I remember a case where a foreign student in Canada who was caught shop lifting had to leave Canada because of the conviction.

So did this convicted criminal have to leave Spore

why no canings on his bare buttocks?

Let me guess, is it because he was a "British businessman"

 

[GoldenDragon]

Committing a similar offence while on bail and let off with 1k fine is a slap on the face of S'poreans. Try doing it yourself and see if you get a 1k fine too.

Thought the Great S'pore Sale was over. Boxing Day Sale also over and yet our courts are on sale.

I remember a similar case of an indian drunk who was caught shoplifting in 7-11 also.
I think he opened a can of beer and start drinking it or something. Can't remember his sentence but my guess is he got alot more than this "British Businessman".

He should be sentenced to life imprisonment like this African-American who had to spend 16 years in an American jail for armed robbery of US$11.

JACKSON, Miss. – A debate is unfolding over an unusual offer from Mississippi's governor: He will free two sisters imprisoned for an armed robbery that netted $11, but one woman's release requires her to donate her kidney to the other......

The sisters are black, and their case has been a cause celebre in the state's African-American community.

The Scotts were convicted in 1994 of leading two men into an ambush in central Mississippi the year before. Three teenagers hit each man in the head with a shotgun and took their wallets — making off with only $11, court records said.

After 16 years in prison, Jamie Scott, 36, is on daily dialysis, which officials say costs the state about $200,000 a year.

Brit businessman fined for Christmas shoplifting

In court on Friday, Pugh, who arrived here on Dec 11, said he was intoxicated. He was fined $1,000.

Someone should test the fairness of the courts by doing exactly the same thing as the Brit businessman - steal 4 bootles of Heineken beer from a 7-Eleven store in River Valley Road on Christmas Day, then open and drink a 187ml bottle of Jacob's Creek wine in the NTUC Fairprice store in City Square Mall in Kitchener Road. Then leave the store carrying a bag of five oranges and a big bottle of Rosemount wine stuffed in the back pocket of his jeans, without paying for any of the items.

Make sure to be caught and arrested and charged in court.

It should be interesting, this case.

I said someone and no, I don't mean me.

I think that if you born with a particular surname, you are spared of anything .....:o

Make sure the second offence is committed while on bail.
