SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Home Affairs will be reviewing several areas of the penalty framework for certain criminal cases including the relevance of an offender’s background in sentencing, said Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam on Tuesday .
The MHA will conduct a review in three areas: the penalties applicable to such cases, the background of an offender and other factors and the extent of their relevance in sentencing, and the relative punishments for different offences. Yin pleaded with the victim not to end the relationship. When the victim refused, Yin banged his head against the wall and remained silent for a while.
During a confrontation, the victim’s stepfather had punched and slapped Yin on his face and burned it with a cigarette butt, a Straits Times report said. The stepfather was issued a warning by the police, it added. Referring to the case, the People’s Action Party Women’s Wing and PAP Women Members of Parliament on Tuesday issued a statement to strongly denounce violence against women.
