Chee claims ZB interview implied he was anti-S'pore
THE report, 'Chee on foreign funds, Chiam's exit from SDP' (March 1), stated: 'In the (Lianhe Zaobao) article, the interviewer asked him (Dr Chee Soon Juan) about rumours that he had been able to engage in civil disobedience and other activities here because he received financing from foreign donors.
'The article said that, after much probing, he replied: 'I am an academic, and will occasionally receive research funding from overseas. I have written award-winning books, and have taken part in overseas research programmes.'�
'But Dr Chee did not say what the research entailed. All he would say was: 'Maybe research like human behaviour.''
The way that the report is written is clearly an attempt to portray me as being evasive about my income. I had told the Zaobao reporter, Ms Yew Lun Tian, clearly that I depended on my books and from time to time, help from my relatives for survival.
Because she found it hard to believe that this was sufficient, I told her that we lived simply and frugally.
At one point, she said she felt embarrassed about having to ask me where I lived and what kind of HDB flat I lived in.
This is an indication that she was aware that she was probing into my personal matters. Nonetheless, I obliged her by answering her question.
Yet Ms Yew reported it in such a way that I was trying to avoid her answer and had something to hide.
What is left unsaid, although clearly implied, is that I may be a stooge of a foreign agent conducting activities against Singapore.
This is the favoured line of an autocratic regime and its controlled media: They portray their opponents as traitorous individuals in cahoots with foreigners to undermine the country.
In all my years of service to this country, I have always worked with one and only one objective in mind: To speak up for my fellow citizens and empower them so that they can stand up for themselves.�
In what way do I harm Singapore's interests by fighting for democracy and the political rights of Singaporeans?

Maybe that is the whole idea? This is one conspiracy theory that should not be easily overlooked.I have a feeling that in just a few years time he would call it quits and migrate to the USA. -

i've always held the view that this $&*#^ and the other $*&#% Gomez are plants by the MIW..CSJ destroyed the opposition in ways which the MIW could never do...
Gomez pulled the same stunt twice which screwed the chance of a good showing from WP.. then he buggered off to Sweden or wherever the hell he's PR in..

What I am trying to say is that he could be a Garmen stooge /Foreign stooge who plays for both sides .2 more guys like him and we have Singapore very first 'The 3 Stooges'.

i don't think foreigners give a shit...i think the asswipe is in the pay of the gabrament...
in the past, i'd think Harbans Singh was another but then, he was too much of a joker and a clown to be a stooge.. rest his soul...
if you read the comic book "Goodbye Kuan Yew, Hello Chok Tong" you'd see him portrayed like that.. while everyone was on a soccer field, he was guarding a rugby goal
