Stupid Prosecutors or Long Overdue Law?

Singapore Parliament Stupid Prosecutors or Long Overdue Law? Parliament in Action: too slow - long overdue or too fast when concerning elections? The closing charter of the City Harvest Church trial indicates there is a long overdue review of the Penal Code (Section 409) in Parliament as the Court of Appeal suggested. However, it also proves that public prosecutors can easily be out smarted by clever defending lawyers. When there is gap in law, private lawyers can take advantage of the weakness in law for their clients - provided they have the money. So, private lawyers can outperform public prosecutors in open court. Driven by profit, they are willing to help their clients and even out smart the Attorney-General's Chamber to find the gap in law.
