NUS law prof in CPIB probe over exchanging grades for sex

[Nebbermind]

I’m not versed in law or court proceeding, but like the other 2 cases, the prosecution looked weak. This is disturbing coz I presume they must be of some substance to be working as prosecutors and they also have plenty of resources at their disposal.

When a state's case not won, may not be entirely the incompetence of the prosecutor.
Before the case is a court case, the investigators and many other personnels involved in presenting the case. A prosecutor is merely a litigator to present the case, but not the ones that conclude the case.

The judge that takes the bench, even deep down he knows which party is guilty, he is not to make judgement out from the left side of his chest. He too, not above the law, and shall deliver judgement of justice.

Law, the very basis of human right.... anyone still remember this?

NBG's case is weak because they are clearly in an EMA. That makes the sexual acts possibly out of the EMA rather than corruption. Judge made a great call here but he was helped by the flipping testimony of CS and her credibility impeached by prosecution.

PL's case so far is not weak at all. They are trying to go along NBG's strategy but won't work for him. Apart from the two \"claiming\" to have a liking of each other and the weird dress sense of the woman, nothing else to suggest that they pair are involved romantically.

Nah, the part that PL leak out the intent of the tender is just too weak. First, it's quite common practice for agencies to make enquiries to possible suppliers coz that how they gather info to write up the technical part of the tender. Secondly, it appeared that other than the possibility of a tender for the said equipment, she knew no details on the requirements to allow her a clear advantage.

It's just not convincing at all.

But nebbermind....just for discussion only.

Sex caused the downfall of some men…for eg that underage pros.


Tey’s wife must be out of town for long time for him to be so free.
See how long this fella wants to play with judge.

Nowadays, it seems that if it involves senior civil servants, the prosecution must proceed even if the case is weak. Otherwise, the baying (mostly online) masses will cry \"cover up by the elite\" or \"one law for the elite and one law for the rest of us\". This is the new normal. What to do? Apparently this is what the voters want.

And because he wants to play time with judge, that's why he doesn't want to hire any lawyer to represent him. Hiring a lawyer will mean spending $$$.

anyway, all his so-called \"trial within a trial\" scenario(s) - doesn't make him look credible.

I'm sure all defendants have the same hope!!


Anyway, what has the prosecution shown so far other than the facts that there were gifts and sex (once?)?

They have also shown that he is in the position to influence her grades.

That's all they need.

No, they have not. I have not yet seen any evidence given on how NUS marks and grades exam papers.

thought initially prosecution wanted to call in a few more witness(es) … like more young girls or young men ?


how come so far - seems like DK is the only witness ?

Because it is still early days yet and the prosecution is still trying to admit his CPIB statements. Hence, the trial within a trial. Whether there are other prosecution witnesses after the trial within a trial, we shall see.
