Tony Tan Booed at Nomination!

[Khun Ying Pojaman]

So Phony joined Lee Kuan Yew, Lee Hsien Loong, Wooden and his seven other PAP buddies in the destruction of not only Tang Liang Hong and JB Jeyaratnam but also the destruction of Tang's defenceless wife and innocent daughter. Phony joined in to terrorise this defenceless Ah Soh and her young, innocent daughter: their passports were seized, they were harassed, they were trailed, their phone lines were tapped, PAP lawyers stood and waited outside their house, etc.

I believe most Singaporeans during those times must have found Tony Tan the most like-able PAP minister, especially after LKY announced to the world that Tony Tan was his first choice as PM. That gave the impression that Tony Tan was a humble chap and very un-PAP.

When the TLH issue was brewing, I was thinking Tony Tan would not join in the fray. But in the evening when I saw news on TV that Tony Tan was among the legion of ministers and MPs devouring TLH and his family, my impression of Tony Tan changed forever.

Anybody knows if their family are well now? esp. their innocent daughter...

Tang and family are currently in Melbourne. Phony Tan and his PAP merry men may have wiped Tang out financially through the use of their Kangaroo Courts but he is no broken man.

Phony Tan's Denial of the Abuse and Misuse of the ISA Against Political Opponents


Not all arrests are publicised.

Kalu Sarkar, a physiotherapist and personal friend of then President Devan Nair, was arrested and detained under the ISA in March 1984. He was subjected to torture in the PAP's attempt to force him to sign a statement certifying the PAP's version of events in Sarawak.

KS was then a guest of President Devan Nair and stayed at the Istana.

But with Despot Lee, Wooden Goh and Phony Tan, the misuse and abuse of power and resources of the state was nothing unusual even if it were to involve the arrest and detention a President's guest.

KS was rudely woken in the wee hours of the morning from his guest room in the Istana. Without the consent or knowledge of the President or the First Lady, he was bundled up into a car by Phony's and Despot's ISD goons and subjected to detention and torture at the Whitley Detention Centre.

As a candidate running for the Presidency, Phony Tan should answer this question: Does he approve of such arrest, dentention and torture by the ISD goons of innocent guests of a President?

If not, why did he, as a Cabinet Minister at that time, allow it to happen?

If Phony could answer the question, he wouldnt have been Old Man's first choice as PM.

The price required to buy off the TOC staff and the likes of them? Invite them to a press conference and buy them a cheap lunch at NUSS Guild House.

tsk tsk... some people are easily impressed. maybe they also got an exclusive invitation to TT's presidential inauguration party?
