Tan Chee Meng is well regarded in legal circles. He comes from a special cohort that was identified from the returned scholarship pool to do law and seed much needed expertise in the legal service. He aced the law courses. He in fact got 3 scholarships from this govt and he ended up in situation where he ignored what is an obligation by all citizens. Does not speak well for him.
Ha ha, he'll automatically be downgraded to PES C with modified BMT and serve as a clerk thereafter.
Tan Chee Meng only got 2 scholarships from the PAP lah. He got a Colombo Scholarship, to study at the University of Canterbury for his initial law degree. Then he got a Singapore govt Legal scholarship to study at NUS, which is to say he got nothing. He would have gotten into NUS on his own anyway, and NUS tuition fees in those days not that much. The scholarship was the cheapest the PAP can give out. He might as well not have taken it because of the bond he had to sign. the only significant scholarship he got was to study masters in law at Cambridge, that caused the govt some change.
He expected to be paid like he was in sg............... these fat hogs ae so used to over inflated pay for doing so little............ Sr Counsel can charge $2000 an hour which a lot more than high class prostitutes except for the one Trump was willing to pay 20k per nite???
That much for true value of our SrC

And yet he can't find a suitable job in Canada. This Chee Meng should renamed himself as Chee Bye. He is as much of a loser as his fat son.
It is mind boggling that any decent father would allow his child to become so fat and out of shape. My own kids are in good physical condition because I taught them since young that good physique and good health is very much part of winning. It's not just about studying.
Stop maluing screwbye every time by correcting his wrong info :P
There is something that is very amiss with this story. Not every thing is revealed. I met Tan Chee Meng some time ago when he was just starting out in WongPartnership. Former St. gab's old boy. I asked around with some guys in the legal profession.
It seems At one time, he was fed up with zikapore and like many sinkies made plans to migrate to Canada. The excuse of the his boys not being able to study chinese 2nd language is a semi bullshit one. he wife just did not want the 2 boys to do NS, and to live in SIngapore. They moved to Canada for a better life for the boys. The wife liked it there and he did not. I think at this point in time, the marriage was pretty much estranged. So he moved back here and send some money over there, where she continued to stay with the boys.
After he came back, his career really took off. At one time, he was a counsel in the AG's office. These people prosecuting his son were his co-workers at one time. This guy is as PAP white as they come. He has represented SMC, SLA and was even a deputy director of the CAD. this guy is easily a PAP MP material. Now he is a senior partner at WongPartnerships. That is a multimillion dollar a year job. I mean this guy is really really connected. I suspect what happened was that he told the sons he could really hook them up well in singapore, like really put them into positions of importance in whatever industry they wanted to here in singapore. they would make many times what they make in Toronto with his connections. But the problem is they have to come back and face the NS music. this whole trial is just wayang. But is needed for show to proof that there is no favouritism.
But there already is. His son is a White Horse in NS now. And downgraded to PES B or C. Who the hell serves as a preventive medicine technician if you are not downgraded? The sentence will be guilty but will be a light slap on the wrist for the son with a minimal punishment. Most like a fine. Tan Chee Meng is not even taking the trial very seriously, as he asked his colleague Josephine Choo to defend his son. She is a legal lightweight, not a high powered senior counsel and she does a lot of pro bono work. She probably took the case for him for no fee or a little fee. Wouldn't surprise me if tan Chee Meng has a mistress in singapore, knowing how randy lawyers are.
It does not mean he cannot find a job in canada, he jolly well might have, but there could be other factors for him not to stay. I know some sinkies that came back because of the cold. but he will not tell you that. He will just use no job as an excuse and not show the world he is a pussy by saying the weather is too cold for him.
Srewbye must be jealous of your inside news.
He out of touch now and has resorted to fake inside news to keep his "credibility". Even his clone malu him by saying terrex already back and few days later arrogant hen appeared in news to say terrex not back. If all fails, he twists here and there like a triple head snake.
No wonder he got mad at me and vented on me with his stupid hypothetical Liaoning sinking thread. LOL

this is official release from mindef on jan-16, 2006. not all cases ended up serving time in jail nor serving ns. it's case by case basis, and if subject is already a citizen overseas with only minor paperwork not fulfilled, e.g. failed to register for ns or seek deferment, it's a fine for one-time defaulters. most will have to serve out their ns liability, but some don't need to depending on circumstances. scrooball after reading this will go into a fit and twist and turn again.
"Over the past 20 years, 185 NS defaulters have been convicted in Court for Enlistment Act offences. Of these, 43 received jail sentences, 140 were fined and two were punished in connection with other civil offences. Of the 140 who were fined, 35 were ultimately jailed when they did not pay their fines."
"Of the 185 convicted defaulters, 127 were enlisted or are awaiting enlistment for National Service following their convictions. Two were supposed to enlist but defaulted again prior to their enlistment. 33 were not drafted as they were unsuitable for enlistment for security or medical reasons - they would not have been enlisted in any case even if they had not defaulted on NS. The remaining 23 were not drafted because they were either above the statutory age limit or no longer Singaporeans."
