Dr Chee Soon Juan launches book to raise funds to discharge his bankruptcy

Singapore’s opposition leader and Secretary-General of the Singapore Democratic Party Dr Chee Soon Juan has launched his latest book ‘Democratically Speaking’ to raise funds to discharge his bankruptcy.


Dr Chee was bankrupted via a series of lawsuits launched by PAP leaders in 2006 and was unable to contest in the 2006 and 2011 General Election as a result.

Though he is not in parliament, Dr Chee is instrumental in raising public awareness of Singapore’s draconian laws suppressing human rights, far more than the elected ‘opposition’ whose pro-PAP MPs have earn the ire of disgruntled Singaporeans lately for not daring to speak up.

Dr Chee has published many books and is well respected in the West as a prominent Human Rights fighter in Singapore, in stark contrast to another long-term opposition MP who does nothing to advance democracy in Singapore other than put up a ‘wayang kulit’ together with the ruling party to lend a veneer of legitimacy to its autocratic rule.

Get the book at:

Kinokuniya: Ngee Ann City, Bugis Junction and Liang Court
Times: Tampines 1, Paragon, Centrepoint, Jelita, Jurong Point
Select Books: 51, Armenian Street
Books Actually: 9, Yong Siak Street
Precious Words: #01-03, 16 Collyer Quay
Prologue: #04-16, ION Orchard

Watch the book launch at the Substation on 5 August below which was NOT attended by any ‘opposition’ MPs who are aligned to the PAP:

Maybe Chee thinks now is the ripe time to participate in the next elections, looking at general mood of the 40%. To do that, he got to be discharged from bankruptcy.
