Hi, 2 officers came up to me today and issued me a summon for throwing a cigarette bud but i did not commit the offence. i wrote in an appeal letter. How high are my chances of escaping the verdict?
it's my second offence and i clearly did not commit it as they couldn't produce any proof.
See your Member of Parliament (MP) to write appeal letter?

Meet-the-People Sessions (MPS) is the name of a
feedback/redress system developed in Singapore for citizens to meet
their member of parliament. The MPS are usually held once a week.
Many citizens see the MPS as an opportunity to resolve problems
that they are having with the bureaucracy.The MP will write a
petition letter to the relevant ministry, statutory board or any
concerned parties to appeal on behalf of the resident. The letters
are accorded a higher priority by the Civil Service as they come
from elected representatives.
Cases deal with a wide range of problems. These include, but are
not limited to, family financial problems (e.g. health-cost issues,
jobs, financial assistance), CPF matters, various licenses, HDB
related problems (e.g. subsidized rental housing, obtaining a
subsidized HDB flat), immigration issues, and appeals for school
admissions and school fee subsidy.
Most sessions last past midnight to help residents effectively due
to waiting time.
The process of meeting the MP or Ministers varies from constituency to constituency, but they follow a general pattern:
1) Registration and take queue number
2) Constituent meets the petition writer who pens the letter (either hand-written or via PC) on behalf of the MP
3) Wait and queue to meet the MP
4) Meet the MP in a separate room, constituent informs the MP of his/her problems one-to-one.
5) MP assures the constituent that they will look into the case and send the letter. For urgent cases, the letter will be typed out, sign by the MP and hands it to the constituent immediately. For normal cases, the letter will be vetted through by the MP’s or Minister’s Personal Secretary and sent out within three working days.
Go file a police report stating that 2 civil servants falsely accused you of alleged actions.
how u prove?
If I have to prove something, they can just catch anyone on the streets and if they can't proof anything, they'll be guilty. Doesn't make sense right? Having No proof of the offence is the best prove to the accused.
so how u prove they no proof?
Go file a police report stating that 2 civil servants falsely accused you of alleged actions.
Please ask the judge.
TS,
I am sure you did it. I am sure.
awww poor guy..
Well if you didn't do it, depends on how convinving your appeal letter is. Maybe around 50% .
Should have fought along with the two officers untill they call police and police will reason with both of you since police do need evidence
