Time to review unjust laws like ISA

It is good not to remove all the important posts on subjects like this. See, for years under the one-party one-man autocratic rule government has been catching only small flies in anti-corruption laws and drug laws. The big-time offenders causing big financial and security threats to the country are not really being caught. The ignorant youths become fall guys many of whom were being tricked into carrying drugs believing the packages were gold bars or such-like objects. If a government is truly interested in being effective, it should have targeted the drug laws principally at eliminating the root cause of problems – syndicates and drug lords some of whom were even closely connected to governments. (read escape from paradise site) Though the government may not want to admit or acknowledge, netizens at TOC have been criticizing the ineffective drug laws which should have targeted at eliminating the root cause not fall guys who might be people like Yong Vui King or some others as posted. At least because of netizens’ parts the AG Chambers now appear to realize injustices in our high-handed presumptuous drug laws (read Straits Times report on deferred prosecution of offenders) and would now allow holding back of prosecution by way of deferred prosecution subject to conditons to be fulfilled where there are evidences from among caught offenders of syndicates at work. This kind of injustices appear to have gone unnoticed under the existing one-man and one-party rule as none of the MPs appear to be willing to go against the autocratic laws and policies of such nature. In the same way, injustices were being caused to many innocent people under the ISA another strong autocratic law of one-man one-party rule. AG Chambers should have awakened to the possibilities of innocent offenders being victimized as fall guys by cunning drug syndicates and use the deferred prosecution agreement to hold back and try to catch drug lords or their syndicates instead of all these youthful or even stupid kids like Yong Vui Kong.
