different punishment for similar offence - why?
-
recently read about Woffles incident in the papers, thought the fine handed out was kinda light.
then read http://andrewlohhp.wordpress.com/2012/06/14/a-slap-on-the-wrist-or-a-slap-on-the-face-of-our-justice-system/ and walao oi, like similar offence, different sentence meted out.....

one set of rules for some, another for others ? :shock: -
Hmmm....food for thought. Wonder how the authorities will respond to this. Or has the penalty gone up for offences like that? One in 2005 and the other 2008. :scratchhead:

Hmm... seemed a lack of \"Justice Bao\" here... -

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

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.
