When you are at that level, you learn about making politically relevant decisions. Actually he should have said that it was an infringement with no wrongful gain and issued a warning. They did it for Tin Pei Ling's asst.
I remember one coroner's case involving the death of an OCS cadet. The Training Officers conspired to perjure themselves until one of them for religious reasons broke ranks and spoke of the conspiracy in the middle of the hearing. it was splashed all over the papers. The next day GCT as Minister of Defence called the DJ and told him to return an open verdict and end the inquiry on the basis that he will take action against the officers. They will eventually sacked.
The proper thing was to allow the Coroner to go thru the process and making his findings plus the damaging part about the SAF. So we lose transparency, lose accountability over the courts and integrity gets washed away because someone wanted to look good.

Lawyers and integrity? Anyway I think his line of argument is like the previous CJ who said being inside polling station is not within 200 m of the polling station. Black can say is white.
Fortunately for us, he does not have the power of old man in sinkieland, so his twisted argument can't go far.
