In Singapore, the rigor and rules of the rule of law are undoubtedly one of the core power of urban operation.Whether it is the maintenance of public order, the implementation of traffic rules, or the norms of social behavior, Singapore is recognized as a country that strictly abides by the law.In daily life, this strict execution often shows the clearness and strict punishment.We are nicknamed "FINE" (fine/good) country, not only because of the improvement of legal systems, the regulations are clear, but also because the offenders will face fines.However, behind the harshness, occasionally a trace of tenderness makes people feel the humanized glory under the law, and the law is not always cold and ruthless.
Not long ago, I received a letter of violations from the Traffic Management Bureau from the Land Transport Authority, which made me a little surprised me who was rarely drove.Although I am the owner of the family, I usually hand over the "driver" at home.However, check the notification letter carefully and find that the time that the occurrence of violations is the day when the "driver" is on a business trip, and realized that the traffic violation of that day was caused by my negligence.
The content of the letter is very detailed, and the illegal time, place, and specific behavior are clearly listed. It turned out that I was parking near the Twin Huang Line of the Temporary and taxi waiting areas in the temporary stop. It should be fined according to the rules.
It was unexpected that the letter did not issue a ticket in the letter. Instead, it was based on my good driving record exempted fines, and only reminded me to abide by the traffic rules in the future.This tender letter made me feel that although Singapore is famous for strict laws and strict law enforcement, there are still gentle considerations and humanized treatment in the implementation of the rules.This "affection outside the law" not only moved me, but also made me re -think of the humanity in the legal system.
Singapore's legal system is famous for its meticulous rules, which does play a key role in maintaining social order.As an international metropolis, Singapore's social management level can maintain efficiency, and the persistence of the rule of law is undoubtedly one of the important reasons.Whether it is the punishment of littering in the field of public health or the fines of the fines in traffic management, in fact, in the long -term implementation, cultivating citizens' good behavior habits and the awareness of the rule of law.
However, the rule of law does not mean rigid execution.In daily life, special considerations often need special considerations.The letter of the Land Communications Bureau reflects this flexibility.
Although from the perspective of monitoring records, I was indeed waiting for the double yellow line area where parking was not allowed, but the actual situation was rainy night, and there were no other vehicles at the time.Such a situation does not cause substantial harm to public order or traffic safety.
In this case, if law enforcement officers are strictly implemented in accordance with the provisions and issued a ticket, although it meets the regulations, the "illegal" in this special situation is obviously unfair.Positive or because of the actual situation of law enforcement officers, the decision to exempt the fine, find a balance between the judgment of the case, greatly enhance the public's trust in the rule of law, and pay more attention to the good image of maintaining the individual's integrity.
My experience this time is undoubtedly a kind of humanity under the rule of law.We often only see the cold and unable to challenge, but in fact, the real role of the law is not blind punishment, but at the same time as standard behavior, it also reflects the care of people.The Land Communications Bureau fully reflects this when dealing with traffic violations.
Strict law enforcement and the tolerance of human nature are not the existence of opposition.The concept and approach of "affection outside the Fa" can not only enhance the public's trust in the law, but also make us feel the temperature in social management.It is this kind of tenderness that makes Singapore's rule of law society more harmonious and dear.
