SMALL FISH FIGHTS BIG FISH?

Singapore:

In a battle between the small fish and the big fish, there’s only one end result.

And yet this lawyer cum blogger Gopalan Nair an ex-singaporean now a US citizen took the bold step where even the angels dare not step!

He insulted a Singapore court judge saying she was "prostituting herself"!

My my this guy has got some marbles!....

In the blog, Gopalan Nair criticised a recent legal hearing at which Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong testified in a defamation case they filed against an opposition party.

Nair, 58, is charged with insulting Justice Belinda Ang Saw Ean by saying she was "prostituting herself during the entire proceedings, by being nothing more than an employee of MM Lee and PM Lee and carrying out their orders," a court document said. Justice Ang presided over the hearing.

If convicted, Nair faces up to one year in prison and a S$5,000 fine.

Nair is freed on bail in Singapore and has vowed to dispute the charges. - AFP/ir

I wish this hero good luck in his future endeavors.
