Outcome of trials

Well, lost most of the trials except for one. But derived great satisfaction from making my bitchy-tongued neighbours put their money where their bitchiness is.

Imagine for the Gans (136-C Everitt Road) and Loh Beng Lee (136-B Everitt Road), for misdemeanour offences that only carry a maximum fine of $2000 and having to pay Lee and Lee, their lawyers, five figure amounts for first a 3-day trial, then a 5-day trial. All the while they wanted to settle with an apology but no monetary outlay to a charity as I demanded. I refused as we are all aware the location of a Singaporean's heart is in the pocket. It worked because I have not seen the Gans any where on Everitt Rd since the trial, not even for the reunion dinner at the father's house 2-doors away from 136-C.

As for the Chuas (136-L Everitt Road) there was a lot chest-thumping and preening but after one day of trial they ALL APOLOGISED rather than proceed with the trial!!!
