Strparent:

recently read about Woffles incident in the papers, thought the fine handed out was kinda light.


one set of rules for some, another for others ? :shock:

Dis disparity was stuck in my mind when I heard about it.
If u transposed his mole from chin to forehead n imagine w/o d specs,
doesn't he look like guanyin - untouchable :rotflmao:

In d words of DPM TCH, wat do u think? :evil:

Your description is so funny ! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

I'll never look @ Woffles the same way again !

verykiasu2010:

because he as plastic surgeon can make you look ugly or look good ..... you trust his knife or your law book ..... ?



(okay, just for laugh only, no insinuation intended)

n a world renown one at dat,
also well connected.

not joking
lol.

bluesclue:

maybe in this case, the judge took into consideration that the highly skilled plastic surgeon could have easily alter the look of another person to look exactly like him , so no point sending him/ imposter to the cell

I thot u were leading to something but then u lost me in d end.
There was a case of a local judge who just fined a surgeon for his 'misdemeanor'
n justify in his sentencing dat d surgeon is 'too important to be jailed'.

Lilac66:

Can't believe he said something about \"many people similarly would not think this is an offence\". HUh?? A highly qualified surgeon like him did not know making others take the rap is an offence?


Hope a heavier penalty will be meted out to him soon. That will send out the message that everyone is equal when it comes to the law.

Didn't he also said something to d effect (can't recall his exact words now)
- its a mistake n he will be more mindful of d law?

Come on, who is he trying to kid.
d two offences were committed more than a year apart.
It can only point to a deliberately thot out action intended to hookwink d police.

zadrian:

I think the punishment was also for their crimes on top of their \"take rap\" charges.


One man was speeding - $150 fine + 6 points.

Other man was for running Illegal Internet Gambling + hurting Police officer.

How was this similar offences ?
Do you think if u were taking a walk then bash up a Neighbourhood Police Post police officer, the TP will fine u and give u demerit points ?

cld u post details of d 2 cases u mentioned here in d name of justice?

[Way2GO]

Something else comes to mind.

If u pay someone (in kind or services) to take d rap for u,
shouldn’t d case be referred to CPIB for investigation into possible corruption?
Why is dis case sitting with TP for six years, n not referred to CPIB?

Just think 易容术 used in chinese pugilistic stories or the movie <Face Off> by Nicolas Cage and John Travolta

of course he must distinguish himself from the guanyin, that is why he put the mole where it is

you don't call it \"disparity\"; it is \"distinction\"

He put it there?
u mean d mole is fake? :rotflmao:
Then he can put it anywhere he wants! :rotflmao:

Speaking of distinguished ppl with prominent moles
- off d bat, I can think of Mao Tze Dong, Abraham Lincoln, MM (not dat one, Marilyn Monroe), Elizabeth Taylor.
All distinguished in their field, but also all dead.
