Felicitations to you and your countrymen for the remarkable strides your country has made since then. Truly an inspiration to the world.<br /><br />The Maldives, a small nation, much like yours, had our first free and fair elections in 2008, and elected its first democratic leader, Mohamed Nasheed, who was ousted in a brutal coup in February of this year. As the chair of the inquiry commission who just yesterday flippantly ruled, amidst gifts of IPads and oranges, that it was not a coup but a legitimate resignation on the part of President Nasheed, despite his and half the public's cries for the most part of this year to the contrary, you must be very pleased that things went more or less smoothly and you could jet off to celebrate your independence.<br /><br />Never mind that we had the same dreams as Singaporeans, to be a respected force in the region, to have a strong economy, a strong society, a fair and just country and people's. You have effectively, in a few poorly researched and analyzed strokes, shattered those dreams for us. You have tied a noose around the neck of one man, who cared enough, with his life, to make things better for us. You sentenced behind bars, an island nations hopes and dreams of a free nation - free from fear, and intimidation, free to live an honest, incorruptible, simple but respectful life. By declaring the brutal events that transpired on February 7/8 in broad daylight, on national and international television as not a coup, you've tainted democracy for us. You killed the poor man. Oh, I wish you a good day celebrating your independence all right, but I hope these truths never let's your mind or your heart rest. Our spirits will forever haunt you, honorable judge.suny maldiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776656586535362529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-76981527170803036982012-08-26T12:04:55.648-07:002012-08-26T12:04:55.648-07:00AHMED FROM MALDIVES

Why, because they by extension of his disgraceful career benefit from it. It is like Josef Goebbels, Hitler's sidekick, placing his children in important lucrative positions and when exposed, to say, they had nothing to with it. <br /><br />His daughters could have publicly disowned their father or at least publicly disassociated themsleves from their father's actions. But they did not. And happily enjoy the privilages from their father's disgraced life. This is what I call shameful.Gopalan Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399145588654603667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-1758039256457745932012-07-13T20:19:28.023-07:002012-07-13T20:19:28.023-07:00Hello.

They have nothing to do with the case, and it is rather hypocritical to mention them when you have previously said GP Selvam himself "ordered the seizure of not only all [Tang's] bank assets, but also those of Tang's wife who had nothing to do with it". In the same way, GP Selvam's daughters have nothing to do with this case and by commenting about them you have brought innocent parties into the problem, the exact same way Selvam did.Audreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-49780818074398308142012-06-30T01:22:55.568-07:002012-06-30T01:22:55.568-07:00Hi Aishath and Gopalan,

Ong, a businessman, must have been very happy to sell 10+ properties at 20% discount costing him millions of dollars to Lee's extended family! <br /><br />In Parliament:<br />- Mr. Lee Kuan Yew said he did no wrong, but he and his son would return the discount nevertheless.<br />- He also conveyed to Singaporeans that his angry wife had told him that Singaporeans were UNGRATEFUL to him. <br /><br />Anyhow, Lee Suan Yew left the Board of Directors of the developer company quietly shortly thereafter.<br /><br />Koh Seng Beng - the MAS manager who reported to Richard Hu that the public was getting discontented with the huge discount - was transferred out of MAS soon.<br /><br />Richard Hu resigned and left politics.<br /><br />Lai Kew Chai, high court judge and good friend of Lee Kuan Yew, also brought a 20% discounted property. He sentenced Tang Liang Hong - the man who exposed that the Hotel Property purchases were not limited to just Lee and his son, but involved the extended family on both sides- to bankruptcy. He died soon thereafter in his 60s.<br />=========================Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-6063683067961219682012-06-28T21:57:54.286-07:002012-06-28T21:57:54.286-07:00To Aishath,

Perhaps he may have arranged the appointment of GP Selvam, but with the entire media in Singapore being state controlled, under a shroud of secrecy, we do not really know who is doing what as the state only tells you what they want you to know. <br /><br />It may well be that the Lee ruling family may themselves have major business interests there. But if anyone openly enquired, you would be sued and bankrupted by judges like this former GP Selvam.Gopalan Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399145588654603667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-47460177488847560182012-06-28T20:00:21.715-07:002012-06-28T20:00:21.715-07:00Mr Gopalan Nair, thank you for bringing this infor...Mr Gopalan Nair, thank you for bringing this information to us Maldivians. I would like to ask of you one question. The Vice President of the current coup Administration is a Mr Deen who has a business partner in Singapore, Mr.Ong Beng Seng of Hotel Properties Limited. Mr Ong has many investments in Maldives and was also a close friend of Fathuhulla Jameel, the long serving Foreign Minister during Maumoon's dictatorship. I think it is safe to assume Mr. Ong arranged for this corrupt Judge to be on this commission. Do you have any information on Mr. Ong regarding his involvement in politics?

Are you suggesting that a judge who abuses the law to destroy Lee's political opponents suddenly becomes impartial in a banking case? Is that what you want us to believe? Is that possible?Gopalan Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399145588654603667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-3573904261322024712012-06-24T23:32:52.250-07:002012-06-24T23:32:52.250-07:00Singapore’s legal system is considered "reput...Singapore’s legal system is considered "reputable" when it do not involved politics.<br /><br />But even that is now shaky under the weight of elitism.<br /><br />The most recent were two cases – one against a prominent doctor and the other a salesman – involving a similar offence, getting someone to take the rap for speeding offences.<br /><br />The salesman, Charlie Lim was sentenced to six weeks’ jail for having “intentionally perverted the course of justice”.<br /><br />However, well-known plastic surgeon Woffles Wu Tze Liang was charged under a different Act (“abetting” his employee to provide misleading information to the police – a less serious act) when he got his 75-year-old employee to take the rap for speeding – twice in two years. He drew only a $1000 fine.<br /><br />Another recent incident – outside the court – showed how a doctor can get softer treatment when he breaks the law.<br /><br />A staff nurse at a hospital who reported that a foreign doctor had touched her buttocks was reportedly “advised” not to lodge a police report.<br /><br />At the same hospital last year, another foreign doctor was charged with molesting a woman in the toilet but was cleared of the charge after he paid S$5,000 to the victim.
