行动党穆仁理修改林瑞莲动议 删除“检讨司法制度”字眼

昨日(4日),工人党主席林瑞莲以及盛港集选区议员何廷儒,针对前女佣巴蒂案,提呈全面动议(Full Motion)。

林瑞莲提出的全面动议,原意如下:

此国会将阐明公平、独立性以及可诉诸正义(fairness, access and independence),仍是新加坡司法系统的基石。同时要求政府认识到其中缺失并弥补之,促进对司法机制的检讨,以增强服务全民、不分贵贱、社会地位的司法公正。

不过,经过一整天的辩论,在结束国会会议前,人民行动党议员穆仁理,却提出要修改有关动议,删除了检讨司法机制的字眼。

被修改后的动议大意如下:

此国会将认可(RECOGNISES)公平、独立性以及可诉诸正义,仍是新加坡司法系统的基石。同时阐明政府自独立以来建设平等公正社会的持续努力,以及弥补任何缺失,促进服务全民、不分贵贱、社会地位的司法公正。

林瑞莲对此提出强烈反对,指出工人党无法支持被修改的动议,修改后动议并未认可有存在缺失,也不提检讨现有司法机制。

林瑞莲也提醒,即便政府和执政党不认为现有机制存缺失,但民众已经提出质疑,她也遗憾辩论了一整天,执政政府似乎不愿承认现有机制存在问题。

至于穆仁理较后解释,他言辞中乃是强调,过去确实有出现一些疏失,但重点是政府仍持续改善机制,确保法律面前人人平等。

他在此前致词时强调,自身拥有担任前警察和现任律师的30载经验,指出新加坡法律的“招牌”,就是自建国以来的“司法机构的独立和透明”。他指出尽管现有系统仍有改善空间,但在受害者和国家资源两者间,也需要取得平衡。

不过,最终国会大多数议员还是通过了穆仁理倡议修改的动议,反对党领袖毕丹星,则要求议长陈川仁把工人党全体议员的举手反对记录在案,两名前进党非选区议员潘群勤和梁文辉,也反对动议被修改。

Which motion better captures the spirit of improving Singapore’s justice system where improvement is needed? Here’s the…
