However there is a tinge of political immaturity in the conclusion:

As we can see from above, the authors of “Men in White” have committed a grave injustice against both Mr Yoong Siew Wah and Mr Francis Seow in their book by insinuating that they had “conspired” to sack four detectives investigating a case involving Mr Seow’s friend.

The three authors of “Men in White” must issue a public apology without delay to both men and rectify their horrendous error immediately.

I am living overseas where political debate is open and I have read many a discourse between politicians. Hence these words stuck out like sore thumbs to me. Just my 2 cents. Otherwise a great effort on your article.

singapore’s leaders, on the other hand, are simply too arrogant. worse, they point the finger at a smaller person to take the rap.

so, waiting for a formal apology from anyone from the PAP (oops, i mean, the govt) is like waiting for a cow to sprout wings and fly.

singaporeans should take note of this. the govt works for its people, not the other way around.

Why did Tan Boon Teik intervened and what is the nature of relationship between him and the four detectives?

Who are the four detectives and why were FOUR detectives sent to investigate a petty crime? What role/ position were they given in the civil service after their CID sting?

The interview raised more questions than giving answers. Purely speculative but did the detectives took the coat as evidence to leverage against Francis Seow? Why and when did Francis Seow relationship with the PAP soured?

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to entitle your piece “Interview with a Vampire”, no?

Have you forgotten that this is an ISD chieftain whose ISD career neatly straddled the period between Operation Coldstore (1963) and Operation Spectrum (aka a Catholic Marxist Plot!!, 1987)? He cannot have been unaware that his business specialised in the incarceration, torture, and merciless destruction of the lives of 1000s of innocent Singaporeans directly and indirectly on his master LKY’s sick orders.

Miss Teo Soh Lung, ISD detainee for 2½ years:

“During interrogation, I was verbally abused, slapped, made to stand for hours on end in the cold room with spotlights shining into my eyes and sit on a 3-legged chair, – i.e. one leg was shorter than the other three so that a prisoner cannot sit and sleep and thus deprived of sleep for days!”…..

Did he during his time at the helm express any dismay at what he was called upon to do? Has he at any point then or since ever expressed the slightest degree of remorse for his actions?

The answer is quite simply no, Yoong’s career and personal well-being mattered far more to him than the misery of his fellow citizens. No one ever became Director of ISD by being Mr. Nice Guy.

Now in his dotage and still collecting a nice fat pension, thank you all very much, Yoong has the gall to publicly whinge about his precious reputation being dragged through the mud by a crap propaganda book of worshipful garmen lies. Oh dear, poor, poor baby, our hearts truly bleed for you. Sympathy? Nah, no sympathy for the devil.

I say serve you damn well right dude, (a) for the evil company that you willingly chose to keep and (b) for the poetic justice that you’re now getting sodomised by the one you loved.

i call up singnet and was asked to change the proxy setting to a manual proxy from singnet (original setting:no proxy used)

i can now access TR directly w/o vtunnel

Can you do us a small favor?

Please help us call up the Singnet technical hotline and find out why the site is inaccessible.

if ex detainees could also contribute as guest columnists, the symbolic gesture alone (ex isd director ,and not forgetting ex isd tay, plus ex detainees) would be quite powerful.
