Since when does the useless poodles bother about such cases, it's a surprise that they gave a shit.
Normally $50 would not be enough, but in this case, most people would be willing to do it for free.
Apparently, public opinion counts.

Public opinion should count when criminals are punished: Shanmugam
If the punishment imposed in criminal cases does not reflect the weight of public opinion and society at large finds it unfair, then the law will lose its credibility and become difficult to enforce, said Law Minister K Shanmugam.
He stressed that this did not meaning bowing to public pressure, “You enhance the penalty (for a certain law) to reflect what people feel is the right penalty, what conduct should be more severely punished — that is not bowing down; that is understanding where the weight of public opinion is.”
Speaking in an exclusive interview with TODAY last week, the minister added, “Penalties and criminal laws can only be enforced if people believe that they are fair and that certain conduct ought to be made criminal … Otherwise they lose credibility.”
A string of recent high profile cases, such as the ones involving sex offender Joshua Robinson and the City Harvest Church leadership, has caused a public outcry due to perceptions that the sentences meted out were too light. For example, after Robinson was sentenced to four years’ jail for having sex with two 15-year-old girls, an online petition calling for a harsher sentence for Robinson has since garnered almost 30,000 signatories.
This led to Shanmugam directing his ministries to re-evaluate punishments for sex offenders, as well to review laws on other offences. This month in Parliament, he also announced a review of the laws relating to the abuse of foreign domestic workers, in the wake of a Singaporean couple who were jailed for starving their maid over a period of 15 months. The husband was sentenced to three weeks’ jail and fined S$10,000, while the wife was sentenced to three months’ jail.
But the minister said that these reviews should not be taken as an indictment of the work of the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC).
Shanmugam added that public reaction to individual cases does not necessarily lead to a review of the laws, pointing out that drugs, drink-driving, and false and malicious allegations against public officers are some offences that have been flagged recently for review.
“Even without public expression, when I see a sentence (and if) I see these needs to be looked at … (where) I feel need a review, I announce them. And that is our job.
Referring to the Robinson case, he said, “When there is a reaction to a sentence by the public, as in the Joshua Robinson case, then I think it is important for us as policymakers to sit down and understand why people are upset.”
He added, “But it doesn’t mean automatically you agree with it. You must assess it, whether it is also fair. So, there are two parts to it — one, whether it is fair; two, what does the public believe is right.”

Woman in red shirt sitting is the owner of the Rojak Stall. I frequent the place regularly but was not there the evening it happened. If not you will know who am I when I get arrested for causing grievous hurt. Cause I am known to too many of the stall owners.

Sham finally realized how pissed off Sinkies are with LHL sleeping on the job for the past 20 years.
The CHC saga is a BIG SLAP TO THEIR FACES....if this crime of the same magnitude was committed by some lesser mortals, who does not have the money, connections & benefits like Conn Hee fark! Choy!, will spend a long time in Changi Resort.
You have money, connections , you can get a hefty discounts...even those who do not study LAW...the lesser mortals of the coffee shops can understand...
Did the Ah Pek use to vote for Chiam See Tong in the Past ???
This is why I've predicted that the PAP will lose the "lesser" mortal votes.
They probably got the votes in the last GE because of the fear & uncertainty but in the next GE there should be many more desperate & pissed off "lesser" mortals.
However the PAP will still be in power because of all the "new" Sporeans.

You're spinning it the wrong way dumbfuck.
Ah Peh getting karma for switching his vote to pap.
By virtue that Singapore is really and island city that calls itself a country, has no natural resources, all food and fuel has to be imported and even water supply is dependent on having fuel and energy supply to purify or desalinate, singapore will always have fear & uncertainty.
Talk so much about water supply and price but if there is an energy crisis singapore's so called high tech water self sufficient is a dead duck.
People who live in Singapore never get out of the fear & uncertainty mindset.
Think of yourself sailing in the open ocean in a high tech small tiny yatch. Fear & uncertainty? Check weather and winds constantly? Can sail against rough water ? Better dun lah. Stay safe.
Not like aircraft carrier or oil tanker. Granted can still be sunk but not so paranoid.
The "new" Sporeans would be, the Indians, Filipinos, Myanmars, Vietnamese, not so many PRC these days. We have to factor in, the other New Sporeans, the Malaysians PR who settled down here or the Indonesians, mostly Chinese. These people bring along with them, the ingrained hatred for the "M", & other unsavoury habits & attitudes. Maybe the couple are the PRs from Malaysia, The woman, rude, & low class, the man, behave like a 'samseng'.
It maybe locals too..thank in part to the 'good education' they received....of of my neighbour kids.....you hear them conversing, you can hear, "mah", "mei', 'le'..."walau eh", " oh my god', or ' wah lan eh'...& they are in primary schools....have education...but low class.
In the last few elections, the PAP figured out that, the swing in votes is the 'heavy weight belt' of Post WWII & the 50's generation & the 60's too....this account for about 1 million plus voters...that was why the implemented the PIONEER thingy & singing the OLD IS GOld" song & we look after you etc...in the last election, many of those in those groups, voted solidly for the PAP plus the "newbies"...that was why the oppositions despite the massive turnout...was trounced.
You have plenty of "candies' to throw like the PAP....you can be sure to capture the hearts & minds of the "lesser mortals"...money can move mountains....change black into white...
Btw PM Lee at Redhill Hawker centre got "Chop" sit or not ?
Tai Ji Tua Teow liao
Daugher of Ah Pek Choot Chiew liao ...
