Woffle Wu's abeting case VS Singapore Pastor's Lie to Custom Officer

[Confuseous]

Singapore Pastor Steven Yang Suan Piau was jailed for 2 weeks for lying to Custom officer about the 3/4 tank filled in his car even though he had installed a fuel tank switch. Plastic Surgeon Dr Woffle Wu had asked his elderly staff to take the rap for speeding offense to evade a fine and demerit points. Dr Woffle Wu was given a STERN warning and was fined $1500.

Law Minister Shanmugan said in Parliament that Dr Woffle's case was not a case of bias because there were many cases where offenders were let off with a light sentence.

Pastor Yang with a mandate from God had lied to custom officer about his less than 3/4 fuel tank to save on fuel and to evade GST of about $107.00 (assume he pump an equilvant of S$100 worth of petrol in JB) was given 2 weeks jail.

Dr Woffle - A STERN Warning plus Fine of $1500
Pastor Yang - Jailed 2 weeks over $107 GST.

I as layman was wondering what sort of law Singapore had. Both men had lied, abetted with another person to lie and yet the punishments are so different. One is a famous plastic surgeon while the other is a small time community pastor. I as layman wondering if a person is equal before the law. Perhaps Law Minister should give a amnesty to Pastor for this momentary lapse of morality.
