Jailed for helping out family

I think most of you have read or heard or seen this news that a boy was jailed because he did not attend National Service. The reason the boy did not attend NS because he was working to support his family. The boy cant pay the RM 600 fine therefore he was sentenced for jail. He works on the padi field to help his family. What kind of judge would do such a thing to this kid. What wrong have he done to deserve that kind of sentence. He did not attend NS because his family need the money. RM150(his salary per month) is worth a lot to his family. I dont know what in the world the judge is thinking.

Maybe to the judge Rm600 is nothing, but to others it is worth a lot. If the person skips NS because he/she is just too damn busy doing other thing like loitering, spending money elsewhere, goes for holiday then I'll understand why we must punish such person with a jail sentence. BUT, to a jail kid who fend for his family is ulter ridiculous and unreasonable.

Please let there be justice! Do onto others as you want them to do onto you.

-too sad for words-

    Yup, poor kid. The reason the judge rules that way, according to our dear TPM, as example, pengajaran to those who wish to escape NS. Poor kid. There's no justice in there. We are becoming the cold-hearted society. If there's a donation to collect just rm600, I'll chip in.
