Angry female blogger lashed out at George Yeo for his “undiplomatic” response to the Jack Neo sex scandals

Author: Written by Our Correspondent
An angry female blogger Petunia Lee who is married with kids has lashed out at Foreign Minister George Yeo for his “undiplomatic” response to the Jack Neo sex scandal.
Mr Yeo is a personal friend of Jack Neo and had known him for over ten years. The latter was embroiled in a series of sex scandals of late after his mistress 22 year old Wendy Chong leaked about his adulterous relationship with her to the press.
Jack Neo gave Mr Yeo a call before the matter was publicized by the media to inform him what happened, prompting him to post an article on his blog calling on Singaporeans to “rally” around Jack Neo and his family:
While Singaporeans do not mind lending support to Jack’s family who are ultimately the victims in the entire saga, they wonder why they should “rally” around Jack Neo who reportedly prey on young women working in his entertainment group in exchange for advancing their careers.
Mr Yeo was further embarrassed by subsequent relevations of Jack’s sexual exploits with 10 other women including a 16 year old girl and a 55 year old transsexual masseur.
Petunia Lee wrote that though it is understandable that George was being kind to his friend, but he has been cruel to the sex victims of Jack:
“George Yeo has been kind to his friend but in doing so… he has been cruel to the TWO (at present count) adolescents preyed upon by Jack Neo….But then, George Yeo has not spared a thought for the 2 young ladies!…..Is kind cruelty better than cruel kindness?”
Mincing no words, she accused George Yeo of perpetuating in a “great injustice” in declaring open support for a “sexual predator”:
“There is great injustice in declaring open support for the Sexual Predator that Jack Neo has been, and probably still is (for a man does not easily change his sexual habits). In effect, Jack Neo used his considerable clout in entertainment circles to lure young ladies into relationships with no honour, nor future.”
Clearly disappointed by the response of George Yeo, Petunia ended her highly charged blog post by asking how a Foreign Minister can be so “undiplomatic” in this matter:
“There should be a jail cell for people who promise to make you a Fann Wong in return for a night of penetration!! At the very least, someone should cut his penis off! Jack Neo’s penis. Not George Yeo. George Yeo should lose his tongue instead. How can a Minister schooled in foreign diplomacy be quite so undiplomatic in this matter?”
There were no immediate comments from George Yeo who has yet to retract his statement of support for Jack Neo or condemn him for his actions.
Can Singaporeans take his silence as tacit support for the “predatory” exploits of his good friend Jack Neo whom he shared a blog with?
PAP ministers and MPs are well known for the utter lack of empathy, sensitivity and common sense and for making the most outrageous faux pases in public after which they will try to wriggle their way out by claiming that they have been “misquoted” by the media as George’s colleague Lim Biow Chuan did earlier.
In George Yeo’s case, he cannot use the same excuse as he has written his “pledge” of support for Jack Neo himself. This time round, he handed the situation by using the last tactic of the “Sun Tze Art of War”.
George Yeo has just flown off to Hong Kong and Shanghai for an official visit today and won’t be back till days later when the storm will probably blow off and hopefully Singaporeans who notoriously famous for their short memories will forget his latest “undiplomatic” PR disaster coming right after the road traffic accident involving a Romanian diplomat to which he replied “what happened is very bad” after two long months.

Georgie had obviously put his thumb in the wrong “pie”.
///At the very least, someone should cut his penis off! Jack Neo’s penis. Not George Yeo. George Yeo should lose his tongue instead. ////
Ouch! And then re-attached by cross transplant surgery. Then GY will literally be able to talk cock.
JN is a sheep with one too many Judas goat.
well said Petunia, Sicko Jacko’s koo koo jiao should be sliced off and cooked in a unique dish comprising Georgia Yoyo’s saliva and maybe Lim Buay-hiow Chuan’s urine, then frozen and stored in the proposed food museum by Baey Yammy Keng.
Folks,folks ! let us not miss the forest for the wood.
There is another angle to this ‘fiasco’ by the good ole Georgie boy.
Let me elaborate.
Assume George indeed consoled Jack & his family ; why the need to make it public?…As if any politician worth his salt would not know the impact and uproar it would thus create !
As a case in point,MIW came publicly to support TT Durai and the public uproar is still afresh.
And in diplomatic circles , feuding countries do talk privately but the press is not privy to it.Do remember George Yeo IS the Foreign Minister …and we do not have to teach him about diplomacy.
So,what gives?
I reckon and speculate that George Yeo’s message is meant for many of PAP’s poster-boys and MIW toddies who has skeletons in their own cupboards…The message could be…That ‘we are behind you and would not abandon’, you sort of thingy.
Why?
Because it was the PAP’s mouthpiece aka SPH that was cleaning TT.Durai & Jack Neo’s dirty linen all over SG…..and it is natural for MIW boot-lickers to wonder why…Perhaps,that could start a chain reaction amongst PAP’s toddies that to back MIW has no rewards.
In short,George Yeo’s sympathy is for public consumption; or rather for the consumption of MIW’s exclusive club.
Petunia Lee is a feminist activist…one who still believes in having the known pro-homosexuality’s AWARE to speak out on Jack’s affairs, so what can we epxect from her except her one-sided biased views.
But I do reckoned and respect that it is her right to do so in her capacity as a feminist activist!
Hmmm….what does George Yeo kids and wife think of their father calling for support to protect a serial sex predator?
Embarrassing moment, this may had a bad effect in his image on the incoming election (George Yeo link-up Jeck Neo)
The General Election issue may be fought on George Yeo integrity, sense of justice, being compassionate, judgement
1)Standing for (victims) lacking in empathy as always
2)Or protecting his buddy friends? (sex-offender)
If this was CNN maybe they could had at least “try to conceal their reporting” on Tiger Woods given how Money-Faced CNN had become lately. Yup, they will ignored such stories to protect their buddy friends
SPH had shown more journalist professionalism
They blew the cover of PAP poster boys
1)T.T Durai
2)Ren-Ci monk which hold a Phd
3)Jack Neo which hold a PMB and Cultural Medallion Awards
Still we believe you need more than 2 media outlet to safeguard our society and better protect our moral values we are responsible for our kids future. That’s why we watch Skynews to counter check BBC and we watch Foxnews to counter check on CNN. In America you need FBI to check on CIA, those guys are scums
Chou – I am not an feminist activist. AWARE refused to support me in this. I wrote to them but they refused to help. I wanted them to because I was not brave enough to do this by myself. But they refused.
Probably like you said, they only care about lesbians? I don’t really care about that.
Are you really sure that George Yeo was “embarrassed by subsequent relevations of Jack’s sexual exploits”???????? What a nice false claim.
Supporting Jack and his family through a crisis does not mean that someone would sympathize with possible victims any less. We don’t necessarily have to take sides by showing support to another??
Anyway I’m sick of TR’s politicizing this whole bullshit and showing biased ignorant views. Does TR think they are as credible as The Straits Times or any possible local media?Hell, no.
At least The Straits Times blinds readers with hidden details in statistics, but while some articles in TR merely twist and turn words that are being said. Fine, it is your opinion to interpret whatever someone says, but not to this extent. I’m not impressed.
Is George Yeo asking Singaporean to rally around an immoral act ??? While we are outsider to Jack Neo’s affair with his mistress, we should not take position to encourage such act that challenge the social core value !!! Our current government is definitely lack of people who can talk sensibly !!!

Dickweed, no one’s forcing you to read these articles. Grow-up punk.
At least TR’s doing their best to broadcast news as they get it, unfiltered, unadulterated – so much more than one could say for the ShitTimes.
Jack neo’s case is nothing to do with AWARE. Don’t drag AWARE in. Those women involved are themselves to be blamed. Because they 爱慕虚荣。 目的达不到就报复。如果是好女人，不会如此厚颜无耻把事件张扬开去！
HAYOO? just curious, why are you here?
George Yeo being “kind” to his friend? Oh please, since when is the PAP being kind to anyone except their own pockets?
It is more like George Yeo jumped in too quick in an attempt to gain impressions as being a nice guy on Jack Neo’s scandal but backfired.
Money has blinded the PAP, they had lost their ability to distinguish right and wrong, hence, the mistake. Many PAPs have made fools out of themselves in the process of trying to look they are one of the masses.
For eg, Letting in millions of foreigners to make GDP and employment rate look good at the expense of people whom they considered disposable and useless = wrong.
Telling the people that casinos will bring jobs to Singaporeans but ended up 90% foreigners took all the jobs instead = wrong.
Supporting an adulterer = wrong.
In order to do the right things, it has to be done from the heart which is something that cannot be taught in Havard or Cambridge.

JN is a amongst the many sheep following blindly one too many Judas goat to the sheep slaughterhouse.
Why hasn’t he retracted his statement which is obviously irresponsible to the vast majority in light of JN’s increasingly shameless deeds? Or, is he showing us that THEY indeed are deaf to all criticism?
Why as a Minister, FM George Yeo dint ask police to ook into the molest of the then 1
Smart politicians should steer clear of commenting on such scandals. GY probably didn’t know the extent of JN’s sexual exploits. Got egg on his face now.
This type of idiot Minister was Elected into Paliament by Aljunied GRC idiot voter
Yes, if need be rally around lah – the children. The adults are irresponsible and selfish.
The victims are the children.
As for the not-so-intellignent George Yeo he seems too muddle-headed and displacing emotions.
He is paid millions in terms of salary and his foremost duty ought to be the welfare of the nation, the people and if he is so conscientious,ethical and principled (????) help lah, extend it to the common people who are in worse situations then JN n his dumb spouse!
Political suicide. GY being a veteran politician should know. But look at it from another perspective, if he’s not a politician, what he is doing is standing by his friends I guess. What I’m not too comfortable about is Mark Lee … announcing the start-up of his own production house now, is, impeccable timing. I don’t agree with what JN did, but face it, what he did is what the Army has always taught “do what you want but don’t get caught”… that Wendy bitch should be the one to crucify really.
The blogger’s reaction is a bit extreme leh.

///George Yeo being “kind” to his friend?///
What is really worrying is the blind support of people of certain religious faith of their follow believers to the detriment of people of different faith. If a person of such high office allows such delusion to cloud his charactor judgement of people in his organisation, who he promotes, who he hires, we are in deep shit.
jack name in chinese sounds like 2 guns.
1 for female, 1 for georgy ~ wanna vomit now.
各位看官：梁智强出事时，李国煌要两巴掌打醒他师父。俗语说得好“一日为师，终身为父”，李国煌真的是大义灭亲吗？！农历新年期间，报章报导说李国煌发花红给他的发廊职员，钞票多得都数不清，而且要漏夜装红包。请问如果没有你师父昔日的栽培，打响你的名号，能有你今时今日的成就吗？！这刚好应验坊间的一句老话“婊子无情，戏子无义“。道义真是荡然无存！
JN an opportunist, preying on young girls…..(who are fit to
be his daughters), should be caned and put behind bars,
for the safety of these adolescents.
As for GY who, without hesitation, came to the defence of JN……. Do they have something in common?……just wondering!!!
/What is really worrying is the blind support of people of certain religious faith of their follow believers to the detriment of people of different faith./
Isn’t that called group interest (supporting own kakis) & we are seeing some crappy ones at that.
Does any now doubt the importance of having opposition parties.
“What is really worrying is the blind support of people of certain religious faith of their follow believers to the detriment of people of different faith.”
kopitiamapek, well put. Is THIS the reason why you keep insisting Reverend Shi Ming Yi is innocent and was framed when all evidence PROVES that he’s guilty, and that he eventually broke down and confessed to his crimes after being confronted by all his self-contradictions in open court?
Nice to know that you’re every bit as hypocritical as the Christian fundamentalists you so obviously hate and frequently stir up hatred against.
I think our government means well. Let’s not be so harsh on them. Everyone makes mistakes. PAP is as good as one can hope for. It’s just that LKY was really so exceptional. LKY and his team could hold power and be ruthless within itself to ensure Party purity… I don’t think anyone can be like LKY.
A system of checks and balances creates a lot of dissension. A one party system is more efficient than a gaggle of parties fighting for power. We wouldn’t be where we are today if we didn’t have a one party system.
But if PAP cannot be strict with itself… then it may be good to have more checks and balances from other parties. I don’t know what to think… I would regret to see PAP lose power. They are a bunch of good people. George Yeo is a good man too…. This is all very unsettling for me.
I think PAP tries its best and really wants to do a good job. Let’s not be too harsh. They merely nursed a snake to their bosom.
Ha ha ha!
I said so many times, probably, very soon I will get into trouble.
PAP offers wealth, fame, and power.
It’s not about the interests of Singapore.
It’s not about the interests of Singaporeans.
It’s about whose interests you are serving.
It’s about millionaire politicians and their rich friends.
George Yeo nearly lost Aljunied GRC last time. He’s going to lose for real this time… if the opposition know how to capitalize on it.
All you residents of Aljunied GRC, especially you self-respecting women enraged at the remarks, know what to do at the polls.
Why need to call to George Yeo?
Because only PAP can control the state media – it’s propaganda machine.
George’s message to the media: “Hey, Jack is our guy, do not touch him.”
Got it?
Ha ha ha!
CHOU- Last time I checked, feminists are looking for equality? I think AWARE is wants to be out of the spotlight considering
all that has happened. I don’t think they only care about lesbians(what’s wrong with caring about that, lol).
Seriously, why didn’t George Yeo wait? When Wendy’s story first came out, it was already suspicious. Foyce just came and confirmed that Jack is a major predator. So, no, George, I won’t rally around a sexual harasser.
petunialee,
Those pioneers already left.
I think that when GY knew about the matter, he probably was not THAT well-informed, and he must have believed that JN was really repenting for his mistakes.
Besides, if JN’s wife was already ready to accept her husband again after knowing about the matter and suffering under the scrutiny of the media, who are we to criticise and place he and his family under such limelight?
The photo serves as good banner for the coming election. Alternative parties will certainly able to swing a vast majority of woman supporters’ votes. The tide is favourable to anti-PAP.
/But if xxx cannot be strict with itself… then it may be good to have more checks and balances from other parties./
Would you be more strict on your own kids than on the other kids if the matters concern fights among them. Let’s be frank, human nature right ?
You don’t hope, you ensure by design. There are plenty of other good people out there and they will bitten very badly if they even try to nurse a snake*, let alone trying to do it on their bosom.
* poisonous one of course.
Anyone with a loving heart will reach out to Jack Neo and his family ….. that does not mean condoning his infidelity but rather to support their healing process as a family. No one wins if the family breaks-up. But Jack has to face up to the consequences of his actions and even any legal actions if he has broken any civil laws.
Are you really sure that George Yeo was “embarrassed by subsequent relevations of Jack’s sexual exploits”???????? What a nice false claim.
Supporting Jack and his family through a crisis does not mean that someone would sympathize with possible victims any less. We don’t necessarily have to take sides by showing support to another??

Dear Petunia,
Do you have any connection to any MIW?
If so, please direct your concerns to that MIW.
If no, please go see your MP. (and your concerns might get stashed away in an old rusty file cabinet)
You guys voted for Pappy, and now you all are “well rewarded”, so no complains.
everyone chipping in to get their 3 min of fame.
TR still twisting GY word for theirs.
Just shut up already
@HAYOO: Well, it’s not TR’s job to leave you ‘impressed’. dont like it? get lost.
TR remember the more time and space you spend on George Yeo and JN, the less time and space on other issues.
And the way you report GY’s comments, shows that not much difference from you and MSM.
Maybe the people in TR covering editing the GY angle want to discredit TR.
While he in MIW, many S’poreans like him.
George Yeo is probably all too happy because he has successfully diverted all your attentions to the Jack Neo scandal from his incompetency on the Romania Envoy’s hit-and-run case.
I personally think this is what he wants because I don’t think he is that stupid to say such things.
We need to consider that Jack Neo has been using his wife as a shield to score sympathy from the public.
We need to consider that Irene has been using her kids as a shield to score sympathy from the public. [Please remember she know what Jack Neo is doing for many years....a wife can accept her husband bonking a girl old enough to be her daughter!].
We need to consider that when Ms. Wendy Chong confronted Irene. Irene behave like it is NOT the 1st time girls/women has come up to her about her husband for his bonking perverted ways for many years!
We need to consider that Jack Neo is always the initiator!. That is how a “sex” predator [please google/yahoo a sex predator behaviour and actions] approach its targets, its manipulations of the girls offering some small roles to act in his films and leveraging his company/public [we pay for his vcds, his films etc] to get “free” physical “benefits” of young impressionable girls!
We have to consider Minister George Yeo and PAP MP Lim support of Jack Neo…this is the chance to tell the general public finally the truth that the PAP is NOT SO WHITE AFTER ALL.
We have to consider his sexual harrassment of Ms. Foyce and Ms Matieau. Teenagers at the time Jack Neo “hit” and touchy feely with them!!
We have to know that Jack Neo uses public funds to finance his films…he is using our money to make more money for himself at our expense!! And his films make fun of us…he think singaporeans in general are stupid and really easy to manipulate and make a fool of.
We have to consider the Pastor from City Harvest who knows what Jack Neo has done to wendy for 2 months…but pastor take no action while the Old Pervert maniac continues to “do in” Wendy Chong in his MPV to save some hotel money and do it on the “free”.
We have to consider how overseas countries and their people will perceive singapore and singaporeans if we allow this sex predator off easily…what kind of signal are we sending overseas! If forgive and forget…how many more sex predators [FT] will decide to make singapore their “new” home!!
We need to consider for many years Jack Neo nagged at Singaporeans and tell us to live right, conform to PAP ideal of a family man etc etc…and when anybody do something wrong, Jack Neo is amongst the first to come out to “nag” or comment or fire the parties who did wrong…and now Jack Neo pleading for forgiveness and we have to let him off?
We need to consider why mark lee and cronies are supporting Jack Neo. Do they have something to hide…many in Jack Neo company can see and know what Jack Neo is doing…but this “self-righteous” Mark lee and cronies did not do anything during their many years there!!!
Finally, we need to consider the real courage of these girls who step forward to expose Jack Neo…whose warning save many more young impressionable girls from falling for this predator tricks and manipulations!
To all the Jack Neo supporters and CH supporters of this sex pervert.
Please go and WATCH the movie “THE BOOK OF ELI!!!”. The movie shows all of us are children of god even though we call god using different names and using different faiths! Only the weak-minded, the powerless, the witless, the cowards and the faithless allow themselves to fall in the thrall of the minions of the un-nameable!!! God give us free will…but its seems some abuse the true “mandate” of god to do evil deeds and manifold sins of evil for the minions of the un-nameable!!!
My 2 cents.

you are probably so unused to reading raw news. u sld thank the gahmen for brainwashing you for the last 46 years.
Georgie endorses molesters by asking the victim to go see MP, approves of manwhores by giving them his support. I love this guy.
the only politicians that spoke out for tigger woods were those who had the same issues e.g. clinton. so maybe GY should commit the same adulterous behaviour and then say, ‘i sympathise with you’…ha ha.
PAP MPs side with their own kind. They would just brush it off,
these MPs only look at their pay packets, and better shut up
their mouths and follow their own flock. Believe me, I got a
taste of it on a personal matter, my socalled MP did not even
have the courtesy to give me a reply after more than a year.
These PAP MPs are only cowards.
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.

Geroge Yeo had gone into “Polictical Hibernation” in Hong Kong, he will only come out after winter. Maybe mid-summer when the coast is clear everyone had forgotten it, gone out to play
What is hibernation?
Dunring winter animals enter hibernation, to conserve energy by going into a deep sleep-like state. Bear, skunks, raccons, hamsters, bets, snake and “Even Politicans” in the world, are known to lower their metabolis and enter a state of torper but they are not asleep. They will emerge from their hiding place during summer time
Make it very simple way of thinking, do Singaporean trust to have someone who doesn’t know how to handle simple things like a FRIEND’S adaultry in public to handle the foreign affair of a country.
Wow, someone is comparing Ah Nan (阿南) to MP Lim Biow Chuan at this blog –

So Ah Nan (阿南) for PAP?
