Here are some rather alarming and self-serving remarks from Han Hui Hui at her trial.
Extracted from Yahoo News:
The performance by the Y-Stars, who are made up of special needs individuals, had to be stopped and restarted because the performers could not hear the start of the music, the court was told.
The witness, whose son was also performing as part of the Y-Stars, said those with special needs were easily frightened by loud noises.
She also told the court that performances such as the one at Hong Lim Park were important events not just for the performers, but also their parents and caregivers.
When asked by Han why she had allowed her son to perform during a protest, the witness told the court she had believed Han’s group would have stopped for the performers to carry out their routine.
Han, who was representing herself, also asked the witness if she had wondered if the performer crying after a year was because “she realised she was being made use of by the PAP government”, to which the witness replied "No."
Another witness, whose daughter also took part at the YMCA event, said the Y-Stars performers were very quiet after the incident that day, when they were usually “very happy” following a routine.
When Han asked her if she thought the YMCA did a good job with the event, the witness compared it to a wedding where someone brought a coffin around.
“Would you be happy?” the witness replied.
