JBJ supporters’ area

Dear Mr. Jeyaretnam,

I agree with your press release of March 23, 2005, “Lee Hsien Loong’s Fairy Tales.

Fascism is defined in Webster’s Dictionary as “a political philosophy movement or regime that exalts nation above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition”

I was born and brought up in Singapore. I know exactly what Singapore is. In Singapore it is impossible to succeed if you are politically conscious and are not prepared to parrot the government line. What happens is that you are identified, your picture is published in the newspaper, and once that is done, everything and everyone takes their cue on how to deal with you from there on. A government permit for this or that becomes difficult or impossible, because the civil servant has seen your picture and name in the paper. Your friends suddenly no longer are your friends. You then also have to deal with the 5th column, where suddenly a rumour goes round that you are insane. If you have a business, your customers no longer come. In other words, you slowly and surely, decline into poverty and oblivion.

Success, forget it.

Take real cases. I practiced law in Singapore for 11 years. Let me tell you what I know. Take Davinder Singh of Drew and Napier. He is praised as one of the best lawyers in Singapore. Personally I do not see anything special in him. There are lawyers much more capable, and especially much more experienced than him. Yet the government makes him a Senior Counsel, Drew and Napier makes him their Chief Executive Officer and he gets all the big government cases. He does pretty well.

He has one quality that others may not have. He is a card carrying member of the Peoples Action Party, a PAP Member of Parliament, and has absolute unshakeable loyalty to Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, his son and the PAP. Singh knows this, the legal fraternity knows this and everyone in Singapore knows this. In any other free country, a self respecting individual would be ashamed of receiving special treatment not because of his ability but because of his connections. I have seen Singh at the trial of Dr. Chee soon Juan in November last. He did not seem to be at the least bothered. I suppose, if Lee asked him to jump, he would ask “how high”?

And what is astonishing Mr. Jeyaretnam is this. Lee and Co intentionally want this message to be understood by Singaporeans. This kind of propping up a PAP supporter with accolades and special consideration is designed to give the Singapore population a message, which is, if you wish to succeed in Singapore, the first and most important qualification is absolute loyalty to the leader, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.

With this kind of a message understood and accepted by Singaporeans, Lee Hsien Loong telling people that merit is the path to success is lying both to himself and the people of Singapore.

This is Fascism, pure and simple. As it was during Mussolini’s Italy.

Dear Mr. Jeyaretnam,

It was a great letter that you wrote on Mr. Boo Suan Ban, who was detained arbitrarily and unjustly at a mental institution by order of a Subordinate Court Judge. The detention was clearly unlawful and done at the whim of the Singapore authorities. It was designed to silence Mr. Boon at any cost and to send a clear signal to all others that criticism or challenging any person in authority may result in one’s detention for an indefinite period in a mental hospital. I used to think that such things only happened in Stalin’s Russia, but what horror, we see it happening in Singapore today.

For those who may be unfamiliar with the events surrounding Mr. Boon, let me say this. Mr. Boon had allegedly (I say allegedly becasue we can never know the truth in Singapore because the press is run by the Singapore government) written some letters to the Singapore Chief Justice demanding some money that was allegedly due to him or to the Bank, by the Chief Justice, where the Chief Justice had formerly worked as a banker. They were both colleagues at that time. Mr. Boon was allegedly ( please exercise the caveat above here as well) accused also of sending letters to others on the Chief Justice’s conduct. He was also alleged to have attempted to throw some letters over the Chief Justices house fence on this matter as regards the alleged money owed to him. For this, the Chief Justice sued him for defamation of character, the most popular means used by the Singapore government to silence their opponents, and for harrassment. Immediately and coincidentally, the Singapore police charged him with the criminal offence of criminal defamation. Now the twist. He was aquitted of the criminal charge but the judge found him to be of unsound mind. A Pyrrhic victory, to say the least for Mr. Boon. He ended up worse of! He ended up in a mental hospital for an indefinite period of detention! The public had no evidence whatsoever of Mr. Boon being of unsound mind. Neither was any evidence produced in court that Mr. Boon was indeed of unsound mind. Mr. Boon here finds himself in a worse situation than an ordinary criminal. A criminal will have a set fixed period of time to serve in jail. Listen to this. Mr Boon was sentenced to an indefinite time to be served in a mental hospital at the pleasure of the President of Singapore! Mr. Boon, not having been found lawfully guilty of any crime, now finds himself in a mental hospital, not knowing wheather or not he will ever be released in his lifetime! And all because he had the audacity of writing some letters and upsetting the Chief Justice of Singapore! Where are we my friends? In North Korea? By the way, I do not know whether such things happen even in North Korea!

And yet, while doing this, the Singapore government, through their ministers such as Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan, has the audacity repeatedly to tell Singaporeans to have the courage to speak up! What nonsense! Courage to end up in a mental hospital! I can say this to Vivian Balakrishnan. If anyone does speak up under these conditions in Singapore, the man does deserve to be in a mental hospital. As any individual with even borderline sanity will never speak up anymore. That is for sure. And you can tell that to Vivian Balakrishnan. And by the way, perhaps Mr. Vivian Balakrishnan himself deserves to be in that mental hospital, for asking people to speak up in Singapore, of all places!

As it is now, the people of Singapore are already terrified of their government. The average Singaporean of today has already been neutralized, silenced, unable to think and act for themselves in matters that concern their daily lives for fear of upsetting Lee and company. There is a blanket of fear throughout that island. Fear of their government, and what it can do to them. This action on the part of this Subordiante Court judge is one more blow to Singaporeans ability ever to take charge of their own lives.

Now, everyone including myself, has to fear, since I have on numerous occassions attacked the policies of Lee and Co and his judicary. The next time I am in Singapore, I may end up in the Singapore mental hospital! If that happens, I hope that you will be around, Mr. Jeyaretnam, to publicise my plight to all the world, in the great work that you are doing to expose the injustice in the Lee administration.

Thank you Mr. Jeyaretnam, and keep up the good work. God be with you and trust He will give you a long and healty life, which you now continue to have.
