Crimes and "Justice" in Singapore...?

[Christopher LINGLE]

This cri du coeur was sent to me from a gentleman in Singapore with whom I
have been in contact over the Internet...just to be sure, I had asked
several friends in Singapore to look into the claims made herein...they told
me that this document had been circulating around Singapore with the man's
Identity Number on it...which is a pretty brave act, in itself, given the
incredible story he tells...I have done no editting of the text...it is long
and a bit convoluted in places, but the claims are rather interesting and
all to familiar....

NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW IN SINGAPORE

Four years had passed SINCE A SURGEON SECRETLY REMOVED MY WIFE'S OVARIES
AND PORTION OF HER FALLOPIAN TUBES. Despite all our effort to bring him
to justice, this evil doctor who is a relative of Lee Kuan Yew is
unpunished; protected by the PAP; and still roam free to cut-up and hurt
more innocent women.

I am writing this letter to inform Singaporeans of the hidden truth in our
legal & medical systems. There is legal and social discrimination practised
by the PAP government. Should ever you or your loved ones be abused or going
to be abused by members of this "special" group, there is now nothing left
to protect the common people of Singapore.

My awakening started in May 1993 when my wife approached a new gynaecologist
to follow-up on her treatement after the first operation in June 1992 by DR.
GORDON TAN WEE TECK OF JOY CLINIC FOR WOMEN IN GLENEAGLES MEDICAL CENTRE.
The new gynaecologist refused to treat my wife because she was astonished to
discover that my wife still have her right ovary which Gordon Tan falsely
advised to be removed in 1992. The new doctor insisted that my wife go back
to Gordon Tan immediately to get his medical report to verify the details of
his alleged surgical removal. When my wife approached Dr. Tan, in order to
destroy the evidence against him (ie. the right ovary), he threatened my
wife to go for an immediate surgery in his BALESTIER HOSPITAL of which he is
a substantial shareholder at the material time. We later found out that
Gordon Tan had specially arranged to operate on my wife without any
witnesses i.e. without a surgical assistant during his fast 30-minute
operation. Several doctors later
advised us that there was no indication of cancer or for this surgery.

According to a professor of gynaecology, Gordon Tan Wee Teck's alleged
operation would normally take about 2 hours and could not be completed in
such a short time. According to other senior gynaecologists, they are even
more astonished as to why Gordon Tan Wee Tech did not report nor removed
several fibroids (non-cancerous muscular growths) which were already growing
on my wife's uterus during his 1993 surgery. Amazingly, Gordon Tan Wee Teck
ran away from the hospital immediately after his surgery even without going
to check on his patient after his operation. He did not even dare to answer
my paging that night when I try to contact him regarding the details of his
operation.

Suspiciously, this surgeon abandoned his patient and avoided post surgical
treatment for my wife. 26 days after the operation, after leaving several
telephone and fax messages in his clinic, Gordon Tan Wee Teck reluctantly
agreed to see me where he issued a false Medical Report stating that my wife
still had a normal and healthy left ovary and normal left fallopian tube.
Dr. Gordon Tan Wee Teck wanted to prevent my wife from finding out about the
missing left ovary and missing outer portion of her fallopian tube from
other gynaecologists, so he worte a REFERRAL LETTER FROM BALESTIER HOSPITAL
for my wife to consult instead to a Chinese sin-seh (his close associate)
for better gynaecological treatment than his clinic could provide. Later,
we obtained documented medical reports & medical expert's opinions that
after Gordon Tan's 1993 operation, all my wife's ovaries and outer portion
of both her fallopian tubes were secretly removed and disposed by Gordon Tan
Wee Teck in his operations in his Balestier hospital.

After this 1993 operation, my wife suffered tremendously from serious post
surgical complications and from severe abdominal pains due to the un-removed
uterine fibroids. Because she did not know that Gordon Tan Wee Teck had
removed all her ovaries, she suffered from numerous symptoms of sudden
menopause and could not even get appropriate care and proper treatment.

Presently, my wife suffers from certified major depression because she could
not understand why Gordon Tan Wee Teck committed such inhuman and unprovoked
attacks on her. From medical expert's opinion received, we are informed
that this is not the first nor the last time that this surgeon will abuse
his patients.

When my wife approached M/S DREW & NAPIER for legal advice, she was assigned
a very young and inexperience lawyer, a GREGORY GANESAMOORTHY VIJAYENDRAN. This
firm advised my wife to sue Gordon Tan Wee Teck and my wife agreed to follow
their advice. Before agreeing to file the High Court Case, this young
lawyer confirmed to us in writing that there was no conflict of interest of
his firm in representing my wife's case against a relative of Lee Kuan Yew
and that his draft of the Statement of Claim was approved by his team
leader, who was an experienced partner in his firm and had handled several
medical negligent cases.

However, immediately after filing the HIGH COURT WRIT, SUIT NO. 195 OF 1994,
against Gordon Tan, this lawyer could not justified his own allegations in
his filed statement of claim. Gordon Tan Wee Teck took advantage of this
designed confused situation and filed in numerous false documents to the
High Court to support his defence. This included a false Surgical Consent
Form from his Balestier hospital purportedly signed by my wife. But despite
our instructions, Drew & Napier refused to lodge in court an official
protest against these forgeries.

Another independent legal firm advised us that for some reason, strangely
Drew's written legal advice to my wife and their filed Statement of Claim
were very negligent and improper which tried to render my wife's case with
little or no chance of winning in court. When I finally get an appointment
to meet his team leader to try to rectify the problems, to my surprise, the
team leader was DAVINDER SINGH, a PAP member. During the meeting, Davinder
Singh allegedly claimed that although he was the team leader in charge, he
did not approved nor even read Gregory's statement of claim. This was
contrary to his firm's earlier advice. He advised that his firm now wants to
terminate their service immediately despite the fact that their client was
put into serious trouble by his firm's irresponsible and dishonest service.
He only wanted to terminate his responsibilities to his client. Davinder
Singh was persistent that it was pointless to discuss further about the
conflict of interest nor negligent service by his firm. This legal firm
rapidly discharged themselves and abandon my wife without legal court
representation. About this time, domestic harassment started - dead birds
and rubbish started appearing outside our doors, and mysterious men started
to wait patiently in our car park facing our flat. To this day, domestic
harassment still continued.

We approached many legal firms to try to rectify the damages done by
Davinder Singh's team. One firm took my wife's money of $20,000 and
contracted to take over her case. Less than four days later, we were
summoned by these lawyers and were surprised to be advised to discontinue my
wife's High Court case immediately. The lawyers seem scared and nervous.

When we approached RAMANATHAN PALAKRISHNAN of PALAKRISHNAM & PARTERS, he
referred my wife to his medical expert's opinion, a DR. LEAN TYE HIN of
CLINIC 33 AT UOL BUILDING. Together they tricked my wife to agree to an
exploratory surgery in Thomson Medical Centre on 7 July, 1994. They claimed
that they needed medical evidence to use in my wife's court case. However,
during the surgery, Dr. Lean Tye Hin instead instructed the operating
surgeon to completely removed all my wife's reproductive organs in order to
hide and completely destroy all further evidence against Gordon Tan Wee
Teck. It is documented that the operating surgeon initially disagreed and
argued against Dr. Lean's instruction. On the morning of the 10th October
1994 in Palakrishnan's office, I found out from obtained documented medical
report that Dr. Lean Tye Hin and Dr. Kee Swee Hae had issued falsed surgical
report in order to prevent us from finding out that Gordon Tan Wee Teck had
also secretly removed my wife's outer protion of her left fallopian tube.
While I was engaged with other lawyers in their meeting room with this new
information, another lawyer from this firm, a SUNIL EMANUEL, asked my wife
to go this office to speak to her in private where he relayed a series of
threats against her from the Lee's. My wife was shocked and left his room
crying to inform me of these threats. I immediately returned with my wife
and asked him to repeat his threats. Sunil said that he is a personal good
friend of Gordon Tan Wee Teck and the Lee Kuan Yew's family, particularly to
his wife, KWA KIM LI, a partner of LEE & LEE and niece to MRS LEE KUAN YEW
and to Dr. KWA SOON BEE (the brother-in-law of Lee Kuan Yew) - the Permanent
Secretary of Health. Sunil relayed that if my wife continue to push her case
further, then Lee Kuan Yew and his family will kill us, we will be
persecuted by the government, etc. I told him that we can go to the CHIEF
JUSTICE and to GOH CHOK TONG against these lawlessness. Sunil said that our
protests were pointless as the CJ is placed by Lee Kuan Yew and our PM does
not have the courage to stand up against the Lee's. (This event and all the
threats were Statutory Declared and copies sent to the CJ, Lee Kuan Yew, Ong
Teng Cheong, Goh Chok Tong, George Yeo, the Police, etc). Sunil also
accurately predicted that the PRELIMINARY PROCEEDINGS COMMITTEE of the
Singapore Medical Council will dismiss all our complaints regarding this
case because of Dr. Kwa Soon Bee's influence in the Council.

RAMANATHAN PALAKRISHNAN and his agent used numerous tactics to force my wife
(his client) to discontinue her High Court case. It is documented that they
tried to destroy their own client's medical evidence, deliberately delayed
High Court proceedings, made false representations to their clients, used
physical & mental duress tactics against his own client. Finally,
Palakrishnan and his appointed agent after demanding and taking full payment
for their court services, then demanded that my wife to discontinue her High
Court case as they claimed that Dr. Lean Tye Hin's life was also now
threaten by Lee Kuan Yew and his family and that there is nothing (evidence)
left on paper after their 1994 operation. They said that they refused to
further support my wife's High Court case and to bring this case to trial.
Dr. Lean Tye Hin again warned my wife that we will be killed if we persisted
in this case and "all her husband's wealth will go" should she dare to go to
trial.

During their mental harassment, Dr. Lean Tye Hin unwittingly identified one
of the Lee's instigators as Dr. Kwa Soon Bee. Dr. Lean said happily that Dr.
Kwa Soon Bee now owed him several favours should my wife give him (Dr. Lean
Tye Hin) authority to discontinue her case. We tried but could not find a
honest lawyer in Singapore to take over the case from Palakrishnan. Some
lawyers even advised that despite our solid documented evidence and reports
plus the documented medical expert's opinions of the numerous crimes
committed by Gordon Tan Wee Teck - "a cast iron case" described by several
senior lawyers & gynaecologists - but as this is a Lee Kuan Yew's case, no
lawyer in Singapore could dare to try to win this case in our type of legal
system. Another senior lawyer, who is also a member of the Council of the
Law Society advised my wife to discontinue her case and instead leave
retribution to punish Gordon Tan Wee Teck. The Law Society of Singapore seem
to lost all faith in their trade, their law and our legal system.

When I wrote to LEE KUAN YEW enclosing the Statutory Declared Sunil's
threats, regarding the use of his name to threaten the public, he kept
silence. I know now that no one in Singapore will dare to use the name of
Lee Kuan Yew without his prior approval and consent. The CJ's office
advised me later that the CHIEF JUSTICE does not want to get involved in
this matter when his name is used to obstruct justice in the High Court of
Singapore. The PRESIDENT and the MINISTERS OF LAW AND HEALTH, refused even
to acknowledge our concern for
the collapse of the legal & health systems in Singapore and that there is no
real protection for the common people of Singapore.

The MINISTER OF HEALTH kept silence regarding my reports and Statutory
Declaration of executive corruption and mismanagement within his own
ministry. Astonishingly, the PRIME MINISTER's office advised me that the PM
alleged understood my feeling and proceeded to advise me to forget about the
past and to think of the future. He blatantly declared that our case is
then closed. With respect only to his official position, I feel that for
our country to go forward, we must not let the old ways dictate our
country's future. Goh Chok Tong should try to develop the courage and the
honesty to uphold fair justice for all. I further tested the
non-independence of our legal system by approaching the following
organisations.

The PRELIMINARY PROCEEDINGS COMMITTEE (PPC) of the "SINGAPORE MEDICAL
COUNCIL" - the latter a seemingly non-existing legal entity (Medical
Registration Act, Section 3(1)), dismissed our complaint against Dr. Gordon
Tan Wee Teck and ridiculously declared that there was no misconduct. The
PPC's decision was against our obtained documented medical and legal
opinions. To reach their corrupted objective, the PPC even wilfully
accepted false statement and documentation from Gordon Tan Wee Teck despite
official notice and protest from our lawyer. The LAW SOCIETY OF SINGAPORE
fired series of technical questions which intended to try to frustrate,
discourage and deliberately delay legitimate complaints from the public lay
person against their members.

Palakrishnan, himself a Council member, through his agent had boasted that
the Law Society lacked the independence to investigate into their member's
misconduct as this act would exposed the Lee's involvement in this criminal
and High Court Case. This boast by this corrupted & deplorable Council
member of the Law Society of Singapore is proven accurate. The SINGAPORE
POLICE FORCE was expecting me to make my complaint in February 1996.. They
seem to be anticipating my complaint and without needing to check on my
identity card, allowed me to file my police report. But they blatantly
refused to accept any of my evidence against Gordon Tan Wee Teck and his
agents. After a long seven-month delay, I was instructed to sign a series
of their specially prepared statements; each signing must be done on
different days and I was denied assess to any of my notes and records, and
the previously signed
statements. DSP HENRY SOH OF TANGLIN POLICE STATION, the same officer selected
to handle the Christopher Lingle's and other politically sensitive cases,
said that he preferred that I only come to his station on Sundays to sign
his statements as there will be less police personnel around. Their
statements also tried to denied my civil rights to file criminal assult charges
against Gordon Tan Wee Teck. When I protested and refused to sigh, Henry
became so agitated that he tore up his special statements with disgust.

Amazingly, I learnt that even before the police verified my personal
identity and before I have the chance to read and sign any of their
specially prepared statements - Henry had already "interviewed" most of the
name accused. Henry Soh smugly threatened me that if I should continue with
this report, a police warrant of arrest will be issued instead against my
wife whom he knew is suffering from certified major depression.

Notices had been served to me by Balestier hospital and by the Governemnt's
expensive lawyers that if I were to continue to publish this cause to any
other parties, I will be sued - for telling the truth.

The threats and oppression against the common people are now openly made in
Singapore. The PAP government expects that the local media will not inform
the population about this type of political injustice and immoral legal
discrimination. They also expect that the public authorities and
professional bodies will not protect these abused victims.

What they are doing is immoral and wrong. We must never accept that certain
people are above the law. If anyone knowingly commit a crime againts the
innocents in Singpaore, they must be subjected to legal punishment -
regardless of their political status or social connections. The root issue
is about human lives and human sufferings inflicted by criminals with
medical licences
to cut up innocnt women - not about social disgrace to the almighty PAP group.

In order to protect ONE delinquent relative of the PAP from criminal
punishment, they had turned a simple criminal case into a political one. I
believe that some day soon, Section 12 of the Constitution of the Republic
of Singapore which promised Singaporeans that "All People Are Equal before
the law" will eventually be upheld up a honest and moral Government; and all
its agencies.

Legal discrimination must be fought in our country. KINDLY CONSIDER
CIRCULATING THIS LETTER TO SOMEONE WHO MIGHT NEED TO KNOW. I sincerely believe
that this letter could help them or their loved ones to avoid some of the
hidden dangers in our society. If any of these medical victims also chose
to fight for their promised but denied constitutional rights and for their
human dignities, that they will need to know exactly who they will be
fighting against.

Ever since I first started mass circulating this message, I have received
numerous letters of encouragement from the public. Although many had sent
their letters anonymously, their sincere remarks and constructive
suggestions have greatly strengthen our beliefs that most Singaporeans have
the conscience and the courage not to willingly accept such injustice and
legal insanity in our nation. Throughout history, all injustice will some
day end. Until that just day arrives, I will continue to wonder how many
more innocent women must be secretly killed or crippled by this licensed
butchery cover-up system?
