What kind of connection does the food hawker have? Is he rich, famous or powerful? No, he’s a hand-to-mouth nobody of a worker. The law can come down excessively hard on him, there will be no repercussions.
But that son of a rich man has many connections. Give him more than a slap and his daddy will snap back.
This is the harsh truth, it’s possible to be above the law if you have enough money or connections.

SINGAPORE - Karl Liew, the son of Changi Airport Group’s former chairman Liew Mun Leong, was sentenced to two weeks in jail on Friday for lying to a district judge in an earlier trial.

It involved the family’s former maid, Ms Parti Liyani, who had been accused of stealing from their household.

Three weeks before testifying at her trial, Karl Liew was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease – a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to muscle tremors as well as difficulty in walking and balancing.

In his oral grounds, District Judge Eugene Teo noted that both the prosecution and defence in Karl Liew’s case had asked for him to be given the maximum fine of $5,000.

A broke govt will do whatever it takes to recoup the money. Selling bonds, raising taxes, fees, fares, fines, stamp duties etc.

This is just one of the many ways.

Sell gao luck also need license, lol.

Lying to a judge is a lesser crime than selling chestnuts without a license apparently

zero nuts.

The hawker can just go to jail for a month or two instead. Problem solved.

Its very difficut for an ordinary man to understand how this can be more serious than the KOM US$55 million (S$73 million) bribery case where the 6 involved were only given a stern warning .Makes me wonder what kind of society and people we have become and what the future holds for our children in such a country

2 weeks jail, and $5000 for perjury. Cross dressing son of a bitch has the deal of his life. May he die a slow painful death from Parkinson’s. Make sure every part of his body atrophies and disintegrates, especially his sick mind
