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...

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. What happens when state agents commit wrongdoing, and the state refuses to admit it, much less to take responsibility, while simultaneously suppresses...
25 February 2022 I have been very troubled by the perjury committed by NUS witnesses in Court which happened during the trial of Suit 667. A lawyer agreed to look at the documents which prove that Lily Kong committed perjury. After looking at the documents, the lawyer, who gave me his advice pro bono (free of charge) agreed with me that the evidence of Lily Kong's own written words in her own email proves that Lily Kong lied in Court and committed perjury. The lawyer suggested that I should make a police report about Lily Kong's perjury, because perjury is a serious crime in Singapore. I recently made the police report on Monday, 14 February 2022. This was just after recent news reports have repeatedly reported how our political leaders have reminded us that perjury is a very serious crime, and that perjurers must be referred to the Public Prosecutor for criminal prosecution. See the police report here: ...
