In Singapore you don't have a right to a lawyer when questioned by police (you can have one after a statement is made). If you don't answer police questions or don't sight a statement, that can be used against you in court as proof of guilt.

Is there a history or precedent for this in Common Law? Or Chinese law? What’s the origin of this idea?
