Iswaran’s Victory
September 24th, 2024 | 
Author: 
I believe alot of people were having popcorns in their hands all ready to watch the Great Show of the century but ended up in great disappointment. I wasn't one of them.
I have explained before when Iswaran was first charged with corruptions, it's not that easy for the AGC to prove bribery in this case. Accepting gifts and goodies from "good friends" may breach the law on lesser degree but to prove corruptions or bribery, the AGC must prove that there were favours given in return. It means that the prosecution must prove that there were casual relationship between a decision made that favour the givers and the gratifications or gifts received by Iswaran.
But since CPIB has done a thorough investigation and AGC had charged Iswaran for 2 counts of corruptions, I believe there must be some material evidence involved which wasn't revealed so far.
Although I am not surprised that AGC amended these 2 corruption charges to a lesser charge of accepting gifts as public servant but it is still pretty dramatic for this to happen right in the first moment of the much anticipated trial.
It is even more dramatic when Iswaran's lawyer, Mr Davinder Singh, pleaded guilty on behalf of his client immediately right after the corruption charges were basically dropped and amended to the lesser charge.
As this case is of great public interests, it is very important for us to get some clarity on the happenings.
What material evidence has the AGC based on when it decided to press corruption charges on Iswaran? Specifically, what favours were perceived as given by Iswaran in return for the gratifications or gifts he has received?
What material change to the evidence or case has occured to make the AGC changes its mind on pressing the corruption charges and amended these two charges into the lesser charges?
It is not uncommon for the prosecution and defense to negotiate for plea bargain but in this case, it is in public interests for both sides to make known whether the current situation is the result of plea bargain.
Even though the prosecution is pressing for 6 to 7 months of jail term for Iswaran, but this is still a major victory for Iswaran. AGC has technically dropped the corruption charges against him and only asking for 7 months jail term when the maximum jail term for obstruction of justice is 7 years.
So keep all your popcorns folks.

What I don’t understand is minister passes law and he not familiar with law?
(Something like Ng boon something the director CNB)

I remember Dr Chee’s case,
JBJ’s too.
Those 2 cases sounded more serious than Iwa$ruin,how come?
And,Dr Chee’s case ,it was a paltry sum for postages.
JBJ’s case was even more obscure?
Both were CONDEMNED heavily,one way or another.
Dr Chee was not even MP.
JBJ was just an oppo MP ,not even THE OPPO LEADER?
Iwa$ruin was veteran minister when “caught”?
Sums involved of greater quantum
To me,it is like that little boy who got handcuffed and shackled for petty theft at that shopping mall against much bigger offenders who are more leniently treated loke angmohs who bashed and hurt Sg Citizens in various instances?
The Law should be more restrictly applied to persons of greater ‘standings”,me thinks,especially those who ought to uphold the law more faithfully than their more common countrymen.

There will never be any popcorns available for sure. Why? The former minister already won. With a six months imprisonment sentence will likely means at most 4 months stay at Changi with one third remission on good behaviour and conduct inside prison. Thus a little slap on the wrist. There is a clear case of plea bargaining. The pay and pay Govt wants this case settled and resolved quickly as the next election is coming. The Govt hopes and believes that 70% of the electorate are stupid and have short memories.
loading...
Squarely looking,its nit Iwa$ruin’s victory,its PAP that has won.
Whither than white is double-confirmed.
If this was JBJ,say,it would have been not so e a s y,just pondering.

In ancient Rome, before the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the citizens were treated to mass executions and gladiator games, soo they would forget or be distracted from the real issues.
As Lawrence Of $ingapore fiddles, the population just hit 6 million, adding more than 130000 FT in the last 12 months. The addition of all locals was less than 10 times that.
If locals can survive in ANY job after they turn 40 I will be deeply impressed. The question of whether they can survive the jab and be able to reach 40 is something else.
All the polices now in force are to make $inkies vanish one way or the other – and are doing a good job. I am sure the electorate will vote for the people who are determined to kill them off one way or another.

So,”tak boleh tahan” ,so many extra passengers to carry?
So many round$!
“I” protest,i “break down” lah.
Must take a break mah.
6.04 M only.
So many NEW “residents” to “embrace”.
Can “i” stop carrying so many passengers so many rounds,so tiring.
Pls get more “FTs”(foreign Trains) to REPLACE “me”,(i am old trublu train).

Think,”optimally” 4M to 5M population will be more conducive for TINY Sg.
At 6M,crowd-out pre$$ure$ are already rampant.
Imagine 6.5,7.5,8.5 and 9M.
WHY DONT THE $MART $CHOLAR-gahmen JAM-PACK THE i$tana,it is so under-populated!
At night,no one wants to stay there?
Might as well,BUILD SOME HDB UNITS THERE???!
So much LIMITED LAND RESORUCE WASTED!
HOW MUCH TIME AND HOW MANY TIMES DO OUR MINISTERS NEED TO JOSTLE WITH FOREIGNERS ?
EA$Y TO SAY ,”EMBRACE THEM” if you and your grandkids go to “Amazonia” with staff and security ushering you n your precious grandkids.
WHY NOT MAKE DO WITH TRAFFIC POLICE MOTORCADE AND SECURITY OFFICERS TO “CLEAR YOUR WAY”?
HOW TO “EMBRACE” THE ALIEN$ YOU DUMP HERE???
loading...
Top public $ervants who tell sgs to “EMBRACE” the foreigners must set a good ecample by EMBRACING THE FTs and their “dependants” they dump here.
Even so,the ministers’ wives,kids,aged parents,and grand kids should ALL BE TAUGHT TO EMBRACE the aliens instead if getting “shielded” officiosly?
Afterall,nothing beats POLICIES BY EXAMPLES.

So,HDB at $1.8M is the fault of senior sgs looking to downgrade from private housing just to mitigate runaway COL?
I am sure seniors would love it if they can buy immediately from HDB directly without having to wait for years and KEEP PAYING HIGH RENTALS?
Maybe at Sgs 600K??????
Who WIN ,Who lose?
Obvious.
G wins as can peg new HDB units at elevated prices.
Oh,PRs/FTs ARE THE BIGGY WINNER$$$ AFTER “RE-$ELLING” ,as usual for decades now!
Minister Desmond Lee,why blame downgrading seniors.
You should have HELICOPTER VIEW and PLAN FORWARD FOR AGEING AND JOBLESSNESS of older SG CITIZENS.
INSTEAD, YOUR MND N HDB PLAN VERY WELL FOR PRs???
And,still DUMPING FTs via FTA here.
Hey,minister,sir,THESE ADDITIONAL FTs and THEIR “DEPENDANTS” REQUIRE HOUSING too or are you thinking of WELCOMING THEM into the ninisters’ BIG BUNGALOW$?
PLS LAH,ENOUGH FINGER-POINTING OF BAD POLICY OUTCOMES,KICK YOUR OWN BACKSIDES FOR ONCE.

”The issue of “deep-seated cultural issues” within SMRT came into the spotlight last year, when Mr Kuek – also a former chief of defence force – had used it to explain the lapses within the organisation that led to the tunnel flooding incident in October last year (2017).
Deep Shit Cultural Issue by definition takes a long time to eradicate.
One way is to throw billions of dollars at the problem like Khaw did.
But was the Deep Shit/Seat removed?
Or is it resurfacing, never really gone away.
You can by a new car…it can break down in two years if you do not maintain it properly.

This guy is no dummy. He took a risk but he knew that would be able to get out of any major prison time. He knows where, and how the skeletons are buried, so probably made a deal with the ISD. If you don’t piss on me then I will not reveal what I know, which is in the hands of his UK solicitor.
He will be out of $inkieland once the dust settles. His life here is over – time for him to sit back relax and enjoy his ill-gotten gains that he stole from $tupid $heeple.

papigs can easily convert Pulau Ubin into Florida by building cheap retirement homes there.
Land and HDB flats and private units are thus freed up on the mainland for those that need to work.
No FOREX loss to Msia. COL plummets.

I find it strange at times that Mr Goh, a very experienced politician and a graduate would even make some noise on something that is so commonly practised all over the world.
Charges are amended all the time, from the police to the prosecution to the courts, it is a common practice to ensure that the punishment fits the crime.
Police amend charges, AGC amend charges and even court amend charges, it is perfectly within their rights to do so. This is to ensure that the charges are fair in accordance with the law.
At times, charges are plea-bargained to lessen the wastage of the court’s time, saving the accused some jail time and preventing the wastage of public resources.
So why so much fuss? UNLESS Goh thinks or is suggesting that there is some hanky panky going on?

”Public housing remains affordable and attainable, says HDB, citing international studies”
How many countries have land acquisition Act to confiscate land.
Any country that have this Act and used it to build HDB can do a million times better than HDB.
HDB…do not compare Apples with Oranges. Private housing is different from private housing.
Can you imagine New York having land acquisition ACT as a weapon to obtain cheap land for public housing.
Do not hoodwink the younger educated sinkies.
Their parents bought Toa Payoh 5 rm flat for $16,000 because of Land Acqusition Act.

@Apple vs Oranges
…citing international studies.
Oh,ok,WHICH ‘international studies’?
Housing remains affordable.
Do our ministers also agree HDB remains affordable?
What SIZES of HDB?
From 1000 sq ft to under 500 sq ft?
SUBJECTIVE affordability!
I say this internstional studies ‘study” ERRANTLY.
INTERNATIONAL?
MY FOOT!
loading...
Do the ‘international studies’ also study WHY Sg government regulate private sector housing market more strictly than public housing?
Why HDB sky-rockets while private average price remains low vs speed of HDB price increases?
HDB IS SUPPOSED TO BE PUBLIC HOUSING FOR SINGAPOREANS BASICALLY.
IT SHOULD BE RECTIFIED TO REMAIN SO.
TOO MANY PRs are MAKING USE of HDB to REAP HUGE PROFITS.
THE MINISTERS ARE SLEEPING,PERIOD.

Heaven is watching （老天爷在看）
During covid period, when someone wanted to start air travel bubble, it was cancelled twice and finally scrapped. This was a signal from heaven to LTA. Yet F1 go ahead.
I mentioned before that when covid cases up or down, elderly homes were the ones closed first and opened last. All visitations are restricted and elderly are suffering.
So, this is the punishment from heaven to F1, as they enjoyed in the expense of the elderly’s suffering.
Whoever dares to cover up, punishment will fall on him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varsity_Blues_scandal
In 2019, a scandal arose over a criminal conspiracy to influence undergraduate admissions decisions at several top American universities. The investigation into the conspiracy was code named Operation Varsity Blues.[1][2] The investigation and related charges were made public on March 12, 2019, by United States federal prosecutors. At least 53[3] people have been charged as part of the conspiracy,[4][5] a number of whom pled guilty or agreed to plead guilty. Thirty-three parents of college applicants were accused of paying more than $25 million between 2011 and 2018 to William Rick Singer, organizer of the scheme, who used part of the money to fraudulently inflate entrance exam test scores and bribe college officials. Of the 32 parents named in a Federal Bureau of Investigation affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Boston, more than half had apparently paid bribes to have their children enrolled at the University of Southern California (USC).
loading...
Almost immediately after arrests were announced last March, colleges opened investigations into students with ties to the scandal. Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, Northwestern and the University of Southern California each expelled students or revoked students’ admissions.
If only ONE person got into trouble, then the Singapore systems are horribly dysfunctional.

So CPIB might wait for GE to be over before we hear any news about this scandal.If at all…may be whitewashed.
