A History Of Violence

In 1987, it was Teo Soh Lung at the receiving end:
"I looked at the officer's face and believed that he wouldn't use his hands. But I looked at his knuckles and they told me he knew karate. I was afraid. He was DSP Benny Lim.

There was one male officer who came in and shouted something. My answer did not satisfy him or rather he was not prepared to be convinced. He gave me four hard slaps. I stared at him and he challenged loudly if I was going to remember his face and complain. I did not respond. The slaps sent a gush of hot blood to my face. I could feel a stinging warmth. After slapping me, he walked out of the room."

Even ex-solicitor general Francis Seow was not spared:
"He was as threatening and as vulgar and as obscene as his Malay colleague, warning me that he was a hot-tempered man and could not control himself as well as his Malay colleague. Unless I spoke out, he threatened to hit me and, as I persevered in my silence, he swung his fist at me. I braced myself for the blow, again, but his fist, too, stopped just short inches from my face. They were without any doubt the goon squad. They were nasty, ugly - like men deranged."

In 2014, three Indian nationals have filed a formal complaint of police brutality. Arun Kaliamurthy, Rajendran Mohan and Ravi Arun Vengatesh were allegedly subjected to racial slurs, threats that they would be put to death and physical violence at the hands of rogue officers. Extracts from the affidavit:
"He was sat against a pillar in the middle of the two officers while they questioned him. During this time, he was repeatedly told to admit to his involvement in the riots. When he denied these allegations, the female officer, of Indian origin, punched Arun in the ribs with her fists. The female police officer also told Arun that 5 police officers have been killed and that he was to be hung. He was told that even if he kissed her foot, he would still be hanged."

"At this point, Rajendran was asked to admit to his involvement in the riots. When he refused to admit to something he had not done, the IO inflicted a backhanded punch on him in the stomach.  He was then told that if he chose not to admit to his involvement at this stage, the punishment he would receive would be a lot more severe. Following this denial, the IO then poured a bottle of cold water over him and lowered the temperature in the room.  The IO also used the bottle to whack him on the head, albeit not viciously."

"He (Ravi Arun Vengatesh) was then transported to the CID headquarters where he was subsequently brought into an interrogation room and was asked to sit on the floor. Even before any questions were asked, he was slapped 4 to 5 times. When he protested to the physical abuse and declared his innocence in the riot, the IO at the time told him, even before being tried in a court of law, that he must be guilty if not he would not have been arrested in the first place."

In George Orwell's Animal Farm, Napoleon confiscates nine puppies,and secludes them in a loft. Napoleon rears them into fierce, elitist dogs that act as his security guards. The dogs are the only animals other than the pigs that are given special privileges.

The animals are still in charge. Benny Lim was appointed Permanent Secretary PMO in 2011. Police Commissioner Ng Joo Hee used to work for Benny in the ISD. Eric Tan, Benny's go between for ISD/Singapore government and the Church in the Marxist Conspiracy sham of 1987, was moved laterally over the $1.7 million embezzled by his CPIB Assistant Director Edwin Yeo, but you betcha he's still on the payroll.

  1. What kind of animal would assault an innocent woman forcibly abducted and imprisoned? And to be generously rewarded for that? Time for change and the truth be told.

    1. These Animals holding important positions are from the LKY obedience school. It is imperative the majority of Singaporeans not only know about this but show the resolve to make things right with their votes in 2016.
      Make PAP the minority and I am sure a special animal hunting squad can be formed to round them up, those beyond rehabilitation should be put down.

    2. Calling these folks animals is an insult to all the animals that share our planet.

  3. No worries...
    when things go to hell quickly...
    Even sheep won't want to die for them...
    Let the "so called" elite do the fighting and dying then...when there is nowhere to run or hide...
    irony for you there...

  4. Only upon fear of death for self or loved ones will we see true allegiance. How many will sacrifice themselves among the elites?

    Being elitist here means having properties, income ( high ) and influential ( in the background)... the fall of the party may witness the worms crawling out... how many will? how many will remain while it sinks?

    It will indeed be a very interesting event.. if only if it was revealed!

    But that day is very, very far off and it may never come.

    1. I hope the useless Pee M understands that it may take a violent ending to bring closure to this violent truth.

      The little India incident is a sample of an unexpected scenario and of greater concern is the lack of sympathy and support for the Pee M and his stooges. LOL

  7. Violence for the masses, privilege for the elites. $20m ransom became $2m, then "victim" was set free and the $2m already laid under a tree was retrieved by boyz in blue and returned to the in law, and finally the kidnappers' identity were somehow whispered to the gods. Membership has its privileges, and die die I no believe the "police" are not in cahoots with the dark side. wat do I know, I am too dumb.

  9. ...the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer-except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs.

  10. You forgot to mentioned those poor PRC bus drivers also sent home under the same operatus moderanti as the Indian foreign workers. In this age, it is strange they can't produce a single video clip as evidence but it is evident that they seemed to have reared a gang of animals in the force.

    Ancient wise chinese proverb say the word "Official" has 2 mouths, still very appropriate until this day in our Rule of the Law.

  12. The history of violence in Singapore is the old fart's legacy, learned during the Japanese Occupation. Here is what he said:

    "The Japanese Military Administration governed by spreading fear. It put up no pretence of civilised behaviour. Punishment was so severe that crime was very rare. In the midst of deprivation after the second half of 1944, when the people half-starved, it was amazing how low the crime rate remained. . . . As a result I have never believed those who advocate a soft approach to crime and punishment, claiming that punishment does not reduce crime."

    "I had not yet read Mao's dictum that "power grows out of the barrel of a gun", but I knew that Japanese brutality, Japanese guns, Japanese bayonets and swords, and Japanese terror and torture . . . could make people change their behaviour, even their loyalties. The Japanese not only demanded and got their obedience; they forced them to adjust to a long-term prospect of Japanese rule, so that they had their children educated to fit the new system, its language, its habits and its values, in order to be useful and make a living."

  13. these so called public officers have been incentivised to do things that actually harm the public interest... sad.

  14. //he must be guilty if not he would not have been arrested in the first place//
    If that does not define a police state, I don't know what does.

  15. We are going to fly in 57 of those deported when the COI starts it's work, no? At taxpayers expense, presumably. Am assuming the Honourable ex Judge and his fellow Commisioners do like to uncover the Whole Truth.

  16. Every time there are accusations of abuse, they would come out with denials after their so called investigations.
    I wonder if they had cried wolf too often for people to believe what they say . Why dont they take a poll.
    Someday when tides are turned, I hope all these 'civil' servants who know they are guilty will finally face justice.
