Re: AWARE voices out on Jack Neo sex scandal
The prick from Temasek Review made a very relevant point. It warrants a new thread, a discussion of another worthy perspective.

Re: AWARE voices out on Jack Neo sex scandal
Don't waste everybody's time. Looks like this AWARE is also there for show only. Highly disappointed.
Better ask "AWARE" to change their name to "NOT AWARE". Wasting all the women members' money. Some men also joined. Maybe there are more men members? But I don't think so.

Written by Our Correspondent
A visibly upset Foyce Le Xuan had hit out at Jack Neo for denying that he had ever made sexual advances towards her during her stint with his entertainment company.
Foyce was the first woman to step forward in support of Wendy Chong after the latter leaked her affair with Jack Neo to the press. She said she decided to come forth with her story to show the public what kind of person Jack really is.
According to Foyce, Jack had made numerous sexual advances towards her including inviting her to a hotel room to share “personal” and “quiet” moments with him.
She also claimed that she was gradually dropped from acting assignments and projects because she had rejected all sexual overtures from Jack.
Jack Neo has since denied the allegations. In an interview with The New Paper yesterday, Jack said that he had only one affair with Wendy Chong and questioned the motives of other women who had told the press of their involvement with him including a 16 year girl and a transsexual masseur, Lai Meiqi.
“As for the others who have surfaced to make all kinds of claims, I wonder what their motives are. Is it because they think I am down-and-out now that they can join in to cast stones at me?” he told TNP in an agitated tone.
Speaking to Lianhe Wanbao, Foyce said she had kept the SMSes Jack had sent her as evidence.
“It makes no sense that so many women besides me have accused him of sexual harrassment too. Jack’s denial shows that he still has not realized his mistake and remain unrepentant,” she added.
She insisted that she was quite traumatized by the recent turn of events and almost had a “mental breakdown” when she received phone calls from strangers warning her to “keep off” Jack Neo.
When told about Jack’s denial, Ms Lai who had earlier claimed that Jack got “special service” from her during a massage session in 1988 said:
“I know what I am saying. Only he and I know the truth.”
After keeping away from the limelight for a week since the scandal erupted, Jack finally broke his silence and spoke to the media, but it appeared no more than a publicity stunt win sympathy and to limit the damage done.

Jack Neo's Director - George Yeo or Pastor Kong???
Sometimes I am wondering??? Is George Yeo Jack Neo's director?
How come now Jack Neo dare to come out and defend himself saying things like he only cheated 1 girl and the rest are not true.
I believed Jack Neo is a fucking Chee Hong and an asshole. Even Moses Lim also doesnt like him at all. And Jack Neo now is giving people an impression that doing something wrong towards his family is ok. And he doesnt need to feel shameful about it. Jack Neo's should just kept silent and not coming out and trying to defend himself.
I think maybe that is the culture or way of doing things in the church he is attending City Harvest Church.
Just like Pastor Kong Hee's wife Sun Ho dressed very revealing in USA and Pastor Kong and his church members thinks it is all right and also felt proud of it.
So did Pastor Kong or George Yeo told him what to say in public or what???

Jack the serial sex predator can convince anybody
Dont blame Wendy Chong and some of the gals who came out to point at the serial sex predator ( it could be the tip of the ice-berg , there are more gals who are afraid to be identified for fear of shame and humiliation ), she is just about the age of JN's daughter , still naive and innocent ....who would not get excited if a famous producer with so many box office hits show interest in her? She gets to be ferried around in his moving motel ( toyota Alphard )which is very comfortable and has lots of privacy. With seats pushed aside , one can walk freely or sleep in this luxurious MPV. Like all young gals , you would not want to miss an opportunity like this to be in the company of a big "shot" , of cause she was eventually shot for 2 years and how can you let go when you have been so used to such good life and sweet words from the maestro? So when he wanted to drop her after getting tired and with more new gals coming onboard , she has to fight for her man of 2 years. Resorting to suicide threats or exposing him to his wife are the likely options , when JN defied her , she has no choice but to expose all.
This is a great act , since this brings to light the serial sex predator who has been preying on young gals who cross his path, he is already well known as a sex maniac during his army days and during working life but when he became famous and successful as a top producer here winning the Cultural Medallion , nobody ever thought of exposing him or talk bad about him for fear of being accused of defamation.Who would believe you if you go around talking bad about JN?I am quite sure it will not be easy for JN to strike again so easily and having been exposed , he will also be more careful.Perhaps going back to his old ways of visiting massage parlours will be his new move to avoid another scandal.
His poor wife is obviously unable to control him as he is the one that calls the shot , being arrogant and gifted with a fork tongue , he can talk a bird on a tree to come down , he is so talented in sweet talk that he can convince anybody , be it a labourer or a high powered person. If only he uses his talent in the right way , he will be very useful in society.
I am not sure if he will change for the better , but it is unlikely ....he may one day called upon in church to do testimony too . JN must really overcome his sex addiction first before anything else.
So dont get angry with those gals who dare to come out to confirm his flawed character , they sacrifice their image to prevend others from falling into his hands.

AWARE exploit the Jack Neo Saga and promote its own agenda
Jack Neo affair bares a problem that goes undetected
THERE are two issues that concern us in the Jack Neo affair.
First, it puts paid to the notion that a husband's extramarital affairs are acceptable as long as he is discreet. The public outcry shows that assumptions as to men and women's roles and responsibilities in the family have changed.
Women today will not swallow the pain and hurt of a betrayal without complaint. They will not accept that a husband's infidelity is 'unavoidable', no matter how successful he is. The strength and cohesiveness of families are dependent on both partners treating each other with love and respect.
Second, the drama has drawn attention to a problem which is common but rarely talked about: workplace sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment is any conduct of a sexual nature - verbal, visual or physical - that is unwelcome or offensive. This excludes any behaviour which is consensual - when both parties are willing, there is no harassment.
Some of the women involved reported that Mr Neo used the carrot of career promotions to get to know them. This is a classic form of sexual harassment known as 'quid pro quo' harassment, characterised by an authority figure offering a subordinate career benefits (for instance, 'a bigger role') in exchange for sexual favours.
It is not uncommon for a pattern of sexual harassment to go undetected for a long time. Many cases go unreported because victims feel isolated, blame themselves or simply are unsure they have been victimised.
Ms Maelle Meurzec, who was the subject of Mr Neo's attention when she was 16, described the feelings of many women in this situation: 'We want to tell ourselves that the man is only trying to be friendly. We are scared that we are over-analysing things.'
Sexual harassment is very common. In a 2008 study conducted by the Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware), 54 per cent of the 500 participants surveyed reported having been sexually harassed at work. This includes both men and women.
Anyone wondering whether they are being sexually harassed should not agonise in silence. They should consult friends, a trusted colleague, their human resource department or call Aware's helpline on 1800-7745935.

<!-- story content : start -->
MITSUBISHI Electric Asia, for whom film-maker Jack Neo has been endorsing the popular StarMex air-conditioners, has decided to end its working relationship with him.
The announcement came after news of Neo's adulterous affair with a 22-year old model broke last Saturday.
A spokesman for Mitsubishi Electric told Life yesterday: 'The company is in the midst of withdrawing all advertising materials using Jack Neo in them.'
Neo has been advertising the air-conditioners for at least two years. The advertisements have appeared on television and taxis.
The Mitsubishi spokesman added: 'We will not be renewing our engagement agreements with J Team Productions.' J Team is Neo's production company which also does talent management.
But other advertisers who have worked with the 50-year-old Cultural Medallion recipient are keeping their options open. Maid and foreign worker agency Jack Focus Helpers is still using his photographs on the main doors of its three offices in Bukit Timah Shopping Centre, Katong Shopping Centre and Hougang Green Shopping Mall.

Re: Aware Finally Speaks Out Against Jack Neo
This is good news but it is only the beginning.
The 154th have been very silent on the jackass and his sexual harassment and we shouldn't allow them to set the agenda. This message from AWARE should lead to more coverage on the topic and the jackass. The MIWs "tak boleh tahan" liao!
BUt more to come including the lack of sexual harassment laws under the PAPies.

Don't stop humtumming jackass! He is a PAPpy and we need to take this opportunity to whack the MIWs.
Don't comprain lah to cover other areas. Of course we have to cover other areas but we must not let this wonderful gift to die off without the PAPies losing more love and gaining more distrust on the ground.
The last 3 great scandals to hit Singapore involved people well connected to the PAPies. We had TT Durai, the fake Monk and now the jackass.
Isn't it a wonder that with so much power, the PAPies tend to embroil themselves with so much dirt?
Our fight is for Singaporeans, for Singaporeans to govern the country the way it has been mismanaged all these past 20+ years. OUr enemy are the PAPies and this jackass is a good weapon to use to whack the PAPies.
We have to vote out scums that are ruining our country and our society.
