SINGAPORE - From the Michael Fay vandalism case in 1994to the City Harvest Church saga in 2015, the public can relive court cases that have gripped society at a gallery in the new State Courts Towers.
Presiding Judge of the State Courts, Justice See Kee Oon , said the gallery seeks to commemorate the progress the nation has achieved over the years, and the important role played by the State Courts through that journey. This includes the City Harvest Church saga in 2015 which highlighted a gap in the criminal breach of trust law, after the church leaders involved were given lower sentences upon appeal.
Visitors can also observe past court proceedings in a mock courtroom in the gallery. The Heritage Courtroom is equipped with video displays that re-enact three criminal cases that took place in the district courts over different time periods, the most recent one being the 2016 Yang Yin case, where the Chinese tour guide was tried and found guilty of misappropriating $1.1 million from a wealthy widow.
Said Justice See:"The idea is to recreate an atmosphere where visitors would feel as though they have travelled back in time."
