Catching up on Singapore news

Woah... Haven't read about the news from home in so long. Stupid ST (grumble grumble), but after reading Mr.Brown's March 10 SNE I am shocked.

So some guy gets charged for cocaine possession but because he is rich he gets bail? And then is allowed to skip it? I assumed that being on bail requires you to get a passport? He just slipped through the cracks or crack for that matter? I mean seriously... I remember a while back that some guy who got charged for heroin possession kept trying to appeal for clememcy got denied over and over again. He wasn't asking to be free, just life imprisonment, and still kena hanged. WTF!?! Man it pays to be rich.

Then the boss of Premier Taxi got away with the slap in the wrist for road rage. Wow. Amazing what money can buy in meritocratic Singapore.

Once I cynically told my friends that the law is fair to both rich and poor. Both may not sleep under bridges, bed on the streets or steal to feed their starving children, but this is ridiculous. I understand that Singapore law bends to the one-who-must-not-be-named (otherwise I kena libel charges), but now it also bends over backwards for the rich. Sial lah... Our legal system is like a crack whore whole bend over and take it up the ass, as long as you can pay it. Wow. I am so disappointed in my homeland now. Kenneth Lay (of Enron fame)should have run PUB, at least he could have gotten away with it here. Just skip bail.

Ha ha, SPH has a new megazine for youths called IN. I guess there's not enough space to add CAHOOTS. Man, if you're a young person, read singaporean blogs. That way you know the editorials are honest, true and do not have a government slant. Or so I would like you to think (long live the Emperor).

After reading several SNE i have come to a conclusion that some Singaporeans are dumb. They direct questions about government policy to the ST instead of the departments themselves. Funny, but also telling that the department would probably give them the run around and that the ST is the government.
