The fiasco involving the bapok Pianist Tan has interesting similarities with scion Tony Tan's darling son.
Talented Pianist Tan was aiming for a get out jail card from National Serfship to further his musical dreams. He appears to be gifted and wealthy because the Brits wanted him and his parents could cough up the 70k bond to indulge in his dream. However Mafia Mindef told him 'No way, bapok, come back and get your arse deflowered'. As a result Pianist Tan did the full Monty, skipped town and spend many moons with the Brits, making music, love and merry with the talented arty farty anglo-saxon hedonists.
Well that was not a issue as Mindef could do with one lesser peasant but things took an interesting turn when the talented pianist tan became a mini international star among the ang mohs. Some idiot lackey (Boy George Yeo) had the wise idea to recall him as a Peasantpore Icon with a Faustian Deal.
Pianist Tan will return to Peasantpore and face a show trial who will fine him 3000 peanuts for AWOL. A cheap get out of jail card. Pianist Tan will get to visit his parents and in return become a showcase of Peasantpore musical talent. Apparently dumb peasants got wind of this and started a silly series of protests and Pianist Tan, sick of the name calling, returned to the Brits and declined to assist Peasantpore raise her music profile.
When Tony Tan says his son has the talent and must be given leeway to escape NS using legal tricks, he is spot on. Princeling Tan has no need to explain to peasants why he was exempted from combat vocations but get to spar with soil disease in his lab, he simply could tell peasants,'lan lan lor, its my father's army ok'
