Dear A.S.S. Editors,
Human rights lawyer M Ravi has been hospitalised since 17 July (he is still in hospital).
On the day that he was hospitalised – he was supposed to appear in court as the bank mortgagee had sued to foreclose on his 3-room HDB flat, for the arrears of $7,452.
Although the mortgagee’s lawyers were informed by telephone on that day that he was hospitalised and a letter was sent two days later (19 July) attaching medical documentary evidence that he was unable to attend court on that day (17 July) – the court replied on 20 July that “In the morning of 17 July 2017, Summons 2375 of 2017 was dismissed and judgement was granted to the Plaintiff”.
M Ravi has been fighting for so many constitutional law cases (such as the Hougang by-election – whether the Government must hold a by-election, the amendment to the Elected Presidency, etc); as well as fully or partly pro bono for so many cases, like Roy Ngerng’s defamation suit, Han Hui Hui’s illegal demonstration and public nuisance at Hong Lim park, several death penalty cases, etc.
I believe he has never asked for funding for himself, but only for Singaporeans – like his recent fund raising to challenge the amendment to the Elected Presidency.
If you ask me – he should have been asking for funding for his HDB flat, instead of for the Elected Presidency just a few weeks ago!
His license to practice law has been suspended for a total of about four years.
Please help M Ravi as he may become homeless, when he comes out of the hospital.
I would like to appeal to 7,452 Singaporeans to give $1 each. Please help to share this meaningful activity with your friends.
