Princeling Tan, spawn of Scion Tony Tan of the illustrious Tan started a fierce offensive to clear his tarnished name.

The Mouthpiece gleefully reports his stellar achievements, notably acting as page boy for more prominent Ang Moh researchers. Mouthpiece says Princeling Tan was involved in 'National Research' to solve the soil disease problem that routinely kill a few peasant serfs annually(while sparing the White Horses).

Mouthpiece and Mindef claimed Princeling Tan's research is sacred e.g. national security stuff and that Princeling Tan has served his time while acknowledging that more peasant children had to lan lan charge up hills thanks to their lesser papas.

The dumber peasants should read the book, 'Children of a lesser God' to understand the fury of lesser mortal peasants.

It is strange that Mindef allowed a few peasant serfs to die annually of soil disease but suddenly had the urgency to do something about it when Princeling Tan wants to cherry pick his National Serfship vocation.

The crux of the issue is many peasants had to delay their plans and waste 24 moons of their time doing the National Wayang. For example, Pianist Melvin Tan told he could not join the gay infested MDC despite his musical talent but somehow Princeling Tan was rewarded with a job that added value to his career resume.

Therefore we think the Big Balls Theorem is a good way to explain such injustice. If you papa has big balls, you can be assured of a good cushy life.

Another example of the Big Balls Theorem.

Arse Loong's son was a officer in the silly SAF. During one stint as a DO, he simply AWOL when the next DO failed to show up. He coolly wrote a complaint letter and ask the CoA (Chief of Army) to wake up and kick the balls of the regular DOs who are acting as mini-feudal lords. That certainly stirred a hornet's nest as many serfs wondered why Arse Loong's son was not charged with AWOL and made to carry sandbags. For the idiots, Arse Loong's son was slapped with a token fine and was packed to Uncle Sam for a free education trip.

Using the Big Balls Theorem, it is apparently the wastrel is simply abusing the fact that it is his papa and ah kong's army.... hence he could simply write silly letters to anyone he pleased despite his gabras.

Only in Singapore.

Nepotism.

Dear Patrick Tan:

I read your recent posting on Presidential candidate Tony Tan抯 Facebook website. You noted that you are 損roud?of your National Service. You further noted that you are upset by rumours that impugn your integrity and that of the 搃nstitution of National Service.?/P> It is great to hear about your pride in serving the nation. Rather than being upset, you should welcome and be forthcoming with respect to questions about your National Service. The issue is not you per se. What is at issue is something much more important and fundamental: Is a single standard being applied to all Singapore citizens? As such, your pride, education, awards, publications, and titles and honors is simply beside the point. To repeat, the question is whether you received preferential treatment with respect to your National Service. To ask this question is not to impugn your integrity or that of the institution of National Service. What is at stake is whether we can trust our government to enforce its laws uniformly and without prejudice. As the late U.S. President Ronald Reagan often noted: trust but verify.
Let抯 face it Patrick, the Singapore government is opaque. Its machinations are only privy to a select few insiders. The main stream media is essentially an extension of the government/state. Do we really have a system of checks and balances? This leaves the average Singaporean in the dark. The earlier generation placed blind trust in their political leaders. That goodwill has been destroyed. Our generation believes in greater transparency and holding our politicians accountable. With respect to transparency, U.S. Supreme Court justice Brandeis had remarked that 搒unlight is the best disinfectant.?The internet has been a blessing to our cause. Speaking for myself, the goal here is not to cast aspersions on you, your dad, or Singapore抯 institutions. Rather, it is to check whether our trust in the Singapore government is well placed (and not misplaced).
You are the son of a former Defence Minister. Your dad is presently seeking the high office of the Presidency. His election to this office will be decided by us voters. This is a hope. There is a chance that he might waltz in if the authorities disqualify the other presidential candidates. We want to make informed decisions. In my view, honor, courage, and trustworthiness trumps academic credentials and experience. While it is easy to verify the latter attributes, the former can only be inferred from one抯 actions. This is where you enter the picture. We want to know if your father can be trusted to dutifully carry out his charges rather than taking advantage of his office. So the question is whether your service requirements and deferment were altered to accommodate you. To be perfectly honest, I found your answer evasive on this issue. I found it somewhat similar to Janil Puthucheary equating his medical practice to National Service.
To summarize, the questions raised on your National Service is not an attack on your character. They represent justifiable questions to verify whether our elected officials serve their office in honor rather than taking advantage of their office. I hope you appreciate our point of view and please be more forthcoming. Please tell that to your dad as well since I find his answer equally evasive and dismissive.
The specific questions are as follows:
a. What is the basis for the extended deferment that you received?
b. What is the basis for allowing you to complete your NS in a research function? Are there other examples of such placement?
c. Why did you not finish your officer training?

As the controversy enshrouding his son Dr Patrick Tan抯 NS stint rages on in cyberspace, PAP-endorsed presidential candidate Dr Tony Tan has issued a short statement on his Facebook to 慶larify?the matter.
Dr Tony Tan wrote that his sons have all completed their National Service obligations fully and he has never intervened in their postings.
He then counter-accused netizens for spreading 慺alse rumors?
揑 am deeply disappointed by the false rumours currently circulating. I am confident that Singaporeans are savvy enough to see through these distractions and will make up their minds based on solid facts and focus on the real issues at hand.?/STRONG>
Dr Tony Tan should pin-point exactly what the false rumors are instead of hurling wild accusations at the online community.
As a former Defence Minister, he should have no problems answering the following questions:
1. When Dr Patrick Tan completed his studies at Harvard University in 1992, he should have returned to Singapore to serve his NS like other scholarship holders. Why was he allowed to disrupt a second time? Are there any precedents?
2. Are there any other scholars or Singaporeans who disrupted for such a lengthy period of time?
3. Since Dr Patrick Tan was combat-fit then, why didn抰 he go through the Medical Officer Cadet Course (MOCC) to serve his NS as a SAF medical officer (MO) of which age should not be a problem since there are doctors more than 40 years of age who are specialists attending the course in the past.
4. Are there any other combat-fit NSFs who served their NS in DMERI like Dr Patrick Tan?
5. Where did Dr Patrick Tan do his in-camp training?
Since Dr Tony Tan is 揳cutely aware of the scrutiny to which public figures are subjected? he should come clean with Singaporeans instead of throwing all kinds of smoke-screens to divert public attention and obfuscate the crux of the issue.
Nobody is arguing over whether Dr Patrick Tan did complete his NS nor are netizens getting 憄ersonal?with Dr Tony Tan. Singaporeans are just curious and concerned to know if he was given preferential treatment during NS. These are relevant questions based on information obtained from Dr Patrick Tan抯 CV, not rumors which arise out of nowhere or hearsay.

[TD="class: msgtxt"][h=2] Dr Tony Tan’s Office clarifies his son’s non-combat NS stint as a ’scientist’ at DMERI [/h]

Author: Temasek Review

The Office of Dr Tony Tan has issued a clarification on his son Dr Patrick Tan’s non-combat National Service stint at the Defence Medical and Environmental Research Institute (DMERI, then called DMRI) on his Facebook yesterday following queries from netizens:
ttns.jpg
It claimed that Dr Patrick Tan attended BMT and OCS before disrupting to attend medical school:
“Dr Tan’s son entered National Service with his regular cohort and attended BMT and OCS. As you may know, there are multiple service pathways for NSmen after BMT. Like many doctors-in-training, he disrupted his National Service to attend medical school.”
However according to Dr Patrick Tan’s CV, he studied in Harvard University first to obtain a Bachelor of Arts before studying Medicine in Stanford University.
The clarification brought more questions than answers as netizens continue to ask Dr Tony Tan if his son was given preferential treatment:
ttnizam.jpg
One angry netizen Mohammad Nizam posted on Dr Tony Tan’s Facebook saying there is no such NS vocation as ‘defense medical scientist’ in the SAF and asked if Dr Patrick Tan has passed his IPPT and completed his ICTs.
Dr Tony Tan was the Defence Minister from 1995 and 2003. Based on his CV, Dr Patrick Tan should have served his NS from 200o to 2002 after which he continued his work at a ‘defense medical scientist’ till 2004.
Since Dr Patrick Tan had taken IPPT, he should be combat-fit and therefore there’s no reason why he could not serve his NS as a combat medical officer (MO). Life as a combat MO is definitely much tougher than a scientist sitting in an air-conditioned laboratory.
A number of unnecessary deaths of NSFs occurred during Dr Tony Tan’s tenure as Defence Minister. In 2004, Second Sergeant Hu Enhuai was drowned by commando trainers during an ill-fated Combat Survival Course.
MINDEF should come clean with Singaporeans and reveal the number of Singaporeans who served their NS as ‘defence medical scientists’ over the years and explain why they were not sent to combat vocations instead.

Nice post and intelligent questions, peasantpore needs such peasants to take on the first world, not paper tigers or Princelings.

But Patrick Tan is not a fool, he simply will stonewall and claimed his AWOL is well justified because his soil disease research added value to his career and that he became a cheap page boy for his ang moh bosses.

Speaking of decency, the Tan family is devoid of it after this exposure of a White Horse among them.....

Arse Loong has more decency, he make his son wear the uniform and performed some wayang, we certainly pity the peasant officers who had to nanny sit Arse Loong's son 8)

Therefore in Peasantpore, there will be always be 'discreet' examples of influential parents securing cushy national serfship stints for their child.

[TD="class: msgtxt"]Lets face it.
If I was the Singapore Defence Minister and my son had to do National Service, the first thing I would do is to make sure that he is made an officer, then I would make sure he lands a nice cushy relaxing post. I would also make sure that he gets some kind of scholarship which would provide him free education and lodging and lots of pocket money while he studies.
I will also make sure that he gets to book out early every day with no guard duties.
I would also want the OC and the CO to report to my son.
By the way if he was going to do his medical degreee and incidently enrolled in the Arts faculty first I will doubly make sure that my son gets disrupted from his stupid national service obligations. You see I would be the first one to take flight out of Singapore should the need arise. So heck the fuck national service.
By the way why would I want to be the Defence Minister and not use the privileges that come along with it.
Take heart Dr. TT dont be disheartened by the peasant talk.
What would you do if you were the Defence Minister.

Edit </DIV></DIV>In a sign that the entire PAP establishment is throwing its weight behind its presidential candidate Dr Tony Tan, the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) has released a press statement to defend former PAP defence minister Dr Tony Tan over the ongoing controversy about his son, Dr Patrick Tan Boon Ooi抯 NS stint.
In response to queries from the state media, MINDEF said Patrick抯 posting as a defence medical scientist was done 慳ccording to vocational guidelines? He completed his full-time NS on June 19, 2002.
However, MINDEF did not reveal the number of NSFs who were enrolled in the unique vocation of 慸efence medical scientist?
Dr Patrick Tan served his NS from 2000 ?2002 as a 慸efence medical scientist?at the Defence Medical and Environmental Research Institute (DMERI, then called DMRI) where he continued to work till 2004, two years after his ORD.
MINDEF added that while in NS, Dr Patrick Tan received an NSman抯 salary and fulfilled all requirements of NS, such as the Individual Physical Proficiency Test. It did not explain why Dr Patrick Tan was not sent to serve as a combat medical officer (MO) despite being combat-fit.
It also told the state media that prior to 1992, there were 86 NSFs who were disrupted for overseas medical studies, but did not reveal the duration of their disruption. Some netizens have pointed out that it is unusual for a NSF to be disrupted for 13 long years.
Despite the feeble attempt of the PAP regime to exercise damage control over the PR fallout, Dr Tony Tan and MINDEF抯 incomplete clarifications brought more questions than answers.
For the sake of transparency, MINDEF should come clean with the number of NSF medical doctors who disrupted for their medical studies and returned to serve as 慸efence medical scientists?instead of combat-fit MOs over the years as well as its vocational guidelines on combat-fit NSFs.

[TD="class: msgtxt"]This is Tony Tan's son, Patrick Tan, clarifying his NS status:
http://newasiarepublic.com/?p=30864 "After completing my A-levels in 1987, I joined my cohort entering National Service in 1988. After completing Basic Military Training and Officer Cadet School (Junior Term), I was awarded a President抯 Scholarship and a Loke Cheng Kim Scholarship to study medicine in the United States, where medical training typically comprises of a pre-medical degree followed by a graduate medical degree. This is a longer process than in Singapore or the UK, but I chose it because I believed it was the best training for a medical scientist. I made my case to the Ministry of Defence and was granted permission to pursue this course of study. I attended Harvard University (late 1988-1992) for pre-medical studies and moved on directly without interruption to Stanford University, where I completed an MD-PhD degree under the highly-selective Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). During my studies, I also acquired experience in DNA microarray technology. The science behind this revolutionary scientific tool by Stanford scientists Drs Patrick Brown and Ron Davis was developed in 1995. With its applicability proven in 1997, microarray technology was only available at a few centers worldwide. I graduated with the Charles Yanofsky Award for Most Outstanding Graduate Thesis in Biology or Chemistry. After graduating from Stanford, I returned to Singapore in 2000 ready to complete my National Service in whatever post I was assigned. I knew that I had this obligation to complete. My father had since become Minister of Defence, but if anything that made it all the more important to carry out my duty."
After enlisting in 1987 (probably end 1987 after A levels), he got disrupted in 1988 to study overseas. He did not return to Singapore until year 2000. I wonder who else had been granted 12 yrs of disruption from NS by MINDEF?
