Singapore Muslim minister steal eat and forced to resign by Lawrence Wong
- Thread starter Boonsiong
- Start date
Bring shame to Singapore Muslim community
"This matter came to our attention about a month ago when the Prime Minister’s Office received an email from a female member of the public concerning her interactions with Assoc Prof Faishal," said Mr Wong in a statement.
The prime minister asked for the matter to be looked into immediately, and both Assoc Prof Faishal and the woman were spoken to separately to understand their respective accounts, he added.
Most of their interactions took place through online messages. They also met on the sidelines of public events, Mr Wong said.
Both parties subsequently made allegations of harassment against each other, and the matter was referred to the police, who investigated the allegations.
“After carefully considering the facts and circumstances, and in consultation with the Attorney-General's Chambers, it was assessed that no criminal offence had been committed by either party,” said the prime minister in the statement.
No criminal action will be taken against either of them.

Sir , hard to comment when the Internal Security Department ISD and the CPIB is All almighty .
Not possible for ISD and CPIB to miss out on this big one.
here is a Ai version :
The short answer is: **It is essentially true in substance, though the street rumors back then slightly misunderstood how it worked.**
While the coffee shop rumor in the 1970s painted a picture of a sinister, movie-style "secret police" operation where the Internal Security Department (ISD) spied on ministers for political leverage, the reality was actually a highly institutionalized **security vetting and anti-corruption tracking system** created by Lee Kuan Yew.
Mr. Lee was fiercely obsessed with keeping the government completely clean and invulnerable to blackmail, foreign interference, or subversion.
To achieve this, a few very real systems were put in place that gave rise to the rumors:
### 1. The Pre-Appointment Vetting (ISD & CPIB)
Before anyone could be appointed as a minister, political office holder, or senior civil servant, they had to undergo an incredibly strict security clearance.
The ISD checked their backgrounds for any communist sympathies or vulnerabilities to foreign intelligence agencies.
Meanwhile, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) thoroughly investigated their financial backgrounds.
So yes, a comprehensive security file absolutely existed for everyone *before* they took office.
### 2. The Annual Asset Declarations
Lee Kuan Yew famously mandated that every single minister and political office holder had to submit a **complete, transparent declaration of their assets** directly to the Prime Minister’s Office when they took office, and update it every single year.
This file tracked everything they, their spouses, and their families owned. The goal was to instantly spot if a minister suddenly came into unexplained wealth or faced "financial embarrassment" that could make them vulnerable to bribery.
### 3. Monitoring His Own Team via the CPIB
The rumors usually pointed at the ISD, but Mr. Lee’s preferred tool for keeping his own cabinet in check was actually the **CPIB**.
He gave the bureau completely free rein to investigate anyone—no matter how high-ranking.
This wasn't just a threat on paper; it resulted in the high-profile downfalls of people within his own circle:
* **Wee Toon Boon (1975):** A Minister of State who was investigated by the CPIB, convicted of corruption, and jailed.
* **Phey Yew Kok (1979):** A powerful MP and union leader who fled the country when CPIB came knocking.
* **Teh Cheang Wan (1986):** The Minister for National Development who committed suicide while under active CPIB investigation.
> **The Takeaway:** The rumor that Lee Kuan Yew "had a file on everyone" wasn't a myth—it was standard operating procedure.
However, it wasn't a rogue spying operation designed to dig up dirt; it was a formal, rigorous system of financial disclosure and security clearance designed to ensure that Singapore's leadership remained entirely incorruptible.
