SINGAPORE: Former National University of Singapore law professor Tey Tsun Hang has succeeded in his appeal against his conviction and sentence.

A fine of S$514.80 -- equivalent to the value of two tailored shirts and part of the cost of a dinner -- which he was ordered to pay, will also be refunded to him.

Justice Woo Bih Li ruled that Tey's former student, Ms Darinne Koh, did not give him presents and had sexual relations with him in order to get better grades.

He also said that the trial judge had erred in equating a "morally reprehensible act" with legal wrong and set aside all six charges against the professor.

However, Justice Woo had harsh words for him.

He said that Tey was a "man without honour" who had exploited his student and that he should take a "long, hard look" at himself.

Tey has also completed a five-month jail term pending the result of the appeal. He was released in October last year.

i always thought his acts wasn't something illegal. it has taken the high court judge to say that and then making people serve his sentence first........the system is wrong. period!

[Roh96]

Does that mean his 5 months jail is 'bai zhuo le'?

[Watwheels]

His career and reputation gone liao. Dunno whether he still can practice law here.

[Darryn]

If not wrong I think he "chose" to serve his sentence while the appeal was underway - (I don't have a cite for this beyond a vague recollection of a newspaper article at the time)

 

But didn't the guy in charge of his case at the CPIB get charged for corruption himself recently? The same guy that was also in charge of NBG and that Peter fellow?

I'd say so - look at the jail sentence the most recent secondary school farker got...

 

At the same time, I'm sure as hell teaching my kids not to be gullible.

 

So..my burning question is...Are schools still a safe place for our children? So we have male teachers fcking kids in secondary school all the way to uni.. LOL

ok if he chose to serve sentence before the appeal outcome, then maybe he just wants to morally atone for his deeds.

 

nevertheless, i still have grouse with the witch hunt whether or not it is the same judge presiding the 3 (Tey, Ng and Peter) cases. i all along think the case against tey and ng is quite flawed. even the case against peter, i would say still debatable.

Well, he served his time and now he is acquitted and saves himself $514.80.

 

But now, he is officially a "man without honour".

he received gifts in exchange for sex. so he's whoring himself?

 

think the persecution erred on a technicality. he should be charged for prostitution instead.

[Atonchia]

Maybe his 'walking stick' court appearance won the sympathy of a few.

Thus got a slight slap on the wrist rather than crack on butt.

Prostitution is not illegal leh. It's the world's oldest profession.

I also thought it was a major screw-up at the time - for Peter I can't comment.

 

For NBG, it was conclusively proven that he didn't in any way, shape or form influence the tender, it was actually proven (IIRC) that the budget was set prior to his even being appointed to the agency.

From what I remember of the Tey case - no proof was offered that he influenced her grades in any way.

 

The whole time, it felt, at least in my opinion, as if they were prosecuting for morality - not on any legal wrong doing.

 

of course, others may feel differently though

yep, even for peter case the link between the oral sex gratification to the act of calling mui to ask whether her company sell that equipment was contentious . the link can only be implied yet many of us in higher positions of management in our organisations have called up vendors to ask whether they supply a range of equipments and these vendors do buy us lunch. where do we draw the line? my vendor even invited me to watch the F1.

How to return the 5 months jail of which he had served ....

i heard that those whom choose to be jailed rather than pay fine, rate is 1 day per $1000.

 

ne1 can confirm this?

sorry. i meant pimping himself. "living off immoral earnings"

 

i don't think anyone here will deny lawyers are pretty immoral. lol

I'd go one further than that - I am also in corporate sales, and have followed Govt Procurements closely as a source of revenue...

 

In the case of Brompton, the guy that called the tender was rapped for not ensuring that more vendors submitted quote.

 

Have also been in the position of working with govt agencies at very preliminary stages to talk about what sorts of things they can ask for -

 

At one point the company I worked with even ran a two day course on "How to draft a call for tender" (for the services we offered)

 

Like you say - its a fine line.

 

I know that in the way I run my business -

 

The only "favour" I expect of anyone is the opportunity to participate in an honest pitch.

 

If that means the tender caller drops me a note to let me know that it has been announced - I don't see anything wrong with that, I still have to prove myself in the tender process right? And frankly speaking, if my ideas "can't make it" with what else you have been offered - I'd rather you went for the better tender, settling for substandard work is bad for you, which turns out bad for me.

Doesn't "living off immoral earnings" refer only to pimps? In this case wouldn't he more accurately be described as the Prostitute than the Pimp?

 

And full disclosure - many would consider me a whore (in the dictionary definition of the word) for what I do.

[Acemundo]

precisely....he was not in the position to decide who gets the tender successfully. he is not even in the committee. he merely called up to ask if they supplied such a machine.

 

mui's testimony also didn't reveal that peter asked for the oral sex gratification in exchange for the phone call. even if he did, it still doesn't prove he is corrupt.

 

i am sure many guys when they helped their gf whether in work or mundane chores, would also be hinting their gf to reciprocate the good deed with a session of sex.
