what does tell u about justic system in SG??
How about Goh Chok Tong teleport incident at Cheng San 1997?
KJ: Explain to me how and why you became
politicised on the opposition side of the fence.
Yaw Shin Leong: My
late father used to share with me stories about Soong dynasty and
Three Kingdoms so it led me to think about what it means serving
your country, loving your country, [and] what does it mean to come
forward to serve your country. As a young child I didn’t know how
to serve my country. I realized later there are ways to serve your
country.
As a result of seeing a lack of political balance in Singapore I
decided I must do something for my country. In 1997 I remember when Mr JBJ
[Jeyaretnam] was at Cheng San Stadium. He said: ‘Here is the police
report I made against Goh Chok Tong and his people’. For this
sentence he got a legal suit. It made me wonder:
What sort of system do we want to live in? [KJ: The 1997 GE was
also a strong motivator for Goh Meng Seng of NSP.] This incident
led me to decide which side camp I wanted to be in. In ’91, when
(Low Thia Khiang) LTK won [Hougang SMC], I remember LTK said ‘this
is the beginning of the next lap’. I was a 16-year-old boy, the
warm and fuzzy feeling was I wanted to be part of that next lap
although that was an abstract concept for me. In 2001 I was helping
Mr JBJ (J B Jeyaretnam). JBJ offered me to join the WP. I declined
at that time. I joined after JBJ handed the leadership over to LTK.
He is a moderate. I can identify with his vision. I joined 24 June
2001. Aljunied GRC, my team was disqualified unfortunately [01
GE].
