No he was not on OMS. But it appears that he was treated as an OMS for the disruption application. The application was for the BA, MD-phd. I was merely saying that for an OMS if they gave up their scholarship and paid the bond while in the midst of their studies, they were recalled back to serve out the rest of the NS. Their studies are put on hold. There have been a number of such cases.

I still do not understand. If he was not on an OMS and not on the usual medical officer track, then why was he allowed to disrupt? Did he really apply to disrupt for the entire duration of his BA-MD-PhD studies? Surely, Mindef must have asked how long his disruption would be.

Was old man aware of this episode from the start? I think unlikely. It appeared to be a pretty well kept secret. So who is the great whistle blower?

Matters not whether the old man know or not know. The important thing is that the father, Tony Tan closed an eye to the whole thing.

He cannot claim not to know as his own son Patrick was sent to the states for studies. Complicity on the father's part is very clear. Mindef was under his charge. So he is fully accountable.

If TT is asked by him to stand, he is stuck with his own choice and must be very mad. Isn't that interesting?

New evidence has emerged from studying Dr Patrick Tan's VC.

He was awarded the Charles Yanofsky Award for most outstanding graduate thesis in 1998.

Since you cannot obviously win an award with a half completed thesis, this can only mean he completed his thesis in 1998.

He however only returned to serve his NS in 2000. This supports the hypothesis that he probably took at least 1 year off as a gap year.

Does SAF normally grant disruption for gap year vactions?

No. Under the MSTP (medical scientist training program) in Stanford, you are supposed to finish your thesis 2 years before your schedule and use the remaining 2 years to resume your medical school clinical training. It is very likely that PT used the two remaining years to resume his clinical training. See http://mstp.stanford.edu/structure.html for more details.

Please check the facts carefully and don't publish rubbish on your blog. You mislead Singaporeans and make it much harder to build a case against Patrick Tan.

Bro, this one is very unusual. Nobody wants to talk or even want to know about it. Quite bizarre. This is worse than the American school admission of old man's grandson.

This shows that the PAP party discipline is still intact. Either through loyalty or being fully-paid for. It also shows that no one would want to openly sabo the old man's own candidate lest they have their heads cut off. People still fear lau lee (at least those within PAP) regardless of what they think of the situation.

I take a few steps back and look at Singapore from the recent GE until now, I still find Singapore not much different from those princely states of the past that exist before WW1. The only obstacle is the so-called elections. Whether TT & Sons are honest or not, the candidates from the hereditary class of PAP nobles seems to the only ones who will end up exercise the right to govern.

A few minutes conversation on the street with an average voter and we will understand why elections are a farce.

Phony Tony and His Phony Handshake: Seet Ai Mee Part II


'After shaking hands with a fishmonger, she washed her hands. But she has not done this since.' Goh Chok Tong on PAP MP Seet Ai Mee, National Day Rally, 29 Aug 1991

Ahead of Polling Day on 31 Aug 1991, Wooden, in his 1991 NDP Rally speech, raised the issue of Seet Ai Mee washing her hands after shaking hands with a fishmonger. She lost to SDP's Ling How Doong in Bukit Gombak in that election. This handshaking/handwashing incident was one reason given for her loss. It showed her as being elitist and out of touch with the working class and the ordinary man in the street whose votes she was courting.

Fast forward to 2011 and we have another PAP elitist handshaking incident. It shows President-wannabe, the elitist Tony Tan, whose claim to fame lies in his ability to produce offsprings who are able to secure 12 years of NS disruption, giving a phony handshake in his attempt to court votes.

That is, if his phony handshake can be described as a "handshake". TRE has has the video clip showing Phony Tony's phony "handshake" (http://www.temasekreview.com/2011/0...zens-for-dead-fish-handshake-with-fishmonger/).

Phony Tony must have felt cursed that the lowly fishmonger accepted his insincere offer of his phony handshake. Hopefully, that fishmonger is fully aware of his station in life and not feel insulted by Phony Tony.

Now the big question. Did Phony Tony wash his hands after "shaking" that fishmonger's hand?
