On the other hand, an interested member of the profession or public is entitled to object under rule 28 of the legal profession admission rules. I'm too humji but I hope somebody with stronger feelings about this does it.

To be honest, I wonder how many partners or JP also cheat sia. This issue must have been cankering for very long. If 1 of them cheated and still managed to be a partner, and bullying the NQs some more, these people really have a place reserved in hell.

Another thing, i wonder how the jurisdiction might be if this happened in UK or US. Quite ashamed that this is how it ends in SG

CHT also said “They are loathe to shut the door on a wrongdoer with no prospects of redemption. But they also have a duty to prevent a repeat of the wrong, and to do so without breaking young backs in the process.”

“But second chances are for those who seize them. If ever they were to plead for a third, I wish them good luck.”

Can we also apply this to rapists, drug smugglers, kidnappers and murderers too, if they are young

Looks like therere more than 6. The 2020 bar exam cohort is tainted thanks to these losers. Everybody will always be wondering whether those who managed to get called had also cheated but escaped detection. Bozos

Will they also be given a soft rap on the knuckle too? Any of them in Big 4? tsk tsk.....

CHT said that he's giving the initial 6 a second chance but may not be so kind to others in future.

I think he spoke too soon lol. It's a total of 11 now with possibly more on the way.

Where's the line going to be drawn? What if even more cases surface? What if it transpires that there are a total of say 25 cases?

Are all of these guys going to be given second chances too?

Actually the only way to test people's integrity is to put them in a position of compromise. Do they then take advantage of the situation or not?

I believe that there are cheaters-at-heart in every batch, but this batch apparently took their exams remotely which created the chance to cheat via Whatsapp. For most batches in the past, the exams were held conventionally in exam halls. The opportunities to cheat (in such a manner at least) were close to zero and hence people rarely cheated.

Does this mean that those from previous batches had more integrity? Not necessarily. They simply were not tested on their integrity.

Out of the 6, I get the sense from news reports that the 5 who owned up quickly really just stumbled in a moment of weakness. But the one who denied her wrongdoing until the last minute seems like a pretty jialat character. At least she should be named for the sake of society.

Charles yeo kor kor know who the 6 are

No gag order and Choo j can't anyhow impose a gag order on this case. On what basis? Can name and shame them ah

U want people like them to settle your divorce case? Or to fight for Ur defamation case? Eh they may have taken bribe from the opposition and purposely makes u lose Ur case. Issit got white horse among these 6?

If a judge's verdict is not neutral, I think we shd get AI to help in judgment. Papa Choo too kind and loving liao.

Now news say got 11 liao. Not just 6.
