Rajah & Tann - Conspiracy?
- Thread starter GoldenDragon
- Start date
When VK was first picked as JC, the fraternity was surprised. Not in the competency, academic or personality sense. It was because his father and old man had a bitter fall-out and rivalry over the attempted capture of PAP when it was a fledgling organisation. Father headed PAP for a few hours before the rebels threw in the towel. Eventually old man threw him into prison without trial and made him stateless (not over dual citizenship).
The move to bring in VK was traced to the need to make the economy attractive to MNCs to relocate their HQs to Singapore. BOA, VISA, MC, Caltex etc were all approached. The single factor that came thru was the jurisdiction of contracts. A judiciary tied to Lee and Lee and and a stable of MPs tied to. Drew and Napier and A&G was never going to pass muster. So they turned to well known rebel in the form of Rajah and Tann, both founders were ex -PAP and known leftist protected by Bank of China.
A new era was born. VK as expected was rapidly promoted to a judge and then surprisingly elevated to the Appellate Courts where h made his mark of dismantling ridiculous sentencing guidelines and decisions. The judges down the chain got the message.much of the damage was due to old man man and his wife' shyest friend Yong Pung How.
Menon is as apolitical as they come not by DNA but by choice. He was mentored early by Nicky Tan who is as political as they come. They did the high profile Barings case. Menon thru out his career had been low profile as he handled the big corporate cases.
Interestingly the world of Mamas converged when Menon was JC, Durai was sued by NKF and Shanmugam acted for the plaintiff. During the proceedings, Menon had to tell Shanmugam to behave himself.
Menon also spent his schooling life in western countries as his father was a diplomat. He does not tolerate abuse, rank pulling etc. During NS, he took a very senior Officer to task for abuse of sports facilities and the Sr Officer was actually disciplined. The guy abused his position to impress a young chick.
And the MNCs became happy. The PAP has never does anything without a clear agenda and money in mind.

Thanks. Enlightening to know the history behind.
Didn't the dean of the law faculty of HKU say that after a certain point in one's career, the quality of your guanxi becomes the one and only criterion for success?
You seem to know something about Tann Wee Tiong and his brother.

scroobal u should write a book about conspiracies and scandals of PAP......
even though i have no idea what u have just written.
even though i have no idea what u have just written.
Yes, sure to lose and he knows it.
why does PAP need VK to head this jurisdiction of contracts?
You are not the not the only bro. I myself have no idea what I wrote.
Here is another tidbit.
One day. I got a call from an Architects firm who were commissioned to do the BOC building near the river. The question is why Rajah and Tann so special. I enquired further and they told me that Beijing told them that Rajah and Tann is a valued partner. They had no idea what it meant. I told them just design the building everything else will fall into place.
I hope when VK retires, he will write his father' story and that special relationship that BOC and China had with the family when the father was in prison and the family was down to its knees.

Forget to mention that. Steven. Chong was also tapped from Rajah and Tann though he did not do well as AG. They started with Walter but that too did not work.
Yup, Steven was from the same law firm. Tried to change too many things as AG.
oh ok....so they were real actual suspected communists and had ties with China?dafug?
Just like the Game of Thrones.
do they slay dragons?
Wonder where next JC or HC judge will come from. Drew&Napier? Wongpartnership? Rodyck?
In those days if you were intelligent, well educated and had a social conscious, communism would certainly appeal to you. Especially when you studied in the UK where the capitalist were exploiting the everyone else while staying in huge countryside manors with a stable of staff. The rest of UK was struggling with polluted factories, smog and poor wages with no welfare, job protection etc. Marx founded Communism sitting in the middle of London and saw for himself.
Till today Communism is mesmerising to me. Unfortunately, they allowed uneducated arseholes and half educated students to join the cause. People like Chin Peng and his ilk committed atrocities like slitting the stomach of pregnant rubber tappers in Chinese villages to install fear so that they can get a ready supply of food for their soldiers. When they could no longer move in the Malaysian jungles, they turned on each other and had a series of purges and executed their own based on false confession and kangaroo justice. It ended up with 4 factions.
The families of fighters who were wrongly executed by their leaders have never found justice or closure. And we allowed Chin Peng to trapeze from Singapore to Canberra to London for fuck.
