In olden times the game was played on chariots or raths and was called Rathera. Playing Kho Kho is a great way for your children to stay active and build their confidence. As the tale narrates, on the 13th day of the war, the Kaurava Guru Dronacharya planned the sole tactics ‘Chakravyuh’, a special military defensive plan broke by Abhimanyu. The first appeal was related to Kho’s murder conviction, the judge reportedly said, at a time when the mandatory death penalty still applied to the charge for which Kho was convicted of. But at that time, the game had no specified rules or boundaries. Kho picked up a fallen tree branch, and used it to hit one of the men, Cao, from behind. Before he was led away, Kho, who was given a chance to speak to his family, told his weeping mother and sister to accept his fate. [80], The case was re-enacted in the year 2020's season of Crimewatch, and it aired as the fifth episode of the show's year 2020 season on 20 September 2020. [1][55] Before his death, Kho Jabing reportedly told his sister Jumai that he wanted her to celebrate her birthday (which is on 20 May). Dodging, feinting and bursts of controlled, speed make this game quite thrilling. Khoo's case was the second case in Singapore's legal history where a person was charged with and tried for murder in the absence of a body (the first was that of Sunny Ang Soo Suan, who was sentenced to death in 1965 for the murder of his barmaid girlfriend during a scuba diving trip, solely based on circumstantial evidence and without the body). A lawyer’s job is to explore, pursue and exhaust his/her client’s legal recourses.
These defenders, or dodgers, try to play out the 7 minutes time, and the chasers who try to dismiss them within that time. Han also shared Choo's Facebook post and thanked "all the lawyers, past and present, who have tried so hard against such massive odds."

On 20 May 2016, at 9 am in the morning, after hearing the appeal, the Court of Appeal once again rejected this appeal, reiterating that the lawyers representing Kho had been rehashing their old arguments made before in the previous appeals. It was on that fateful day, in an unexpected turn of events, when Cui wanted to go to Khoo's workplace, supposedly to expose Khoo's lies, but Khoo intercepted her, taking her to a secluded place near Gardens by the Bay to calm her down. He said that he had wrote to Singapore’s Ambassador to Malaysia on this issue and the federal government will do its best.
The present appearance of the game dates back to World War 1 in 1914. Introduction of Kho-Kho.
[60][61], Rachel Zeng, an anti-death penalty campaigner, reportedly said in an article that the execution of Kho Jabing was an immense shock to her and her fellow activists.
Wong also said, "He (referring to Wang Wenfeng) had every opportunity and the upper hand to stab Yuen the moment he stepped into the rear passenger side of the taxi." It was then during a heated quarrel, Khoo strangled Cui to death, and after he drove aimlessly around Singapore, he went back home with the body, covered in laundry bags, still in the car.

They walked for some distance before spotting two Chinese men walking along a pathway in an open space near Geylang Drive, forming a plan to rob the pair. "It seemed very random, as if the law didn’t take his life seriously at all. [16], In defence, Anand and Tan argued that Kho may have had the intention to rob Cao Ruyin, but before that, he did not bring any weapons or masterminded the robbery of the Chinese nationals. Justice Woo reflected his agreement with Justice Lee's finding of facts through the writings in his own individual dissenting judgement, though he additionally stated that there is some risk relying on Galing's evidence due to the discrepancies in his evidence to the police and on court and that he might be inclined to concoct some of it to deflect blame from himself for Cao's unfortunate death.
