His way may not be the best, but dont think its something condemnable, its still his choice. Not sure if it really affects his family negatively, he seems to be doing okay. Kids seems to have good values instilled. 5 fig to zero? $$ is not everything as one gets nearer the bucket, the value of $$ drops dramatically. As usual, dont think we can agree on this.. so be it. i rest |

It is important to know that it is AFTER his introduction as an opposition candidate that he got into all sorts of controversy as how our media reported, not BEFORE. Vasoo was Chee's boss in NUS and of course, a PAP MP as well. Chee was alleged to have sent his wife's thesis to the United States using research funds and also over-claiming taxi fares that he incurred in the course of his work. But all these were AFTER he stand as an opposition candidate in the by-election. I hv to agree that there are different ways of doing things, including how he was portrayed in the media as a clown and how he was taken to task and sacked from his job. He would have been much better off financially had he not decided to stand for that fateful 1992 by-election. And that is what most of us would do. |

I salute him for his courage and persistence. How many of us can be like him. Are his family suffering with him or giving him the full support? Who are we to judge?

I doubt he is totally broke today, that he cannot afford a decent life for his family. Look at his childrens, they doesn't look malnorished. They may not have the comfort of a big home, better holidays, etc. But they are having a more dignified life. Quote:
Even in the days he was called crazy and unjustly reflected by media, my respect for him didn't change. I didn't start liking him only last year like some did. So yes, you are right, mindset may not change for all, i'm one of those whose mindset didn't change |

I think it's difficult for him and his wife to get a job in Singapore especially he is bankrupt. As for his wife, once she put her husband name on the resume, how many will still employ her? MOE, HDB, PSB, etc... and civil service job?

I dunno, but to even HAVE a car, and be able to drive his kids to school everyday, with his wife and himself not drawing any stable income.
He's not as badly off as ppl think he is, la. Btw.. Bankrupt can own HDB and car? |
