Sex with underage prostitute scandal: ‘Big fishes’ in the last batch of men to be charged?
Posted by temasektimes on April 28, 2012
The online vice syndicate scandal has stirred a storm in Singapore with 48 men being charged for having sex with an underage prostitute who was 17 years old at the time of the offence.
Among the 48 men are 9 civil servants, a senior banker, a company director, a senior vice-president of a private company, lawyers, a senior police officer, the former principal of Pei Chun Public School Lee Lip Hong and prominent grassroots leader and high-ranking MOE official Chua Ren Cheng. Their ages range from between 21 to 48 years old.
Lee Lip Hong has pleaded guilty and has been sentenced to nine weeks of imprisonment.
The media reported that over 80 men has been implicated so far with the underage prostitute, but for some strange reasons, only 14 men will be charged in the last and final batch leading to some speculations if some are ‘let off’ because they are too ‘big’ to be prosecuted.
One porn site based overseas claimed that some very prominent men might be charged next:
“… the big rumor in Singapore now is that the men charged so far were the minnows (small fishes) and that the big fishes even a whale or two will be charged at the end. Every new batch of men brought to court will be made up of more and more very prominent individual with millions of dollars in their war chest. Yes, the current storm coming might be that very prominent man in Singapore and very senior officers may have used the services of the underage prostitute.”
It added that the prosecutors are now proceeding very carefully because of the involvement of powerful figures in the last batch:
“It is speculated these high ranking and elites are involved so prosecutors are being very careful preparing to go up against these people so they are dotting every” i” and crossing every “t” because a few big whales might be in the last batch. Also rumors are that part of the second batch that were brought to court and charged are already pushing back hard. And some conspiracy about an epic battle between Howard Shaw family vs. the government and the courts.”
For the sake of transparency, the prosecution should reveal the names of all the 80 plus men who allegedly had sex with the underage prostitute and explain to the public why not all are being charged for the same offence.

Thought Sh*t Times refuted the claims about very high profile men being charged in the last batch. They claimed that its just ordinary men without poweres so no big wig senior partner of law firm or some prominent civil servant. Or is it just smokescreen to shield the last batch or they are going to do it on the quiet? Shaw family got plenty of money they can do whatever they want with their money.

The truth will have to come out soon. And if so, SPH will have to be held accountable for their denial.
Prataman said
The big fish, the whales and the foreigners are always allowed to escape their wrong doings, or at most given a tap on their wrist as a punishment.
Some of those charged like Shaw, the principal and the grass root leader can be considered big fishes..
The publicity given to this case seems unreal.
It is quite unnatural in the Singapore context.
Could it be a diversionary tactic to shift people’s attention away from the bigger problems (like MRT, inflation, immigration etc)… or could there really be a whale caught in the net that they are protecting and trying to let off quietly. Possible ??

Possible….

If this is not selective justice, what is?
The principal got 9 weeks for 2 offences. Those who offended once or thrice should get proportionate sentences. Simple and quick.
Why the delay?

Yet again, not sure if itchy Yang got himself involved … Just wild guess

Four legs good, two legs bad. Some animals are more equal than others.
