You and your council may be too conceited to think that the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry is a chamber of “high repute”. To me, your chamber has done nothing for the ordinary people of Singapore. Indeed your chamber merely caters for the rich and powerful, the ministers and the business people. Let me give you one example of how you have failed the ordinary people.
You have a very impressive auditorium named after one of your founders, the well known philanthropist and activist, Mr Tan Kah Kee. It is open for rental both by your members as well as the public.
In 2015, I, on behalf of my organisation, Function 8, booked the auditorium for the launch of LIVING IN A TIME OF DECEPTION by Dr Poh Soo Kai, the grandson of Mr Tan Kah Kee. I paid the rental deposit of $510 as a member of the public. A few days after the booking, I was informed that members of your council have rejected my booking. No reason was given.
I immediately wrote to the chamber to reconsider the irrational decision of your council members. I copied my letter to all the council members who had valid email addresses. Your chamber of so called “high repute” did not even bother to respond or give reasons why the grandson of your founder could not even launch his book at the auditorium that is named after his grandfather.
Come on Mr President. There is no need to investigate who leaked the audio recording of the disgraceful rant of Minister Chan Chun Sing. You don’t have a reputation as far as I am concern. And I am sure, the public don’t care.
