I live near Othman Wok and he looks friendly enough whenever he is outside his house. Always wanted to speak with him but never dared try. Perhaps I really should before he joins his comrades in the Big Parliament in the Sky....

Othman Wok married his 2nd wife without the 1st wife knowing it.. He met his 2nd wife during his MPS.. She was a divorcee with one kid, a Chinese who was adopted by a Malay family when she was young.. She went to his MPS to seek his help regarding her flat purchase.. Othman was smitten by the beauty of this lady by the name of Lina and the rest is history..:biggrin: They then married secretly.. But it was not long before his 1st wife found out his secret marriage and subsequently blew her top at Othman.. But then again, Othman was already having some problems with the 1st wife over her extreme jealousy towards him.. Othman was then summoned by Raja to meet the Old Fart.. Old Fart was bit worried about the personal problems that Othman was having with the 1st wife and his 2nd marriage to Lina .. Othman then reassured Old Fart that everything's in order and he could take care of his own problems.. Othman then was given the Ambassador post in Jakarta.. Brought his 1st wife with him there and left the 2nd wife in Spore.. 2nd wife would occasionally visit Othman in Jakarta.. Othman's 1st wife then passed away few years after his retirement.. And Othman Wok lived happily ever after with his 2nd wife Lina.. :biggrin:

He cud'nt stand for election cos he was in Changi.

Lim Chin Siong co-founded the People's Action Party (PAP) in 1954 with Lee Kuan Yew .

Read Said Zahari's Dark Cloud at Dawn.. In his book, he lavished praise onto Lim Chin Siong.. Said regarded Lim Chin Siong as one of his best friend ever and the feeling is mutual too on the part of Lim.. Lim used to visit Said at his Upper Changi Rd home back then before their detention.. Lim loved the simple cooking of Said's wife.. One of Lim's favourite Malay dishes was the egg sambal cooked by Said's wife.. One of Said's biggest regret was not being able to see Lim for the last time when he passed away in 1996.. Said was then staying in Malaysia after his release from detention..

The reporter who was actually a rising star lost his job. It was believed to be a setup. The rest got warning letters and yes, a tidy sum was given out as damages.


think that cock up in tnp cost the editor( r may be sub editor??) his job...think tnp also had to pay tcc six figures in damages...tcc instructed alvin yeo to act for him agst tnp...coincidentally alvin is now a pap mp...

TCC was rather rigid in the manner that he handled issues such as student protests, foreign and local lecturers and other similar issues. He became a political timebomb for the PAP and they had to let him go. Its came to a stage where well regarded people were resigning from his ministries.

He however was instrumental in moving various parties towards a common agenda in London during his student days. He is also the architect of the infamous PAP cadre system. A legacy which I am sure he regrets till this day.

To be frank, if TCC was running the show, 111 won't be arrested, it wouild be more like 11,100.

The guy was an exceptional control freak.

Agree..must say that what he didnt say speaks volumes about how he felt about his comrade. Notice how Harry boxed his "tribute" around his redoubtable character, rather than what he has done. On many occasions, the two men stood on opp sides of the line in the sand.

actually i dont think so...harry's v short brief public letter of condolence speaks volumes i sld say...

LKY look frail, unsteady and tired.. Look at his eyes when he was taking a look at Toh Chin Chye for the last time.. Deep down in his heart, he knows he'll be next..

After the PAP swept into power in 1959, Lim Chin Siong was released from detention.

If he couldn't become PM, why was there a vote between him and LKY?
hahaha.....pse refer to the other threads and official records........the tie was between lky and oeg.
lcs was not even in the first cabinet.

Wow !

He has blood on his hands just like the rest of them. :rolleyes:

Where was his dissenting voice when 111 innocent Singaporeans were arrested and locked up without trial in order to deny them the chance of standing for elections?

This is the first time I get hear something humane from a Moe Leong Sum ! Procure good deeds, and good deeds shall come to reciprocate with a recompense. Carry on the good works and destroy PAP.

Re: Wow !

Wonder what's stated in the late TCC's will. Son-in-law benefits most or grandchildren? Noticed his flooring in house still mosaic tiles! Must be very thrifty.

Used to have one Dr Lee Chiaw Meng. Is he still around?

In the late 80s or early 90s, I met him while inside lift at Shangri-la Hotel. He was with two super SYTs. See already salivate type.

So complicated :eek:

Unlike today's MPs who are so boring:smile: I'm really surprised that the old Fart was concerned about a little family matter. If you look at his own family: the losing of billion$$$, the money made by his wife's law firm, the cronyism, .... :wink:

Not as 'complicating' as one leader of an opposition who is taking advantage of a rumours of another opposition MP, who supposedly to be having an affair. Makes Othman Wok story, bed time story.

LCM passed away about 2001. Yes, he had an eye for SYTs and that got him into trouble with LKY. His wife divorced him. He remarried, to someone a third his age. Oddly, when his 50 something ex-wife and the 30 something new wife stood next to each other on stage to accept the toast from guests at LCM's daughter's wedding, the ex-wife actually looked better.
