Yong Vui Kong v Attorney-General (disclosure)
[2011] 2 SLR 1189; [2011] SGCA 9
Key Principle
The clemency power under Article 22P of the Constitution is exercised by the President acting on Cabinet's advice (the President having no personal discretion), and the clemency process is amenable to judicial review only to the limited extent of ensuring that a decision was made in accordance with Article 22P (e.g. free from breach of natural justice or bad faith), not on its merits.
