On the other hand, where the interpretation of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore (1985 Rev. Ed., 1999 Reprint) is concerned, courts remain reluctant to take into account foreign legal materials on the basis that a constitution should primarily be interpreted within its own four walls rather than in the light of analogies from other jurisdictions; and because economic, political, social and other conditions in foreign countries are perceived as different.
Di sisi lain, di mana penafsiran Konstitusi Republik Singapura (1985 Rev. Ed., 1999 Reprint) yang bersangkutan, pengadilan tetap enggan untuk memperhitungkan bahan hukum asing atas dasar bahwa konstitusi terutama harus ditafsirkan dalam empat dinding daripada di cahaya analogi dari yurisdiksi lain; dan karena ekonomi, politik, sosial, dan kondisi lain di negara-negara asing dianggap berbeda.
