Dear brothers and sisters,
I have an interesting article to share with you which was written by Prof Michael D Barr, a prominent Prof who often comments on Singapore regime.
Quote:
Founding PM LKY received his legal training at Cambridge and was admitted to the English Bar via the Middle Temple. I know he learnt all about rule of law and common law at Cambridge University because I have interviewed and corresponded with some of his classmates and read some of the text books he was studying.
Despite his nearly immaculate pedigree, Singapore has turned its back on rule of law and common law, and explicitly rejected any claim that it should follow or be bound by any higher principles beyond those found in the letter of its laws, as interpreted by its judges or, in many sensitive cases, by a designated Cabinet Minister.
