Tan Jee Say – A poignant letter to Tony Tan
October 27th, 2014 | Author: Contributions
"The 1963 Operation Coldstore in Singapore" - A treasure trove of declassified evidence painstaking researched
and pieced together for posterity. Let there be light.
Jee Say has written a letter to the President, Tony Tan, to address “the very serious charge” that “the Internal Security Act had been used for political purposes”.
He was referring to the Operation Coldstore and the charges that the Barisan politicians were communists and is using declassified British documents kept at the British National Archives in Kew, London to prove his point. The details of his letter can be found in TRE under the heading, ‘Mr President, I urge you to seek the truth about Operation Coldstore and Battle for Merger during your State visit in the UK’. Below is an example of his quotes:
He is demanding that the President gives him a reply following the President’s challenge issued during the 2011 Presidential Election TOC TV Forum that Jee Say must back up his charges against the Govt. Jee Say also said, ‘You (President Tony Tan) owe it to the people of Singapore to do so particularly when you asked for evidence to prove that the ISA had been used for political purposes.’
Would there be a reply or would nothing be said? The charges by Jee Say are very serious indeed and could change historical facts in our history books. And criminals could be set free while their accusers could be put behind bars. Black will become white and white becomes black.
Whatever that would happen following this open letter, one thing is clear, Jee Say is not a stooge and he meant business. He is going for the jugular.

Parliament sit 5 year term, but the elected president sit on 6 years term and PE held one year after the GE. Know why? The president loyal to PAP can be assured that he would use his veto power against ISA arrest of PAP ministers guilty of misdeeds during the PAP regime should the opposition forms the govt. Trust the 91 year cunnting old fox to cover exit planning.

35% is either too busy going on fully paid holidays by taxpayers or just laze around in his huge mansion playing with his grand kids.
35% knows that he is in this position being reward for his years of total loyalty to the Lee dynasty. That’s all to it.
35% just has to bath in all the richness.
Obligation to singaporeans? To country?
Nothing. 35% believe that the country owes him & he deserves every bit he had been getting.
And there are probably more in store for him after stepping down.
Same old pattern, won't reply:

PAP style,
1. When don’t know how to answer, keep a deafening silence for as long as possible, hopefully the demand will go away.
2. If the problem don’t go away & become even hotter, issued a statement & threaten to sue or call in their henchmen the “Bully Office” to make arrest under various trumped up charge.
3. Skin thick, thick, still on the job, smile like an idiot as though nothing happen and continued to collect salary from the people !

Below is an example of his quotes:
‘I referred to recently declassified British Government documents relating to Operation Coldstore which revealed that Lord Selkirk, the UK Commissioner to Singapore at that time, reported to Duncan Sandys, secretary of state for the colonies, that:
‘there is no important new evidence of subversive activity on which arrests at this juncture can be justified. We could not substantiate a charge that they are planning to use violence. In the absence of specific evidence of subversion the arrests would be construed as an attempt by HMG to stifle legitimate opposition.‘ (Geoff Wade)’
