One country, two sets of law.

As expected, super whitehorse son of ex-PAPAYA judge and NMP gets special treatment. What a total farce.. Actually I find our drug laws is harsh.. 8 months is still harsh given that in other countries the sentences is lighter..
However, that is not the issue.. The fact is the law is not uniformly harsh to everyone..
SINGAPORE: Former Internet entrepreneur Dinesh Bhatia has had his original one-year jail sentence for consuming cocaine reduced to eight months, following an appeal at the High Court.
High Court Judge VK Rajah ruled on Tuesday that the District Judge had erred in not tailoring the sentence to fit the offender as Dinesh was a first-time user.
He also ruled that the District Judge had failed to attach weight and merit to all the relevant mitigating factors.
In his view, the original sentence was excessive.
Dinesh, 35, was sentenced to a year's jail on February 1 for consuming cocaine.
The offence carried a maximum penalty of ten years in jail and a fine of $20,000.
Another charge of consuming Ecstasy was taken into consideration.
He was among 23 people arrested in a high-profile drug bust last October. - CNA -
