Singapore Remand vs Prison and Mr Anandan
I always prefer comfort over SMRT cabs . They accept NETS , have modern fleet , courteous drivers .
So when I dawe comfort cab behind SMRT , I let SMRT go and waved at Comfort . I was little perturbed by driver asking me where I need to go but then realised normally at evening driver have leeway to choose their destination with shift time approaching .
Most of drivers in singapore are past their retirement age after having stable career. This driver was also no exception . He has definitive views on Temasek Investment , Comfort vs Grab Cost Benefit analysis but when he started talking about Queenstown Remand Center - it was juicy topic for me .
What is diff between Singapore Remand Center vs Changi Prison ?
How long it takes person to get convicted ?
What is the conviction Rate ?
What is age profile of people who are charge. ?
Do they house together multiple in one room ?
Do they wear uniform similar to prison and do they home food ?
During all these rapid question answer sessions , his mentioning Mr Subhas Anandan - Criminal Lawyer and his steadfast efforts in lessening sentence of those who are charged or even getting up acquitted . He also had good word to say about Police prosecution who make strong case .
I had head about Mr Anandan but didn’t know that he was no more . Reading about him through led me to his autobiography “ The Best I could ‘ .
Now this e book is another addition my iPhone and his unfolding life story make an interesting read .
It seems in this week crime shall stay forefront among different subjects .
