Gopalan Nair reveals circumstances surrounding JB Jeyaretnam’s conviction in 1985
December 4th, 2009 | 
Author: Written by Our Correspondent
American citizen and former Singaporean Mr Gopalan Nair had revealed the circumstances surrounding the conviction of the late opposition leader J.B. Jeyaretnam in 1985 on his blog – the “Singapore Dissident” as part of his defence against the disciplinary proceedings commenced against him by the Singapore Law Society.
The Singapore Law Society had submitted an application to the Chief Justice accusing Mr Gopalan of bringing “the profession as a whole into disrepute and lowered its esteem in the eyes of the general public” (read article: here)
A two-man disciplinary tribunal has been formed to determine if he is guilty of misconduct “unbefitting” of a lawyer in March next year.
Though Mr Gopalan claimed earlier that he does not care “one way on another what Singapore does” as any action taken against him in Singapore will have no effect on him, he still wrote a spirited defence of himself on his blog.
He also shed light on a case involving Mr Jeyaretnam who was convicted for fraud in 1985 which got him suspended for two years from his law practice.
After he was sued for defamation by then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and was ordered to pay several hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, Mr Jeyaretnam put out a plea to the general public for donations.
He opened a Standard Chartered Account to collect these monies and Mr Gopalan, a member of the Workers’ Party under Mr Jeyaretnam, was appointed the Trustee to receive these funds.
A total of $14,000 or $15,000.00 was received into this account.
Among the donors, there were a couple of people who wanted to donate and had made out checks to the Workers Party, but Mr Jeyaretnam had asked them to make out the check to him instead, since if the check was made out to the party, it would not benefit him since the party had already been would up by the courts.
According to Mr Gopalan’s account, Mr Jeyaretnam was charged with criminal breach of trust for having diverted “funds belonging to the court liquidator to himself” and sentenced to one month in prison which caused him to lose his parliamentary seat and disbarred from the Singapore Bar.
Mr Jeyaretnam subsequently appealed his disbarment to the Privy Council in London which duly reversed the judgment, noting:
“Their Lordships have to record their deep disquiet that by a series of misjudgements, the appellant and his co-accused Wong, have suffered a grievous injustice.
They have been fined, imprisoned and publicly disgraced for offences of which they are not guilty. The appellant, in addition, has been deprived of his seat in Parliament and disqualified for a year from practising his profession.
Their Lordships order restores him to the roll of advocates and solicitors of the Supreme Court of Singapore, but, because of the course taken by the criminal proceedings, their Lordships have no power to right the other wrongs which the appellant and Wong have suffered. Their only prospect of redress, their Lordships understand, will be by way of petition for pardon to the President of the Republic of Singapore.”
[Source: Wikipedia]
(Note: The right of appeal to the Privy Council was abolished by a change in the law the following year.)
Before the English court commenced the proceedings, it sent an invitation to the Attorney-General of Singapore Mr Tan Boon Teck to attend the session who declined to do so.
After Mr Jeyaretnam returned to Singapore , he applied for a “pardon” from the President of Singapore which was denied on the grounds that “the Attorney General of Singapore) was not given an opportunity to be heard before the English Court ” and secondly “JB Jeyaretnam had not shown remorse repentance and contrition for the crimes he had committed”
Mr Gopalan wrote to the Attorney-General asking why he claimed he was not given an opportunity to appear in the English court when he clearly was who replied by calling Mr Gopalan’s letter “scurrilous”.
Mr Gopalan wrote to Mr Tan again threatening to circulate the correspondence between them to all the law firms in Singapore if he still refuse to answer his questions which led to Mr Tan making a report against him to the Law Society.
The charges against Mr Gopalan were that he had “threatened the Attorney General” and that he had made “false accusations against the Attorney General”. He was disciplined and suspended from practice for two years.
Mr Gopalan Nair is a staunch critic of the Singapore government, especially its judiciary. He was sentenced to imprisonment in Singapore for 3 months last year for allegedly insulting a Singapore judge.
Before he was released, he promised the court that he would not repeat the allegations again which he immediately retracted upon leaving Singapore.

The Old Man may have done a lot of good for Singapore in the earlier years, but the more you learn of the dirty tricks he used on his political opponents, the less you like and respect him.
The stained underwear of our dear MM is getting dirtier by the day.
You can bet that Dirty Harry still has more under it.

LKY’s system will unravel before anything gets better.
He does not have time on his side.
Future governments must right the wrong that has been done to patriots who risk their freedom and property to serve the country.
So, my dear “mm robert nugabe lee on fri, 4th dec, 2009,”, all these truths must get to the heads/brains of all the heads-of-states of those countries and, hence, these brunches of idiotic-heads-of-states will not address him as the “legendary-figure-of-asia” without knowing the truths, all bull-shits and nothing else!
it just shows that people in places of authority are misusing their authority all the time. lim boon teck as Ag is a fine example of this malpractise. he chose to ignore the substance of the case.
Do you believe lky can be a saint after he done so much? Politic is dirty. It be more complicated when family are put into the post.
Future goverments must restore the right of final appeal to the Privvy Council in order to avoid doubts of historical precedents and for equity of fairness to prevail henceforth.
smart guy.
He choose his battle ground well.
Outside Singapore, the Lees are useless.
Gopalan smart to chose this battle ground outside Singapore, Y the far Easter Economics did not do that? It a Political Wayang.Buff the Singapore Citizen, that he is a heavy weight.
I think the award grant to LKY outside Singapore is a buff, use money to buy.Junior Bush siad LKY is a world greatest con-man.
Experience has taught me never to trust a double-headed snake. And it’s true.
Many, and I’d safely say the majority, will continue to place our trust and hope on MM. SINGAPORE today (relative to others around the world) speaks!
All evil and bad intend words don’t change. Just look across the causeway and you’ll see the kind of people and leader voted into power. The police detective Bala has told all on you tube and he is still the premier.
God bless you, MM.
foreigner in foreign land ..has no place in singapore politic.
“When you are in a hole, stop digging”
LKY has dug a very big hole
@Deoxin: Thats not true. Once a Singaporean, ALWAYS A SINGAPOREAN.
Gopalan may migrate, but if he really didnt have the heart, why he would he even bother to react to these actions from the Law society?
//deoxin
Victor Hugo escape to England from Napolean 3rd.
That didn’t stop him from criticising the tyran in England.
That didn’t stop him from returning to France in Victory.
His bodies lies in pantheon. I don’t know where Napolean 3rd body is.
I don’t see anything wrong with being away from Lee’s tyranny.
//Aloysius Teo
LKY betrayed his closest ally.
The documents from MI5 shown that.
LKY is a double headed snake.
He can praise lim chin siong and lock the fellow up for no legal reason except to stop him from threating LKY’s power.
//Aloysius Teo
LKY is now betraying those (old) people who voted him by not protecting them and milking their children by letting a large number of ft to come in.
The reason why the late owner of OUB agreed to merge OUB with UOB because he was upset that lky chose to attack his bank when he was sick and proably dying.
This LKY do in spite of the late owner of OUB to LKY’s 1st generation government.
LKY is a real snake.
And a very greedy one.
@deoxin
how about foreigners in singapore who have more privilege?
some smart chaps call them ‘TALENT’,as if our educated locals
who win MATHEMATICS PRIZES at WOLRD competitions and “moot”
courts are idiots?
people would like to go ‘home’ naturally unless they are ‘chased’ out of their house.
if more singaporeans think like you do,i cannot blame the gahmen for wanting to import more “foreign talents”?
@The enlightenment on Fri, 4th Dec 2009 5:39 pm
This Gopalan fellow is someone who determine to bring down PAP in singapore. it has nothing to do with the well being of singapore/singaporean. it is his personal ambition/inspiration.
mind u, JBJ didn’t support his n CSJ’s way of civil dis-obedience, he said it very clearly in a recent interview; yupe, he sympathized a lot with the cult movement, n he doesn’t seem to be bothered that his name has been heavily exploited for civil dis-obedience cult movement. afterall, he’s the poster boy of singapore opposition.
@fpc on Fri, 4th Dec 2009 7:39 pm
..n who is this Hugo guy? what importance did Hugo guy ever do? in fact, what’s the relevance of Hugo in this context? bcoz he migrated then criticized his original homeland, then it’s okay for everyone to do that? ..or that we should follow this Hugo guy’s path n use him as role model?
do u really think criticizing Napoleon 3rd worth a mention in history? i think even the Napoleon 3rd himself doesnt worth a paragraph in history textbook.
so funny for u to quote an unknown as a comparison.
@ deoxin on Fri, 4th Dec 2009 2:26 pm
“foreigner in foreign land ..has no place in singapore politic.”????
Really???
So you better go back to your hermit’s kingdom residing in a stone age cave, eat with your hand and clean your behind with your hand too – no one will hear about you, talk about you or talk to you.
Withdraw from UN, cut Malaysia’s water supply and all socio-political and economic link with the rest of the world?
BUT SORRY, YOU DON’T OWN THIS COUNTRY. The rest of us allow free speech and do all business with anyone who wants to or interested in relating to us!
@Democracy rising on Fri, 4th Dec 2009 8:57 pm
Huh???
Why the outrage? [deoxin on Fri, 4th Dec 2009 2:26 pm] is just exercising his freedom of speech over here wah…
I’m not a pro-PAP individual and personally – the sooner LKY kicks the bucket, the better – but I do NOT lambasted people like “deoxin” from expressing their opinions (even when I do NOT agree with his views) — that’s called civil MATURITY — Something that’s seemingly lacking in local forums.
If your heart is not “big” enough to accept differing viewpoints – then please leave this community – before you “contaminate” the standard of this forum.
Thank You.
sad to read that. the rot is deeper than first thot.
time to act. tick that RIGHT box. do it for your children, if not your future.

What’s your credential & credibilty?
Don’t hide behind some acroynym and talk shit. Come show yourself up. You’re a COWARD. No bxxls??
We all know where & how we fare and atand amongst the nations of the world. We shd rightly have 2 mega banks not 3 to face the global challenge. Economies of scale you blockhead!
“Snake”? MM shows himself and is prepared to face his critics & adversaries openly. You are the real snake hiding behind the blog.
Yes?

“Outside Singapore, the Lees are useless.”
“useless”?? You mean you yourself?
Fortunately readers read. The world invites him to lecture and many leaders around the world pay to listen to MM from the US to China . .
Please lah. Stop insulting people’s intelligence. Why don’t you try giving a talk at Hong Lim and see if anyone want to hear you out (maybe the hungry ghosts will listen). Don’t be shy prove it.
Laugh out LOUD!
Aloysius Teo on Fri, 4th Dec 2009 10:38 pm
“Economies of scale you blockhead!”????
Really, did you learnt that in your kindergarten economics? Ask the South Korean how they overtook the Japanese who was the powerhouse in shipbuilding industry – the Koreans started with 1 ship when they started out. You never heard of horizontal drilling in “uneconomic” oil reserviors previously plugged and abandoned and bring these into production?
You are a genius in the textbook world, so you cannot understand how Japanese and Korean car manufacturers is causing a wreckage in US auto industry – starting from no economies of scale.
WHAT A MORON IN THE REAL WORLD – Aloysius Teo, but congratulations for displaying your outstanding ignorance here of even competent observations here, no need for any industry knowledge of auto or petroleum exploration business.
And this one
“. You’re a COWARD. No bxxls??”
I wonder if your basketballs is bigger than everyone’s else ping pong balls. Pull down your pants and let us admire for comparison, how about that, stupid!
And calling another blogger here such endearing term
“You are the real snake hiding behind the blog.”???
Are you sure your hairless caterpillar inside behind your zip is still alive and wriggling? Little tweed on the block or blogg?
Tony Pang on Fri, 4th Dec 2009 10:07 pm
Who says it is my outrage?
It is freedom of speech IN THE WHOLE WORLD – that is my point.
And you???
Do you need to confess whether you are pro-PAP individual to me? Do you think that is of interest to me or relevant to FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
If you are pro-PAP, so what to anyone in this debating forum???
Guilty defensive mind? No need for that!
You speak yours, I speak mine. Satisfied? You idiot!
@Anonymous
your comments seem reasonable to me.
the guy who so righteuosly shout so loud about “economy of scale” should really go the ISTANA and shout all the louder?!!!
what with MM,SMs and Ms WITH NO PORTFolio?
some guys just want to please by barking up the wrong trees?
fair and square on Sat, 5th Dec 2009 12:20 am
Yes, some are fanatics and crazy to ridiculous.
They bark WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THEY DON’T KNOW A THING ABOUT THE RELEVANT SUBJECT-MATTER OF THEIR POST. OR ARE THEY JUST TROLLING to disrupt the thoughts flow of a serious rigorous debate?.
And when challenged of substance, they feel offended! Or spin rubbish even more rubbish.
WTF !! I don’t care about feelings. Anyone not good enough and feel offended can get off the blog.
I kick butts!
“Fortunately readers read. The world invites him to lecture and many leaders around the world pay to listen to MM from the US to China . .”
Please lah. YOu think the world is very interested in the Lee if not the fact that those country hope to get dumb money from the Lee whenever he give the speech ? Everyone knows that if Lee step in the country, there is a chance to get millions of investment of taxmoney. Now, tell me, which GLC ever make money outside SinCity ? SIA ? Don’t kid me on that ? Now SIA desperate due to falling profit. Besides SIA, which one ? OR Sing Tech, the GLC ban by India due to bidding and tendering corruption ?

Compared to betraying his comrades like lim chin siong as revealed by the mi5 reports, what i did is nothing.
at least i didn’t imprison people against their will for 20 years for nothing.
I am just telling the truth.
also, if i am caught red handed doing this kind of shit, I won’t be as thick skinned as lky going around giving people (singaporeans at least) moral lessons.
LKY is fucking thick skinned.
Taiwan, korea and hk didn’t need to do that, they are making monies as well.
as for needing 2 banks? because of economies of scale?
how is that when the share price of uob is doing a lot better than your govt banks.
maybe we should only have 1 bank i.e. uob. hahaha
because they know what they are doing.
I didn’t even want to bring up consumer choices and price constraints on the banks with competition.
citibank is damn big too before the crisis but now? economies of scale? my foot.
this is not a manufacturing firm. it is a bank.
go learn from uob before you going telling people how to run a bank.

I am just telling the truth. as if lky is credible. tell him to teach mbt how to run hdb like lim kin san so that it won’t lose monies and build flats that people want and whose value increase year on year despite being build using materials in the 60s.
he probably can’t because he spent his time killing off his potential opponents instead of understand what lim kin san is doing.
he was lucky to get a capable guy.

yeah he is only prepared to face his critics in the singaporean courtroom which he controls.
how convenient?
Has he won any cases overseas?
Don’t see the big deal about this post other than a “Just for your information” tag.
Dirty politics -> what’s new about that? Almost all countries play dirty politics -> a politician who plays by the rules is either (A) a complete dimwit or (B) a naive “lamb” that’s all ready to be slaughtered in the abattoir.
Find me a Clean and Just politician – and – I will find you a REAL Jesus the Messiah —-> Its just not there…. inexistent, period.
Gopalan Nair lost to LKY — it’s THAT simple. True, the playing field was rigged in favour to “the-old-man-who-just-will-NOT-die”. Battle is over, LKY lives for another day (*sob*) in his little “kingdom” (Singapore) and Gopalan run far far away and start kissing ang moh Americans’ assess…..
Both will NOT give up and continue taking CHEAP shots at one another.
LKY, we all can understand, leopards can never change its spots – some people are born low and despicable (maybe it’s the upbringing, environment or even genetics…. who knows?).
BUT Gopalan?!?!?!?
To stoop to LKY’s level and return another CHEAP shot — now that speaks VOLUMES of this man.
Let’s just say I’m glad that Gopalan is NO LONGER a SINGAPOREAN.
*GOD BLESS SINGAPORE*

So much cursing, swearing and insult. Thats the standard of the TR board nowadays and thats a fact.
When Singaporeans deny their roots and claim allegiance to another their comments should be taken with not only a pinch but bucketful of salt.
JBJ was is and died a true Singaporean so did Dr. Lee Siew Choh and David Marshall they may disagree with LKY & PAP but they stood their ground and fought for their IDEALS” A truly Democratic and caring Society “till the day they expired.
They don’t run and throw stones and shoot missiles from afar and leaving the fight good or bad to TRUE SINGAPREANS to face the MUSIC.

which more aptly describe all your hermit thoughts of pendulum swings of no reliability of substance in your posting on TR.
http://presodent.com/di/Dioxin.html
The US Government list Dioxin as a carcinogen.
Surely it is not hard for you to change the “deo” of your moniker to “dio” since you are so GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD of spinnnnnnnnnnnning ficccccccccctioooooonnnnnnnnnnnn for the real thing of your ignorance and hoaxes thoroughly mixed up.
If that is hard to do of your limited intelligence, try change your moniker to thallium

HAVE YOU GOT WHAT YOU ASKED FOR NOW, DEOXIN?????
Democracy rising is nice, but he might run out of ideas soon of “charity”. SORRY!!!
/janetnt
the opposition lost because they don’t have enough time to prepare.
How to prepare when you are always risking being bankrupted.
//janetnt
evidence:
when the team that contested against the LHL is not under any threat of bankrupy, they even managed to garther enough votes to pull the weak PM ’s votes down below pap’s average.
Low TH and Chiam never lost because they never got them sued by PAP.
All those that lost big time, had laws suits thrown at them at one point or another.
For example James Gomez.
Bankrupting opposition and sueing them is a lot cheaper than thinking of good policies and argueing them to stay in power.
Pigs in parliament are cheap.

I definitely don’t want MPs who pushes blame away and don’t do work when they are paid so much monies.
These people are more despicable than those whose command of dialect is superior to English.
An MP’s job inside the INCUMBENT’s Folds is very much a Part-Time one… So why are they paid more than $20 THOUSAND a month to mostly “meet the people” once a week while hodling other HIGH-CLASS “Top-Dog jobs?… How is this JUSTIFIED HAH???…
As unlike in an Opposition Ward in this unfair and totally LOPSIDED Poltical System… which incumbent MPs has got to work quadruple as hard as an OPPOSITION MP???

HAHA.
//But just to nail your question. In fact, MM did take up a case against a Malaysian tabloid a few years ago for libel. He won the case or the case was settled out of court in his favor. Check handsard please.
Thank you again for the litigious behavior of LKY and he clearly picks his victims – a poor Malaysian Tabloid who cannot afford to go through the lengthy courtroom battle with him. If he thinks he is right, why not go all the way and bankrupt the tabloid like the way he bankrupted people in Singapore even wives who have never worked before.
When he knows he needs monies, he would sue the richer papers in Singaporean court where he could ask for the maximum payment.

# From here we know you’re an outsider/foreigner. Why? No one would want or dare to use such filth on our beloved MM; not to mention that the thread can be easily be traced.
Thank you for reminding me that this can be easily traced.
Despite that LKY is still fucking thick skinned I have to say.
And yes, I am one of those imported Chinese brags who dared to jeer at him when lky pretends to know all in the American media.
I don’t apologize because what I say is true and LKY made s’poreans suffer by giving special privileges to us Chinese.
And yes, he surprises. he manages to screw so many Singaporeans and still there are idiots like you who would defend him.
Even TH needs to borrow monies from the public now. Look at what he has done.
That I don’t know how he pull it off.
I don’t complain… we manage to make monies out of you and still get to criticize him.

Following the threads, I suspect that this “fpc” is none other than “Gopalan Nair” i.e. his own clone.
He’s residing out of Singapore. Claims to be a China Chinese and reprimanding the government for giving so much to his kind. Very interesting.
His replies are somewhat off-tangent like “the free world don’t like LKY”. Hardly so right?, considering the accolades and grand receptions he receives whenever he gets invited to the free world or even China. In fact it makes other leaders jealous if you didn’t know accorded to this tiny weeny red dot. It’s all over the local as well as international media such reporting. What about the international awards bestowed upon him? Any for you? Come come grow up lah.
“in the singaporean courtroom” – Malaysia isn’t right?
You can do better right than spew half-truths and venom from outside S’pore Mr Go Pal. Bloggers are not that gullible. We are all EDUCATED too.
“His replies are somewhat off-tangent like “the free world don’t like LKY”. Hardly so right”
I didn’t say that.
I only deduce it from what “Aloysius Teo” said.
But I also don’t believe LKY is that great.
As I said before, those awards, in many parts were gotten before the world knew about how he conspire with the brits to kill off his opposition.
The recent ones are obvious: with the kind of monies he dumped into the western world – their banks etc, the only thing the Americans can do is to give him a trophy that is worth 200 dollars?!
He didn’t win the nobel prize for peace btw.
It is his technique of winning awards aboard to justify his lousy reign in Singapore.
The fact remains:
The south Koreans, the Chinese, The Hkers, the Taiwanese didn’t need LKY but they are still prosperous.
They Fu*k and have children more than us.
They are just as well traveled.
Go and count the number of students from these places and you get an idea.
And worst of all, he locked people up for 20 years just because he needs to save face.
Which sage leader will do this kind of things?
That’s why all the American awards are misplaced and it shows that America is bankrupt morally. No surprise they have to go around the world to borrow monies.
I don’t need to pretend.
I am Chinese and I dare declare it.
And I am stating the truth just like MS Zhang.
Singaporeans are being screwed by LKY’s policy of saving his own hide at the expense of ordinary s’poreans.
He screwed up the investment portfolio of GIC and he had to cover it up.
Imagine a falling house price.
It hurts his pigs @ parliament a lot more than ordinary folks since we only have either 1 place to live or no place to live already.
Yeo CT is the 1st casualty.
The rest will fall through the same trap.
//In fact it makes other leaders jealous if you didn’t know accorded to this tiny weeny red dot.
This I don’t know.
How do you know?
//It’s all over the local as well as international media such reporting.
I don’t know about that too.
Have you counted?
I didn’t see it on FT or CNN.
The Chinese are probably hoping that he would throw in a million or two by being nice to him and tolerating his horrible mandarin.
a 200 dollar trophy for a million investment or donation?
Why not?
I would give him the Emperor’s clothes if he dare to wear if he donate a couple of hundred of millions.
Since when has GIC made money after Goh KS left?

“We are all EDUCATED too” AFTER these imaginative fictional thoughts..”I suspect that this “fpc” is none other than “Gopalan Nair” i.e. his own clone”???
You mean “EDUCATED” ones clone truth out of “suspicion”?
I think it is the moronic ones that do that but they are good in rimming Pappies ar$eholes in pyschophantic behavior.
Now THAT is certainty, looking at the lack of substance in your post. No speculation nor suspicion needed!
The reason why HDB prices and all other private housing prices are made to stay so high is because all the pigs are over-invested in property and a slight drop would kill these jokers like the way Yeo CT was destroyed.
the pigs cannot put up with that possibility.
Do you think they care if you are stuck in the MRT with all the other FTs?
Tan kl has been telling people to buy TH’s bonds.
Please do not listen to him.
The return of 4% is very low and would increase more than that in the near future (as Tan KL had said).
Buying the bonds now would hurt you when the bond decrease in value after interest rate rise.
Also, with TH’s performance in investment, I don’t think it is worth while.
So what if it is granted AAA grade, for an investment of that duration (>10 years), it is very easy to downgrade to c grade and about half of aaa grade do so. (Federal reserve).
Please don’t burn your monies.
I don’t know why TKL is doing this.
I think he has switched sides.

Same thing, don’t listen to his comments on CPF life.
if you had 60K in CPF retirement account, put your monies else where. In Foreign currencies or govt bonds.
Don’t lock it up in CPF life.
I think he has switched sides.
