Tey Tsun Hang was appointed as a District Judge in 2002 despite his publications on the criticism on the legal system of Singapore in 2000 !
Thus , his current charges are not politically motivated unlike some who believed him !
To be a District Judge as the age of 30 is a remarkable achievement !
The BIG Question is :
At the PEAK of his career why did he leave ???
Could there also be something we didn't know?
WHO would want to leave a promising career UNLESS ......
Some wrongdoings and was asked to resign ?
EGGcellent, all my PAP IB colleagues are coming out of the closet. Banzai!
YanDao, you are not directing a movie OK. Even those directing historical movie include disclaimer that it is not based on actual facts and the discrepancies are A, B, C.
If my memory serves me right, what was contained in this link provided by Madam Tang before it was wiped out and replaced with a general list of academic staff is that Tey was transferred from District Judge to the Attorney General’s Chambers, then left to join Allen & Gledhill, the top law firm in SG, before joining NUS law faculty. I also read somewhere that the person who brought him in to NUS was none other than Chin Tet Yung, expert in the law of evidence, former dean of the faculty and a former PAP Member of Parliament. Why was he transferred? Was he Michael-Khooed? You do know who former District Judge Michael Khoo is and what was his reward for being fair to JBJ, do you?
I will leave it to the readers to decide for themselves whether the wiping out of Tey's CV from NUS website and the emergence of your post with factual inaccuracies are "co-incidental" or "CO-ORDINATED"!
As for your allegation that he was appointed DJ in 2002, whilst he wrote those critical articles in 2000, it is a blatant lie. All one needs to do is to go to Tey’s website and all his critical articles are there.

The full list is below. I give you a clue hor, the numbers in brackets, they refer to the year of publication. So, all those articles critical of our judicial and political system were published from 2008 to 2010.

From the point of view of my, ahem I mean OUR masters, the last straw must be the book “Legal Consensus: Supreme Executive, Supine Jurisprudence, Suppliant Profession of Singapore", which was published a few months before his arrest and the description is available at this link:

YanDao, if you can make the last link disappear or alter its contents even though it is on Hong Kong University's website, I say your, ahem I mean OUR masters are truly powderful! Banzai!
