The Singapore Legal Profession. An odd place where dishonesty is rewarded and integrity punished!
I practiced law in Singapore from 1981 to 1991, about 10 years. I am sure, had I remained in Singapore, I would never have been made a Senior Counsel. In fact I would be lucky if I could have had stayed out of prison!
''In fact I would be lucky if I could have had stayed out of prison!''
Is it better rewrite to:
''In fact,i am lucky to have stayed out of prison.''
But he was dumped into Police HQ jail involuntary!!
Gukha Guard says:Looking forward to see u soon.
u tease the little red lion and put your head into her mouth!!
How brave u r!!
PS.I am just writing a forum posting.Welll within rights of US Constitution!!
Dunt shoot me from the dark.

27 days in Singapore. A prisoner in the island.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have now been 27 days in Singapore. I am an American citizen. I had come to Singapore to witness the case of assessment of damages in the High Court from May 26, 2008 to May 28, 2008, for 3 days, in the case of Lee Kuan Yew vs Dr. Chee Soon Juan. I intended to stay in Singapore no longer than June 3, 2008, which would have made my stay no more than 9 days. I had written a blog post on May 29, 2008, criticizing the conduct of the judge in this case.
For doing nothing more than writing a blog critical of a judge, I was arrested by 5 policemen at my hotel; manhandled; handcuffed; my hotel room ransacked before my very eyes, all my personal belongings seized; driven in a police car in handcuffs to Cantonment Police Station and kept 5 days in solitary confinement with the cell lights on 24 hours a day and interrogated each day; sometimes several times a day; and accused of all manner of wrong doing and treated like a common criminal, spending any time outside my cell in handcuffs.
I was released on bail, from solitary confinement on June 5, 2008; after 5 days. Not satisfied with having taken numerous statements from me while under custody; not satisfied with countless interrogation sessions; the court ordered me to continue to attend at the police station for even more interrogation sessions, which I did.
Suddenly on Monday June 16, 2008, not satisfied with the numerous statements already taken, from the never ending interrogation sessions; the court ordered me to attend the police station every day at 9 am in the morning until July 14, 2008 because, believe it nor not, the police have still not completed their investigations and according to the prosecutor, I had not been cooperating with the police in turning up for these interrogation sessions!
And while these never ending interrogation sessions continue, I, an American citizen, after having spent 5 days in solitary confinement, continue to be held against my will in Singapore now for 27 days; with my passport seized; while my law practice in California and my financial situation continues to suffer due to neglect.
And all this punishment for what? All for writing a blog post on my blog criticizing a judge in her conduct of the Lee Kuan Yew vs Dr. Chee Soon Juan case! Even by any third world country's standards, surely I have been punished enough! Surely any man with even the slightest of compassion; with the slightest of of humanity, would feel that enough is enough. Surely it is time to let me go.
The fact remains that all I did was to write a blog post. I have not killed anyone; I have not committed theft or armed robbery or high treason. All I did was to write. And for writing, will Singapore, this so called first world country, this country that claims to have the best legal system in the world, the best train system in the world, the best newspapers in the world, the best sea port in the world, the best airport in the world, the best airline in the world, the highest paid ministers in the world, the best of everything in the world; will they not be satisfied with the punishment I have suffered so far? What more do they want, my blood?
And what is the purpose of all this punishment? Is it to make sure that I am ruined financially? If so, they may have already achieved their purpose. Is it to make sure that I will never exercise my right to free speech again? Surely this is not possible. Unless they kill me, I will be able to return to the United States sometime or other. And once I am free, I will continue to exercise my right to free speech and expression; and if that is the case, what is the point of all this punishment?
And if the the point of all this punishment is to deter Singaporeans from ever criticizing Singapore judges, surely in this day and age, with an educated population, that result is highly unlikely. In fact the opposite may be true. The people might become instead, outraged, defiant and emboldened to speak their mind even more.
And while the Singapore government, intolerant of dissent, jail me in solitary confinement and hold me back in Singapore against my will and unable to return to my home in California; the free world watches the actions of this so called first world country. And they begin to see what this first world country really is. A country that rules by instilling fear among its citizens, threatening them with solitary confinement for extended periods if they ever dare to to criticize a judge.
This much must be told to this government. In order for the judiciary to function properly; in order for ministers to function properly; in order for policemen to function properly; in order for the government to function properly; what is needed is criticism. Criticism makes these government officials accountable. Without criticism, there is no check on people in authority and when there are no checks, judges, policemen, civil servants and ministers are liable to abuse it. If you want good government, you have to have criticism. Without it you have dictatorship and tyranny.
And by the way, this government has to be reminded that it is the tax payer that is paying their wages. And judges too have to be reminded that their wages too are paid by the Singaporean taxpayer. This makes them accountable for their actions and accountable to the people of Singapore.
I would say this to the Singapore administration. If you want to be taken seriously on your claim that you are a first world country, then act like one. First world countries do not go around throwing bloggers in solitary confinement and preventing them returning to their homes. These are not the actions of a first world country. More the actions of dictatorships like North Korea.

GN got out from a barbed wire fenced prison and gets imprisoned in a barbed wired country.
-
The Government has no answer to the issues raised in GN's blog.
The only actions available to the Government is to make it as inconvenient to GN, in the same manner that GN has made it inconvenient for the Government with the GN's embarrassing exposes written by GN.
It is merely 'tit-for-tat' - when one cannot cover one's own long dark shadow that others have exposed.

Is Warrant of Arrest without Bail a telling sign of Sedition Act?
I suspect when the Police arrested GPN,Sedition Act was alreday
in the agenda.
GPN posted 2 blogs in SG,one on 29 May
and another on May 31, 2008 at 10.40am Singapore time.
Police arrested him on 31 May Sat 9.30pm.
First,how long can the Police detain one without Warrant of Arrest?
It would be only 36 hours if Police intended charge him in court
on Monday morning.
So,is it absolutely a must to get a Warrant,on Saturday?
Can the police detain him not more than 48 hours without Warrant ?
Now we look at the Sedition Act.
There is a section of of time bar of prosecuting offences committing
more than 6 months,
''Legal proceedings.
5. —(1) No prosecution for an offence under section 4 shall be begun except within 6 months after the offence is committed: Provided that for the purposes of this subsection a prosecution shall be deemed to be begun against any person when a warrant or summons has been issued in respect of any charge made against that person and based on the facts or incident in respect of which the prosecution afterwards proceeds.''''prosecution shall be deemed to be begun against any person when a warrant or summons has been issued in respect of any charge''
this is the reason.
I assume the date of Warrant is 31 May 2008.
So,AG can prosecute him for offences committed up
to 30 Nov 2007,including those blogs sent in USA.
Read his colorful Dec 2007 blogs then u know
why the Warrant needed to have been issued on Saturday.

STOP BLOGGING,Gopa!
For the sake of his family,will anyone contact his family.
If his family want to see him in US soil sooner and he is in
civilian clothes,they should plead him stop writing,now.
His blogs after his arrest just give more ammo to PP to charge him.
I am not saying all his blogs after arrest commit offfences.
But it dunt help at all.The Judge can consider all the after--arrest --blogs.
Can bloggers in US ask people to crash a plane into White House?
Or ask them put a WMD near the White House?
Of course not lah.
But GPN asked people just do all these on Lee Kuan Yew
residence !!Read my old postings in this thread.
There are many his callings very defamatory,as he alreday confessed,
if not seditious.
Can i spread some bad news about him in his community?
Of course not.It is morally and legally wrong.
blogging is not above all laws.There is a limit.
I invite u guys to read at least 30 blogs,ie only 10 %
of all his colorful blogs about SG.At least 70% of blogs
with heading Singapore.
Then u know him better.
Like the Chinese,Ice will not freeze to 3 feet over night.
Thanks to some forumers here,he is quite well known.
http://www.sgforums.com/topics/search?q=Gopalan+Nair&commit=Go&type=topics
Do 2 challenging blogs the last straw on the back?
I dunt know if he had been monitored when he came to SG recently.
But his 300 blogs since Dec 2006 seem hard to be overlooked.
Cool down mates.Look at his blogs as a layman
and from the view points of laws.
Do u know he hinted some relationships between new law minister
and DPM.I may be wrong for by poor English.Freedom of speech?
He said judges,lawyers .police just work for Lees..
He said in SG,there are only few freemen...
Are we all slaves?If so,how can we talk all these here?
Does he show miscalculations?
He seem crying to say that LKY dunt play by his rules.
He challenged LKY sue him.But instead,he got arrested.
My 29th day in Singapore. Lee: If you defame me, I will sue you!
Just i say here.Civil suit make u bankcrupt,but prosecute make
u go to jail.Read his blogs lah,before u say anythings.
Dunt cover the role of politics player by blogger
GPN wrote 100 % more than CSJ and 10000% more than
Workers Party.He is a player,not just a blogger and observer.
Anyone can write,but to a certain limit.Dunt cross the red
lines of Sedition Act.He has been a lawyers for 25 years,
10 in SG and 15 years in US.
Why CSJ keep an arm's length from him,before his arrest?
CSJ did not announce his arrival in SDP site.
GPN came to SG purposely to support him!Why?
Wa!! a US lawyer came to observe his 3 days hearings.
Not a small matter.
Secondly, CSJ likes to put all articles mentioned his name in his site.
But i found none of GPN articles in SDP site.GPN mentioned
CSJ name many times in his 300 blogs.
Thirdly,CSJ did not attend GPN 16 june hearing.
GPN flied from USA to support CSJ and got arrested .
It seems wrong for CSJ did not give support.
GPN predictions damn right ,partly
I dunt think he mean seriouly when he wrote the followings.
He just wanted to make his profile looks important.
http://www.sgforums.com/forums/10/topics/309735
Secondly simply because I write from California does not mean I am entirely safe. As you know the Russian recently who had criticized Yeltzin from London had been murdered in London by poisoning. In 1979, while I was in London, the Bulgarian correspondent at the BBC English language section was murdered while crossing London Bridge by someone who stuck an umbrella into him, tipped with poison. Well Lee Kuan Yew may one day decide enough is enough and finish me off in California. Furthermore, I come to Singapore almost twice a year travelling on an American passport. They could stop me in Changi, arrest me and do whatever they want. These are dangers that I face by criticizing Lee Kuan Yew. But none of this scares me. There is a saying in Gurkhali which goes like this "A brave man dies only once. A coward dies many times over".
I believe my blog is doing a tremendous amount of good. For one thing, the educated who have been reading my blog has resulted in increased rates of emigration among them, particularly to Australia. They can see that Singapore is nothing more than a tiny island with a dictator and his son strutting around as if they own the place. This is not the first world country they want to live in, so they leave. My blog helps them in their decision to leave. My blog has been instrumental for the increase in brain drain. This is hurting the Lee Regime. There is not enough people to run the place.
My readership of my blog has increased in monumental numbers thereby spreading the message that the Lee Administration is bad for Singapore. The government is aware of the danger of such mass dissemination of critical information. As you know in the past, as soon as any person wrote anything critical, the government pounced on them with full force with defamation action, criminal charges, the works. The reason is quite obvious. Just one piece of critical writing against the government can result in serious damage to the government, as news tends to spread like wild fire. But now the tables have turned. Lee Kuan Yew has not sued me. He cannot because he knows he will lose. The truth is on my side, not his. -
My 29th day in Singapore. Lee: If you defame me, I will sue you!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
During the 3 day assessment of damages hearing in the High Court, Judge Belinda Ang presiding, in the Lee Kuan Yew vs Dr. Chee Soon Juan matter, Dr. Chee asks Lee Kuan Yew why did he say in his Affidavit that he (Dr. Chee) "hates" Lee Kuan Yew.
Then Dr. Chee tells Lee that truly, he does not hate him at all. He (Dr. Chee) in fact feels very sorry for him. Dr. Chee tells him that he (Lee Kuan Yew) cuts a pathetic figure. And that Dr. Chee is really sorry for him.
Dr. Chee is absolutely spot on here. We should indeed fell sorry for the poor old man. You see, since 1959, Lee has been holding on to power. During this time, he has built an infrastructure and brought some modernity to the island. He feels he has done well. He says he has the support of the people and the people respect him. Nothing can be further from the truth. His actions betray his weakness. Only a weak ruler will resort to violence, brutality and resort to the courts to cripple his opponents. A strong ruler who has the support of the people need not stoop so low. Someone who wrote to me compared him to Mugabe. He says they are not too dissimilar. Mugabe uses guns to stay in power. Lee uses the courts. The diagnosis is the same. Both are weak men who can only remain in power by intimidation, torture, bankruptcy and subjugation. Powerful men need not resort to this.
Look at Lee's record. Singapore is already in the Guinness Book not only for the largest number of defamation actions brought on by a ruler of a country, but also for its staggering amounts; no less that one half million dollars each time. Does Lee ever believe that Dr. Chee can pay any of this? Of course not. The whole idea is not the money. It is to ensure that Dr. Chee can never stand of elections again. What a shameful man Lee Kuan Yew is. He ensures Dr. Chee Soon Juan can never oppose him in elections. To achieve that shameful objective, he uses the courts to finish him off. The same with JB Jeyaretnam. Till today I cannot understand why Jeyaretnam decided to pay the totally illegal damages. Yes, illegal is a strong word but apt nevertheless. In all the series of court cases against JB Jeyaretnam, not even once did JB Jeyaretnam ever defame Lee Kuan Yew, that is of course if you use the normal definition of the word "defame" and not the totally Alice in Wonderland meaning given to it by Singapore.
Take my case. I did say in my blog that since Lee Kuan Yew had said, in no uncertain terms, during the 3-day damages hearing recently in the High Court, that if anyone defamed him in a blog, and if they were identified, he will sue them; I had therefore challenged him to sue me as he had threatened. Instead of suing me, he goes on to order his police to arrest me on some dubious charge that I insulted a judge in my blog. Is this a sign of a man in control of himself or that of a man who is so unsure of himself that he has to resort to bullying each time someone challenges him? And mind you, I am so far a thoroughly insignificant soul compared to the others he has gone after previously, such as Dow Jones, Far Eastern Economic Review, Asian Wall Street, JB Jeyaretnam and Dr. Chee. All these people are giants compared to me in the scope of things. Why then pick on me?
The answer cannot be clearer than it ever was. Lee can only remain in power through instilling fear in his citizenry. And one way to do it is to go after anyone who criticizes, hoping that that others would be sufficiently scared off by news of what has happened to me.
But my answer to Lee is this. It is not going to work. You have done this once too often. And Singapore's young are bolder than what you think. This action against me is already turning out to be counter productive. Just after my case, I have heard that even more are packing off for Australia and elsewhere. This is something that Lee cannot stop. His mistake was making English the lingua franca. With English Singaporeans can leave anytime and be accepted around the English speaking world. The Chinese imports from mainland China is not a replacement. They neither have English nor the capability.
Second, more and more young people are swelling the ranks of the SDP. They are coming forward. Instead of being intimidated, they are turning out to be lions. Not just any lion but African lions. The really brave type.
I understand that Lee Kuan Yew has been traveling to places such as Sydney with hat in hand, begging Singaporeans to come back. They are not coming back. And one more reason for them not to come back is the case Singapore Public Prosecutor vs. Gopalan Nair for writing a blog!

Sedition Act or alike is a long play.So,pl dunt play play.
The British Empire police and DPP take long time to collect evidences
and yet decide what to do.ONE YEAR ,to be exact.
So,any one query HM gavaman judiciary system here?
read the long story here.
The police had the information on me since June last year(2007), and then 6 months later over Christmas I get the call saying that they needed to arrest me over my blog. Then 3 months later I return and hand myself in for arrest and interview. So 9 months up until my arrest, and now a further 3 months to answer my first bail and they still have not decided whether or not they are going to charge me with anything, so I now have to wait a further 2 months to see whether or not to prosecute me is going to be in the public interest.
12 months and they have not decided on me.

GPN said,as quoted,
''No charge has been formally tendered in court'',but in fact,charges alreday
tendered in court!!Who is the cheat?
GPN as quoted said:
"No charge has been formally tendered in court, and to date no plea has been taken from me," said Nair, whose passport was confiscated in the island nation after he criticized the government online. "The police are constantly requiring me to attend interrogation sessions."

His lawyer also supported his claim.
So,who is the cheat??This is not a small matter.
Today in court there was a further U Turn. Now they are no longer proceeding with the Email charge to Judge Belinda Ang or the Sedition charge and have instead charged me with having insulted Judge Belinda Ang on May 29, 2008 by reason of what I had written on my blog as well as the 2 year old matter with Judge Lai. I cannot remember whether I did or did not send the 2 year old Email.

Former spy chief wins damages
Patrick Walters, National security editor | June 27, 2008
A FORMER intelligence chief has won a defamation payout and an unreserved apology from a naval reserve captain over allegations that Australian lives had been endangered by his leadership of the secretive Defence Intelligence Organisation.
Under the terms of an ACT Supreme Court judgment, senior defence bureaucrat and former DIO chief Frank Lewincamp has won damages and an apology from Martin Toohey over claims that the DIO had been dangerously "politicised" under Mr Lewincamp and that he should have been sacked.
The defamation case was sparked by an article in the nowdefunct Bulletin magazine in2004.
The article was based on leaks of an internal defence review, conducted in 2003 by Mr Toohey.
Mr Toohey, a barrister and naval reserve captain, had reviewed a grievance case brought by a former army intelligence expert, Lieutenant Colonel Lance Collins, who had alleged there was a "pro-Jakarta lobby in theDIO", that intelligence hadbeen cut to Australian forces in East Timor and that he had been sidelined after raising his concerns.
Mr Lewincamp, currently head of Defence's governance division, brought the defamation action not in relation to Mr Toohey's review but in relation to the publiccomments he made in the Bulletin article.

July 8, 2008 Gopalan Nair trial set for Sept 8By Jeremy Au Yong Former Singaporean lawyer Gopalan Nair, accused of insulting two High Court judges here, will get his day in court in September.
At a pre-trial conference in the High Court on Tuesday, Magistrate Denise Wong set aside two weeks - Sept 8 to 19 - for the trial.
But with almost two months away before the trial starts, Nair's lawyer Chia Ti Lik said they would be making an application for Nair to return to the US first, where he is now a resident.
As a condition of his bail, the 58-year-old was required to surrender his passport to the police.
The two charges carry a possible jail term of up to one year, $5,000 fine, or both, each.
The first charge relates to a blog post Nair had written, accusing Justice Belinda Ang of 'prostituting herself' to Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
He made the comments after he returned to Singapore to observe a three-day hearing presided over by Justice Ang to assess damages in a defamation suit that PM Lee and Minister Mentor had won against the Singapore Democratic Party, its secretary-general Chee Soon Juan and his sister Chee Siok Chin.
The second charge concerns an e-mail he allegedly sent in 2006 to Justice Lai Siu Chiu while she was presiding over a contempt of court case, also involving Chee Soon Juan.
In it, Nair implied that she and the others worked against critics of the PAP. He called Justice Lai and others 'corrupt'.
