How now brown cow?

[Freeder]

I’m worried for the tribunal committee members…

[Kyrios]

Nothing will happen lah. Haven begin already 4 out of 5 charges struck off...

Im more surprised this gentleman can hold down a taxing job as a lawyer, be a member of parliament representing the people, and also deputy speaker..all at the same time..

Man..how many salaries are he drawing and can he be counted to speak up for his constituents after a stressful day in the law firm...

Anyway i noticed a lot of these Meet the MP sessions are actually hosted by grassroots leeders and volunteers....seldom see the MP one..

Since he is found guilty, likely suspension (optimistically) and fine (cannot escape)

Guilty liao.

Pending appeal 

“A disciplinary tribunal found that Mr Christopher James de Souza assisted his client in suppressing evidence by preparing an affidavit that left out information.”

The inquiry committee kinda kelong? Is this the norm?

  Quote

The case was then referred to an Inquiry Committee. In July 2021, the committee found that Mr de Souza breached his paramount duty to the court and recommended that he be fined S$2,000.

The committee did not form the view that a formal investigation by a disciplinary tribunal was necessary.

How can suppressing evidence be taken so lightly? And also to blame the client for being difficult is more like an excuse.
