SINGAPORE – The High Court has made it clear that a Singaporean who commits a crime in international waters or on any aircraft can be tried and convicted in the Singapore courts as though the offence occurred in Singapore.

The ruling came as the court on Oct 27 dismissed a man’s appeal against his conviction for breaking into another passenger’s cabin on a Bahamas-flagged cruise ship while on the high seas and stealing her bra.

every country could setup new law to say citizens can only be convicted in their own country unless the law is broken when then person is on the convicting country land.
in that way can protect own citizen from those long arm law enforcement.

it is not when but will surely come as the long arm control country become weaker. first financially then only equal in military strength.

in terms of science application may already lost the pole position already in some fields. like super magnet, video etc
