Good news - more foreign talent judges to be like Hong Kong

 It is good for Singapore to learn from Hong Kong's colonial practice and mentality to hire more AngloSaxon or foreign judges to make the High Court whiter. In Hong Kong, just before the cleaning of the swamp, the judges in the High Court were mostly foreigners, meddling with Hong Kong's independence and supporting the AngloSaxon forces against China. This was how sad a state could become when foreigners called the shot, and deciding on justice and on what is lawful and not lawful in Hong Kong. The silly colonial mentality in Hong Kong was so treasonous to its integration with the Motherland that China finally put an end to it.

Singapore is quite different, no Motherland. So it could replace the whole lot with foreign talents with no such problems on loyalty to the Motherland. And to make it more palatable for Singaporeans to accept them, just issue them with the pink ICs and call them locals or residents. Oops, I mean Singaporeans. Then we can have a pure white ex colonial judges panel to make our judiciary system more like England, more authentic. Maybe can re introduce the Jury system, and can appeal to higher Appeal Courts in England. Our judiciary system would not only be more England, but can chant that it is more impartial, fair and neutral with non Singaporean judges. Oops, my mistake, resident judges. Oh, can re introduce the wigs as well, more stylo milo, like the King's Bench.

The appointments of three foreigners as high court judges by Tharman is a new milestone in independent Singapore's judiciary system. After trying so hard to break away from the British rule, to be independent, it may be time to return to the fold, to the Commonwealth. Would God Save the King be sang again in our courts? And the judiciary system, like the banking and finance system, did not have good local talents after 59 years of independence and need more foreigners to make it look good. See how good DBS has become with foreigners turned residents in charge!

Soon we will have more Ingrish judges and lawyers practising in Singapore to boost up the standard of litigation as well. NUS no need to create more spaces for law students. Local and resident judges and lawyers need a spur on their hide to raise the standard of the practice. Is this what is needed in no talent Singapore?

Anyway, nice move. All those ex colonial judges that fled Hong Kong can also come and apply. The door is now wide open. Their experiences would be much welcome.
