"Ik hoop dat er snel dingen zullen veranderen voor de anderen die misschien nog komen. Die hun leven riskeren om hierheen te komen, op de vlucht voor oorlog en discriminatie op basis van geslacht, ‘ras’ of huidskleur, of die hun land hebben verloren door de klimaatverandering. Zodat zij dit onrecht niet hoeven te zien."

"Afgezien van een enkele witte spreker kwamen alleen mensen van kleur aan het woord, vluchtelingen en migranten die fel en krachtig vanuit hun eigen ervaringen de verschrikkelijke politiek van migratiebeheersing aanklaagden. Want die politiek zet hun levens op het spel, die politiek maakt hen illegaal en leidt tot afwijzing, opsluiting, uitzetting en vervolging."

We just had a five-hour ADR session. ADR is so weird! And so exciting and challenging! It’s like retro-engineering a past performance. It’s an unexpected thrill for the director/editor to be able to make acting adjustments in post. Wild!

Numerous MPs plan to raise questions about this case in the next session of Singapore's Parliament. The Government's answers had better be good.

"[H]er case has prompted questions about inequality and access to justice in Singapore, with many asking how she could have been found guilty in the first place"
