A Singapore reader posted this review on Amazon on April 27, 2006:

"Strangely, I understand why there aren't many reviews posted here, especially by Singaporeans. For fear of being on the wrong side with the government I presume.

A most daring truthful book that confirms long held suspicion. Most facts can be independently verified. In fact I chanced upon this book while researching about the Singapore legal system and how our chief justice is appointed by the president on the advice of the Prime Minister. Charming.

I love this book, completed it in a day!"

Purchasers of Escape from Paradise include Singapore Chief Justice Yong Pung How and Daim Zainuddin, Malaysia's former Minister of Finance.

    Empty threats,
    Lies, a fake office, & dodging our lawsuit
  • Helen Yeo threatened to sue Kinokuniya Books if they continued to sell Escape from Paradise in Singapore. (We have it on tape.)
  • Helen Yeo also threatened to sue the authors over Escape from Paradise - she never did. No one, especially not Helen Yeo, has dared challenge anything in Escape from Paradise or on this website.
  • This IRAS property tax document shows why. Two semi-detached houses were sold on same contract with different IRAS recording dates!!!
  • We believe Helen Yeo banned our book because it might lead to the fact that the IRAS had recorded the property as sold, months before it was sold. (The property? 69 Holland Road, now Holland Mews.)
  • We believe this was done so that bankrupt Jackie Lee Teng Jin, grandson of Tiger Balm King Aw Boon Par, could escape with his money while during his divorce -- which he did. Why did Ng Boon Gay, of the Singapore Police, fail to act?
  • Two of Helen Yeo's lawyers were the original shareholders of Goldplus Investments, the company which purchased the 69 Holland Road property. This is the only property in which Goldplus is involved. So Goldplus was set up by Helen Yeo only for the Holland Road property, now Holland Mews.
  • We sued Helen Yeo in the Unitied States Federal Court (case #CIV-02-1417-PHX-JAT), but she never appeared - see our formal complaint.
  • We sued Helen Yeo's firm, Rodyk & Davidson, for overcharging on another matter, and won. Helen Yeo didn't want our readers to see, her firm, Rodyk & Davidson, exposed by Escape from Paradise. Click!

Jackie Lee Teng Jin, missing from Singapore from 1995, when he sold 69 Holland Road to Goldplus. There was a Warrant out for his arrest, while a Caveat was in effect against the sale, and the IRAS registered the property as being sold 6 months prior to the sale. Corruption or incompetence on the part Singapore's tax authority? You choose.
A missing person for Lee Teng Jin was filed in 1996 with Officer David Wong, Singapore Police did nothing until July 2005. Finally, under pressure from this website, and emails, they revealed that Lee Teng Jin returned to Singapore! After appearing in Singapore Family Court he has rejoined his divorced wife -- a wiser and a poorer man!

Yeo Bankruptcy Scandal?

This one is hot from my banker friends.

1) Actually Yeo Cheow Tong had heavily invested in lot's of properties. He had thought of buying them and renting them out or selling them when the prices are good. Unfortunately pricing went on a down-turn thanks to his buddies Mah Bow Tan and Lim Hng Khiang for building 38,000 excessive HDB flats and driving HDB pricing to all time lows. You know a better fact, it was not he who invested but his wife...Helen Yeo but signed by him. Way to go Bitch!

2) The Banks had been banging him for a long time but even with his million dollar salary, he can't seem to service the loans. The banks had been told from PMO not to pull the plug. Yeo Cheow Tong is on a brink of Bankruptcy and should have been bankrupted 1 year back and definitely before the elections.

3) The same happened in the past when Far East nearly went under few years back. The government forced all banks to not pull the plug due to huge exposure of government projects via Far East and the government was trying to return the favour. That's why Kwek Lian Beng very tulan...the special treatment Ng Teng Fong gets.

4) PAP knowing that a Bankrupt Scandal will cause chaos and tarnish the PAP branding & party integrity had decided to issue Yeo Cheow Tong a one time payment to help pay all outstanding to the banks. It is in the range of tens of millions and in return, he would be asked to step down.


Yeo admits JP Morgan received contract for Singapore's Airport Logistics Park.
March 10, 2003, MediaCorp reported, "...The other was Singapore's Minister for Communications and Information Technology Mr. Yeo Cheow Tong's daughter - Wen Xian, who was recruited by JP Morgan, a leading Wall Street investment bank even before she started her final year at a top American university."

How did you get your daughter the job, Mr. Fired Million Dollar Minister, by promising contracts to JP Morgan? You set a shameful example by not sending your daughter to a Singapore university. Then you dare send her to the sweet life in a luxury flat on Manhattan's fashionable Chealsea area on West 19th St and work in a country whose book you and your wife have banned?

And, by the way, how did your wife's (Helen Yeo) law firm, Rodyk & Davidson, get Singapore Airlines, Silk Air, China Airlines, and Shenzhen Airlines as clients?

According to Channel News Asia, Gilbert Leong, a partner at Rodyk & Davidson, stated (idiotically), "I think that if the writings in the blog were indeed defamatory, then the person who has been defamed can actually take legal action against the blogger. In other words, he can be sued."

How stupid! Leong's intimidating statement, under these circumstances, could violate Chen's First Amendment rights.

Take heart, Chen, the cowards in Singapore will never sue you in the USA. They understand that, once they are in court, they are open to a counter-suit coming from you. Rodyk's head, Helen Yeo, threatened us, but never dared sue.

We hear, however, that it wasn't a "merger," but a buyout of Helen Yeo's firm by Rodyk. Perhaps the Helen Yeo name had become too tainted.

Why did Ms. Lee Leng Kiong, IRAS Director of Corporate Communications, take it on her own time after working hours on 22 Nov 2002 to send us a personal email with misinformation, stating "The IRAS Valuation List is a record of the person responsible for the payment of property tax for a property."

Was she trying to keep us from speaking to TODAY, the Singapore newspaper that was publishing a story on the matter? Is Ms. Lee Leng Kiong related to Mr. Lee Leng Kiong of MediaCorp, TODAY's publisher? Did he tell her that the article was being written?

We answered Mrs. Lee, citing our proof at the IRAS webpage: http://www.iras.gov.sg/Services/svcValuationList.htm.

Then the IRAS removed the webpage!

We allege that the sale of bankrupt Jackie Lee Teng Jin's 69 Holland Road property, now called "Holland Mews" should be voided as it was both an undervalue transaction and undue preference was given to the purchaser, Goldplus. We have been in touch with Foo Say Pheng, Senior Officer, of the Insolvency & Public Trustees Office on this matter, but he has done absolutely nothing. More...

California's leading book reviewer

Escape from Paradise has received an excellent review in the Fall/Winter 2002-2003 edition of The Book Reader, the prestigious publication of book reviews circulated to 113,000 book readers and 13,000 bookstores and librarians.

"And this story, of the underside of paradise, has stories within stories as a woman manages to break free from a web of wealth and power in the dictatorship of Singapore and escape to America where the word 'freedom' takes on special meaning...She comes up against the Singapore legal system—which may be legal, but its has a lot of hidden agendas...Americans have a saying: luck is a lady. And this lady and her subsequent husband have written a somber, very human tale of a woman's remarkable journey"


Why Helen Yeo Banned Escape from Paradise

Was it to protect the two fugitives and cover up a million dollar fraud?

Escape from Paradise, was banned in Singapore by Helen Yeo, a lawyer, and, more importantly, the wife of Singapore Cabinet Minister Yeo Cheow Tong. She threatened to sue any book-seller who sold Escape from Paradise for defamation. Escape from Paradise was removed from circulation, even though it was the most popular book in Singapore's National Library with all 25 copies usually checked out. The banning of Escape from Paradise is mentioned in the Library Journal.

The book is not defamatory. It does however allude to the sale by missing fugitive Jackie Lee Teng Jin of his multi-million dollar house to Goldplus, a corporation set up by Helen Yeo's law firm for Habitat (owned the by family of Indonesian fugitive, Liem Tek Siong, aka Sjamsul Nursalim).

Although not mentioned in the book, Singapore's Valuation List (13 June 1995) shows the property as being owned by Goldplus six months prior to the transfer date (26 December 1995) given by Helen Yeo in her letter to the authors.

In addition there was a Caveat issued on 19 April 1995, against the sale of the property, and a Warrant issued for the arrest of Jackie Lee Teng Jin on 29 April 1995.


Helen Yeo Unilaterally Bans
Escape from Paradise in Singapore

Through her threats to Singapore's Kinokuniya Books, Helen Yeo, former head of now defunct Singapore law firm HelenYeo & Partners, and wife of Singapore Cabinet Minister Yeo Cheow Tong, attacked us, blocking the sale of Escape from Paradise in Singapore. She had no court order and no legal basis for her action. Our book was banned by the whim of an individual, not by Singapore, and not by the law! It took us months to find out that Helen Yeo was responsible. Our guess is that she lacked the courage and decency to contact us directly with her concerns. Helen finally wrote us,"In view of your recent offensive actions, we will take action against all persons in Singapore who continue to publish or distribute the defamation originating from you."

There is nothing in the book which is untrue or which defames Helen Yeo in any way. No action taken by Helen Yeo is even mentioned in the book. The book is not about Helen Yeo; it's a better book than that.

There is nothing in Escape from Paradise to implicate Helen Yeo?unless we stumbled upon the scene of a crime without knowing it. Did we, Helen? Was there fraud involved in the Goldplus purchase 69 & 67 Holland Road? We don't know.

We don't think the Singapore government can possibly be happy about the adverse publicity Helen Yeo is generating for her country—and there is more on the way.

Our commercially reasonable expectation of selling our book in Singapore has been totally damaged by Helen Yeos extra-legal (illegal?) action.

Escape from Paradise is backed up with 20 file boxes of documentation and tape recordings.

In her threatening letter to us of July 8, 2002, Helen Yeo has admitted that her firm incorporated Goldplus, the firm related to the false recording date for the sale of a property mentioned in the book—something we knew nothing about when we wrote the book. Helen, for what purpose did your firm set up Goldplus? There must have been a reason. Why hasn't Helen Yeo answered our letter in response to her letter of July 8, 2002?

The Chief Justice of Singapore (who ordered Escape from Paradise) has not attacked us. Dan Arnold, ex-CIA Chief of Station in Thailand, and friend of Bush has not complained. Alexander Irvine, the United Kingdom's Lord Chancellor, has not complained, neither has Brunei's Prince Jefri or Brunei's Minister of Home Affairs Pehin Isa. Several members of Singapore Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew's family have read the book. Only Helen Yeo has objected.

The excerpt from the book referring to Helen Yeo's law firm can be found by clicking on "Singapore Justice," on the sidebar.

New York Bar Association Reports on Helen Yeo

The article appeared in the New York Bar Association publication, New York Lawyer on July 24, entitled, Orrick Ally Ignites Book Flap. Helen Yeo has generated some very bad publicity for herself.

Here's an excerpt:

"Helen Yeo—whose firm has a joint venture with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe in Singapore—objects to a passage about Helen Yeo & Partners in the memoir "Escape from Paradise: From Third World to First." The authors claim she threatened to sue a Singapore bookstore for defamation if it continued to sell the book. Kinokuniya Book Stores responded, they say, by pulling the book off its shelves. Asked about the allegation, the head of Kinokuniya's corporate relations department said store managers "do not wish to comment.

Yeo did not return phone calls and an e-mail message; Baxter was on vacation and unavailable for comment last week.

Yeo's firm is mentioned in a passage about a property sale by May Chu's father."



Helen Yeo has Escape from Paradise removed from Singapore's National Library
(but it is available at The British Library in London)

The original 25 copies of Escape from Paradise have now been removed from Singapore's National Library, except for one copy which remains "For Restricted Use Only ." This banning of Escape from Paradise is mentioned in the Library Journal. All copies of Escape from Paradise were in continuous circulation until Helen Yeo attacked our book.

This fact which was brought to our attention by a reader in Singapore, who wrote: "...I have a friend who is quite high up in National Library. He has verified your version of events about the book being taken out and with a single copy remaining. However, he said that NLB tried to challenge Helen Yeo's request, but this was put down by someone." Now who could that have been, Helen's husband, Yeo Cheow Tong?

The October 2002 edition of Singapore's TODAY newspaper quotes a National Library (NLB) spokesman as saying Escape from Paradise “was removed as part of our regular culling exercise. We review our titles and replace them with items ... current, and more in demand by our readers.”

The NLB 's statement is false. Usually all of the 25 copies at NLB were checked out, and with a paid waiting list. According to the records, Escape from Paradise was the NLB's most popular book.

The University of Malaya Cooperative Bookshop has ordered Escape from Paradise, and our book is available at The British Library in London, the Ohio University Library, and the Cleveland Public Library (among others) while Helen keeps Singapore in the DARK AGES.



For the Lawyers

Some points of fact and law relating to the Scam of 69 Holland Road

The Action for Divorce

Lee Teng Jin was under duress when he set out to sell the Holland Road properties. His wife had filed for divorce, and the Court had lodged a Caveat against the sale of the property.

The Caveat

Solicitors for Lee Teng Jin's wife obtained an Order-of-Court on April 19, 1995, restrained him from "disposing of or dealing in his assets including his interests or share in the sale proceeds arising from the sale of of the matrimonial property know as 69 Holland Road."

Helen Yeo's letter of July 8, 2002 to us states, "the date of the transfer of the property was 26 December 1995." This was 8 months after the Caveat was in effect. How then did Lee Teng Jin manage to sell the property??? Hmmm...

The Bankruptcy

The petition to declare Lee Teng Jin bankrupt was filed on April 4, 1996, he was adjudicated a bankrupt on June 7, 1996. Lee Teng Jin's Bankruptcy Number is B486/1996.

The Law

If the undervalue transaction involving the bankrupt's properties within five (5) years of the presentation the transaction may be avoided at the instance of the Official Assignee.

If there is an undue preference, that is a sale, disposition, payment or a transaction that gives preference to an associate of the bankrupt within two years of the presentation of the Bankrupt Petition, it may also be avoided. An associate includes a company which is controlled by the bankrupt, or by his associates.

Is someone afraid of having the sale "avoided (cancelled)???" Hmmm...

The Bankrupt Fugitive

The Straits Times, Sept. 4, 2002 - Bankrupt jailed for overseas trips

"AS AN undischarged bankrupt, Choong Kian Haw, 48, was not supposed to leave the country without the Official Assignee's (OA) permission. But he did so 44 times between Oct 11, 2000, and Jan 10 this year. Yesterday, he learnt he was no longer going anywhere as he received a six-month jail sentence. "

So how did Lee Teng Jin sell his S$9,820,000 Holland Road property in the face of a Caveat, and escape as a bankrupt from Singapore with a Warrant out for his arrest?

In Conclusion...

We allege that, because of the Caveat, and Lee Teng Jin's bankruptcy, the 69 & 67 Holland Road sales to Goldplus must be voided to pay of Lee Teng Jin's creditors, as it was both an undervalue transaction and undue preference was given to the purchasers (Goldplus shareholders). We have been contacted by Foo Say Pheng, Senior Officer, of the Insolvency & Public Trustees Office regarding this matter.

Judas Jeyaretnam?
Ahquah pig, what?

Helen Yeo's letter to us of July 8th, 2002 threatening to sue for defamation was copied to only one person—Philip Jeyaretnam. Coincidently, Philip Jeyaretnam is (or was) on Singapore's Censorship Review Committee. Was he therefore responsible for the removal of our book from Singapore's National Library? Is that why Helen copied him on her letter to us? Was Jeyaretnam the lawyer who threatened Kinokuniya Singapore on Helen's behalf to ban Escape from Paradise?

Philip Jeyaretnam is the son of JB Jeyaretnam, an unsuccessful but harmless Singapore opposition politician, who himself has been destroyed and bankrupted by Singapore's famous defamation lawsuits.

The son, Philip Jeyaretnam, now serves the same masters who destroyed his father.

Philip Jeyaretnam has now been elevated to the rank of Senior Counsel by Singapore's Chief Justice Yong Pung How, the same judge who bankrupted his father. This was certainly not an award for filial peity!

Philip Jeyaretnam has written a semi-autobiographical novella, Abraham's Promise, which can be found at the Asian Gay & Lesbian site, below. We are not against alternate lifestyles, as is Singapore, but we find it ironic that Baby Jeya should become an Ah Qua cultural icon. No wonder brother Kenneth Jeyaretnam wants nothing to do with Philip. Click on the image to visit (if you are over 18).

Goodness gracious, Yong Pung How,
now what have you done!

The Decline & Fall of Helen Yeo (and hubby)

  • July 2002: Helen "bans" Escape from Paradise, by threatening Singapore's leading bookstore, Kinokuniya, with a law suit if they did not remove Escape from Paradise from their shelves, as she "objected" to its chapter, The Scam of 69 Holland Road.
  • July 2002: We uncover Helen's motive for threatening to sue us—the rapid property transfer between two fugitives along with the bogus IRAS registration date.
  • Aug. 2002: Helen's husband, Singapore Cabinet Minister Yeo Cheow Tong, misuses the prestige of his position by having Escape from Paradise removed from Singapore's National Library.
  • Nov. 2002: Helen loses her law firm, as it "merges" with another firm.
  • Nov. 2002: Singapore's tax authority, the IRAS defends its part in the property transfer by sending us misleading emails, and removing its "incriminating" web page! Click!
  • Nov. 2002: We discover Helen's purported Rangoon law office is run out of a dress shop.
  • Dec. 2002: Yeo Cheow Tong is expelled from Singapore's ruling People's Action Party (PAP) all powerful Central Executive Committee.
  • Jan. 2003: Helen loses her joint venture partnership with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, her U. S. joint venture partner. Too shameful for the news to report until The Business Times breaks the news on April 1, 2003.
  • Apr. 2003: Singapore Cabinet shuffle marks the end of Yeo Cheow Tong's career.
  • May 2005: Singapore news blackout of Helen Yeo continues.
  • July 2005: Yeo Cheow Tong makes media comeback. Aspires to become Deputy Prime Minister - following attack on former Prime Minister, Goh Chok Tong, over National Kidney Foundation scandal.
  • May 2006: Helen Yeo's husband, Yeo Cheow Tong, fired as Singapore Minister of Transport, over alleged financial difficulties.
  • June 2007 (circa): Yeo Cheow Tong hired as glorified office boy by shady Indonesian Riady family. Yeo's pay? A reported S$22,000 per month, less than 1/5th of his government salary.

Amazon's #1 best seller in Singapore for SIX years running - Escape from Paradise. No one dared challange our facts! How Helen's law lost a lawsuit for cheating one of our authors! Her fake office in Burma. The scam of 69 Holland Road -- it's all in Escape from Paradise. Who sent the wrong information to falsify the 69 Holland Road property record? Why did the Singapore Police let Jackie Lee escape?

The CIA in Singapore
This letter confirms what Escape from Paradise revealed

"Great, I really enjoyed your book best wishes on the updated version so much is still out there, I hope you can connect all the dots." Scott Barnes, the CIA operative, author of Bohica, from whose Senate testimony (in front of John Kerry) we learned so much about the CIA's Dan Arnold for our book, May 24, 2004

Scott Barnes met with us in Phoenix on August 7, 2004 and corroborated what we wrote about the CIA's Dan Arnold.

Nursalim's
Holland Mews
(69 Holland Road)
A Monument to Corruption
Holland Mews

Helen Yeo banned Escape from Paradise over the "Scandal of 69 Holland Road," now the Holland Mews condo project. Initially, only 5 units were optioned.

So now they had to "relaunch."

Who bought these units, years before they will be ready on March 30, 2006? We don't find them Singapore's Valuation List. A mini-HPL?

The occupancy date is over ten years after the property was purchased by Goldplus (incorporated by Helen Yeo). How can you make money keeping a property vacant for ten years?

You cannot! Does IRAS care? Apparently not.


The Straits Times
Threatens to Sue over our exposure of PM Goh's son...
We demand an apology!

We received the last of the 3 threatening emails (Click to read) from Angeline Lee, Corporate Counsel of The Straits Times, on Friday, May 23, 2003 over our article on Prime Minister Goh's son (below). Like Helen Yeo, The Straits Times has made only empty threats of a lawsuit. They know they are in the wrong, and their failure to sue is proof.

In November 2004, Angeline Lee, Corporate Counsel for Singapore Press Holdings, who lied that she would sue me last year (and didn't), sends me a series of virus emails.

Threatened to sue us,
but did not dare

Did we drive The Straits Times (ST) off the Internet?
The StraitsTimes threatened us with false lawsuits, and did what they could to silence our comments on their coverage. Now, from March 20, 2005, access will be restricted to those who pay a high fee (S$120), and who wants to pay for Singapore's Pravda?


Coverup?
Prime Minister
Goh Chok Tong's Son Conceals SARS case?

The Straits Times is hiding the fact that Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong's son
failed to diagnose Singaporean Lee Chong Kian as having SARS even though Goh, Jr. / his clinic had seen Lee
five times in a week.

The Straits Times, May 20, 2003, did not reveal that the doctor whose clinic is at fault is Goh Jin Hian (inset),Goh Jin Hian the privileged son of Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. Was Goh Jin Hian concealing the SARS case with thenowledge of the Singapore Government?

Any other doctor in Singapore would be quarantined and penalized...Instead, the Prime Minister's golden boy Goh, Jr. heads up a multmillion dollar medical empire. Goh Jr. is the Group General Manager for Parkway Group Healthcare and Chief Operating Officer of Mount Elizabeth Hospital. He is also the Executive Director of Parkway Shenton, the corporate services arm of Parkway.

Is Helen's associate, Michael Henry Winton the same person allegedly involved with forgery in the death of five Australian journalists in Indonesia?


Article in Today

The article in the December 2, 2002 edition of TODAY was well-written, and correct. In Escape from Paradise we never revealed that Datin Aw was destitute. She was very generous, especially with her sons, Jackie Lee Teng Jin, and Jimmy Lee Teng Lay. She paid all their expenses, and gave them the now infamous houses at 67 and 69 Holland Road. Jackie and Jimmy have now sold the Holland road houses and have left Singapore with their millions, and do not support the person who made their wealth possible— their mother, Datin Aw.

The TODAY article states, "Ms Lee’s book was removed from bookshops because of legal complications." Today does not dare identify Helen Yeo as the person responsible for the "legal complications." We understand TODAY'S position—the newspaper does not want to be pulled off the shelves like our book. TODAY has taken a courageous first step.

Singapore, the Rogue Nation, refuses to sign international treaties

The law-abiding nations of the world have signed the Hague Convention,
which provides for legal cooperation between nations.
The USA and Malaysia are members of the Hague Convention.
Singapore & the Axis of Evil (Iraq, Iran, & North Korea) have NOT signed.
This helps protect Singaporeans (including Helen Yeo) from foreign lawsuits.

Moreover, Helen Yeo's threatened lawsuit against us is barred by US law. Her threat is called a "SLAPP," a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. If you are the target of a SLAPP, you may receive a demand letter from the lawyer representing the SLAPP filer which lists a series of "options" you must meet to resolve the matter before a lawsuit is actually filed. Often, the letter will demand a sum of money, an apology (generally public), your agreement to refrain from speaking out or participating in the future.
