Lee Hsien Loong’s PAP Regime is “Rotting” According to the Reasoning of Heng Swee Keat

-
1 December 2023 What do I mean when I say that Lee Hsien Loong’s PAP regime is “rotting” ? I have been asked what I meant by the word “rot” when I wrote that Lee Hsien Loong’s PAP regime is “rotting.” Lee Hsien Loong’s PAP regime is “rotting” in the sense in which Heng Swee Keat used the words “rotting” and “rot” during a  speech in Parliament on 13 February 2015 , when Heng Swee Keat said that “ the Town Council is rotting. And the rot is serious. … the Workers’ Party has betrayed the people’s trust. The pattern of behaviour; the consistent pattern of denial, deflection and protection of the Managing Agent which suggests a serious rot is happening. ”   Today, Lee Hsien Loong’s PAP regime is clearly “ rotting ” and “ the rot is serious ” and the PAP regime “ has betrayed the people’s trust ” with a “ pattern of behaviour ” that includes a “ consistent pattern of denial, deflection and protection ” by Lee Hsien Loong’s PAP regime and Lee Hsien Loong’s Attorney-General, in...

CIVICUS Monitor has recognised my struggle for justice and accountability in its 2024 country report on Singapore .  Not only does my whistleblowing and the state-backed campaign of retaliation against me highlight academic misconduct, systemic institutional cover-ups, and the abuse of power by establishment elites under Lawrence Wong ' s PAP regime, it also underscores the importance of protecting whistleblowers and fostering a culture of transparency and accountability within public institutions. The concept of a “ restrict[ive] civic space ” often evokes images of dissidents or critics being actively persecuted by authoritarian regimes. However, the definition of “a dissident” should extend beyond those who are the targets of overt acts of repression. The “ state policy of silencing dissent ” can also manifest in more subtle ways.

A 5-year Legal Battle with NUS

My name is Jeanne Ten. I am a Singaporean. My life has been utterly destroyed by the National University of Singapore (NUS). In 2012, I began a long drawn-out legal battle with NUS regarding the wrongful denial of my MA degree (by Research) in 2006. My trial will begin next month on 1 August 2017. To date, I have already spent more than $100,000 in fees. I have exhausted all my savings. I have no choice but to resort to crowdfunding the legal fees. I hope Singaporeans can extend a hand, no matter how small the amount, to uphold justice. (July 2017) Photo Credit: Grace Baey   18 July 2017 Here’s my encounter I started my MA programme at the National University of Singapore (NUS) in January 2002, and I completed my MA thesis in February 2005. NUS passed my MA thesis in 2006 and even sent me the letter for the commencement ceremony. However, several months later, NUS imposed a new requirement for me to graduate – a written undertaking to accept the university’s decisions ...
