Gomez detained over Elections Department complaint-Sunday May 7, 10:17 PM.2003SINGAPORE : James Gomez, the man at the centre of a controversy with the Elections Department over a minority candidate certificate, has been detained by police.
2.Why he leave spore right after GE?He think he will lose?
In a statement, police said they were investigating after receiving a complaint against Mr Gomez from the Elections Department.
Mr Gomez was stopped at Changi Airport on Sunday afternoon and prevented from leaving for Sweden.
Channel NewsAsia understands his passport and boarding pass have been confiscated.
Mr Gomez was taken to the Police Cantonment Complex at 4pm to have his statement taken.
During the hustings, Mr Gomez was embroiled in a controversy over his application for a minority candidate certificate.
He claimed to have submitted an application at the Elections Department, but security camera footage showed otherwise.
People's Action Party leaders later accused Mr Gomez of trying to discredit the Elections Department by claiming its staff had misplaced his form.
In a statement, Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng had charged that Mr Gomez stage-managed the entire episode from the start.
Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew called Mr Gomez a liar, a charge he repeated on Sunday before police confirmed they had detained the Workers' Party candidate.
Said Mr Lee, "When I call a man openly, you're a liar, you're dishonest, and you do not dare to sue me, there's something basically wrong. And I will repeat it anywhere and you can't go and say, oh, I have apologised; let's move on. Can you commit a dishonourable -- maybe even one which is against the law -- an illegal act and say, let's move on because I've apologised? You may move on but you're going to move on out of politics in time."
Mr Lee said that whether other Workers' Party members connived at Mr Gomez's doings was a matter still to be determined.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was asked to comment on Mr Gomez's detention during his victory parade in Ang Mo Kio.
Mr Lee said he was not aware of what had happened, since the Elections Department filed a police report against Mr Gomez.
He said the matter was now in the hands of police.
At about 8pm, Workers' Party chairman Sylvia Lim and the party's defeated candidate in Ang Mo Kio GRC, Lee Wai Leng, were seen entering the police headquarters.
It is believed they are helping with investigations. - CNA /ct
If he win,how he serves ? -
Hmm.... Plan B theory....Originally posted by Aveme:so answer my question?
If a certain needed indian candiate in another team suddenly falls seriously ill and one is needed to replace him,a plan B implemented b4 hand to ensure that there is replacement is not a legit plan they could make?
WP A team in Aljunied... so even if AMK Indian candidate falls seriously ill, then move A team member to AMK suicide squad and fill A team with another standby.... possible but this will put a dent on WP credibility of having serious candidate.....
So, the question will then be "Weaken A team to fill suicide squad or get another Indian to fill suicide squad or field suicide squad next GE ?"
Hmmm.... Plan B possible for A team, not likely for suicide squad... of course, I am just a dolphin..... splash.... -

All of you who only quote and parrot from the state media make me sick..
He works abroad, of course he will go back after he loses the election, you think sit down at kopitiam and shake leg ah? He has to work and earn his keep too..

whether or not it put a dent on WP's credibility does not come into the picture here.It is still a possible plan that could be done for really emergency cases.Originally posted by Blue Dolphin:Hmm.... Plan B theory....

Situations may change btw the day he apply for a minority cert and the nomination day.It is always good to put into such Plan B,C,D or whatever to prove that you are serious. -
If pap had backup plans, no one will question them one, when someone has a backup plan, 7/9 days are spent talking about it.Originally posted by Blue Dolphin:Hmm.... Plan B theory....

There is nothing wrong for anyone to go back to work after GE. I am working on some stuff now. Just that this chap is suppose to be a potential member of Parliament leh, ask Aljunied GRC resident to vote for him leh, suppose to help the poor and solve their day to day problem, speak for those that cannot speak leh, I just find it kind of strange to kiss kiss bye bye so soon.Originally posted by Aveme:As i understand from what i read somewhere,he is based outside of singapore (aka he is working in sweden),so he is just leaving to go back to his normal job,i do not see anything wrong if this is so? People have to go back to his normal life?
Not sure Aljunied GRC residents know he is based overseas when they go to vote. So much talk about understanding the people, feel for the people. Kind of not walking the talk leh.
But I am only speculating, there could very well be an emergency/urgent matter for him to go back to Sweden. Also not fair to say this when he has not the chance to speak his side of the story. Think we wait and see hor -

They pledge that if they won the election and get into parliment,all 5 of them contesting for aljunied GRC will quit their job and become full time MP to help the people.But since the people choose not to overall support him,he is free to go back to his normal life
And yes i think we should be object in this case,but i doubt our biased media will give us any accurate picture of what he will say -
Aiyo, I think everyone got backup plan leh. But the backup plan has to make sense mah. If you plan for birthday party at birdpark, when it rain, the back up plan is to move indoor and unlikely to change it to fashion show hor.Originally posted by ditzy:If pap had backup plans, no one will question them one, when someone has a backup plan, 7/9 days are spent talking about it.
Just not very likely for someone to break team A to back up suicide squad lor. Where got world cup team break up to back up standby people, bookies will go bananas and dolphin will flip. -
Looked around in various forums, seems like not much details is out.
Unclear what the charge is, unknown whether he is detained for investigation or arrested. Total blackout of news.

Think and you will see it is perfectly logical. It's called throwing a red herring..Originally posted by Blue Dolphin:Aiyo, I think everyone got backup plan leh.

Brother, the news is carried by Associate Press(AP) and Reuters, hope you also be abit objective lah. Let's not get too emotional about this. Wait and see lor. At this moment, there is papa and mama Gomez more worried than us to have the truth and also Mr Low and Ms Slyvia Lim to take care of him. Don't think in this day and age we can supress information, right?Originally posted by Aveme:And yes i think we should be object in this case,but i doubt our biased media will give us any accurate picture of what he will say -
Ms Sylvia lim also at cantonment st, so now left only Mr low to take care of both of them.

Draw your own conclusions. -
I think like you, it started with a red herring.... but somehow either he over did it or decided to take a cheap shot/take revenge against the election department and kenna caught on CCTV and CNA camera threatening people.... Difficult to know intend, also difficult to prove intend but the act of threatening kenna recorded.... siao liao!!!Originally posted by LazerLordz:Think and you will see it is perfectly logical.

I no lawyer hor, so better leave to lawyer to see if his act constitute threat or not lor... -
well i did not know which press is giving coverage now but the way the election was covered had pissed me off with their bias.If it is supressing of information,it is already done in a pretty good way in singapore,so well guess no more point to talk about this until more concrete news come out.Originally posted by Blue Dolphin:Brother, the news is carried by Associate Press(AP) and Reuters, hope you also be abit objective lah.
