SINGAPORE: An office-bearer of the Law Society of Singapore has sparked an online backlash on LinkedIn following a post on the criminal case of a former Wah!Banana actor convicted of sexual assault. 

Lawyer Chia Boon Teck, the vice-president of the Law Society, commented on the high-profile case involving Lev Panfilov in a social media post over the weekend, but his words have drawn criticism from the legal fraternity, with lawyers describing his comments as victim-shaming.
