Features Tania Chin
Tania Chin was mentioned in The Straits Times by Nadine Chua.
The article covered the case of a man who was given a 12-day jail term for trying to give an NEA officer a $10 bribe. The article described how Tania argued for a jail term of less than a week, explaining that her client has a poor command of English and was afraid when he heard the word “police”, as he did not understand why they needed to be called to the scene.
Tania was quoted saying how her client, who was born and raised in Myanmar, associated the police with torture and brutality, driving him to act desperately and impulsively out of fear at the material time.
The article was syndicated on The New Paper on 22 October.
