Shamu is not doing justice to his NUS 1st Class Honors Degree in Law with his interpretation of LTK's words. To recap, LTK said if WP had done anything against the law, knowing PAP, they (WP) would be behind bars by now.
Well, I think you don't have to be a 1st Class Honors in Law to know that it's very different from saying "I can do anything I like because I don't go to jail".
For a start, Shamu being a Senior Counsel and Law Minister must surely know in Singapore, the burden of proof is on the party asserting that there has been wrongdoing, in this case, the PAP. You have to prove the truth of your assertion.
The fact is Shamu and his sidekick Khaw and Lawrence have failed to discharge the burden of proof. Now, I beginning to question the quality of NUS 1st Class Honors Degree in Law and the standard of Senior Counsels in Singapore, if he needs me to help him work backward:
1) The fact that LTK and SL are not in jail is because they have not been convicted in any court of law.
2) The fact that LTK and SL have not been convicted in any court of law is because they have not been charged by the AGC.
3) The fact that LTK and SL have not been charged by the AGC is because there is no evidence to suggest that they have committed any crime.
In other words, LTK is not saying WP can do anything because PAP cannot find evidence to charge them and put them in jail. Instead, LTK is saying despite PAP wanting to charge WP and put them in jail, PAP cannot do anything because there is simply no evidence.
Perhaps University of Mumbai is really better than NUS.
