NOTES:
Chua Chwee Lian (Helen):
Helen, born on 21 September 1948, is my elder sister, who will soon be 60 years old in September 2008. She is a housewife with two sons--the younger one (Kelvin Set Zhi Wei, NRIC No: 8801772B) is currently serving National Service and the older one (Benny Set Chern Loong, NRIC No: 7629814I) is working in a private firm (and going to be married to a Chinese girl in September 2008). Helen likes to tour other countries and must have visited so many countries by now. (She would happily show us her photographs taken during those trips overseas upon her return.) She helps me in a big way financially every month.
Chua Kim Lian (Ah Leng):
Ah Leng, as we normally call her, is one of my elder half-sisters (from my mother's first marriage to my long-deceased step-father). She likes to play mahjong, swim every morning, and visit other countries every now and then with her friends. She was divorced from her husband, Ng Kian Hock, a long time ago and had two married daughters with him--one of whom, Patricia Ng En Bee, is presently living with her. Patricia lives with her husband, Kane Chen Kin Meng, a cinematographer, and their two children (Keby and Celestine), in a HDB apartment in Choa Chu Kang. Her elder sister, Linda Ng En Hoon, is married to Soh Eng Seng and they have three children--Kelvin, Christopher and Kristy. Ah Leng would often boil Chinese medicinal herbs for me to drink whenever we met at my brother Derrick's house--to help control my high blood pressure. She also helps me financially every month.
Chua Tiong Seah (Don):
Don (email: doncai18@yahoo.com.sg), born on 18 July 1955, is my brother, two years younger than me. He is now self-employed, baking organic bread at home almost daily and selling them to various shops, people and organisations in order to supplement his family income. He is married to Choong Mi Mi and they have three school-going children (Cai Yiming, Cai Wenrong and Cai ChengYue). Don is very concerned about his health and fitness (which is very good) and he maintains it by not only ensuring that he exercises regularly but also knowing how to control his eating habits. He helps me financially every month.
Chua Seng Seah (Derrick):
Derrick is my brother, four years younger than me. He is working as an electrician. He is married to Chan Oi Lin and has a son, Mervyn, in school now. Derrick is a very responsible family-man who gave up smoking and heavy betting on lottery so that he could have enough money to help with the household expenses. But he still drives a van even though it is costly to do so--chiefly, because of the convenience of having one's own private means of transport and secondly, because he really enjoys driving. He had given his expensive hi-fi stereo sound system to me many years ago, when I moved out of his house to live on my own in a purchased flat. He helps me financially every month.

Dear Singaporeans: Every Thing I Do, I Do It For You
During the course of these past long years after my resignation from MSD in 1976, I had to try defending myself in various ways against the PAP Government's attempt to discredit me as an anti-PAP critic and writer. Eventually, I found the most effective self-defence was to feign a convincing "neutralization" of my self-chosen role as a critic and writer with anti-PAP opinions by pretending to suffer from a "schizophrenic breakdown". That was how I could avoid being harassed and intimidated by the watching and watchful PAP Government--by rendering myself as a "schizophrenic" writer that posed no effective challenge or threat to the PAP regime. Thus, I had to make plans for this purpose right after my resignation from MSD in 1976; and I was finally able to execute my plans, starting from the year 1985, to pretend that I was suffering from "schizophrenia"!
I had to become an actor. I had to, in other words, assume the signs and symptoms of this dreaded and stigmatised mental illness. Thus, I was ready to be interviewed, as planned, and "correctly" diagnosed by the government psychiatric consultants--when I was brought to the old Woodbridge Hospital (at Yio Chu Kang) by the unsuspecting police, whom I had to provoke and hoodwink, in order to make them believe that I was crazy or mad!
To protect my role as a critic and writer with long-held anti-PAP views and beliefs, I thus had to feign the signs and symptoms of schizophrenia during various incidents, at home or in public, beginning from 1985 and right through the last 23 years! These incidents, particularly during an extremely "active" year in 1986--when I was living at Jalan Kukoh--were intended to be witnessed by neighbours and members of the public and recorded in official statements and documents by policemen notified to check on my "mental breakdown", so that I can establish my "schizophrenic" status! In 1989, I finally succeeded in having myself brought to the old Woodbridge Hospital by the police, who thought they had a "mental" case on their hands! Obviously, I had to convince the government medical psychiatrists attending to my case that I was suffering from "schizophrenia"--which I did, as I was diagnosed and warded at the hospital for the first time. After my discharge from my first stay at the old Woodbridge Hospital, I managed to get involved in other "criminal" incidents deliberately--so that my "schizophrenia" could be corroborated by police officers who were interrogating me or investigating my case.
And what, for your information, dear Singaporeans, are these signs and symptoms (which I had to study and remember from reading medical books on psychiatry and from other relevant sources of information--such as brochures issued by Singapore Association for Mental Health) which managed to lend credibility to my "schizophrenic" guise?
They fall into the following areas [as listed and described in two brochures, "A Family Guide To Understanding Schizophrenia" (SAMH, Singapore) and "Plain Talk" (SAMH, Singapore)]:
- Appearance: Often persons suffering from schizophrenia may not take care of themselves properly. Their appearance may be unkempt or untidy. Their personal hygiene may suffer.
- Behaviour: Persons with schizophrenia are rarely violent. They are often distracted and appear to be in their own world. They may not pay much attention to what is occurring around them and may talk or gesture to themselves. Withdrawal is another common sign, when they retreat into their own world, losing the ability to concentrate or communicate with others. They become apathetic and listless, even to the point of hardly moving at all.
- Thinking: Persons with schizophrenia have difficulty keeping their thoughts in order. They may become disturbed in such a way that they are unable to focus on a main point of a statement or an argument. They may suffer a mental block, or crowding of their thoughts. They will often jump from topic to topic. They may even experience hallucinations. They may imagine things which do not seem possible: such as seeing and smelling things that aren't there, or hearing voices speaking to them, discussing their thoughts or behaviour, urging them to a certain action, or having peculiar ideas that seem strange or unrealistic. Quite often they suffer from delusions, forming false beliefs despite obvious proof to the contrary. They may become very irritable and suspicious, believing others are plotting against them, following and staring at them, or reading their thoughts.
- Speech: Persons with schizophrenia may be difficult to understand. Their speech may be disconnected, or even incoherent. They may talk very rapidly or slowly. Their speech then become vague or inconsequential. They may say things which do not make sense.
- Emotions: Persons with schizophrenia often do not feel the same way as others. At times they may be very sad or happy for no apparent reason. They may scold others without cause. They can appear frightened or withdrawn. Their emotions may become dull and flattened, out of step with what's going on--for instance, they may start laughing in the middle of a funeral.
My greatest challenge, while being warded on three major occasions (the first time, in May 1989, at the old Woodbridge Hospital and the second and third time, in 1994 and April 1998 respectively, at the new hospital--located at Buangkok Green), was having to deal with the need to be seen taking the prescribed oral medicine for my "schizophrenia". (The infrequent injection of modecate into my body was regarded by me as an unavoidable "occupational risk". It is a sacrifice that I have had made with no ill-effects.) The daily rounds of oral medicine-taking, which included consuming the drug chlorpromazine, was watched by the observant nursing staff. I had to let them watch my "consumption" of the medicinal tablets. Thus, I achieved my purpose of my "schizophrenic" guise--and yet prevented myself from having to suffer from any side-effects of an actual consumption!
(There were occasions, however, when I failed to succeed in pretending to consume the oral medicine--and the dosage prescribed to me was too high! I had to suffer the consequent side-effects of such an "occupational risk"--drowsiness, giddiness and even, on one occasion, fainting!)
After every period of usually short-term hospitalisation, I was discharged with the instruction to follow-up my drug treatment by visiting the outpatient clinic (at first at the old Woodbridge Hospital and later at the Institute of Mental Health) regularly for psychiatric consultation, my supply of oral medication and injection. Over these long years, I maintained my feigned psychiatric profile with such regular visits--so successfully that even my own family members believed I was a "schizophrenic"!
I have reached the point in this stage of my life when I no longer have to keep up or maintain my "schizophrenic" guise or profile. That is why I have stopped my regular visits to the Institute of Mental Health as a "recovered" outpatient. For the past few months, I have established myself, through the Internet blogs and websites, as a recognised political commentator, critic and writer.
I am looking forward to continue my new life as a political critic and writer with long-held anti-PAP (and, especially, anti-LKY) views.
And, dear Singaporeans, that is how and what I have transformed myself into--in the course of my life during these past long years--to protect myself as a political critic and writer with anti-PAP (and, especially, anti-LKY) views--to ensure that I can serve the cause of democracy and to fight for the recognition, respect and observance of human rights, as a Singaporean writer and political critic with long-held anti-PAP (and, especially, anti-LKY) opinions, beliefs and ideas!
Thirty-Two Long Years of "Immorality", "Insanity"`, and "Criminality" in My Life and Times As An Anti-PAP Writer and Critic
Writer/Political Critic:
Coming Out From My Years As An
Underground Fighter
Why am I undermining my credibility as a writer and political critic with anti-PAP views by publicly claiming that I am an "implantee" of the PAP Government? Did I actually work as a secret mole, a covert agent or a double agent?
Well, I am ready to come out with the truth now, as I have total confidence in my judgment that the time and circumstance is now right for such a revelation.
I want to reveal to readers of my blog and web postings the real intention of such a "confession". My intention is: I want to, as an anti-PAP writer and critic, to draw the public's attention to my past attempt to protect myself as an aspiring writer and critic with long-held anti-PAP views and opinions.
To elaborate: Why would I want to claim that I am working for the PAP Government as a secret mole or covert agent or double agent? Am I a government employee in the first place? Doesn't such a claim invite readers of my blog and web postings to ask questions--as I have become recognised as an anti-PAP critic and commentator?
Readers of this present blog (http://afighterandalovertoo.blogspot.com/) and of my other related blogs (http://wholecity.blogspot.com/; and http://pre-implantationdays.blogspot.com/) would already have known that I was once a clerical officer working in the Registry of the Military Security Department in the Ministry of Defence from December 1975 to October 1976.
Having also revealed the reasons for my resignation from MSD in these blogs, I am now claiming that I am STILL working for the PAP Government! Why?
This is my disclosure for the first time in my blogs: the PAP Government has been, since my resignation from MSD in 1976, trying to prevent me from being a successful writer and political critic with anti-PAP and, especially, anti-LKY views!
I had assumed several guises, roles and capacities in the last 32 years--especially beginning from the year 1985--as a "schizophrenic", a "sexual offender" and a "thief"--in order to feign my "neutralised" condition, so as to shield and to protect myself from any government harassment and intimidation. Meanwhile, during these years of living underground, I conducted self-training and self-education for my future role and vocation as a PUBLISHED political critic and writer with widely-recognised views that are critical of the PAP Government!
The PAP Government has thus not been able to destroy me effectively as a critic and writer with anti-PAP views! For I have been biding my time during all these years--waiting for the right time and circumstances to come out openly and publicly to establish myself, finally, as a self-trained and self-educated critic and writer, with PUBLISHED anti-PAP opinions and beliefs!
My cause has been fortunately aided by the advent of the Internet--so that I can now quickly and easily PUBLISH, in the electronic media, opinions and ideas that would once not have been accepted for PUBLICATION by local publishers, whose timidity and fear of offending the PAP Government would have prevented them from PUBLISHING my anti-PAP writings!
That is why, during the last few months, beginning from April 2008, Internet users have been able to read my DARING, CHALLENGING and DEFIANT anti-PAP blog and web postings regularly--aimed at inspiring, encouraging and supporting opposition parties and critics of the PAP Government!

The Straits Times' Relationship With The Singapore Government
Masturbators in Public
The Straits Times is the most hated and criticised Singapore newspaper--politically spineless, predictable and long discredicted by its own group of unabashedly PAP ball-carrying, deceitful, unprincipled and, most importantly, well-paid "journalists". Lee Kuan Yew's role in transforming the long-established national newspaper into a big mouthpiece for the PAP Government is already well-known. God knows how many intelligence and security officers and agents from the PAP Government had been associated with the newspaper in various capacities, guises and positions in the past--and how many of the newer members are now serving in the current paper as "journalists"!
Truly independent, honest and fair-minded journalists--with professional integrity, pride and self-respect--would never have willingly allowed themselves to be so controlled and manipulated by the PAP rulers, day-in and day-out. They are not brave and honest enough to provide a true and accurate account of Singapore's developments, achievements and successes--with particular reference to the denial and suppression of human rights and democratic values by the PAP rulers.
For instance, they repeatedly and easily assume, like the PAP rulers, that Singapore's economic successes have provided them with a justification for the PAP Government's trampling of democratic values and human rights in Singapore. They refuse to question the durability and sustainability of a system based solely or mainly on economic successes. They just repeat the old argument by the PAP rulers that political freedoms will bring chaos and disintegration to Singapore society. They never ask how convincing and effective the curent PM is, as a "good" and "able" national leader?
The Straits Times tries to keep up with the times and move in tune to the age of electronic media by joining Internet surfers and bloggers in more active online expressions and discussions. But they forget that it is not the medium of communication that determines how credible or professional you are as a journalist. Rather, both the chosen subject matter (and you know how ST journalists choose--or not choose--certain subjects!) and the preferred manner of its presentation and expression (which, at present, is highly technocratic and scientific) will determine how readers or net surfers accept or reject their ideas, values and opinions--and also the presented facts and information (cunningly selective, contrived or manipulated, as commonly practiced by them at present).
I cannot clearly see how the present newspaper can change from its long-time government-controlled journalistic practices adopted in these two aspects of journalism--until there is a change of government, from the present autocratic and authoritarian one to a truly democratic and responsive government.
I can easily predict that The Straits Times will continue to be detested and dismissed by readers and online surfers for its lack of credibility, independence and professional integrity.

Non-Available Books by Political Dissidents, Critics and Opponents of the PAP Government
Please take the time (and expend the necessary effort) to carefully read this letter, posted liberally in this liberated blog of mine. It is an important document that has taken me much time and effort to create.
I wish, chiefly, to draw your proper attention to the disappointing, perplexing and puzzling NLB policy and practice of:
- keeping most books written by political dissidents, critics and opponents of the PAP Government of Singapore in the REFERENCE Sections of your public libraries (where they are only available for mere consultation, reference and on-the-spot reading);
- NOT keeping most of the same already-mentioned books in the Adult LENDING Sections of your public libraries (which ensures that these books could not be BORROWED by readers interested in Singapore politics);
- NOT ensuring that important, relevant and outstanding books written by political dissidents, critics and opponents of the PAP Government of Singapore should be freely AVAILABLE not only for reading by the public in the Reference Sections of the public libraries but also, and more importantly, for BORROWING by interested readers, who may want to retain these books at home or in their possession for at least 3 weeks (the permitted borrowing period for books)--so that they can have enough time to absorb and understand the contents of the books at their own convenience and leisure;
- NOT maintaining a high standard of professional library service to the Singaporean public as civil servants--by not PURCHASING and DISPLAYING in the Adult LENDING Sections of the public libraries (for readers to borrow) all the following important, relevant and outstanding published contributions and works on Singapore politics by critics, dissidents and opponents of the PAP Government of Singapore--namely (just to give you a brief list of these books):
- To Catch A Tartar: A Dissident in Lee Kuan Yew's Prison (Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut: 1994) by Francis Seow;
- The Singapore Miracle: Myth and Reality (Insight Press, Australia: 2006) by Rodney King;
- The Spirit of Democracy: The Struggle To Build Free Societies Throughout the World (Times Books, New York: 2008) by Larry Diamond;
- Beyond Suspicion? The Singapore Judiciary (Yale University, USA: 2007) by Francis Seow;
- The Media Enthralled: Singapore Revisited (Lynn Rienner, Boulder, Colorado: 1998) by Francis Seow;
- Those Who Dare: Voices of Asia's Democrats (Alliance for Reform and Democracy in Asia: 2006);
- Singapore: The Ultimate Island (Lee Kuan Yew's Untold Story) [Freeway Books, Australia: 1990] by T.S. Selvan;
- Singapore, My Home Too (SDP, Singapore: 1995) by Chee Soon Juan;
- Dare To Change: An Alternative Vision For Singapore (SDP, Singapore: 1994) by Chee Soon Juan;
- The Power of Courage: Effecting Political Change in Singapore Through Nonviolence (SDP, Singapore: 2005) by Chee Soon Juan;
- The Singapore Puzzle (Westport, Praeger, Connecticut: 1999) by Michael Haas (editor);
- The Political Economy of Social Control in Singapore (Macmillan, London: 1994) by Christopher Tremewan.
For your kind, deep, thoughtful, honest, wise, careful, unhindered, unhampered, unconstrained, unobstructed, unimpeded and unrestricted consideration, attention and, most important of all, action!
How The Election System in Singapore Can Be Reformed With Wisdom
PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE:
Every sincere and honest Singapore citizen is crying out for the reform of the unfair electoral system in Singapore. In its present form, it is a disgrace to democracies all over the world and an insult to our intelligence.
You, as the Head of Elections Department, have played your part in ensuring that our system of democratic elections is not to be respected in any way. Were you even-handed and equitable in your handling of election matters--like electioneering or campaigning requirements or regulations; voting rules, procedures and practices; and the use of your official jurisdiction in dealing with opposition parties?
As you surely know, ordinary Singaporeans are already prevented by the PAP Government-controlled media from free and open access to comprehensive and fair reporting of the campaign issues and subjects raised by opposition parties during the unjustly short campaign period. They are denied vital information about opposition parties' candidates--their character, educational and professional backgrounds, political beliefs, intentions, plans, messages and views (all of which play an important part in influencing their voting decisions).
Given such an obvious handicap created by the government-controlled media, the least you can do, as the honourable and respectable Head of Elections Department, is to ensure that you do not persist in supporting our PAP leaders in cheating Singaporeans of their democratic rights--by ensuring that all election candidates have a fair and equal chance in the elections. Otherwise, you would be throwing whatever remaining little trust we have in the system of our government here into the dustbin of history. I am not accusing you of corruption and dishonesty; I am just asking you to be independent, autonomous and democratic.
Please read carefully Dr Chee Soon Juan's book, YOUR FUTURE, MY FAITH, OUR FREEDOM (2001; pp. 39-41), on the much-needed vital reform of our election system. You will be surprised that a "psychopath" like Dr Chee can give Singaporeans and readers all over the world such an instructive and perceptive overview of the necessary steps and measures needed to transform our presently unequal, fettered and untrustworthy election system--into one which citizens all over the world can finally respect and applaud without reservations.
To summarise very briefly what Dr Chee has proposed: The GRC system is a blatant insult to the intelligence of the citizens of Singapore. It is supposedly designed, in theory, to ensure minority racial representations in Parliament. But in practice, as Dr Chee says in the above-mentioned book, under this system, voters are prevented from choosing the candidates they want.
Also, MPs should be elected by the people if they are to have seats in Parliament. Dates for elections must be fixed and be well-known in advance by candidates. Campaign periods must be longer than the presently stipulated usual ones. Contesting parties should be allowed the freedom to choose the time and sites for their rallies. Finally, and most importantly, an independent Elections Commission must be instituted. (Can you submit this particular proposal, as the Head of Elections Department in the PMO, to PAP leaders--so that your department can be replaced by the said commission instead? The decisions of this proposed commission must be submitted to parliament for approval and it must be accountable to the courts.)
Please do read attentively the full text in Dr Chee's book, Mr Lee Seng Lup. It is full of political wisdom and democratic insight--all that is missing from our current autocratic and authoritarian PAP Government. I hope you will respond positively to the proposed and discussed changes to our present election system.
