4th Day of Trial

4 August 2017  
(Posted on 6 August 2017)

Thank you to all who came to Court in the past 4 days and to those who wrote to me to show your support. Thank you to all the donors who made the hearing possible.

The trial started on 1 August and ran to 4 August. The hearing will resume on 21 August 2017. This is to say that the 5th day of trial will be on 21 August 2017.

Earlier on, I stated that the trial dates were 1-4 August, then 18 August, then 21 August. The 18 August trial date is now cancelled, so the next hearing is on 21 August (morning only).

I am waiting for confirmation of the exact dates of the remaining days of trial for the 5th and 6th day of trial. In any case, the next trial date is confirmed on 21 August 2017.

Furthermore, I may need extra days for the trial. As matters stand, by the end of the 4th day, we are still at the stage of cross-examining the 1st of 6 NUS witnesses.

I had to be at the witness stand this morning for the last few issues to be cleared in cross-examination and re-examination. I was released from the witness stand at around 10.30 am.

What a demanding, stressful, three days and nights! But I survived.

Professor Lily Kong on the witness stand

Professor Lily Kong is the 1st of NUS' 6 witnesses. She took to the witness stand before 11 am and testified until the Court adjourned for lunch around 12.30 pm. 
 
A friend of mine, who was in the Court gallery in the morning, told me over lunch that Professor Kong appeared to be pushing away her responsibilities to her NUS colleagues. This became apparent to me in the afternoon. Unfortunately I cannot say more, except in these general terms.

Cross-examination continued after lunch to around 5.00 pm, with one or two breaks in between.

Cross-examination of Professor Kong will resume on 21 August 2017.

Rest this weekend

For me, the most gruelling part of the hearing is over – the tormentous days standing in the witness box. But I will do it again if I have to.

I felt more light-hearted this evening, not withstanding that litigation is still ongoing, and I will fight to the end.

Thank you my friends.

Gratefully,
Jeanne

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...

Lily Kong is the Perjurer; Wong Yunn Chii is the Plagiarist

-
13 October 2023 In the aftermath of the news that the NTU faculty member who plagiarised his former student’s work had either been terminated or had resigned , I received some questions about Dr Wong Yunn Chii. There is confusion that these two plagiarists are the same person. The two men are different plagiarists. There is also confusion that Lily Kong committed plagiarism against me; which is also inaccurate. Lily Kong is the perjurer who protected Wong Yunn Chii the plagiarist and this happened in NUS. Lily Kong covered up Wong Yunn Chii’s misconduct after I whistle blew on the plagiarism committed by Wong Yunn Chii. Lily Kong then demanded that the whistleblower (I) agree to stop complaining about the coverup of Wong Yunn Chii’s misconduct, as a condition for NUS to award me my master’s degree. Lily Kong then went to Court to dishonestly testify in Court that she did not link the whistleblowing on Wong Yunn Chii to NUS’s decisions to refuse to award the master’s degree to me an...

A 5-year Legal Battle with NUS

-
Image
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 ...
