AhJason 5th Gear April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 (edited) <_< Singaporeans are already feeding him for life. Drug courier spared death now challenges caning sentence Malaysian drug courier Yong Vui Kong, who was spared the gallows after a string of unsuccessful fights against his death sentence, is now challenging the caning regime in Singapore.Yong, 25, was re-sentenced in November last year to life imprisonment and 15 strokes of the cane. This followed changes to the law which give judges the discretion to impose life terms and caning, instead of the previously mandatory death penalty, for drug couriers who help the authorities in a substantive way.However, Yong filed an appeal last week, asking for his caning sentence to be quashed.His lawyer M Ravi is challenging the constitutionality of caning, in particular the manner in which the punishment is carried out. http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/courts-crime/story/drug-courier-spared-death-now-challenges-caning-sentence-20140428 Edited April 28, 2014 by AhJason ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVT Supercharged April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 Drug courier spared death now challenges caning sentence However, Yong filed an appeal last week, asking for his caning sentence to be quashed. His lawyer M Ravi is challenging the constitutionality of caning, in particular the manner in which the punishment is carried out. What was his basis of appeal against canning? We need to look at the reasons first before commenting further.... Eg. medical reason, then maybe it is a reasonable cause for appeal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 (edited) His basis is to earn more bonus from his client if caning excused Who pay him? I think the client's family is quite broke by now after fighting the case for so many years. Edited April 28, 2014 by Jman888 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic April 29, 2014 Share April 29, 2014 (edited) He's just being manipulated to become a drug mule. I think the judge could be less harsh? Like the life imprisonment is not enough. Not everyone is so good life like Singaporeans, so privilege and all. He came from a village leh. So typical. Ppl here only talk $$$.
