s a Singaporean, I strongly encourage the family of David Hartanto Widjaja to bring the case into his death before an international court so that the Indonesian people will know the truth.
There is no justice in Singapore compared to Indonesia, which has (I believe) for the last 30 years had one of the least corrupt court systems in Southeast Asia.
I honestly encourage the family to go international so Singapore's reputation of dishonesty, immaturity and ill-knowledge will be exposed. This way the issue will become as big as possible, the world will pay attention and our country will improve.
I suggest also that both the local and Singapore newspapers publish the story as a headline piece when the verdict is announced. Singaporeans need to realize there is a high chance the court system was wrong and the nation will owe David's family and Indonesia an apology. Let everyone laugh at our country, our poor legal system and our senseless people. Hopefully we will wake up to the ideas of our neighbors. There is so much education in Singapore yet so much immaturity.
