Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch, said the case against Mr Wham was an "absurd prosecution".

"Singapore's government should grow up and recognise it needs to have a national conversation about what its people want in the 21st Century, and that requires respecting people's civil and political rights," he said.

How come govt never as the deputy Asia director to come drink coffee for his comment? Lol

Be'coz Mr Robertson is an American citizen and based in Thailand, not SG. Also HRW isn't a truly UN-related entity.
it is an NGO funded by left-wing interests and business entities like George Soro's Open Society Foundation which provided US$100m over last decades..and not a single cent  from UN itself.
So one wanna guess whom Mr Robertson is answerable to?
