Last year,a soldier stole a rifle, intended to attack his ex-girlfriend, later got caught in a toilet on the third floor of Cathay Cineleisure Orchard.
The judge sentenced him to a 9 years and 2 month's jail and 18 strokes of the cane. WTH!
Saw this from other people's blog.
Justice Tay Yong Kwang says:
'myheart hurts for you that so young a man will have to spend some of the best years of his life in prison and have to undergo so many strokes of the cane, but I trust that you understand a deterrent sentence is unavoidable in the circumstances.
Dave, you have had a very hard life. I hope that this unfortunate and traumatic wrong turn in your life will make you much more mature and a whole lot wiser and that you will spend the next few years reconstructing your young life.
I hope that you will pursue your studies, listen to good advice from counsellors and learn many skills while in prison and that, upon your release, you will have a life full of meaning and purpose to honour the memory of your grandmother and your beloved younger brother.
It has been written,
'To everything there is a season'. There was a time when you loved, there came a time when you hated. There was a time when you felt you wanted to kill, now is the time for you to heal. There was a time you were broken down, now is the time to build yourself up. There was a time when you were at war in your being, now is the time to restore peace within.'
Not everything in life there is a second chance.
