Glenn Knight, The Prosecutor

[GoldenDragon]

Any bros read his book? Wonder if he made any comments on LKY in his book.

 

[hairylee]

Even if he got titanium balls, I doubt he would want to have anything to do with LKY again.

I wasn't aware of the Yong Punk How and Tan Khoon Swan 'connection' and GK meeting TKS a few years ago.

I saw the book in the library and browsed thru it. It's about the cases he had handled, nothing controversial or anything on his later life after he was charged.

GK was super powerful when he was DCAD. I recall even then CP also gave him face. He was destined for higher office. Maybe AG or SG or even a high court judge.

His offence doesn't appear so serious as to charge him in court. Many others were told to resign or retire for more serious offences. Though he claimed it wasn't political, I have my doubts.

A pity indeed. Am sure he is familiar with many controversial events and decisions from the MIW.

He is thanking his lucky stars that he got his practicing cert back.if it was Yong Pang Hau or Sundaresh Menon presiding, he will still be " out-lawed".

I understand Shanmugam played a key role. Defended GK in court previously. Second case I think.

Former top prosecutor Glenn Knight: No government involvement in my graft conviction

His downfall was not politically motivated, declares ex-public prosecutor Glenn Knight in his new book, Glenn Knight The Prosecutor.
It might have been because of the unhappiness of someone within the system, but it had nothing to do with the Government, says Mr Knight.
The book is his attempt to set the record straight.
Read the full report in The New Paper on Sunday (Sept 9).

Tan Koon Swan, Peter Tham and Pan El crises

GK was officially named as AG designate to takeover from the then retiring AG. During that time his wife was developing a resort on Bintan on a small scale. GK was seeking investors to pump in money and sought a number of people including Ng Ser Miang. Though no money was handed over he was charged for attempted cheating on the basis that other investors/partners had already committed when it was not the case. In the business world this is quite common and I have not seen prosecution or after this incident. GK also fucked up when he took a vehicle loan from the Govt and used the vehicle in an inappropriate manner.

It is believed that it was the then AG Tan Boon Teik has referred complaints from Indonesian businessmen that he was asking them for money for his resort that led to the investigation.

The whole case is shrouded in mystery and I suspect that GK has no clue or is not prepared to disclose. To his close friends he keeps mentioning about someone he upset. Whatever it is people were surprised that he pleaded guilty to a filmsy case.

Lawrence and CPIB are also clueless on why this even took place and I am sure that CPIB know that they were doing someone's else's dirty work. Lawrence Ang never made AG even though he was so excited about screwing GK.

If there is anyone to blame it has to be his wife. She thinks she was some sort of superb chef and thought that she could run a resort. Sadly GK was in love with another lady and that flame I understand is still on.

His downfall is Karma for distroying many families lives. More bad ones to come.

Who? Me? I never fell because I am at the bottom all along.

Yes, during his heydays he had very high IQ but very low EQ.
He was super efficient as a lawyer and prosecutor.
