i have personally met some of these ISD chaps. basically, they are thugs and gangster with the badge. They are not hired for their intellect, but for their intimidation.

they are also prone to womanize and gamble, compromising their integrity. same with secret service in the u.s. - always looking for holes to bang.

The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) on Friday issued a clarification on an assertion in the statement from the estate of Mr Lee.
"The statement is incorrect in saying that the High Court decision that the estate holds a limited copyright to the oral history transcripts was a 'key point' that the Government had 'disagreed with' the estate on," said the AGC.

"On the contrary, the Government agreed that the estate had a limited copyright to the transcript under the interview agreement between Mr Lee Kuan Yew and the Government. In fact, the High Court’s finding that the estate held a copyright, 'but only for the purpose of ensuring the Government’s compliance with the terms' of the agreement, is identical with the argument that the Attorney-General submitted to the court on behalf of the Government on Jul 14, 2016," it said.


I think Rajah and Tann, the estate's lawyers, should have fought on the point that the transcripts were not covered under the OSA, as there was no govt agency that had classified it as a secret and that there was no written agreement between Old Fart and the oral history department that they were secret. As such, they need not be in govt custody, and that the judge has over stepped his boundary by ruling they were secrets under the OSA. Hence, the docs should be released to the estate.

Am sure Rajah & Tann is capable of knowing their position.

Does the delay, or withdrawal, of appeal against the ruling suggest more behind the scene happenings then is known outside the circle?

Seriously, I am not too sure about that. While they are good litigators in many areas, this is a totally new field for any law firm in Singapore. I mean when was the last time any entity sued the singapore govt over personal documents that may or may not be OSA? They are breaking new grounds here. Even the fucking judge gabra inventing new laws and circumventing the OSA with wrong interpretations.

There is no gabra. He who pays the judges is always right.
