$*&#^ lah...
if you have already forgotten, CSJ stuck one in CST to take over
the SDP...
now.. think.. CST was grooming CSJ for leadership of the SDP...
CSJ could not wait and then threw CST out of the very party which
he founded... and then with that masterstroke of stupidity, he
destroyed the whole opposition movement and lost all credibility
with the people who witnessed the whole sordid and shameless
backstabbing...
we, the people who give a damn, the people who witnessed the
treachery and deceit, can never ever bring ourselves to trust CSJ
ever again...
hell! open your eyes! the people in the SDP don't even trust CSJ
anymore with people like Ling "Don't Talk Cock!" How Doong and his
other cronies who helped him oust CST quietly abandoning him...
so, CSJ to take over CST's mantle?
tell it to the marines...
The infamous ‘Drama Queen’(*1) never fail to seize the
opportunity to plant another lie to injure CSJ or the SDP despite
the consistent facts that has been placed in public.
Did CSJ stuck one behind CST's back ?
Was CST grooming CSJ for leadership of the SDP, or was it the
Chairman of the SDP - Ling Howe Doong - insisting on new
blood to be groomed in view of the lacklustre performance of CSJ in
Parliament ?
Did CSJ throw CST out of the SDP ?
Was it not a fact that CSJ was absent at all the proceedings in
the SDP and meetings conducted by its Executive Council - in
which the Executive and General Membership felt that CST was wrong
to chastise CSJ in his hunger strike to protest the
PAP instigated false charges of cheating the NUS ?
A few clicks in google could have provided clear
answers(*2) and even Widipedia remain clear on record of events in the
SDP(*3) will show up the falsehood that the ‘Drama Queen’(*1) persist in dragging CSJ and SDP
into the slimy road that only the ‘Drama Queen’(*1) prefer to walk.

(information taken from
SDP’s website, with my own personal remarks added in using purple
colour)
In 1984, Mr Chiam See Tong was elected in Potong Pasir, a seat
he has held till today. That same year, the Singapore Democratic
Party (which Chiam was a member of at that time) launched its
newsletter Demokrat.
In 1986, a few of the Party’s leaders, including Mr Soon Kia
Seng (Assistant Secretary-General) and Mr Peter Lim Ah Yong
(Treasurer), resigned their posts with Mr Soon accusing some of his
colleagues as not sincerely believing in democracy: “This
is not a party I once knew. I am willing to serve a cause but
I don’t want to serve
individuals.”
Subsequently, the SDP contested the Marine Parade by-elections
in December 1992 called for by then-prime minister, Mr Goh Chok
Tong, in his own GRC. Dr Chee Soon Juan joined the SDP as part of
the contesting team with Mr Low Yong Nguan, Mr Ashleigh Seow (Mr
Francis Seow’s son) and Mr Mohd Shariff.
Following the election in 1993, Dr Chee was sacked by the
National University of Singapore where he was a Lecturer. Dr Chee
went on a hunger strike as a mark of protest. He was subsequently
sued by his department head, Dr S Vasoo, faculty dean, Dr Ernest
Chew, and secretary, Ms Janice Chen, when he disputed his
sacking.
Mr Chiam first supported Dr Chee’s action but
later changed his
mind and called for the Party to censure his the assistant
secretary-general (Dr Chee was elected to the post in February
1993).
None of the
Central Executive Committee (CEC) members supported Mr Chiam’s
motion whereupon the Party leader tended his resignation, citing
that he had lost the confidence of his colleagues.
This is in stark contrast to the
repeated lies and
falsehoods perpetrated by the mainstream press that
it was Dr Chee who forced Chiam out of the SDP.
A few of the CEC members, including Dr Chee, tried to persuade
Mr Chiam to remain as secretary-general. However, Mr Chiam stated
that he would do so only if he could be granted the power to
appoint and dismiss the Party’s cadre members. He also wanted the
removal of Mr Wong Hong Toy as vice-chairman.
Under the Party’s constitution, a simple majority of the CEC was
needed to appoint cadre members, not any one individual leader. The
CEC did not have the constitutional power to accede to Mr Chiam’s
demands.
A few weeks later, Mr Chiam gave a speech at the
Singapore Press Club attacking the Party’s leadership in a vicious
manner. Ironically, it was he who previously forbade
leaders from criticising the party after they left it by making
them sign oaths.
It was only after his speech at the Singapore Press Club, which
is always looking for an opportunity to run down the opposition,
that the CEC voted to expel Mr Chiam.
The Press Club had extended a similar invitation to Dr Chee to
counter Mr Chiam. Knowing that the PAP-controlled media had every
intention to fan the flames, Dr Chee declined the invitation. But
when he subsequently informed the organizers that he would speak
but on the Party’s alternative policy ideas instead of the
altercation with Mr Chiam, the Press Club withdrew the
invitation.
Mr Chiam sued the CEC for wrongful dismissal and
won. His actions dealt a
severe financial blow to the SDP.
Despite all this, Dr Chee approached Mr Chiam a few months later
to invite him to join an SDP delegation that was going to visit the
Australian Parliament in Canberra. Mr Chiam declined.
The PAP has seized on this matter and deliberately
portrayed the falsehood that Dr Chee ousted
Mr Chiam from the SDP. In actual
fact, it was Chiam who brought it upon himself by deliberately
attacking his own party in public and playing directly into the
hands of the PAP.
Mr Chiam remained with the Party until the 1997 general
elections when he resigned to form another party.

The continued role of The Bear in its consistent
and persistent negative attacks towards the Opposition or
Alternative Political Parties reveal the depth of the drama that
it is prepared to sink into as a ‘Drama Queen’(*1) in this Speaker's Corner.
Could The Bear be a non-partisan political
commentator, or is it kept and bred by the PAP as a fifth
columnist to undermine confidence towards the Alternative
Parties, and subtlely change the views of participants in this
forum ?
It is not surprising for the PAP to adopt the Communist ways of
planting fifth columnist in open society to undermine any
opposition and to open opportunities for the PAP.
The infamous ‘Drama Queen’(*1) never fail in its
efforts to deride the SDP and now it is claiming that
even the Chairman of SDP has quietly distance himself
from CSJ.
Does anyone know how old Ling Howe Doong was when he
decided to relinquish the post as Chairman of
the SDP ?
If Ling Howe Doong's stepping down from the
SDP can be seen as distancing himself from CSJ,
should Singaporeans see the resignation of the Old Guards from
the PAP as similarly distancing themselves from the unpopular
LHL too ?
If only CST had been able to groom new blood in his SDA today,
perhaps there will be no such reports surfacing that Potong Pasir resident expressed ‘disappointment at
Chiam’s performance(*3) - dated 5 March 2009.
Should we see the CEC and the General Membership at SDA soon
throw CST out of their party soon - this time without any help from
CSJ ?
Who will the ‘Drama Queen’(*1) pick for the drama in
stabbing CST again ?
