wtf?  
the cabbie who ran alex over faces possible jailterm of 2 years and maybe a fine of $1000.

what kind of screwed up justice is that?

that's quite a joke isn't it? two short years and a thousand bux let you get away with running someone down on purpose and you get to ruin the life of a promising young man.

tell me it's a joke, singapore.

un-fuckin-believable.

whether they appeal or not... it's just ridiculous.

Re: alex
hi priscilla

thanks for your concern.. he's been running a consistent fever, so they couldn't move him out of icu. still in a coma.

it's sad, and if the relevant peeps don't mete out the deserved punishment, it's even sadder.

That's the sentence if they deem it as attempted manslaughter or something - one guy got off with just 12 months over here not long ago I think.

I hope he's not eligible for parole. *waves fist*

*hugs* and hope alex gets better soon.

not only that, - as an older citizen, he gets more leeway & higher possibility of parole. Also, you get 3mths?(i think) off every year of sentence to begin with - for holidays, weekends etc. so i wouldn't be surprised if he only served 6mths-1yr

that's just wrong. 3 months off every year? that's even better than working peeps' days of leave. holidays and weekends for criminals! wtf.

true....but such are the facts of life....no use riling against it.

instead i'm hoping for a massive attack of the conscience leading to a partial stroke leaving him a vegetable.

one can always hope....*nasty grin*

he's not even pleading guilty... the conscience thing is not likely to happen. :(

huh?! and i was thinking if he'll be charged with murder! it was deliberate and i'm sure the taxi driver was of sound mind! wat kind of justice is that?!! =O

how is that going to teach cabbies a lesson? their attitudes are getting from bad to worse!

exactly! what kind of message is this sending out to all the killers out there? it's apparently alright for them to try to kill someone with a vehicle! especially if you're an older citizen! gah!

the strange thing is after it happened i scanned the 'Home' section of the Straits Times for the next few days (i usually skip the entire section) and was shocked to see that there was a similiar-type accident involving cabbies almost EVERY SINGLE DAY........

friends tell me similar stories all the time, although alex's is the most severe. mother told me that a cabbie knocked into a biker on purpose and the biker died, quite recently.

sigh. i just find it weird that this country sends drug dealers to death and the killers are the ones going scot-free.

yes, he's not pleading guilty and wants to hire a lawyer. his wife says she's too busy to bother getting a lawyer for him and he can settle his own business.
