Singapore becoming more communists, cannot even say your personal opinion.
Do you want to live in this type of NKorea? Or you'd rather have open robust debates, however nasty it may be?

Surely he should be entitled to his own opinion.
Why slaughter him until like that?
I am sure many people have the same opinion as Mr Chia. So we must be hypocritical about it and hide our true and honest opinion to encourage wokism?

He is a lawyer but he wasn't speaking in Court or during a trial. The rules of evidence do not apply to him in such a situation. AWARE is apparently not aware.

I find that the Law Minister labeling Mr Chia as a misogynist is not right and defamatory

His chap just sharing his opinion nothing wrong
Mr Chia is married, has a wife, a mother, probably a daughter or two and a law practice partner who is a lady.
In Singapore context, to publicly label someone misogynistic is to throw a bloody meat to the sharks in AWARE. True enough, it didn't take too long for AWARE to bite the bait.
There was no direct evidence that the woman was raped. If convicted, it would be based on circumstantial evidence. Mr Chia was merely casting doubts on the circumstances.
The rules of evidence are already skewed in favour of the victim, and I fully agree that no woman should be at the receiving end of the offence of rape. However, if the Defendant is not allowed to cast aspersions on the victim's defense, how is the Prosecution going to prove the guilt of the Defendant beyond a reasonable doubt when the latter is not allowed to cast doubts to begin with?
