Actually, I noticed many people failed to observe that Kong Hee maintains his 'integrity', he never said he maintains his 'innocence'. integrity and innocence are completely different issues.

can enlighten us what's the difference ?
thought is the same, but then i could be wrong. Innocence, we all know. But why integrity can be different from innocence ? This part, not too clear. maybe can give example(s) to illustrate ?Thanks.

Integrity = The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
Innocence (or guiltlessness) = term used to indicate a lack of guilt, with respect to any kind of crime, sin, or wrongdoing. In a legal context, innocence refers to the lack of legal guilt of an individual, with respect to a crime.

So Kong Hee maintained his character to be honest, but he never maintained that he is without guilt with respect to a crime.

Best thing for him then is to be honest about whether he is innocent.

[quote=\"slmkhoo\"] But do the crimes here carry strict liability? Only some crimes do; I don't know if these do.

I don't know under which section(s) of d Penal Code they r being charged.
However for CBT, prosecution only need to show intent to cheat.
How is Defence going to explain away d roundtripping n falsifying of accounts, if not intent to cheat, if presented as hard evidences?

I agree with you; I was only refuting the point about once charged, they should be regarded as 'guilty until proven innocent'. Whatever our private opinions, the final arbiter of guilt in law is the court.[/quote]Actually, I noticed many people failed to observe that Kong Hee maintains his 'integrity', he never said he maintains his 'innocence'. integrity and innocence are completely different issues.

Shocking...

Even if we take the side of our SG State, and watch the gang of 6 get convicted, do people seriously think that it will stop Mdm Ho from looking for her next group of financial investors to support her next ‘crossover’ project? I can tell she is so fully convinced her ‘crossover’ project is successful such that even if this gang go to jail for misappropriating funds, (good) life goes on for her.

Who is footing the bill? Taxpayers' money for the government prosecutors, of course!

Alamak, I was referring to SCs' legal fees for d 'famous' five.

I was reminding people that their taxes also contribute to this court case. So we are all paying for it.

Who is footing the bill? Taxpayers’ money for the government prosecutors, of course!

Hello


Anyone who is a toy collector? I have searched high and low for someone like the owner of MINT, who collects a wide variety of toys. Can he be the only ONE here in Singapore?

Any parents who think that it is a healthy hobby for children to collect and maintain their toys, games and dolls? Does anyone maintain the habit of passing on toys and games and dolls from one generation to the other?
