Their teachers are not disheartened by such a reaction for it reveals a manner of study essential to the proper interpretation of a statute frozen in time in the face of the evolving common law. Some of the challenges may be exemplified by the following questions: What is the relationship between the Act and common law principles established after its enactment? Does the common law apply if the Act does not cover an evidential issue? What if a section does have some bearing on the evidential issue but appears incomplete or imprecise in the face of a related common law principle? What if the Act recognises part of a common law doctrine which has since been developed beyond the scope of the Act. What if a common law principle is not consistent with the pertinent sections of the Act but could operate in the context of another section which is not literally pertinent.
  • Singapore Females

    Singapore Females

    The women executed in Singapore 1973 to 2004. “I am sending you to a better place than this.” With these words Darshan Singh, Singapore’s hangman throughout this period would release the trap doors of the gallows in Changi prison, plummeting the condemned to their death. 16 women would hear these fateful words and their stories are told below. Seven were to hang for murder and nine for drug trafficking. In April 1978 The Straits Times newspaper gained access to death row and described it as follows: 24 cells are arranged in a horse-shoe pattern around a central exercise yard. This has a mesh roof to prevent attempts at helicopter rescue. Condemned inmates are supervised constantly. During their last week inmates are allowed daily visits from family and friends. These are limited to 30 minutes and are no contact, the inmate sits a metre away behind two mesh screens. A last meal can be requested. Condemned inmates wear white uniforms (scrubs). Around 5 a.m. on the Friday of their execution the inmate dresses in prison uniform. A priest will perform the last rites and then the inmate’s wrists are handcuffed behind their backs and black hoods drawn over their heads. They are then led the 20 metres to the execution chamber where they ascend a few steps onto the gallows. In the room are the prison’s Superintendent, his assistant, another senior officer, the prison doctor and the State Coroner. At 6.00 a.m. the hangman pushes the lever to release the trap doors. Death is confirmed by the doctor and the Coroner certifies that death was by judicial hanging.
