- HCMA1225/2007
The magistrate erred by asking the appellant why she had not told the police to ask Manager Chan and by relying on her failure to mention Chan as undermining her credibility; that reliance infringed the appellant's right to silence, rendering the conviction unsafe and requiring that the conviction and sentence be set aside and the case remitted for retrial.
