I have read his articles over the years in his blog called recalcitrant. Believe me it like watching paint dry. Except for the fact that he likes to state that he is an ex-ISD director and revealed his name, no information let alone useful information ever surfaces.
Fair enough he is entitled to his opinions and his views but these tend to be general in nature and highly superficial. The only differentiator amongst those who expresses their views in the anti-establishment space is that he style of writing is still stuck in the WWII era. Even the turn of phrase and choice of words can't be that bombastic for that era. Reminds me of a SAP scholar who always uses the Thesaurus or should I say misuses it and became a bit of a joke at MINDEF.
Interestingly I sense that he does not know the meaning of recalcitrant.
I am well aware that it was during his time that detention was a major issue and there is no doubt that he is tainted with the regime but the Official Secrets Act does not mean that he can't even speak his mind on the subjects except for generalisation on safe topics laden with words that had not seen light of day.
We get more information from SBF chaps from from all walks of life over the years than this guy. Apparently he is sick and frail yet he still wants to walk the line. I won't be surprised that religion got to him and he is trying to cleanse his past.
