Woman convicted for incest in Singapore first

SG law really got NO justice. Father jail 3 yrs and the gal only probation. Not long ago a employer fine only $2k for 'buried' his illegal worker but got jailed 3mth +$6k for hiring illegal workers. I really don't see ANY logic or justice in both cases!

So she was crazy enough to f her own father willingly, then decides to report themselves to the police?? Dun understand... She definitely needs psychiatric treatment.

After reading so many comments of unfairness in the judgement, I don't feel anything wrong with this particular judgement imho.... For such a case is not a matter of fairness between two individual. The father, who should be the one guiding and caring for the daughter knowingly commit such unspeakable acts. He should know that by doing this, he is affecting his daughter emotionally and physically possiblity for years to come. Even if this is a case of mutual concent, it is the father responsibility to reject such advances and advise the girl of the morality of such actions. For anyone who does not have a broken family, there is a certain trust between them and their parent in any such family relationship and this seems to me as a case of betrayal of such trust. Being relatively young, I think a 12 months probation is acceptable as she can be considered a partial victim, while a heavier sentence is appropriate for the father.

24 year old daughter sentenced to 12 months’ probation, Her father was sentenced to imprisonment three years...serious perceived unfair treatment in our law
I guess the most important is the REFORM THE HIGH COURT AND SUBORDINATE COURT structure, REPLACE BENCH TRIAL WITH JURY TRIAL IN ALL civil procedure and criminal procedure!!!!
A jury is a sworn body of people convened to render an impartial verdict (a finding of fact on a question) officially submitted to them by a court, or to set a penalty or judgment. Modern juries tend to be found in courts to ascertain the guilt, or lack thereof, in a crime.
The size of the jury varies; in criminal cases there are usually 12 jurors, although Scotland uses 15. A number of countries that are not in the English common law tradition have quasi-juries on which lay judges or jurors and professional judges deliberate together regarding criminal cases.

In civil cases many trials require only eight.
The problem with the existing Singapore judicial system is that it is "FOREVER, the same kind of perceived unfair justice REPEATING years after years", whereas for the Jury trial, should there be 1 case of bad judgment by a Juror, the Juror will be replaced, so the system ensures a forward looking and self regeneration in its selection criteria of jurors and most importantly jurors will NOT be selected by the government , whereas, exisiting singapore government hand picked chief justice, hence, the selection of other judges by Chief justice who is very much affiliated to PAP will hold similar values and judgment to that of the Chief justice. The worse thing is these judges has the final say on everything, and the law minister regularly updates the law to empower that judges can reference to the updated law to make judgment. Thats why perceived unjust of the court ruling by the general public will forever exist and repeating years after years.

The court was not able to go beyond it's own stereotypes to see that possibly the woman set up her father in revenge. If cases are judged like this, a woman will always be able to abuse the law to act with impunity. Absent hard evidence that this wasn't consensual, there shouldn't even be a case.

The title is funny leh. "Woman convicted for incest in Singapore first", then after that she'll have to visit the other 193 countries to be convicted by them?

You know the world will be one bit happier if this isn't published.

religious people are no less likely to do such stuff.. they are even more likely

This is just plain disgusting. The girl needs psychiatric evaluation. Just can't understand how can she do it WILLINGLY?

This girl must have been watching to much porn on incest.

Under 'How u feel about this article?" I wished there was a 'disgusting' icon to click on.

Law here was unfair.

Daughter with father ,son with mother, sister and brother having consesual sex are normal in some countries,but in Singapore I don't think this is the first case,cause it had happen some places in Singapore but not reported.

Pagan Practices !

humans talk and talk all about love but are not able to accept the boundaries that such love crosses... ironic... :-/

Just like living in an animal world for this family.

this is really disturbing. a goods parents must show a good example to their children.they can give their children high education whatsoever but that doesn't mean their children is well educated. just take a look at their daily lives and the surrounding. the father loves drinking and socially womanizer and even bring his daughter for drinking session acted intimately which is very wrong. being drunk, led to something and more worse to your own flesh and blood.A father ought to love and care for their children, be it boy or girl, but when our young girl grows up to be more womanly, a father has to respect her dignity and protect her not embracing her like a small child. occasionally you can give a peck on her forehead and kiss her cheek to comfort her when she is down or certain occasions but dont go beyond that. remember that devil is all around to create chaos!!!

since both are mature adults, may be should publish their photos to shame them and act as a deterrent for future copy cats and NO second case should ever happen again !!!!!

it's pure LUST! religion has nothing to do, please!

in the beginning of time, in the Bible, there are only handful humans, ever wonder how they procreate?
