SINGAPORE : Singapore lawyer M Ravi was charged in court on Monday for disturbing a religious assembly.

The lawyer, who has represented the Singapore Democratic Party in previous civil cases, was allegedly disrupting evening prayers at the Jamae Chulia mosque on August 3 at about 7.30pm.

He is said to have been shouting and interrupting the religious proceeding and when approached by devotees, is alleged to have verbally abused them.

According to the police, this is not the first time the lawyer has behaved this way.

They said he is known to have behaved violently and abusively at places of worship, shops, the Subordinate Courts, and other public areas.

Bail has been set at S$8,000.

Police say behaviour that undermines racial and religious harmony will not be tolerated, especially when the provocative act takes place in a place of worship while prayers are being conducted. - CNA/ms

How convienent hor, to arrest a promiment human rights leader and to also be labelled as “known to have behaved violently and abusively”. “is alleged to have verbally abused them”.

Reminds me of the Gopalan case hor.

Normally, one would let the law decide if they are guilty or not, but after the kangaroo court saga of Dr Chee vs Mr Lee, its very hard for me to trust in our courts to be impartial and not find a innocent man guilty or vice versa.

Personally, I’m going to take a cautious approach to the allegations.
