Capitalist]

As the good old saying goes, You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.


and conveniently, you chose to ignore what transpired during this trial as well....

That chronological sequence is furnished by 'Mr Singh laid out the timeline of events'.

While PAP has her own flaws, .. hey! Nobody's perfect! ... it doesn't sit well, at least with me, that the LOTO allowed his member to persist with a lie, .. when he, along with couple of others, were aware she's outright lying since 6 weeks ago.

In Parliament no less. On such a platform.

Will PAP be allowed such allowances/tolerance, if LHL/LW had knowingly allowed one of their MPs to push on with a false narrative, in a Parliament .. and essentially to the public, including his/her constituents?

Fair is fair, no?

 

[NTB2DO]

So it sounds like he is the one who wanted to maintain the narrative in the first place.

sounds like he had beef with pritam because pritam didn't want to speak on behalf of RK about the lie and wanted her to come clean herself.

He blames the wrong person though, it's not PS but RK who started it all.. who got he, LPY and many many more into trouble.

Lee Hsien Loong also did not say anything for about 2 years when he knew the affair between Tan Chuan Jin and Cheng Li Hui rite? Which one more serious?
