If you can convince Singapore to accept the jurisdiction of the ICJ in this matter, and subsequently secure a standing legal order to halt the execution by the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights under the said and accepted argument that the death penalty is barbaric and unconstitutional due to its mandatory nature.Originally posted by missqi:President alr say no.

Do not forget to mention also, you have to make a case that the mandatory death sentence shifts and removes a large element of having to prove actual guilt and to concur that this case was not a fair case since the onus of prosecution was said to be diluted.
If you can acheive these two aims, Took will have a fair chance to live. But as long as the commutation policy for capital sentences is decided by the Cabinet, I'd place a bigger wager in the state lottery.
This is one reason why mandatory punishments have to be struck off, we cannot allow Parliament and the Cabinet to pass sentence indirectly by virtue of effect of a Bill tabled into law without the Judiciary's discretionary powers to say yes or no. -
The need to press for a review of capital sentencing in Singapore is very strong. It's sad that most people will parrot the PAP's stand without reviewing the arguments both for and against it before coming up with an informed judgement.

We dun even have jury system!

Personally, I would not sentence him to death. After all, the case, in my opinion, is suspicious, but sadly we do not have an extradition treaty with China.Originally posted by bryanseb:If u r the judge, would u want ah-how to die? OR just serve his sentence in jail for life?
If I could, I would subpoena the girl's mother and detain her for further investigation. -
If u, would u want him dead or alive?Originally posted by mhcampboy:We dun even have jury system! -
like wad LL mentioned .... case is kinda vague...Originally posted by bryanseb:If u, would u want him dead or alive?
so no. i wont sentence him to death... or at least.... prolong and intensify the investigations.. -
Well, that's great. At least it's what his family would hope for.Originally posted by mhcampboy:like wad LL mentioned .... case is kinda vague...

his family also very poor thing...

why ? .. what's the big fuss here ? ...
is it because you guys are against the death penalty for a child murderer, or you guys don't believe he's guilty ? ... -
I believe his case has a lot of leaks.Originally posted by Fatum:why ? .. what's the big fuss here ? ...

First leak, how can Took be allowed to work in Singapore when he does have a mental illness. His family is based in Malaysia and yet Took is coming to work in Singapore alone.Originally posted by LazerLordz:I believe his case has a lot of leaks.
Second, if Took really does have a schizophrenic disorder, why does it come up at the purported time of Huang Na's death? Was there any trigger for such a psychotic episode? -
To Tok, maybe. To others, like a psychotic epsiode.Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:First leak, how can Took be allowed to work in Singapore when he does have a mental illness. His family is based in Malaysia and yet Took is coming to work in Singapore alone.

I agree with campboy.Originally posted by mhcampboy:like wad LL mentioned .... case is kinda vague...

There are too many questionable points in this case. But I don't quite agree with the mental illness defense. While anything can trigger it and make him a mad man, there's no evidence pointing so. What Huang Na did can't be verified, she's dead.
