The following is an excerpt of an article posted today on blog onesingaporean.

 

Despite what Lim Boon Heng, that minister who has been without a portfolio for some 15 years, has said, the PAP’s slate of new candidates are a dud. At least as far as I am concerned. I can’t remember any time in the past where the scraping of the barrel by the PAP was so pathetic.

And the signs are already there. Of course, the media is sugar-coating the dud candidates the PAP is selling. Desmond Choo? Desmond Lee? Tin Pei Lin? Seriously? When one starts to talk about one’s own sob story in order to gain sympathy, you can be sure the barrel is really empty.

新加坡首次透过Zoom视讯判死刑 引起国际注意

疫情当前,最高法院首次透过远距视讯会议方式,审理主要案件。法院日前透过Zoom 视讯平台,宣判一名涉毒品交易的马来西亚男子死刑。相信这也是首次以远距方式宣判死刑。 目前,我国累计确诊已超过2万9千例。阻断措施到6月1日才结束。目前法院暂缓许多案件审理,必要案件则透过上述这种远距方式审案。 上述马国男子名为普尼坦(Punithan Genasan译音),37岁,是在上周五(15日)接到上述判决。男子目前仍考虑提出上诉。 普尼坦律师并不反对这种视讯判决做法,这是因为他们仅获知判决结果,无需进行辩论。 新加坡最高法院发言人,则告知路透社,为确保参与司法程序人士的安全,故此透过视讯进行开庭。 而人权观察组织亚洲副主任罗伯逊则斥责,这种远距科技宣判死刑的方式,更显得不人道。该组织过去长期抨击我国死刑政策。
