Wow.I can't believe how incredibly bad I flunked the NUS law interview today.
The written test itself was an exercise in futility.
GP cross History cross Social Studies cross WTF.
It was a 3 -page long case study, with large portions being entirely lifted from the law itself.
Eg. Child Abuse and Neglect.
A person is deemed to be guilty of neglecting/abusing a child if the aforementioned person is the legal guardian of this child and if the child is proven to be suffering through acts be it wilfully or unintentionally commited by the legal guardian. The suffering of the child can be defined through unnesscary physical pain or emotional pain or any combination of the above.
Subsection (3)
Neglect includes denying said child access to medical treatment, denying said child access to hygiene facilities....
Ok, this is not a word by word representation, simply the gist of what I can remember. Even the pen felt odd in my hand, probably since I have since grown more comfortable with a weapon in hand since enlisting.
Question:
A parent, due to religious reasons, refuses to allow a child suffering from Leukemia to accept chemotherapy. The parent insteads chooses holistic treatments. Without chemotherapy the child will die within six months. Can the parent be charged under the Singapore Child Abuse Act s.5(2)(c)?
And the interview was no better.
To make things worst, I left the test room in such a funk that I left my 11B(Green IC) on the table realising it. Only whilst waiting for the interview did I realise my 11B missing and I rushed back hurridly to the lecture room to search for it. I reached there just in time to see a Cleaning Auntie pick it up and comment loudy to the other Cleaning Auntie on how strange an IC it was.
I rushed in shouting:" WAIT THAT'S MINE! DON'T THROW IT AWAY!"
All in all. It was NOT. A good interview.
