What Young Voters Need To Know About Tony Tan

[scroobal]

Good points.

Tony Tan spent nearly 18years fiddling with the education system especially tertiary education even when he did run MOE. When Tharman became Minister for Education, Tony Tan as DPM asked for and received responsibilities for tertiary institution.

This chap ended up forcing many of our young to go overseas where they easily got into well known unis at considerable cost. Only when he was about to retire did they discover there were not enough places. Making it worse was the secret quota of 10% for Malaysians who in some cases had worse entry grades.

Unlike GKS and Raja, TT's contributions were more towards dismantling and tweaking systems that brought Singapore forward since Independence. The Singapore of today was partly due to TT's efforts and no thanks to him, our school beget Elitism, our CPF no longer offers a safety net for our retirement, our HDB becomes unaffordable and we have an influx of new citizens and FTs.

Singaporeans stood together to deny the MIW from a clean sweep during the 2011 GE. Our efforts to gain more opposition seats were foiled due to the gerrymandering and other obstacles put in place to ensure they will win. Who was the man in charge of SPH who were helping the MIW during GE? This time, for the election of the EP, Singaporeans should be more determine to deny the MIW to put in place someone who was instrumental in denying us our rights.

In conclusion, I had in the beginning decided to spoil my vote for the coming EP elections as we all know anyone that is the next EP will be helpless. I have changed my mind and will vote anyone who is not Tony Tan.

The attack on Tang was unprecedented. They called in the tax department with no basis immediately after the elections. Tang fled to JB first. He stayed with a Malay family who were his life long friends putting paid to the allegation that he was a Chinese chauvinist. It later emerged that Tang had taken up Indian classical dancing in his younger days.

The Tang case is unusual for the important fact that the PAP could not prove a single allegation against him.

Tony Tan is no different he too was happily suing and destroying the opposition. Old man after the introduction of legislating to control the press named 5 men to keep an eye on the press - Lim Kim San, Chiang Chie Foo, Nathan, Alan Chan and Tony Tan. 2 were his close confidantes in cabinet, 2 were heads of Intelligence and one was his PPS.

And Tony Tan today has the audacity to say that he is independent and no one asked him to run.

Like George Yeo, Tony Tan is no angel. The oldies know about their abusive, egregious history.



""
The report was against 11 PAP leaders who had alleged that the WP man was an anti-Christian, anti-English-educated Chinese chauvinist, who could cause social and racial disharmony.

In his report, made at Kreta Ayer neighbourhood police post, Mr Tang said that their allegations and statements were groundless and were intended to harm his reputation and to defame him.

He also claimed that their actions and statements were likely to "incite religious extremists to hate me and cause harm to me and members of my family".""

More revelations on Tony Tan and Lee Hsien Loong's involvement in the infamous Cheng San campaign as well as the aftermath

http://thesatayclub.net/2011/06/cheng-san-pap-dirty-tricks-revisited/

I agree with the sentiments expressed by the article.. it's too risky to have both of them hold the two highest offices in Singapore. Note that they were both DPMs during the Cheng San incidents.

He shld have stayed to fight the case. Running away gave the MIW some moral high ground.

Some say he was the "FATHER" of all the ah lians, & Ah bengs, also the founder of SINGLISH & brought up a generation of people, with very low or no, moral values...is this what we want?

The ghosts of Cheng San came back & haunt Georgie Yeo Boy & company...

I remember 1997 very well, Cheng San GRC was the hottest potato in the history of General Election at the time. The WP came very close to winning Cheng San GRC despite the old man and GCT's heavy campaigning efforts to shore up their own GRC team.

The WP came so close to winning and the PAP came so close to losing Cheng San that what happened aftermath was nothing short of a TV drama

- Cheng San GRC dissolved at the next GE
- JBJ and Tang Liang Hong being sued for millions (one got bankrupt and one fled and still in exile today)
- the repercussions of standing against the PAP was so heavy that opposition politics in Singapore was effectively muted for 9 years

:(

I'm still trying to understand how a lawyer who speaks and writes excellent english, learns indian dance and stays with his malay friends, is a chinese chauvinist.

Every 2 weeks he visit TONI & GUY for his hair cut

How Tony Tan and his pack of fellow PAP attack dogs abused, bullied and terrorised Tang Liang Hong's innocent wife and daughter.

Teo Siew Har was an everyday, ordinary Singaporean living an everyday, ordinary life as a dutiful wife and mother. She is the type of unsophisticated Aunty, Ah Soh, Mak Cik or Ahchi we see in the wet markets and hawker stalls in Singapore.

Should there not be a limit to the depth of depravity that you will sink to in ganging with your fellow PAP thugs to terrorise the wife of your political opponent Tony?

Have you no shame and decency, you depraved, malicious bastard?

"...On 27 January 1998, the PAP Government demonstrated its prowess in its attack against its opposition. On that evening, my wife together with my daughter intended to pay a visit to my personal good friend, Mr. Abdul Razak Ahmad at his home in Johor Bahru during Ramadan fasting month. They were stopped at the Singapore exit point at the causeway by immigration officers who disallowed them to leave Singapore. They searched my wife’s handbag and confiscated her passport.

On her return home at midnight from the immigration office at the causeway, a group of lawyers representing Lee Kuan Yew and the other PAP leaders in their multiple defamation suits against me, were waiting for my wife at our doorstep.

It turned out that on that the PAP leaders had obtained 13 Mareva Injunctions against us on the ground (alleged by Lee Kuan Yew in his affidavit without evidence or poor quality of evidence if the were evidence at all). These injunctions froze all my assets up to the limit of S$ 11.2 million and demanded that I had to disclose my assets on a world basis under oath. Those lawyers also served on her copies of 13 Writs of Summonses (including HPL case for which I was allowed to engage a Queen’s counsel in June 1996 ). The 13 Mareva injunctions also made my wife a second defendant of the 13 lawsuits against me for defamation which do not concern her at all.

The13 Mareva injunction orders also froze all her assets on a world wide basis up to the limit of S$ 11.2 million. The injunction orders also demanded her to disclose all her assets by way of an affidavit to be filed with 4 days from 27 January 1998. Lee Kuan Yew alleged without any basis that my wife had held all her assets as trustee for me..."

There was nothing to fight. They were out to destroy him. Even if he fought, it will not be fair fight. Phey Yew Kok, the fugitive PAP MP was allowed to go to Taiwan to have new life.

He shld have stayed to fight the case. Running away gave the MIW some moral high ground.
