SINGAPORE: A district judge"substantially copied" arguments by the prosecution in his grounds of decision, rendering it unreliable to support the conviction of a Chinese medium who had taken drugs.
Despite ruling that"the record did not sufficiently disclose that the district judge had exercised his mind about the case at hand", Justice Aedit upheld the conviction after reviewing the case, along with the evidence, and dismissed both of Lim's appeals.decision below could not be said to contain any determination of issues or a making of a decision by the district judge," said Justice Aedit."It therefore could not be relied upon to support the appellant’s conviction.
Deputy Public Prosecutors Isaac Tan and Chin Jincheng had accepted that the judge's grounds were"strikingly similar" to the prosecution's submissions, but argued that the arguments pertaining to the form of the grounds"were irrelevant".
