Goh Jin Hian is going to jail soon but his shameless and bastard father, Goh Chok Tong, still behaving like statesman , keep updating his Facebook

The public understands that no judge will dare to rule against a PAP politician/loved one after the demotion of Senior District Judge Michael Khoo many years ago for daring to acquit J B Jeyaretnam. LKY ensured that a clear and unmistakeable signal was sent to the Judiciary that day. To this day, no judge dares to risk his livelihood by ensuring that justice is done.

You just hit the nail on its head - Goh is not in the magic circle. A jail term therefore awaits him.

Sometimes you have to visualize yourself as a judge and see things from the perspective of the judge. If there was to be any "give chance", the most difficult part for the judge would be writing a discourse on the grounds of judgment. The judgment will be read and analyzed by law students in NUS and SMU for decades to come, and students will fire questions at the Associate Professors. Even a corrupt judge wants face, and this is the reason "give chance" must start at the prosecutorial stage as the law gives a carte blanche to the prosecution to decide on the charges to be preferred, otherwise known as prosecutorial discretion.

Most victims would not even be aware of the availability of corresponding charges in the Penal Code which may prescribe a more serious penalty than the one that was preferred against the accused, until the sentence was pronounced at the end of the trial. Look no further than the father whose daughter's CB was stretched many times by a MediaCorp iandao.

In OBS case, when the prosecution decided to charge the Olan ahead of OBS while waited for the case of the Olan to finally complete before proceeding to charge OBS, you know something was amiss. In any normal situation, to convict the Olan of receiving a bribe in the context of corruption and not just "obtaining gratification as a public servant," OBS being the "briber" would have been the star witness and should have been inducted as a prosecution witness for the the Olan's case, just as Cecilia did during the trial of the CNB chief.

Well, the CNB chief managed to get away because there was room for manoeuver in suggesting that the BJ given at multiple venues in Singapore could be attributed to love and romance (正所謂情之所至), not necessarily a bribe. The relationship between OBS and the Olan was of a different genre altogether. To take a leaf from a certain Goh, both were straight.

During the run up to the Olan's case, there was no suggestion during the PTCs that OBS would be the witness for the prosecution. Instead, the prosecution decided to drop the corruption charges because of a familiar animal called litigation risk. However, nobody explained what the risk was. Again, to take a leaf from another Goh, in any litigation in Singapore I worry if there is no litigation risk. It means the outcome is decided even before the trial begins - if there is no litigation risk.

Goh Junior understands the power of prosecutorial discretion, and this is the reason the number of PTCs has broken the Guinness World Records. Once the matter is fully in the hands of the Court, it's the judge who has to worry about writing the grounds of judgment. And now that 2 of the 4 accomplices have pleaded guilty and begun serving their respective jail sentences, to a large extent the hands of both the prosecution and the judge are tied.

It would be next to impossible to let him go without even a nominal jail term, and without the judge himself becoming the laughingstock of the legal fraternity.

這樣的答覆，文雄滿意嗎？ :cool: :rolleyes:​

May be judge can get mc that day? :unsure:
 
The PAP values the Privy Council as long as its rulings align with the govt's interests. However, when the Privy Council overturned the conviction of opposition politician JB Jeyaretnam in 1988. The Privy Council's judgment was highly critical of the S'pore Supreme Court's handling of the case, stating that Jeyaretnam had suffered a "grievous injustice." Shortly after this ruling, the PAP moved to abolish appeals to the Privy Council for certain cases, citing that the judges were "out of touch with local conditions." The hypocrisy of this claim is plain to see, as the same Minister had previously praised the Privy Council as a "litmus test of our judicial system's independence."

Former Senior District Judge Michael Khoo became an example of the judiciary's vulnerability to political pressure in S'pore. After a judgment he delivered was reversed on appeal, he was publicly criticised for alleged judicial incompetence by then-PM LKY. While his original judgment was later upheld by the Privy Council, the vindication came too late, as Michael Khoo resigned from his position.
