Helen's Client, Indonesian fugitive, Liem Tek Siong, alias Sjamsul Nursalim, alias Liem Tjoen Ho, whose family owns Habitat, and bought Goldplus, which had just purchased 69 Holland Road, now called Holland Mews. Why wasn't Holland Mews ready for occupancy until 2005? Could this delay have anything to do with the Statute of Limitations? What developer lets a property stand vacant for 10 years (Goldplus purchase was in 1995).
"Indonesian officials have complained that Singapore is dragging its heels in signing an extradition deal because it does not want to lose billions of dollars allegedly deposited there by corrupt Indonesian businessmen. Many Indonesian businessmen fled to Singapore following the 1997 regional economic crisis, leaving huge debts to the government." (Asia Times Online Ltd.) |
Helen's Client, Securities crook Raymond Lum Guilty of insider trading in the US, and fined US$2.25 million by the United States. Plus four dead due to Nicoll Highway collapse. |
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.

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.
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?

Two semi-detached houses sold on same contract with different IRAS Valuation dates!!! Only in Singapore...
Referring to 67 and 69 Holland Road, we wrote the IRAS, "Since these properties were transferred at the same time, it is strange that the records for the two properties are different." 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!

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 countryand there is more on the way.
Our commercially reasonable expectation of selling our book in Singapore has been totally damaged by Helen Yeo’s 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 booksomething 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 & San Francisco Legal Publications Report on Helen Yeo
Helen, have you seen the articles published in the USA about your attack on Escape from Paradise? Brenda Sandburg from San Francisco, whom you know, wrote about you in The Recorder on July 22. Her article was entitled, No Pesky 1st Amendment (meaning no free speech in Singapore).
The article also 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 Yeowhose firm has a joint venture with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe in Singaporeobjects 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.
Some points of fact and law relating to the Scam of 69 Holland Road
The Action for DivorceLee 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.

Baby Jeya's book
(see below) |
Helen Yeo's letter to us of July 8th, 2002 threatening to sue for defamation was copied to only one personPhilip 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).

Holland Mews
(69 Holland Road)
A Monument to Corruption
Again in the news!
Helen Yeo banned Escape from Paradise over the "Scandal of 69 Holland Road," now the Holland Mews condo project. So far only 3 units have been sold.
So now they have 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.
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.

Angeline Joyce Lee
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?

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),
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.

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
