Section 318 of the CrPC prescribes the procedure where the accused does not understand the proceedings. It says that if the accused, though not of unsound mind, cannot be made to understand the proceedings, the trial court may proceed with the inquiry or trial and if it results in a conviction, the proceedings shall be forwarded to the High Court with a report of the circumstances of the case. The High Court then passes thereon (do đó) such an order as it thinks fit.

The most glaring example of the social context in mental disease was the Soviet Union declaring dissidents (phản đối, chống đối) to be suffering from psychiatric disorders (rối loạn tâm thần). Perhaps the Soviet doctors, given their belief in the Communist system really believed such people must be of unsound mind. The fact that you can argue this, even if the reality was they were just excuses for torture, shows how subjective the definition of mental disease can be. There are no bacteria, growths, or lesions (thương tổn) to point to for a diagnosis, only the opinion of the professional within the standards established by the profession.

Race Koh Jun Xian, now 38, was handed a discharge amounting to an acquittal, which means he cannot be charged again with the same offences. The police yesterday said Koh was given a stern (cứng rắn, nghiêm khắc) warning after consultations (sự tra khảo, cố vấn) with the Attorney-General's Chambers. Koh was charged on Nov 20 last year with one count each of criminal trespass (sự phạm tội) and defiling a place of worship with intent to insult a religion, and was ordered to be remanded at the Institute of Mental Health. He was found to have an extensive history of substance use disorder, but was not assessed to be of unsound mind at the time of the offence. The incident happened on Nov 12 last year. The police received a report that the statue in the courtyard of the Catholic church in Upper Serangoon Road had been defaced. The church was closed for renovation works at the time.
