Man charged with stealing tins of baby milk powder

If his motivation for theft is indeed for his hungry baby and he had ran out of ideas to raise money, I hope our 'fair' judicial committee will give him a lenient sentence.

Say if this thief is a PRC 'FT' who stole to feed his baby, what would the reaction here be? Interesting to know.....

There should not be a difference..... all men should be treated equal in cases like these.....

no they will not be as during sentencing, "mitigating circumstances" will have an effect.

Re: Man charged with stealing tins of baby milk powder

DrK was asking if "reactions" will be different, not the legal proceeding......

Are you telling me you will treat a FT milk powder thief differently?

law favours the rich. fact.

Yes I was referring to reactions among us. We should be impartial because we are nice people. :)

As for the legal undertakings in this country, I agree with everyone that it is not fair and will never be fair. Locals will carry the burden of setting good examples for FTs. So sentencing-wise, locals will get 2x harsher. Stupid dumb treatment.

Who still remember the pledge of Singapore? Recite it and see if it still fits into today's context. Sad.

Sorry i'm not referring to people who don't study hard and wait for money to fall from the sky. We do have some form of welfare system in place. However, not many people are aware of it. Even with the system, some needy people just need more resources.

Actually I do agree with...

IMO the verdict and penalty is far too harsh. Now his kids, if he was stealing to feed them in the first place, will be even worse off and no opportunity to lead normal lives again with their dad behind bars and they may not even survive!

So much for encouraging fertility amongst Singaporeans.

Of cos if he trying to feed himself, then he went to wrong place to look for guni hoon

1 type of rice feed many types of people. If only everyone is nice and honest, the world would be a better place. We can only try our best to help if possible. Just hope the judge will be lenient in passing down the sentence.

Like what MW had said "mitigation circumstances" will have an effect on the outcome. It's a double edge sword. It can help innocent people or could also help s-holes.

Yesh, agree. Examples of "mitigating circumcisions" are:

a. Your honour, I am Irish, therefore, I am still depressed from the great potato famine
b. Your honour, I am a natural blond, therefore, not only am I a kleptomaniac, I'm also too stupid to know it, but I know to target a Bottega over a Bonia though *hehe*
c. Your honour, I am an Australian, therefore, my blood requires a minimum alcohol level of 0.2 as anti-freeze

Great stuff, these Ang Moh sob stories :)

some counters were unattended, so they took several plastic bags + cable ties,
put what they like inside the trolley together with the plastic bag (this is mustafa centre)

when they push out, the security checked with them, but sadly no receipt, gg for them

Although, they were smart enough to take things without those "tags" else it may have sound off the alarm
 
Re: Man charged with stealing tins of baby milk powder

This very sad to hear. It simply goes to show the real pain of poverty in this country when all are made to be distracted by the bright lights that blinds us from real life issues.
 
Re: Man charged with stealing tins of baby milk powder

sigh... indeed very sad.....
must steal to feed baby.....
how to charge him?
I think if someone ask me for some money to buy food, i will give.....
what I cannot stand is when they use the money I gave them for other non essential things like cigarettes or drugs....
I don't mind donating sometimes.... but i really hate it when I get "conned"......
