"We repeat the following questions to Dr Patrick Tan, Dr Tony Tan and MINDEF:
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?
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’t 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?
The crux of the matter is NEVER about Dr Patrick Tan not serving NS, getting NS allowances during his NS stint or ‘hurting’ Dr Tony Tan, but about fairness, accountability and transparency.
Dr Tony Tan should stop obfuscating the issue and come clean with Singaporeans unless he has some serious problem with his English comprehension skills."
