31/1/24, 10:00 am - +REACH: *๐Ÿ“ข Topic ๐Ÿ“ข*

On Monday (22 Jan), Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam clarified that while a proposed harsher sentencing option could mean that some dangerous offenders who committed serious crimes could be detained indefinitely, it was also likely that some would be detained for a shorter period.

Minister K Shanmugam made these remarks to clarify some misunderstandings and aspects of a new Criminal Procedure (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill that was recently introduced in parliament earlier this month.

*๐Ÿ’ฌ What are your views on the proposed harsher sentencing option for high-risk offenders? What more can we do to ensure public safety is prioritised?*

The proposed framework empowers the courts to apply a Sentence for Enhanced Public Protection (SEPP) on dangerous offenders, specifying an imprisonment period spanning from five to 20 years.

Addressing apprehensions, Mr. Shanmugam clarified concerns related to the possibility of offenders sentenced to an SEPP being detained for life or an extended duration beyond the current norms.

Mr. Shanmugam highlighted that those who fail to undergo rehabilitation and consistently pose a significant risk post their minimum sentences may face extended detention. Additionally, he acknowledged the possibility of some offenders being subjected to shorter detention periods.

31/1/24, 10:08 am - +Bhavani: High risk offenders are a threat to public safety so should be imprisoned for life.

31/1/24, 10:10 am - +Rama: Fair but must apply impartially without interference.

"In the case of mentally disabled individuals  who committed unintentional crimes of harm or hate or even horror proven to be mentally unsound and thereafter sentenced by court may find themselves harder to reunite and integrate back to one's home and loved ones, community and society at large....

31/1/24, 11:05 am - +Frankie Wee: I had trying befriendly at IMH she was disorder bipolar. Not easy to make her understand and unwilling share open heart talk. She would sometime very foul mind and aggressive

31/1/24, 11:08 am - +Frankie Wee: Ex-convict alway out and in jail again will be new SEPP under revise by lawyer.

31/1/24, 11:10 am - +Frankie Wee: What if it murder very high risk Ah’s serious sent death penalty.

31/1/24, 11:32 am - +Bhavani: If they are so mentally disabled that they have committed crimes harming other people physically, it would be dangerous to release them among the public

31/1/24, 11:33 am - +Bhavani: There is no way they should be among the community causing harm again

31/1/24, 11:34 am - +Bhavani: We have enough stresses to worry about, to also have to worry about threat to our lives

31/1/24, 11:35 am - +Bhavani: There is no way people who physically harm others dangerously can ever integrate back to the community and society at large

31/1/24, 12:02 pm - +Rama: The government gazette and the law society can shed some light.

31/1/24, 12:03 pm - +Rama: Selective offences only ismy belief not across the board.

31/1/24, 12:04 pm - +~.@: My take is that for this to be truly impartial, the court should be the one deciding and not the minister.. let the court justices review the condition. the minister is still a political office. we also dont want a risk of the rule being used to detain political opponents for extended period. the mechanism is of a good intent, but the execution is the one I don't agree with.

31/1/24, 12:05 pm - +Rama: My sentiments exactly!

31/1/24, 12:09 pm - +Smiley face: This message was deleted

31/1/24, 12:13 pm - +Bhavani: Again DNA modification may be researched on to see if it can be done ethically of course, to change the behaviour of harmful criminals. Otherwise, it is dangerous to release physical harm causing criminals

31/1/24, 12:14 pm - +Rama: NO!

31/1/24, 12:14 pm - +Frankie Wee: How do it work? Use electric shock on the brain ๐Ÿง ?

31/1/24, 12:17 pm - +Bhavani: Currently a lot of research is  underway to assess if DNA can be modified to prevent diseases. Currently dna tests are already undergone by some criminals to find out if they have committed crimes

31/1/24, 12:17 pm - +Rama: Laymen cannot make such suggestions! Only we'll renowned academics and medical researchers.

"Sanity and Proofing Beyond All Doubts"

"In the case of mentally disabled individuals  who committed unintentional crimes of harm or hate or even horror proven to be mentally unsound and thereafter sentenced by court may find themselves harder to reunite and integrate back to one's home and loved ones, community and society at large. 

Nothing profound, the proposed stricter measures perhaps is to ensure the overall public safety and at the same consideration all questionable spectrum of mental disorders may continue to haunt a person for a longer period of time or in cases over a lifetime of mental instability even with medical interventions. 

There are Psychiatric evidences to substantiate when mentally unstable patients encountering past experiences (unconscious) in present moment (un-conscious) may trigger them to commit illogical acts upon other innocence strangers at random or in a sequential momentum triggering undesirable social actions, once again, similar to previous convicted wrongdoings."

31/1/24, 12:19 pm - +Smiley face: Perhaps so, for the underlying complexity of the human mind and the following behaviors and the psychology of actions are full of questionable intentions... for good or bad or ugly?

My close friend comments:-

I understand the good intent of SEPP but I'm concerned over the final decision of release rest upon the Minster of the day.

Does that mean we are mixing government powers and judicial powers?

What if one day, the people of Singapore voted in a bunch of morons ? 

Letting them govern is bad enough, and they also encroach into judicial matters? ๐Ÿค”


31/1/24, 12:48 pm - +Rama: Likewise

31/1/24, 12:48 pm - +Frankie Wee: Exactly

31/1/24, 12:48 pm - +Kenneth Lee WM: I second this.  

It gives the minister so much power. They are the ones who decide who's guilty or not.  If the minister is fair and just, is ok. But we can't guarantee that.  Our ministers are not 100% perfect.

How to send a signal and command your stomach to digest slower and optimise the process of oxygen and CO2? How about instructing your heart to pump according to your activity whether is walking, sitting or exercising at various intensity? And to act and react under highly stressed conditions such as a crisis or in an examination?...

31/1/24, 12:57 pm - +Rama: Too much currently in the hands of politicians!

31/1/24, 12:58 pm - +Rama: One example is ISA which long ago was the judiciary to decide until the government lost the case and the minister became the judge!

31/1/24, 12:59 pm - +Thailand words: Yes I agree. As now we are going back to 1960s. they side by side. They can do what they like . Even "c" do nothing. Where got F & S . School can forge signature and they doing nothing even the "SC" and "P" .

31/1/24, 1:02 pm - +Thailand words: Once they are the top the can do anything, even there is fair or justice. In order not the shame "G" . they will still cover up each other otherwise big news will be out and they got fire and throw out. Which "M" want this. They are holding high $ , who will go against $. Even they are fair, they will still follow the trend and became not fair

31/1/24, 1:03 pm - +Bhavani: No it's not ridiculous

31/1/24, 1:05 pm - +Thailand words: 16 years kana strong education. Whose fault , Not the child but it is the society fault.

31/1/24, 1:21 pm - +Thailand words: Unless Justice Bao alive as he not scare of these.......................... and willing to use his life to uphold justice. In this era, where got such ppl. Every one salute to $ . .....................said east , every one rush there without second thought to protect themselves.

31/1/24, 1:23 pm - +Thailand words: Just like the transport , think before do . After launch got problem, they hold back and big a news of how much they use to go back old system . This is show off. If they confident it works well , will this happen. All this is tax payer $ . Taking $ pay and trial is the worse decision

31/1/24, 1:24 pm - +Rama: Half past six LTA!


31/1/24, 1:24 pm - ☸️  Danny ๅฟƒ: 

I think there is a valid point for the bill.

Because hardcore criminals after serving their sentence - do continue to commit crime because they have not repented.

Thus they do post a threat to the society.

Hence additional measures will need to protect society from such hardcore criminals.

But of course, there is a need to ensure the additional measures are appropriate, not punitive or subject to abuse - because true enough, good government is not always a given in a democracy as populism can throw in a fluke government.


31/1/24, 1:24 pm - +Frankie Wee: <Media omitted>

31/1/24, 1:24 pm - +Rama: ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜ƒ

31/1/24, 1:24 pm - +Frankie Wee: He order sent them executive cut off head

31/1/24, 1:24 pm - +Thailand words: Now the other thing is school forge signature still can stay in school to teach, what moral is this. Teach the children to chaet lie forge document . These are rubbish .

31/1/24, 1:24 pm - +Rama: Valid yes but still suspicious intend is there!

31/1/24, 1:24 pm - +Frankie Wee: I don’t know how to believe real story

31/1/24, 1:25 pm - +Frankie Wee: Justice alway respond them SEPP every step case

31/1/24, 1:29 pm - +Thailand words: When old lee is around , there are lesser crime . After he pass on, all went up. What is ..............................doing ? Sleeping ? 

Talking about hard core, who will go back unless situation force them. Outside everything is X , there is no sympathy around, every one is color blind. If I am a hardcore, I will chose go back free food , free lodging , everything is free and every one is not color blind. the hard core will be recognitions in there than out side  as all are equal inside there.

31/1/24, 1:29 pm - +Rama: Agree

31/1/24, 1:33 pm - +Thailand words: Every thing has a root cause. Without looking at the root cause, no matter how hard they trim the leave , the culprit is still there. Before starting all these trimming , they will have to on how to treat the root and do prevention .  

By give .................... high authorize, then if he dun like who ever he can anyhow blame others. 

This is not "I" , while fist or wealth take control all .

 A wise leader should look after the root cause and not his preference on dealing .

31/1/24, 1:35 pm - +Frankie Wee: The ex-convict said I don’t care what minister set new SEPP. I will enjoy in jail eat and sleep. All this NOTHING life.

31/1/24, 1:35 pm - +Thailand words: I salute Old L . He run it so well but got ruin after he pass on. During his times, all are justice. He is always there to hear ppl out and do the necessary be it a "G" or what ever . He is a partial , justice leader

31/1/24, 1:35 pm - +Rama: Same application when CJ Suresh Menon mentioned some time ago that something must be done to prevent ex convicts from treating prison as a eternal home!

31/1/24, 1:35 pm - +Rama: Agree

31/1/24, 1:35 pm - +Frankie Wee: Encouraging give a second chance by ex-convict is really hard accept

31/1/24, 1:36 pm - +Thailand words: Yup all free . And no colour sight ppl . Every one is equal inside , not like the society

31/1/24, 1:36 pm - +Rama: How many ex convicts are working in civil service and government link companies!?

31/1/24, 1:37 pm - +Thailand words: No matter how hard they encourage, also no use , it is how the society accept them and how "G" make society accept them without colour blind

31/1/24, 1:37 pm - +Frankie Wee: 10% of them or 60% are chance

31/1/24, 1:37 pm - +Thailand words: Wait long long , none of them .

31/1/24, 1:37 pm - +Thailand words: There is section that ex convict are not allow to work in "G"

31/1/24, 1:37 pm - +Rama: At what level?  Rank and file/middle management?

31/1/24, 1:38 pm - +Rama: No issue

31/1/24, 1:38 pm - +Rama: My thinking

31/1/24, 1:38 pm - +Bhavani: Yes similar to what I said in earlier Reach feedback,  criminality can also arise from severe injustice faced by criminals, like for example, if their parents get attacked for no reason and they face unbearable trauma from witnessing the ferocious attack and want to take revenge on perpetrator <This message was edited>

31/1/24, 1:39 pm - +Rama: Is society don't change, government must set example!

31/1/24, 1:39 pm - +Thailand words: Even "G" are colour blind , what do think of the society, of course they will color blind also.

31/1/24, 1:39 pm - +Frankie Wee: Singapore singapore changi prison how many prisons they had turn new leaf

31/1/24, 1:39 pm - +Rama: Agree!

31/1/24, 1:40 pm - +Rama: Society and government ostracized them!

31/1/24, 1:40 pm - +Thailand words: Wait long long , the need $ only . Do u think they will set example. 

The school forge signature, it is "G" school. is this an good example

31/1/24, 1:41 pm - +Frankie Wee: Chance are job offer them they must be well educated and behaviour

31/1/24, 1:41 pm - +Rama: Wow!

31/1/24, 1:41 pm - +Frankie Wee: Unbelievable ex-convict can do well in O level result all high score

31/1/24, 1:42 pm - +Thailand words: Yes they are well behave and educate, but how long they can sustain when others looking at them differently and every thing so X. Might as well go in better.

31/1/24, 1:42 pm - +Rama: Perseverance and determination to turn over a new leaf!

31/1/24, 1:42 pm - +Rama: True

31/1/24, 1:42 pm - +Frankie Wee: SEPP nothing is change new policy prison

31/1/24, 1:43 pm - +Frankie Wee: Keep on out and in

31/1/24, 1:43 pm - +Thailand words: Dun forget, inside everything is free. and all ppl dun carry color spec. They treat each other equal . hence they are more able to pour out the trouble to each other without despite or look down

31/1/24, 1:43 pm - +Frankie Wee: True

31/1/24, 1:44 pm - +Rama: Yes

31/1/24, 1:44 pm - +Frankie Wee: But problem is mental and behaviour

31/1/24, 1:44 pm - +Rama: Yes

31/1/24, 1:45 pm - +Thailand words: Example, I put out a fire while other tried to rose the fire . If u will me , will u still keep putting off fire, u will not. The root cause of this is the ppl rose the fire , and we deal with it the keep putting off fire and let the ppl keep rose the fire. It will never end

31/1/24, 1:47 pm - +Thailand words: Rather than set up this. They should have organization without color spec and motive. hear them out , guide them, support them, and solve problem together, that a high "G" has the right to judge and causing more problem and CWP get more crowed

31/1/24, 1:47 pm - +Frankie Wee: https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2022/10/26/malaysia-aims-to-cut-prison-occupancy-by-two-thirds-in-eight-years

31/1/24, 1:49 pm - +Thailand words: If this the problem , we cannot do anything at the end of the day , who cause this ? Society ? PPL ard ? or himself  all this are part of the root cause

31/1/24, 1:51 pm - +Rama: Money and time wasted with nothing to show!

Most countries would disallowed people with criminal records access to their countries. Given the fact of migrations, would it not be prudent to check the status of foreign individuals seeking entry to a country; firstly to have a clean record, secondly, a clean bill of health and thirdly, the means to survive?

31/1/24, 2:40 pm - +Frankie Wee: If they are smoking or drug abuse before then will be thirdly and surviving in prison.

If they healthy and good exhausted in healthy have good emotional peace thinner.

Changi prison has nothing special

31/1/24, 3:21 pm - +Smiley face: Fantasy or Reality?

Road accidents that caused severe damages or death. Part of the preliminary Police investigations is to dig into Both victim and driver mental health to disprove any foul play or existing mental disorders or intentional suicidal behavior. Are there past and or present traces of prescribed psychotic drugs, drugs overdose or drugs abused? All of these knowns and unknowns will form the  bulk of legal challenges to the defense and the prosecution....


31/1/24, 3:25 pm - ☸️  Danny ๅฟƒ: 

1. Looking at this Bill objectively, I think there is valid justification to :-

a. Ensure hardcore, recalcitrant and refusal to repent criminals - are kept out of the Society - as they will re-commit crimes and cause harm to the population - even though they may have finished serving their sentence.


b. Judge will be stressed out to meted out the maximum sentence - even though the crime may not merit it - if the Judge feel that the accused will re-offend after completing his/her sentence.

Sometimes, even the maximum sentence will not keep the offenders from re-offending again - if the offenders have not repented and refrain from re-committing crime.


c. Hence, I feel that most people will support the need to implement additional measures - rather than just relying on court sentence to deter hardcore recalcitrant and non-repentance criminals.

I feel that there are not much dispute or disagreement on this point.


2. Now is how to implement additional measures fairly to ensure hardcore criminals are keep out of the Society from causing harm, but at the same time :-

a. Ensure the additional measures are not being abused

b. Administer fairly

c. And an escape switch be allowed, if hardcore criminals have indeed repented and longer custody will not be necessary.

d. Another dimension is being raised - should Government and Justice functions be segregated - in administering criminal justice?

Let us examine this dimension in details later on.


31/1/24, 3:26 pm - +Rama: Point 2d -YES!

31/1/24, 4:00 pm - +REACH: *๐Ÿ“ข Topic ๐Ÿ“ข*

31/1/24, 4:01 pm - +Rama: 2b. Psychological and psychiatric evaluation plays a important part too along with impartial input from case officers.

31/1/24, 4:02 pm - +Rama: Point 2a. How to ensure independent audit!?


31/1/24, 4:06 pm - ☸️  Danny ๅฟƒ: 

*Should Government functions be segregated from Justice functions - in administering criminal justice?*


1. The issue being, Government is a lawmaker that make laws, debate in Parliament, get the law approved.

And Courts will judge based on the approved laws - in administering justice.

Hence the segregation of functions is clear and transparent - no conflict of interest.

And no one is above the law.

This scenario is particularly important as it introduce "check and balance" - whereby Government check on the Justice function (by amending laws to ensure Justice can carry out its job competently and objectively).

At the same time, Justice and check the Government to ensure abuse cannot take place and no one is above the law.

And particular applicable - if populist fluke incompetent government win the election in a democratic election.


2. On the other hand, if a good and competent Government is helming the Governance, then a caring and competent Minister who has the last say that encompass this new Bill is not an issue - because the Government job is to protect the population and the Society.


3. The concern raise by my close friend - is due to many examples that have recently arises globally --- too sensitive to raise here.

But indeed a rogue government - could have abused the additional measures - and keep people out of circulation.


4. So throwing another mechanism into discussion :-

- how about having an advisory panel comprising of professionals of the right calibre to advise the court?


5. There are pros and cons to each approach:-

a. Minister have the final say - to extend or shorten the criminals - based on experts advise - if indeed the hardcore criminals have repented or not.

- Pro :- A good, competent and caring Minister will be very efficient and effective - in safeguarding the population and Society, while ensuring the offenders right are not abused if the offenders indeed have repented and can be re-integrated into the Society.

- Con :- A bad Minister could abuse it - by keeping good people but non-supporters of Government out of the Society.


b. An independent advisory professional panel.

- Pro - Justice independent from Government. Professional advisory panel more objective and less likely to subject to abuse - if the independent panel is objectively selected.

- Con - less efficient and more time consuming to assemble a team of independent professionals. Still can be abused if selected by a bad government to do its biding.

Even if this independent advisory professional panel is decided by Court and not the Government - there are still cons to it, for example:-

- A bad government can retire the Judges and insert Judges that do its biding.

- Court may not have the expertise to look for and appoint competent and independent professional panel - and will have to rely on Government that have the resources and knowledge to do so.


6. Hence I stay neutral in either approach - that is Minister have final say or Independent Professional Panel --- as both approach have its pros and cons -- and both rely on a Good and Competent Government of the Day.

Hence electing a Good and Competent Governmen is paramount come the General Election.

Else no matter what mechanism put in to do the "Check and Balance" - a bad government can dismantle many things - and put the Country in a very bad state.

It all depends on the Wisdom of the Voters - to vote in a Good and Dependable Government - not a populist one that promise everything under the sun - but will sink the Country in near, middle or long term.


This is my "Honest Assessment" and also my "Close Friend Assessment".


31/1/24, 4:19 pm - +Rama: Point 2. Minister having the last say is an issue for me.

31/1/24, 4:19 pm - +Rama: Same for Point 5.

31/1/24, 4:20 pm - +Rama: Point 6 - Independent


31/1/24, 4:25 pm - ☸️  Danny ๅฟƒ: 

The check and balance is, if a minister make abusive or wrong decision - voters can make a choice during election.

If independent advisory panel make a wrong decision - what will be the recourse?

Just thinking aloud...


31/1/24, 4:26 pm - +Smiley face: Ministers are given the peoples' mandates to decide...?

31/1/24, 4:27 pm - +Rama: Election time means live with five years of mistake!

31/1/24, 4:27 pm - +Rama: Seems to be taken for granted!


31/1/24, 4:28 pm - ☸️  Danny ๅฟƒ: 

So independent advisory panel mistake have no recourse...


31/1/24, 4:30 pm - +Rama: Yet to be tested.


31/1/24, 4:30 pm - ☸️  Danny ๅฟƒ:

That means, independent advisory panel power is bigger than the minister - and there is no recourse.


31/1/24, 4:32 pm - +Smiley face: That's all folks!

Importantly, at the end of the day, all we want is a sane, safe and stable Singapore!

31/1/24, 4:34 pm - +Rama: Agree

31/1/24, 4:35 pm - +Rama: Ownself check ownself, punish ownself, cover ownself, reward ownself is the issue.


31/1/24, 4:36 pm - ☸️  Danny ๅฟƒ: 

Yes.

Voters check Minister.

Independent panel - ownself check ownself.


31/1/24, 4:38 pm - +Rama: Five years to live with a mistake is too long.


31/1/24, 4:39 pm - ☸️  Danny ๅฟƒ: 

Independent panel mistake is eternal.


31/1/24, 4:39 pm - +Frankie Wee: Political and self integrity standards all minister must come clean and zero tolerance corruption

31/1/24, 4:40 pm - +Rama: Both has its setbacks

31/1/24, 4:41 pm - +Rama: Easier said than done.


31/1/24, 4:41 pm - ☸️  Danny ๅฟƒ: 

That's why I stay neutral - because there are no perfect solution.


31/1/24, 4:41 pm - +Frankie Wee: Word louder than action

31/1/24, 4:42 pm - +Rama: Have to make a stand sometimes.

31/1/24, 4:42 pm - +Rama: Action seems timid.

31/1/24, 4:43 pm - +Frankie Wee: Trump no good

31/1/24, 4:44 pm - +Rama: Agree!

31/1/24, 4:44 pm - +Smiley face: How to draw the code?

Sanity and insanity, clean and dirty? Guilty and not guilty?

31/1/24, 4:44 pm - +Frankie Wee: The same Singapore support

31/1/24, 4:44 pm - +Smiley face: Good or bad?

31/1/24, 4:45 pm - +Frankie Wee: Hard justice

31/1/24, 4:46 pm - +Smiley face: Sending someone to death row is hard justice, by meaning of sleepless nites prior and after the sentence is carried out? The judges that decided....True or false?

31/1/24, 4:47 pm - +Rama: Hard to say in our local context.

31/1/24, 4:48 pm - +Smiley face: The same concept can be applied to retain or extend someone from the daylight of freedom and out of jail or mental institution?

31/1/24, 4:50 pm - +Frankie Wee: True basic on case lawyer battle to win client. But hardest is carry drug may sent to death penalty

31/1/24, 4:50 pm - +Rama: With proper diagnosis and recommendations. Not behind the scenes influence.

31/1/24, 4:50 pm - +Rama: Yes

31/1/24, 4:56 pm - +Jimmy Chew: Single ward yes. What about GRC

31/1/24, 4:57 pm - +Frankie Wee: Can let people voice mandates so minister will make decisions

31/1/24, 4:57 pm - +Rama: Exactly!?

31/1/24, 4:58 pm - +Frankie Wee: Singaporean people

31/1/24, 4:58 pm - +Rama: Public consultation is vague still!

31/1/24, 4:59 pm - +Rama: Outcome seems doctored

31/1/24, 5:00 pm - +Smiley face: Still mandate counts.

31/1/24, 5:01 pm - +Frankie Wee: Mental institution let have exam according. Release from jail they feeling freedom but nobody be there for him or her.

31/1/24, 5:01 pm - +Rama: True

31/1/24, 5:02 pm - +Smiley face: Own self care ownself

31/1/24, 5:02 pm - +Rama: Yup

31/1/24, 5:02 pm - +Frankie Wee: Agreed self care

31/1/24, 5:02 pm - +Smiley face: Then comes the LONELY MIND....

31/1/24, 5:02 pm - +Rama: Emotional and psychological support lacking

31/1/24, 5:02 pm - +Frankie Wee: Yes agreed

31/1/24, 5:02 pm - +Rama: Leading to!?

31/1/24, 5:02 pm - +Smiley face: Then start to think...

31/1/24, 5:03 pm - +Smiley face: Old ways...

31/1/24, 5:03 pm - +Rama: Is life worth living!?

31/1/24, 5:03 pm - +Smiley face: Wait ...

31/1/24, 5:03 pm - +Frankie Wee: Think oneself and bravo to step out to committee centre or church

31/1/24, 5:04 pm - +Smiley face: Jung agreed with Freud on the theory of Repression that explained the reasons of unconscious as unconscious, simply to say the conscious experience proving unconscious and causing conflicts was repressed thus became unconscious. Whether it was dream or manifestation of abnormality; thus proving consciousness had it not repressed would have remained conscious. For Jung who strongly believed  that the unconscious mind acted autonomously means that the motivated conscious mind acted independently....

31/1/24, 5:04 pm - +Rama: Family social services!?

31/1/24, 5:04 pm - +Frankie Wee: Yes social worker helping

31/1/24, 5:04 pm - +Smiley face: Limitations

31/1/24, 5:04 pm - +Rama: Hugh!?

31/1/24, 5:05 pm - +Rama: Workload stress

31/1/24, 5:07 pm - +Smiley face: First happening....

31/1/24, 5:07 pm - +Frankie Wee: Emotional intelligence must accepted who they are belong

31/1/24, 5:08 pm - +Smiley face: Identity crisis?

31/1/24, 5:08 pm - +Rama: Yup

31/1/24, 5:08 pm - +Frankie Wee: If he or she reject 

There is nothing left in life alone even not enough saving for them

31/1/24, 5:09 pm - +Rama: Agree

31/1/24, 5:09 pm - +Smiley face: Second happening?...

31/1/24, 5:09 pm - +Rama: Still must help

31/1/24, 5:09 pm - +Smiley face: Physical, Emotional, Mental (PEM)

31/1/24, 5:10 pm - +Frankie Wee: Cry or not

Stay away or not 

Feeling more guilty without seek help

31/1/24, 5:10 pm - +Smiley face: Make it happen!

31/1/24, 5:10 pm - +Frankie Wee: Rejected will be more difficult

31/1/24, 5:10 pm - +Smiley face: Third happening?

31/1/24, 5:11 pm - +Frankie Wee: Finally if they have good life begin career or own business stall

31/1/24, 5:11 pm - +Smiley face: Engage & Integrate

31/1/24, 5:11 pm - +Smiley face: Third happening.... realization!

31/1/24, 5:11 pm - +Rama: That would be great

31/1/24, 5:12 pm - +Smiley face: Engage, Integrate, realize.

31/1/24, 5:18 pm - +Rama: ๐Ÿค

31/1/24, 5:45 pm - +Smiley face: Let's think of the larger concept of "Active Living"...

31/1/24, 5:48 pm - +Rama: Community must come together

31/1/24, 5:49 pm - +Smiley face: When an individual turns to the extreme, it can be violence or or radical thoughts, or the end game of terror attacks....

What did it say about this individual mind/brain?

Loneliness and distance from family, workplace or school and the society at large! 

Unable to connect meaningfully and the meaning of success is not in the consideration sets of this mind!

So how to re-engage this brain?

31/1/24, 5:50 pm - +Rama: Easier to deal with cluster than a lobe wolf

31/1/24, 5:50 pm - +Smiley face: What are the attributes of failure?

1) cannot find common ground

31/1/24, 5:50 pm - +Smiley face: 2)?

31/1/24, 5:52 pm - +Smiley face: 3) ?

31/1/24, 5:52 pm - +Rama: 2) online influence without knowledge of family

31/1/24, 5:52 pm - +Rama: 3) peer pressure

31/1/24, 5:52 pm - +Smiley face: Yes, that's the environment...

Two prong.... internal and external

31/1/24, 5:53 pm - +Smiley face: Yes, usually that 5-7 folks

31/1/24, 5:53 pm - +Rama: Yup

31/1/24, 5:54 pm - +Smiley face: If you are ISD, you focus on groupings...

Then declutter to find that 1 or 2 !

31/1/24, 5:55 pm - +Smiley face: 4) the use of Soft and Hard tactics....Both the radic and the authority can use it.

31/1/24, 5:55 pm - +Smiley face: 5) ?

31/1/24, 5:55 pm - +Rama: Monitor social media, listen to coffee shop talk/other public places etc

31/1/24, 5:57 pm - +Smiley face: Coffee shops are an old venue for older folks...

The Youth of today do it other ways, only through penetrating into the group, you will begin to SEE and GOT IT...

Remember, Human are social animals and creatures of habits

31/1/24, 6:11 pm - +Rama: The former head of the Singapore academy of law made a comment recently which it seems did not sit well with the government and had to resign after only three years! The law society some time ago comment on a school boy arrested and was taken to task by the government! Where is the right to comment fairly without being threatened indirectly it seems!?

31/1/24, 6:12 pm - +Rama: We have senior counsels with vast experience for what!?

31/1/24, 6:21 pm - +Smiley face: This message was deleted

31/1/24, 6:21 pm - +Smiley face: Legal Jargon Time?

To quote Article 3 of the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights. It says, "we (human) have a Red light against our being tortured or our being subjected to inhumane or degrading treatment"... in Article 10, "we have an Amber light right to freedom of expression"....unless it is necessary to do so for various reasons set out in the Article.

If there are needs to extract information from a terrorist.... that's the distinction between Red light and Amber light rights!

What is our constitution says comparing the ECHR standing?

31/1/24, 6:34 pm - +Rama: Are we terrorist or simply to be intimidated into submission! ?

31/1/24, 6:35 pm - +Smiley face: Perhaps, cases of non terror related....it should be Amber light rights, though that's according to ECHR !

31/1/24, 6:36 pm - +Rama: Beware of cross examination on the interpretation!

31/1/24, 6:36 pm - +Smiley face: The law is non presumptuous....

31/1/24, 6:36 pm - +Smiley face: Due process and the test of reasonableness...

31/1/24, 6:37 pm - +Rama: Due process is grey!

31/1/24, 6:37 pm - +Rama: Due process is costly emotionally, psychologically and financially!

31/1/24, 6:38 pm - +Smiley face: It's for the defense and the proposition to make an unique case out of it especially if there are no precedent cases to fall upon.

31/1/24, 6:39 pm - +Rama: Being held without trial is another torture!

31/1/24, 6:40 pm - +Smiley face: In between the red and amber!

One should look into the circumstances .

31/1/24, 6:41 pm - +Rama: Not in this country!

31/1/24, 6:42 pm - +Smiley face: With this SEPP, perhaps the judiciary may have to relook at the entirety from a legal and philosophical view

31/1/24, 6:43 pm - +Rama: With no interference!

31/1/24, 6:44 pm - +Smiley face: In the spirit of justice and equality.

"Sanity and Proofing Beyond All Doubts"

"In the case of mentally disabled individuals  who committed unintentional crimes of harm or hate or even horror proven to be mentally unsound and thereafter sentenced by court may find themselves harder to reunite and integrate back to one's home and loved ones, community and society at large. 

Nothing profound, the proposed stricter measures perhaps is to ensure the overall public safety and at the same consideration all questionable spectrum of mental disorders may continue to haunt a person for a longer period of time or in cases over a lifetime of mental instability even with medical interventions. 

There are Psychiatric evidences to substantiate when mentally unstable patients encountering past experiences (unconscious) in present moment (un-conscious) may trigger them to commit illogical acts (fantasy vs reality) upon other innocence strangers at random or in a sequential momentum triggering undesirable social actions, once again, similar to previous convictions."

Controlling your Body & thinking Faster?

How to send a signal and command your stomach to digest slower and optimise the process of oxygen and CO2? How about instructing your heart to pump according to your activity whether is walking, sitting or exercising at various intensity? And to act and react under highly stressed conditions such as a crisis or in an examination?

If the Human brain are fully of neurons and wired up, so where are the nanochips to synchronise all sensorimotor functions of a body (like a bot)?

How to comprehend and MAPPING the complexity of the inner body specific and interrelated functions from the head to the toes? It's more than the flow of fluid, blood,  and the expell of toxics like the posture of a yin-yang balance.  (superoptimise)

Finally, how to avoid pitfalls such as the temptations of commiting crime of all kinds from the petty ones to the pretty serious ones?

Reality?

Road accidents that caused severe damages or death. Part of the preliminary Police investigations is to dig into Both victim and driver mental health to disprove any foul play or existing mental disorders or intentional suicidal behavior. Are there needs to assess a person's psychology of personality and behavioral under clinical testing to prove sanity of the person under arrest? Are there past and or present traces of prescribed psychotic drugs, drugs overdose or drugs abused? All of these knowns and unknowns will form the  bulk of legal challenges to the defense and the prosecution.

Most countries would disallowed people with criminal records access to their countries. Given the fact of migrations, would it not be prudent to check the status of foreign individuals seeking entry to a country; firstly to have a clean record, secondly, a clean bill of health (including mental) and thirdly, the means to survive ( proven skills & money)?

Back to the Future?

In 1919 Karl Jung famously wrote a paper entitled "On the Problem of Psychogenesis in Mental Disease" and twenty years later followed by the second paper "On the Psychogenesis of Schizophrenia". The two papers combined in explaining the unconscious mental activity and the personal and collective unconscious of mental patients. Retrospective, a breakthrough (to some extend controversial) in the early years of understanding the human psychology, the association experiments, psychoanalysis, and the science of mental health. 

Jung agreed with Freud on the theory of Repression that explained the reasons of unconscious as unconscious, simply to say the conscious experience proving unconscious and causing conflicts was repressed thus became unconscious. Whether it was dream or manifestation of abnormality; thus proving consciousness had it not repressed would have remained conscious. For Jung who strongly believed  that the unconscious mind acted autonomously means that the motivated conscious mind acted independently.

In Carl Gustav Jung's final words, the future of analytical Psychology...one is overwhelmed by new impressions and new possibilities.. the future generation has the advantage of a clearer than incomplete picture... and one now knows what must be known if one is to explore the newly discovered territory. (Carl Gustav Jung, 26/7/1875 - 6/6/1961)

Are there existing medicines to balance the brain unknown deficiency from the basic of  Vitamin D to more sophisticated uplifting psychotic drugs just to tame the brain? Perhaps, neuroscientists will have to dig deeper into the composite and the chemistry of our brain to intuitively prescribe countermeasures to fight the future of the ever growing and newfound mental disorders.  And balancing is one cure to any human diseases.

Verdict? 

What if its the clash of fantasy and reality in the human mind? And for Jung and Freud, perhaps, both would undisputedly agreed to this imaginary theory of the wonderful brain!

Importantly, at the end of the day, all we want is a sane, safe and stable Singapore!

Afterwords:

Legal Jargon Time?

To quote Article 3 of the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights. It says, "we (human) have a Red light against our being tortured or our being subjected to inhumane or degrading treatment"... in Article 10, "we have an Amber light right to freedom of expression"....unless it is necessary to do so for various reasons set out in the Article.

If there are needs to extract information from a terrorist.... that's the distinction between Red light and Amber light rights!

What is our constitution says comparing the ECHR standing or IHR, or the UNHR?
