The f*ucking Family Court has been known to abuse its powers to force the defaulters to pay up.

This is a real life incident that happened to someone I knew. He had fallen behind on his maintenance payments and the ex-wife went to lodge a complaint to the Courts.

A Warrant was issued for his arrest and he was picked up just after lunch from his office while he was in a meeting... brought to Queenstown Remand Prison where he had to surrender all his belongings and spend the night there in prison attire. Those of you who had visited the prison would know that the prison garb worn by the remand detainees are just a thin pyjama top and pants with no underwear.

The next morning he was transported to the Sub-Court in Havelock road from the Remand Prison in Queenstown still attired in his prison garb without any personal belongings which were all still at Queenstown.
At the Courts, he was released after he agreed to have his maintenance arrears be deducted from his company's salary.

The problem now is the prison guards refused to convey him back to Queenstown Remand prison as they claim he has been freed and has to go to QRP on his own to retrieve his personal belongings.

Imagine being in the centre of town in thin translucent prison garb that expose your near nudity and not having a single cent to even make a phone call or take any transport back to QRP to retrieve your clothes and belongings. This was blatantly an attempt by the Courts to purposely humiliate, embarass and inconvenience the poor guy for his failure to pay up.

So wise up guys...... dun ever fall for the bullshit by the garment and get married in Singapore. The Women's Charter will screw you up sooner or later.
