Book on Goh Chok Tong available at leading bookstores?
-
Hi,
I read from the papers several days ago that a book has been written about Goh Chok Tong.
Anyone know whether it is available at the leading bookstores? -
Memoir or some biography or what articles by some authors???
Memoir must get, biography can consider, but aricles...
Go library borrow.
-
Don't think it is a biography or memoirs.

There was a little book on SM Goh before when he was taking over.Originally posted by PoRen:Don't think it is a biography or memoirs.
If not memoir or biography, just forget it. The library would have plenty for free. -

Can he write his memoirs "freely" and in "total honesty" without any INTERFERENCE ?
It is very unfortunate that the late Dr Lee Siew Choh - (Secretary-General of Barisan Sosialis) - had spent so much of his last months to write his memoirs for the sake of "keeping the record straight for posterity sake", and yet on his passing, his wife was "persuaded" not to release those writings - and "let bygones be bygones" (reported in ST).
It is also very unfortunate that ex-President Devan Nair was also "persuaded" to use his "good sense" and not publish his memoirs, in order that Singapore's honor is kept.
Can we expect to learn anything else from anyone except from the books sanctioned, and written for, or by the Supreme Leader ?
However, from books written by SDP CSJ, one may have an alternative insight on the Policies of the Ruling Party, and the effects to the future of Singapore.

Although your postings are amusing, I wonder if you are not putting some local innocent juveniles at risks in regurgitating the items that you have posted.
Since you are residing in the U.S.A. you are insulated from any local retaliatory actions from those whom you have targetted with your satire.
Meanwhile those of us locally, who unwittingly propagate your materials, will only open ourselves to the usual threats that you should be familiar with by now, as you have so widely publicised to be the common method of regaining lost pride by those whom you taunt.
Your posting amount to "identity theft" by creating a site on behalf of "yeocheowtong" , and is merely baiting and taunting those "characters in power" - to take some form of legal response against you, preferably in the USA, so as to allow you to engage "them" in the US Courts.
Your private vendetta carried into this forum may probably cause the death of this sgForums. -

The caricatures have been going on for years..the fact that the American courts do not entertain weak cases of libel and defamation based on lousy sketches and amatuerish graphics work must say something in itself.
Anyway, will the Mod still take care of this poorly designed razzmatazz? -
The American courts dont entertain this kind of lawsuit from our politicians.As a matter of fact,outside this "tiny little country",our leaders is "nobody" already.Originally posted by Atobe:Although your postings are amusing, I wonder if you are not putting some local innocent juveniles at risks in regurgitating the items that you have posted.

The American Judiciary is certainly more independent, and will have the guts to reject any controls imposed on it by the Executive Office or from the Legislative Body.Originally posted by drawer:The American courts dont entertain this kind of lawsuit from our politicians.As a matter of fact,outside this "tiny little country",our leaders is "nobody" already.
Whether it takes up the cause of any individual or government against anyone or any organisation, will depend on the merit of each case.
Surely, "identity theft" is one good cause ? How would you like the idea of someone using your (REAL) name and set up a website on your behalf, and post all kinds of embarrassing satire about you and your wife, your family, your background, your career, etc.
Certainly, those who are in charge in Singapore, will be mere shadows of themselves when standing before any Overseas Court of Law of Countries that allow the Judiciary to function without any "leash".
The following reports are about the lawsuit brought by then SM LKY against ex-President Devan Nair, and a Canadian newspaper that printed an interview it made with the ex-President of Singapore.
