Yes, I realize you’re indignant and feel embattled, which I think has clouded not only your deductive reasoning abilities but worse, your judgment.

Fine tooth comb? Forest for the trees? Thinking and analysis from 11 and 15 years ago? You’re stuck in something which has no relevance TODAY!
NOT surprising that thinking changes and the interpretation/spirit of the law had taken a drastic and sudden turn. British Common Law thrives simply because precedence making decisions happen every day! It’s not the letter of the law that matters most, it’s the spirit as continually re-interpreted.
Think same-sex marriage legislation turned around overnight in the US.

I have always followed the spirit of the law and taken my cues from those who create the legislation and explain its intended purposes...

Look-it, TODAY they’ve actually thrown it all in your face and openly signal to you that they’ve changed their mind as to the “spirit” of the law. But instead of “taking your cue” you’re just stewing in righteous indignation based upon your analysis of things eons ago. And it don’t help that you HAVE HAD relative peace for 15 years which instead had thrown you into a state of complacence..... and to a large extent, unwise righteous indignation.

Mr Wong Kan Seng: Sir, there is no need to legalise it but we can at the same time deal with the problem in a pragmatic way.

And this my dear sir, can mean pragmatism FOR any reason – including and probably right now, to divert attention from other more serious problems, pandering to the electorate and even “Heck why not, let’s go for an easy target” which is what you have allowed SBF to now become.

Whores have therefore spilled into the heartlands and beyond causing social problems which are not being dealt with in a satisfactory manner.

And how easy is it to go after the big juicy target that SBF is instead of dealing with the actual problem?
Have your coffee, sit back a bit, think properly and not just keep on lashing back.
I think "they" are probably right now monitoring your present action/reaction to decide on what to do next.
And good luck to you.
