Subordinate Court

I had the chance to attend some of the court hearings in Subordinate Court & It's really an experience!

Security was super tight there. Everyone's belongings has to be checked before entering.

The place is white, peaceful & quiet.. staffs workin thr are all properly attired. Some u noticed should be lawyers, some are family members while some are working staffs there.

When i entered court 7, wow.. the display is almost the same as what is shown on tv. Once inside the court room, everyone has to remain diam esp during a court case. I always thought that one court case will only be conducted at a time with time lapse in between, however im wrong~ Several defendents sat there & each one has committed a different crime.. one by one, the judge will give his/her judgement after hearing the individual case, what the defendent has to say etc.. every case is special & from the no. of cases conducted in a day in 1 court room (there's over 20plus court rooms in sub court), there must be a hell lots of crimes conducted by ppl in Singapore.

I sat thr for 1 hour plus and there's cases of theft, shoplift, MIA for NS etc etc.. Right thr was a female judge & she is quite compassionate i feel but firm as well. One case touched me especially.. a single parent mum shoplifted in Metro. She even prepared a speech and handed to the judge her abortion bill. After her speech, i could hear her sobbing.. she was a repeated commiter but due to her pathetic backgrd, the judge only sentenced her to 1 mth jail.

A truly unique experience sittin there listening carefully to every court cases...
