Well... that's the judiciary of a totalitarian shithole. This is what happens when the legislative, executive and judiciary clusterfuck together, and the Supreme Leeder can suka suka do anything he wants on a whim.
And it looks like those within the Familee are not spared.

SINGAPORE: Mr Li Shengwu, the nephew of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, said on Wednesday (Jan 22) that he "will not continue to participate" in a contempt of court case.
The 35-year-old is being sued by the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) for allegedly saying in a private Facebook post in 2017 that Singapore has a "pliant court system", and that the government was "very litigious".

In another Facebook post on Wednesday, Mr Li said the prosecution against him "has continued for years".
"During that time, the AGC has submitted thousands of pages of legal documents over one paragraph on social media," Mr Li said.
The AGC recently applied to "strike out" parts of his defence affidavit, said Mr Li, with the result that they will not be considered at the trial.
"Moreover, they demanded that these parts be sealed in the court record, so that the public cannot know what the removed parts contain," he said.
Mr Li added that this was "not an isolated incident, but part of a broader pattern of unusual conduct by the AGC".
"For instance, when arguing jurisdiction in the court of appeals, the AGC argued that a new piece of legislation should be retroactively applied against me," said Mr Li, adding that the court saw it as unfair for the new legislation to apply retrospectively.
"In light of these events, I have decided that I will not continue to participate in the proceedings against me," said Mr Li.
"I will not dignify the AGC’s conduct by my participation."
Mr Li said that he would continue to be active on Facebook and continue regarding his friends-only Facebook posts as private.
He added that he also has removed his cousin and Prime Minister Lee's son, Li Hong Yi, from his Facebook friends list.

After Mr Li made the post in 2017, Senior State Counsel Francis Ng said in a letter that the post was an “egregious and baseless attack” on the Singapore legal system.
He asked Li to apologise and sign a declaration that he had made false allegations and was in contempt of the judiciary.
Mr Li did not concede and said that his private Facebook post was taken "completely out of context" and that any criticism he made was “in good faith”. If found guilty of contempt of court, Li could face fines or jail.
In August 2017, the AGC filed an application in the High Court to initiate committal proceedings against Mr Li for contempt of court after he refused to take down the Facebook post, although he did amend it to “clarify (his) meaning”.
In March 2018, the High Court dismissed his application to set aside the court order granting the AGC to serve papers on him. Last April, the Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal against the High Court's decision.
Mr Li has said he does not intend to return to Singapore to face the contempt proceedings.
The case came amid a wider public feud among the children of former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, which has pitted Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong against his siblings Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Wei Ling. Mr Lee Hsien Yang is Mr Li's father.

As a father, would you let you own son be bullied and beaten by your own brother.
You must protect your own son, get even with that faggard lee hsien loong, punish that useless bastard lee hsien loong
so that fucking lee hsien loong and his cronies dare not disturb or threaten any of your family members anymore.
Show them you are not a coward father but a brave father who would sacrifice anything for the safety of your family members.
You have to put a stop to your own brother's despicable actions otherwise that faggard lee hsien loong is going to go after more of your
family members and relatives.
