Re: Waste of coroner's time: Yankee Go Home!

Nelson Lee, a private psychiatrist who treated Shane Todd two months before his death, said he diagnosed the 31-year-old American with major depression

I smell fish here....is this the standard practice of doctors to let patient with major depression go just like that?

That does not mean he could not have killed himself. And the parents--are they paying for this whole bill? What if they weren't Americans?

Tearful Father of Shane Todd Says Family Trusts Court


A tearful Rick Todd publicly apologized on behalf of his wife who had called the Singapore court system “corrupt” as a much-watched inquiry into the death of their son, an American scientist working on sensitive research, finished its fourth day.

“We’d just seen a lot of pictures of our son – our dead son – and it was a very emotional morning. We’re sorry the word ‘corrupt’ came out, and we have faith in the Singapore court system,” he said Thursday to reporters.

His wife Mary had called the Singapore court process “corrupt” when speaking to reporters earlier Thursday.

Shane Todd’s body was found in his apartment last June 24, days after he had quit his job with the Singapore-run Institute of Microelectronics. Singapore police and forensic investigators have presented evidence to the court inquiry suggesting that Mr. Todd hanged himself. Mr. Todd’s parents say they believe he was murdered and will have a chance to lay out their case next week, which is the second and final week of the inquiry. A coroner’s determination of the cause of death is expected in late June.

On Thursday, a psychiatrist who had treated Shane Todd told the court he hadn’t seen signs Mr. Todd was contemplating suicide.

Nelson Lee, a private psychiatrist who treated Shane Todd two months before his death, said he diagnosed the 31-year-old American with major depression.

But Mr. Lee told the court that at the time of that meeting, he did not consider Mr. Todd a suicide risk.

“No suicidal ideation, no plans of self-harm,” Mr. Lee wrote in an April 2012 letter to the physician who had referred Mr. Todd to him.

Lawyers for the Todd family said Thursday that evidence found in Shane’s apartment showed that he had been packing and making arrangements to sell furniture. Their questions in court focused on indications that Mr. Todd’s stress and anxiety was job-related, which could have been relieved when Mr. Todd left his job at the Institute for Microelectronics.

In addition, on June 21, three days before his body was found, Mr. Todd was offered a job by Nuvotronics, a Radford, Va.-based developer of radio frequency and defense technology, according to a letter presented in court Thursday. He accepted the job offer.

A California-based technology company rejected Mr. Todd’s job application around the same time, Mrs. Todd told The Wall Street Journal.

The inquiry continues Friday.

No doubt there are flaws in Singapore's justice system. Truths are known.

For this arrogant ang moh to come here to state that is something else. Who is she--so Deity? She's bloody lucky she's given the opportunity in the first place for her son to work in Singapore. it was his choice. If you feared it was about spying or military stuff--why didnt you tell your esteemed Obama before letting your son work here? Now you come here and call it corrupt. Who's government is corrupt to violate international law and invade Iraq?

Re: Waste of coroner's time: Yankee Go Home!

do tell us all u blind fucker. if America not big fuck, u think SG will bother to investigate

PAP has fucked u big time.

It is in the first place Todd's fault for choosing Singapore to work in. He has a PhD--cannot find work at home is it? Means he is a lousy person or his government is lousy. Then come here die and parents can make big hoo hah.

Re: Waste of coroner's time: Yankee Go Home!

america always has this big fuck mentality. when things happen to them, they get so victimised and the world must sympathise with them. think 911. think boston bombing. it is as if only they are suffering and other parts of the world are fine and dandy.

PHUI!

Yes. If he was say German or French or any other westerner, the family would not have even raised the issue.

Re: Waste of coroner's time: Yankee Go Home!

america is the land of conspiracies. they can't handle the truth even when its staring them in the face.

Yes like WMDs in Iraq, like Obama is a Muslim, etc etc

Re: Waste of coroner's time: Yankee Go Home!

That's rubbish. That's human rights for you. They are spending their hard earned money to pursue a closure for their son's death. If your favorite govt wants to open the floodgates to foreigners, they will have to deal with the human rights issue most developed countries have.

We dont know who is footing the bill for all this. And why in the first place an American gets such treatment.

Yeah right everything in Singapore is so transparent.

Re: Waste of coroner's time: Yankee Go Home!

An angmo cannot take the stressful working environment in Singapore and took his own life. Simple as that. The parents still in denial and cannot accept the fact that their son cannot make the grade. The parents are hallucinating that his son is so important that someone want their son dead. Same like they hallucinating about their imaginary invisible friend from above looking after them.

He could not make the grade back home--choose to work in Singapore as first job. Thne die here and parents chase as if this is what? North Korea? Would they have raised the case had the country of death been a Western country?

For God sake Shane Todd is the victim.

Why you talk as if he is the perpetrator?

Where is your sense of decency?

Todd Case-if it murder due to attempt transfer of technology then why America praising Singapore as key partner to counter China? If the Todd are correct, what else can they do? Topple the government?

The US can do nothing to sinkapore ...just cut off technology transfer. No big deal for sinkapore ...AStar has all these Indians & Chinese researchers that will develop the technology for MINDEF. Also, China will always take care of its future province.

Shane Todd cover up - The contradictions emerge

Previously, IME said that they approached Huawei and the latter turned them down. Now, it is revealed that there was collaboration!

Two of the colleagues that testified are originally from PRC.

The technology that IME acquired had dual uses. That's why the vendor had limited IME's access to the technology. Since the material is used for radar and satellite communication, it is totally bs for IME to say that the technology was not military or sensitive research.

Shane Todd inquiry: IME and Huawei collaboration limited to tests, preliminary talks

Witness Yuan Li, Shane Todd's colleague, is seen leaving the subordinate courts on May 17, 2013. He is one of three of Shane Todd's colleagues at IME who told the inquiry that the institute was not involved in any military or sensitive research involving the semiconductor material Gallium nitride (GaN), as suggested in a February article by the Financial Times on his death.

Dr Susai Lawrence Selvaraj, Dr Yuan Li and Dr Wang Wei Zhu from Dr Todd's GaN research group at IME, said such sensitive research was not possible as their team was in its infancy when Dr Todd was employed, and the operating speed of the devices that IME was focusing on was too slow for military applications.

SINGAPORE - Colleagues of a US scientist found hanged in Singapore last year told a coroner's inquiry Friday he was not involved in projects with military applications and was never asked to compromise any country's national security.

High-tech researcher Shane Todd, whose death under disputed circumstances last June sparked global media attention, was part of a research team working on gallium-nitride (GaN), a semiconductor that can be used in radar and satellite communications.

Todd's parents allege their son was murdered after he had grown anxious the project he was working on for the Institute of Microelectronics (IME) was linked to a Chinese telecoms firm and could endanger US national security.

Medical experts have said that an autopsy report point to a suicide, but the family, backed by senior US officials, asked for a deeper probe.

"During his time at the IME, Shane was never asked to do anything that would compromise the national security of any country," Patrick Lo, deputy executive director for research at the institute, told the inquest on its fifth day.

"Shane was also never asked to obtain restricted or classified information and to provide them to other countries," said Lo, who was Todd's immediate superior.

The coroner's inquiry, which is due to last until May 28, will determine the cause of his death.

At the time of his death at age 31, Todd had just finished a stint with the IME, where he was part of a team working on GaN.

His former colleagues however told the inquiry there was nothing sinister about the project and that research on GaN is commonplace in the industry.
