Dr. Chee Soon Juan was declared a bankrupt after failing to pay $500,000 in libel damages awarded to Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Chok Tong.
In Feb 2006, Dr. CSJ was charged with contempt of court for a statement he made at the above bankruptcy hearing in which he stated that the judiciary is not independent and fair, especially in cases involving opposition politicians.
On 17 Mar 2006, he was sentenced to jail for 8 days after refusing to pay his fines of $6,000.
Dr CSJ should not be in jail at all.
