  True, but the court's sentences must satisfy the population. Justice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done.

  Justice will be done to the convicted. Let's not judge too much and over limits because everyone is equal before the law.

  one thing i learn. we dont need to become a dog to punish a dog. (disclaimer: example of dog has nothing to do with Islam)
  
  That is to mean, we dun need to resort to perverted measures to punish another pervert because if so doing we become like the offender ourselves.
  
  I truly understands the anger towards the suspect and injustice felt towards the toddler but those comments like castrations and so on are improper and if the Courts of Singapore really carry out such punishments then we will start to rethink what is true justice.

  I say castrate this guy. Under aseptic conditions. Without anaesthetic.
  
  And death by hanging is too good for him - After the castration procedure, I say he should be tossed into the jungle naked, alone, and exposed to the elements.... the way the little girl died.

  just castrate and let him bleed to death

  anyway, anything done on him can't bring the poor little girl back to life....only if it could...haiz.....
  
  its really a super sad thing .....
  
  but hope this set as an example to parents with children...take necessary precaution eg where they place their children for care, and the ppl they are in contact often...especially for those who hv yet able to express themselves....
  
  i think times back there were a few cases of molest. eg close friends who helped to care their children when they need to go out, or tuitors or close friends/ relatives who visit them often etc etc....

  evil doers r punished and innocent parties set free.
  
  But who to decide who is evil doers and who is innocent parties? The judge and jury and the court rite? So it goes back to the same thing. Laws are set by people and often it is done based on the majority perception of what is right or wrong. I don't think this is true justice. This to me is "justice" as in it fits the majority thinking of what they felt is true.
  
  If you ask me then what is true justice then I would say I am still looking for that answer too

  its hard to tell who's evil or innocent, after all we are already prejudiced right from the start.
  laws are set to help guide these principles but.. sometimes criminals slip through the loopholes in law.
  if true justice was based on what majority thinks, the world will be in big trouble..
  
  no matter what we do to him, it wouldnt bring the little girl back..

  if true justice was based on what majority thinks, the world will be in big trouble..
  
  Then can you enlighten me on how laws and justice are set in this world? If it isn't by a majority thinking then it is maybe set by a majority set of moral thinking?
  
  Example.. do you consider incest a crime? If majority felt and think morally it is a crime then it is a crime. Now tink back juz maybe wat if there exist a majority who felt incest is the norm then would the laws be set in such a way as to dismiss incest as a crime but instead promote it as an alternative way of life ?
  
  Laws and justice are made by Mankind and Mankind have their faults. What then should the true law and justice? That is an answer I am seeking while in the meantime the world goes on as usual.
