A prison officer has successfully escaped the trials, and was saved from being a convict
himself. He was accused of molestation offense on Friday. Mr Manakum verjam, (above) was suspected to have brush his hands against the breast of a 13-year old student at the Chingay Parade on February 20 last year.
The 53-year-old man settled the matter by apologising to both the student and her parent in court and paid her $20,000. Under the law, the student cannot be named. I find that the case to be unfair as he had to pay $20, 000 for a mere brush. I mean look at it this way.
He has been a prison officer for the past 30 years. His job is mainly disciplining the prisoners and thus he will uphold his integrity. Being a prison officer for 30 years also means that he has gone through a lot of good and bad times.
For goodness sake, he is a 53-year-old man with 3 children. Why would he find trouble just to touch a small, undeveloped breast girl and it's not even a touch, it's just a brush against. I find it stupid when parents go to the extreme such as going to court just to get their 'justice' done. Their 'justice' should be called evil hearted, moneymaking injustice. They used small cases such as these accidents to claim money without even caring about how it affects the other party.
It's a Chingay parade. It's always crowded during this time and there will always be people pushing around to get through. Which also means people will be brushing through each other without any intention. The smart thing to do during this period is to stay home to avoid accidents like this when you know there will be many people walking around. If the 13- year old girl can easily get touched/brushed against, it only means that her parent did not look after her properly, and was probably busy watching the performance thus, anyhow blame people when bad things happen.
Even we all at times brush my hands against other girl’s breast without any bad intention and sometimes it's them who fall on us. So I myself find this case unfair for an old man to pay $20, 000 for a mere case such as brushing against breast. The girl's mum should be more matured and take care of her daughter properly. Going to a crowded place, things of course will happen. I find people like this irresponsible.
This caused injustice to innocent people at times due to their greed for money. Greed can cause harm to people, thus do not be greedy, as you never know whom you might harm unintentionally.
