Maybe the judge for the SPH editor's case, Justice Choo Han Teck, was also "meditating" when he sentenced her to one day's jail and a $10,000 for causing death by dangerous driving. Proof that he was "inattentive" - the defense lawyer and prosecutors have to get hold of him that same afternoon to tell him that the section of the Road Traffic Act under which the editor was charged only allowed him to impose jail time and NOT a fine. Shouldn't the bloody judge have read the section first before he passed sentence?

Cannot blame that learned judge. Sentencing her to a day's jail was to placard the necitizens but what was in his mind was the $$$$ never mind what the law so stated. That is why the Justices here now need new statutory law to effectively contempt you should you argue further.
