The government must take a stand on this issue. It is public policy that you do not decorate a criminal and for which the late Dr Ooi is the subject matter. It matters not that the condolences was meant for the parents and siblings. A wrong message would have been signalled by the government to...

There is always a forum to challenge Mindef decision if they don't allow the bond to be broken. Government's decision can be challenged and they are not always right. Taking the suicidal approach is a wrong step in resolving a problem let alone the fact that he is scholar. It serve to prove that...

If what you are saying is right that just because the father is someone rich and powerful and sits on many powerful boards, which may include the government, isn't this giving in to the elite when it has been the policy of this government that it practices clean and open government without...

It is no defence to say that no harm was brought upon anyone except himself. If such a defence is acceptable, then perhaps a lot of criminals committing crime can walk out scot free if their defence is one that no harm was brought upon anyone. Remember : Society cannot be seen to be...

Much have been said in the thread on "Dr Allan Ooi’s farewell letter and last word before his death: Questions for SAF" and the main thrust of blogger's views had been centred on the pros and cons of scholarship bond. However, I have questions for Mindef or any government officials who can...

The arrogance of the civil servants continues when the OA claim in their affidavit that they have sought independent legal advice. When asked for a copy of the report given by the independent law firm, they are unable to produce it. The question begs as to whether what was stated by the OA...

Cass888 does not read carefully what was said in other's view and talk sense in his reply so it is difficult to engage intellectually with him.

Till todate, there is no action being taken by the minister on the conduct of the civil servants. It can therefore be safely concluded that the action of the civil servants have the blessings of the government.

Thank you very much. I will continue with my fight against Standchart and to stop the abuse of power by civil servants who are supposed to help its citizens but are actually helping the international bank to come and kill you.

If I lose my case in court, then this government and the courts are contradicting themselves by what they have done over the last several years. Then all the convicted lawyers who took clients' monies will have to walk out scot free as they have been given the "licence" by the courts and the...

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I am fighting on with this case as this is a clear case of blatant disregard for the law by Standchart as it is trite law and a known fact that law firm client account cannot go into overdraft and moreover to prevent my case from being heard in the open...

What you have just raised as to whether the bankrupt has the right to sue or not is a point of law that was argued in the Court of Appeal where judgment has been reserved till a later date. It has always been the practice of the OA to give their consent to bankrupt to sue whenever there is a...

In a recent court affidavit filed by the OA on 12 January 2009 for hearing before the Court of Appeal, the OA is trying to cover their lapses and justify their decision by engaging an independent law firm to give them advice on the quantum of damages that, in their opinion, what I am entitled if...

It is about time this nonsense has to stop and cannot go on unchecked.

The court will give their decision at a later date.

Court of Appeal comprising Chief Justice Chan Sek keong, Judges of Appeal V K Rajah and Andrew Phang reserved Judgment in Standchart appeal.

Can you point out to me which statement did I make to say that I had admitted. I do not stoop so low as what they are doing.

In a desperate move by the Official Assigne, the OA has filed and served a copy of the affidavit on my solicitors on the afternoon of 12 January 2008 when the hearing in the Court of Appeal is only 2 1/2 days away. Why is the OA doing this at the last minute when they have ample time (almost 1...

I believe in doing good and not destroy one's life because whatever you have done will come back to haunt you one of these days. But sometimes if it is for the good of the general public and for the masses, then you just need to do what is necessary. I am member of the public and they have no...
