Even before the investigations to the David Widjaja tragedy are completed, both NTU and the state media have already reached an unanimous verdict: that David attacked his professor and slashed his own wrists before plunging to his death.
In a desperate attempt to preserve NTU’s battered image, the state media went on a crusade to smear the name of David Widjaja by protraying him as a depressed, wayward and anti-social scholar who somehow lost himself in computer games.
Unfortunately, SPH’s reach has yet to reach Indonesia where its voracious media had been manufacturing conspiracy theories one after another to debunk its version of events.
In an article published on 14 April 2009, the Jakarta Post reported that the family of David Widjaja will take further legal action to investigate his death. (read article here)
David’s family has rejected the story reported in the Singapore media , saying that the statement was based on the professor’s words only and that the director gave the statement before police completed their investigation.
David’s older brother William claimed that the family are “99 per cent sure” that David was murdered.
He also took issue with the Singapore police sending David’s autopsy report to them via NTU instead of the Indonesian Embassy as is the standard practice which raised doubts on both the legality and veracity of the report.
The family had unsuccessfully tried to meet Prof Su and Prof Chan during their visit to Singapore last week which raised questions as to Prof Chan’s persistent refusal to talk to the parents of his late student.
The Jakarta report contains a number of unsubstantiated allegations against the professionalism and integrity of the Singapore police and should be rebutted immediately to limit the damage already done to our international standing.
