Long-winded woman that SG Judge cannot even handle

[Help1]

Woman appears in High Court with non-stop speech

 

Singapore: A woman fighting a 6-year-old case against the Government for wrongful dismissal, caused drama in the High Court when she launched into a speech and continually disobeyed the judge to stop.

 

Former civil servant, Linda Lai Swee Lin, is hoping to get her old job back in the Land Office.

 

Appearing in court Thursday, she read out a prepared one-page statement, ignoring a clearly-irritated Justice Lai Siu Chiu who warned her several times to stop.

 

The judge also warned of contempt of court charges to Lai who continued reading even as other witnesses took their oaths in the witness stand.

 

Police officers had to be called in to remind the woman to remain silent.

 

She eventually did, but not for long.

 

The hearing continues on Friday.

 

 

Perhaps her dismissal by Land Office is due to her talkativeness at work which impact staff's productivity

I guess the judge wished that he could staple shut her mouth but cannot. Need to set good example.

Aiyah, she just doesn't get the hint. So many unsuccessful suits already.

 

Though if she does get reinstatement, she will get a windfall. So many years of back pay. :)

don't play play as she's the determined type that kept fighting for more than 10 yrs.

She pawned herself by getting into the Judge's bad books.

Sometimes must have this type of pple, if not they think everybody must follow their SOP pattern, or should I say Rules of engagements.

If you follow her case history, my opinion is that she pawned herself way back.

To some people its a matter of principle. After suffering (real or imagined) great injustice, its natural to want justice.

We may laugh at her now... but if she wins, she will then be held up as an example of never giving up, triumphing after great struggle etc etc.....

From the 17th Aug ST article, it seems that they tried to settle with her because there were some discrepancies with the way she was dismissed. They went so far as to offer her 6 months pay but she refused. Perhaps she thinks she can win.

For a civil servant to get dismissed it must have been a monumental feat from her.

hmm.. she might have felt so wrong that she needed to release the words non-stop
