"This set me thinking back to
2001 during the general elections when I was campaigning at a
market in Jurong East with Dr Chee Soon Juan. Then-prime minister
Goh Chok Tong had showed up to campaign for the
PAP.
Dr Chee had raised the issue
of Singapore's secretive US$10
billion loan-pledge to Suharto just before the corrupt Indonesian dictator
was toppled in May 1998.
Upon seeing Mr Goh, Dr Chee asked
him “Where is our money?” referring to the US$10 billion.
Mr Goh, without saying a word,
pointed to his pocket and
waved us away, giving the impression that the money had landed
there.
The media seized on the exchange
to portray Dr Chee as gangster-like. MediaCorp's edited footage made it look like the SDP secretary-general
was tailgating and harassing the prime minister with the
loudhailer.
This was not what happened. We
were outnumbered by those in white and drowned out by chants of
"PAP! PAP!" Dr Chee had to raise his voice to make himself
heard."

Perharps this is the real truth?
So Dr. Chee allowed the money to be loaned or he only found out
after the money was loaned?
How did he found out? And why didn't he find out earlier?
My guess is Dr. Chee knew about the deal and he allowed the
money to be loaned and when things goes wrong, he took on the
opportunity to take a swipe at the government.
You won't see the truth coming from Dr. Chee, there's always an
agenda behind it. And I don't need to say more to affirm that.
