There he goes, someone who played a big role in our past, and one whom most people will not care one way or the other. He will be buried, and whatever knowledge he had kept close to his heart will be buried together with him forever.

The Attorney-General of Singapore is the legal adviser to the government of the Republic of Singapore and its public prosecutor.

The office was founded in 1867 as the chief legal officer of the British crown colony of the Straits Settlements. The current requirements for appointment as Attorney-General are set out in the Singapore Constitution[1]. Unlike some other countries that follow the Westminster parliamentary model, in Singapore the Attorney-General is not a member of Parliament. He carries out his functions, with the assistance of his deputy, known as the Solicitor-General, through the Attorney-General's Chambers.

/ AG For 25 years ...

 

[LITTLEREDDOT]

Beholden to old man.

Dotology: are dots a sight to behold?

 

[scroobal]

When the trial was going on, you could clearly see that Allan was a proxy. I am sure the Prosecutor, Glenn Knight regretted being used as a patsy and its the very man that lodged the complaint against him to old man. At one point in time, WCY literally controlled the market. KTP was second. Both Khoo and WCY sat at the apex.

And now the spoils - SCB is at the feet of old man's talented daughter-in-law. The sale to Temasek was the end of an era and the quid pro quo arrangements must fill a library. I do hope that Elizabeth at least has a diary that she will be publish before she leaves this world.

This farker conspired with WCY to kill Allan Ng.

After Allan Ng pulled out TBT's skeletons from his cupboard, GCT who was on Allan's side promoted TBT to Chairman of S'pore Broadcasting Corp in 1992.
