SINGAPORE - A 26-year-old man who raped his former girlfriend of 10 years after persuading her to follow him home was sentenced to 10½ years' jail and six strokes of the cane on Monday (Nov 8).

High Court Judge Philip Jeyaretnam found that the man's act of trying to impregnate the victim so that she would have to marry him amounted to deliberate infliction of special trauma, which is an aggravating factor in sentencing.

JBJ is always an opposition member in Parliament. But his son is now a high court judge, which is a civil servant's job, therefore he is for the PAP....

It is not true that a civil servant must always support PAP.

The Executive and The Judiciary are supposed to be independent.  Are you saying the court is pliant ?
