Very Good move, Ravi. You must do it. This is the Year 2012 and not 1960s.

He said he wants to claim damages, which he said could run into "several hundred thousands of dollars, or even millions".
Yes. Use that money wisely to assist Singapore and Singaporeans to come of the dark tunnel that they had been in till now.
You will lead us to the light at the end of the tunnel.
A new day will dawn.

He also wants the Society to apologise, following the actions of its representative, Mr Wong Siew Hong, who submitted a doctor's letter to the High Court on July 16, stating that Mr Ravi is unfit to practise law.
Everyone has rights here.
We are a developed Nation (developed by our hard work) and will let no one or their cronies or agents to ever dare to hold us down.

At the gathering, attended by about 25 people, Mr Ravi performed Indian dances, in between speeches.
We are sure there were more than the number mentioned.

Human rights lawyer M Ravi danced, prayed, and made numerous accusations peppered with expletives during a two-hour “party” at Hong Lim Park on Sunday afternoon.

Heavily made-up, barefoot and wearing jeans with a black t-shirt as well as an ornate gold belt, scarves, and flower garlands, Mr Ravi danced three Indian traditional dances that involved him kneeling on the ground, lying prostrate on a small stage, and embracing a nearby tree.



At one point, the 43-year-old flung an orange flower garland into the air and attempted to slice it with a fake silver sword in front of an audience of about 30 people, made up mostly of several supporters, Bangladeshi workers and journalists.

Ravi,who suffers from bipolar disorder, a condition of severe mood swings, had invited the media to his Speakers’ Corner “party” to, amongst other things, demonstrate against the Law Society of Singapore, with whom he had a highly publicized run-in last week.

Last week in court, Law Society representative Wong Siew Hong had attempted to prevent Ravi from acting for his client, Mdm Vellama Marie Muthu, on the grounds that Ravi had suffered a “manic relapse” from bipolar disorder and was therefore professionally unfit to practice.


Wong’s request was thrown out by presiding judge Justice Philip Pillai, who called his intrusion “unprecedented” and said that if Ravi had a valid certificate, he was free to act in Court.

Ravi then said he would also be filing a complaint with the Singapore Medical Council against his doctor Dr Calvin Fones, who had submitted his medical records to the Law Society, and said that his behaviour had been “slightly ignorant”.

In an interview with publichouse, Ravi assured the public that he was feeling “a little stressed” but fine.

On Sunday, Ravi said that he would be suing Wong and the Society on Monday for an apology and for damages against his reputation that will “exceed hundreds thousands of dollars, or millions” because he had a “huge reputation internationally”.

Calling Wong a “cow dung lawyer from Law Society” who had “sh*t in his pants”, he said that he would “forgive but will never forget”.

Ravi also launched into several other bizarre rants, reserving choice words for several prominent politicians and the Law Society.

“I come from a generation of samurais, 369,” said Ravi, before challenging former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew to meet him “one-on-one”, “go fly kite” and telling the 30-member crowd to “stand up for Singapore.”

He also expressed his anger with opposition politicians, calling Workers Party’s Low Thia Kiang, Sylvia Lim, and Chen Show Mao “cow dungs” for what he said was their “lack of support” for his client, Mdm Vellama Marie Muthu.

Ravi is representing Muthu in her campaign for the Court to declare that the Prime Minister does not have unfettered discretion in deciding when to call by-elections.

Most of his time, however, was spent talking about his history and childhood.

Claiming to be from a secret society called “Jalan Kayu 369”, Ravi told the audience he had a Taiwanese father who looked like notorious Hong Kong pop star Edison Chen before ranting about abusive Indian fathers and the suffering of his late mother, whom he credits as his inspiration.

He also peppered his speeches with strange statements, announcing at one point that “Hot is cold, cold is hot, Yin is Yang, and I look young – that is why Hallelujah and Praise the Lord”, eliciting strange looks from curious passers-by.

Ravi also spoke of his intention to “return to New York” where there are “vampires in the Empire State Building”.

When reporters asked about his mental condition at the end of his talk, Ravi asserted that he was “fine”, calling the media “stupid” for raising the issue and refused to take any more questions.

It is not the first time the prominent lawyer has lashed out at the media. In 2010, Ravi called a press conference to defend his comments over a criminal case, but ended up smashing a glass, spewing vulgarities and yelling at journalists to leave his office.

[Cruxx]

It's never about 60% or 40%. Sinkies will always be sinkies. Don't entertain illusions that things would be fine and dandy if the PAPzis were kicked out of government.

 

[oldgoat]

Teen-Kong, will u marry me?

 

[Talking Donkey]

This bugger has got infected by the "outbreak' liao...no hope for him..gone case.

 

[Extremist]

Glad he is not living in Colorado

 

[spiritofchengsan97]

he must be mentally preparing for his court battles by re-enacting the civil war scenes from the Mahabharata

 

[scroobal]

I hope KJ is happy having destroyed this chap. Philip Jeyaretnam, a member of the Public Service Commission should sit down with his elder brother and make it clear what he has done to this chap.

 

[ChaoPappyPoodle]

All he needs is an increase in his dosage and all will be fine.

 

[Extremist]

All he needs is an increase in his dosage and all will be fine.

will he? instead of heading his doctor advice, he sue him instead

 

[methink]

All he needs is an increase in his dosage and all will be fine.

There was no medicine given by his doctor the last time. By inference, he is fine. What increase are you talking about?

 

[BuiKia]

So, police going to call him up for interview since he openly declared that he is SS member?

“I come from a generation of samurais, 369,” said Ravi, before challenging former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew to meet him “one-on-one”, “go fly kite” and telling the 30-member crowd to “stand up for Singapore.”

See, Ravi also say Indian fathers beats up family members. This means we are not racist, the people in this forum are just giving hard honest truth.

Claiming to be from a secret society called “Jalan Kayu 369”, Ravi told the audience he had a Taiwanese father who looked like notorious Hong Kong pop star Edison Chen before ranting about abusive Indian fathers and the suffering of his late mother, whom he credits as his inspiration.

 

[HellAngel]

KJ is being pressured to perform after the disgraceful performance from the last GE. He has to live up to his father's reputation which he clearly cannot. He is desperate to discredit the PAP that he would jump at anything just to pin the blame on PAP. Sadly, his plan backfired and hurt his "friend" instead.

I hope KJ is happy having destroyed this chap. Philip Jeyaretnam, a member of the Public Service Commission should sit down with his elder brother and make it clear what he has done to this chap.

 

[ray_of_hope]

This incident will doubtless cause great embarrassment to all his supporters. He has got a number of high profile cases pending...
