Poodle's jail term doubled after appeal

[MarrickG]

A POLICE staff sergeant who assaulted his Indonesian maid over a period of four months had his jail term doubled to two years on Tuesday.

In the first maid-abuse case to go before the three-judge Court of Appeal, the jail term handed down to Lawrence Lim Hwang Ngin, 37, underscored the Singapore courts' firm stance against those who abuse their domestic maids.

Justice V. K. Rajah, in a 114-page written judgment peppered with denouncements of Lim's conduct, wrote:

'This is a sentence that appropriately encapsulates my profound aversion and disquiet with Lim's deplorable conduct without having the effect of being crushing.'

The case landed in Singapore's highest court because Lim, from the Criminal Investigation Department's Intellectual Property Rights Branch, was first tried in the High Court.

Typical maid-abuse cases are tried in the Subordinate Courts, with appeals - if any - heard in the High Court.

A CID Intelligience officer in jail, if for real reason other inmates dare not touch him or go need him, he could be working undercover in Changi jailhouse.

Undercover? He might as well wear a tee-shirt saying "I AM AN UNDERCOVER COP" in prison. Why go through Straits Times?

 

[SotongMee]

No need to wear T-shirt, the 15xth already announced and the existing inmates will be ready and waiting for him, did you ever see jail and prison movies?

Always happen like in the movies, good cop goes undercover into the worst jail for the serious offence, and into all sorts of trouble to "nail" those Mafia

See more Hongkee police-thief movies with a prison plot and you will be convinced.

the moral of story is not to hire maids at all.
no matter what
yes you think you saved a lot of money
look at the amercian land owner in 1800's, they love money, they earn big profit with cheap labour from africa,
look what happen to them now.
they are being rob and murder by african descendants, they live by fear, they are forced to carry gun when they go out.
what a horrible life, this is the result of getting cheap labour.

In one sentence, the Karma of a Slave Master.

Now if consider being led by a Nigger President at it worst of times, this is ultimate.

A law enforcer breaks the law yet still having the cheek to appeal. Sadism is a sickness of the mind and believe it or not a good many people in this line of work has it. Anyway the devine must have intervened, he shall get his desserts. What goes around comes around.

Nonetheless my understanding in singgi context, fortunately for ex-lawman convicts, prison wardens usually will isolate them away from hardcores for obvious reasons.:p
