[Mdm Tang]

.



SINGAPORE: The four ex-SMRT drivers from China who have been charged with instigating an illegal strike have been granted bail on Thursday.

He Jun Ling, who faces two charges of inciting SMRT drivers to take part in the strike on 26 and 27 November, was granted bail of S$20,000. His passport will have to be impounded.

According to court documents, He, 32, also made an online post about the strike on Chinese website Baidu, allegedly asking other workers to go on MC together.

Gao Yue Qiang, 32, Wang Xian Jie, 39 and Liu Xiang Ying, 33, were granted bail of S$10,000 each. Their passports will have to be impounded.

In response to a question from District Judge May Lucius Mesenas, the four accused said they're not able to raise the money.

Two officials from the Chinese embassy were present in court.

The four SMRT drivers from China charged with instigating last week's strike, have been granted bail.

It is not clear, however, if they will be able to raise the funds to get out of remand before the case against them is mentioned again in court next Wednesday.

Gao Yue Qiang, 32, Liu Xiangying, 33, and Wang Xianjie, 39, have been granted bail of $10,000, while He Jun Ling, 32, who faces a second charge of inciting the strike needs to raise $20,000.

All four have indicated in court that they wish to engage lawyers to represent them, although a Chinese Embassy official told The Straits Times late Wednesday night that legal representation for the men has been arranged.

The first one jailed was to test water. Now buying time and waiting for the heat to cool down.
Fuck the PAP, no fucking balls when dealing with FTs....the remaining 4 would not have seen sunlight if they were Singaporeans.

Since PRC govt is involved, I cannot send any of those lawyers to IMH, but I'll note their names for future reference.

My firm is also interested in PRC business and I can't afford to offend their govt. Nor can I afford to offend the PAP. What a conundrum!

I believe in rule BY law and not rule OF law - better to act against my conscience when my personal monetary interests dictate.
