He also writes political commentaries for The Nut Graph, Selangor Times, Malaysiakini amongst others.
Ms Teo Soh Lung is author of the book Beyond the Blue Gate published in 2010. The book is a recollection of her experience as a political prisoner in 1987. A year earlier, Ms Teo had a robust debate with the former prime minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew over the Legal Profession Amendment Bill which sought to further control the profession. Ms Teo is a founder member of the social enterprise, Function 8 Limited which aims to share experiences through talks and discussions as well as publications.
Mr Tan Wah Piow is former student leader who was persecuted by the Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore government. He was jailed in 1975 on trumped-up charges. In 1976 he went into exile in the UK, where he now practices law. In 1987 Singapore accused him of being a “Marxist” mastermind, an allegation he refutes in his book Smokescreens & Mirrors. Tan calls for a campaign to restart, rejuvenate and reclaim the Constitution in Singapore.
