Kangaroo shirts contemptible, says Singapore Attorney-General
by Scott Gilbreath ~ October 15th, 2008
Three activists with the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) are to be prosecuted for wearing t-shirts with a picture of a kangaroo wearing a judge’s robe in the Supreme Court building last May. The activists were there to show support for SDP leader Chee Soon Juan, who was being sued for defamation by Singapore’s prime minister.
The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) has received permission from the judiciary to put the uppity three in their place by charging them with contempt of court.
According to the AGC, the three men had ’scandalised the Singapore Judiciary by publicly wearing identical white T-shirts, imprinted with a palm-sized picture of a kangaroo dressed in a judge’s gown, within and in the vicinity of the New Supreme Court Building’.
By this, they meant to imply the Court was a kangaroo court, it added.
No kidding. Someone in the AGC’s office has a mind like a steel trap.
