Singapore: A woman fighting a 6-year-old case against the Government for wrongful dismissal, caused drama in the High Court when she launched into a speech and continually disobeyed the judge to stop.

Former civil servant, Linda Lai Swee Lin, is hoping to get her old job back in the Land Office.

Appearing in court Thursday, she read out a prepared one-page statement, ignoring a clearly-irritated Justice Lai Siu Chiu who warned her several times to stop.

The judge also warned of contempt of court charges to Lai who continued reading even as other witnesses took their oaths in the witness stand.

Police officers had to be called in to remind the woman to remain silent.

She eventually did, but not for long.

The hearing continues on Friday.

I thought she has a right to be heard by the Judge? Surely this is a kangroo-judge in a kangroo court.

Can tell she is obnoxious and hard-headed. If she behaved like that back then, any wonder why she was removed?

All former civil serpents are very good at barking like dog for long hours.

Stop your ranting: Judge

SINGAPORE - Time and again, the judge warned the former civil servant, who is seeking redress for alleged wrong dismissal, to stop talking.

But each time, Mdm Linda Lai Swee Lin, 54, blatantly ignored the judge's order - even after she was warned she could be held in contempt of court and policemen were called in.

Yesterday, Mdm Lai created a stir in the High Court as she insisted on reading out a prepared speech and disregarded the court procedure, prompting a visibly-annoyed Justice Lai Siu Chiu to ask her to "stop your ranting".

Mdm Lai, who is representing herself, is hoping to get reinstated at the Land Office of the Law Ministry.

On Monday - the first day of the hearing - the Government conceded there was a breach in its employment contract when Mdm Lai lost her job in December 1998.

The hearing resumed yesterday and Mdm Lai took the opportunity to begin her speech - in which she ranted against the civil service - when she was asked to cross-examine her former superior Liew Choon Boon.

Mdm Lai passed up her chance to cross-examine five other witnesses - comprising mostly her former colleagues - as she continued reading from the piece of paper.

"I am totally exhausted. However, if I walk away ... the truth would be buried," she said. The hearing continues. NG JING YNG

most law practitioners have elephant hide. they think they r 1 class above the rest. they think they can manuever the courts as if they were shopping at courts.

the woman think she can be gungho with the courts. if she really have that kind of passion & guts, she should go join opposition & tear down the government.
