Chee Soon Juan a changed man?

In an interview with Wanbao, he said that he was proud of his past deeds and there was nothing to be sorry about. 

If he is proud of his past, then he is still the same Chee Soon Juan . He has not changed one bit. 

There is no basis for change if one does not feel sorry about anything. There is no basis for change if one is proud of one's past.

If the past is something to be proud of, why does Chee Soon Juan work so hard to portray himself as a changed man?

Because he knows that Singaporeans will not accept the Chee Soon Juan that they knew from the past.

In order to win votes, he knows he has to portray himself differently to make himself acceptable to voters. But that portrayal is just a deception.

Character is permanent.

Chee Soon Juan has not changed and his mission has not changed. 

His mission is to fight for his liberal idea of democracy. Bukit Batok is not his concern. Bukit Batok is just an opportunity to him, a chance to get into Parliament for his mission. 

Q: On what you said about how Dr Chee has changed his image, but inside he hasn’t changed, would you be concerned if he were to be elected?

PM Lee: Yes, I would be concerned. Because it will mean that there is somebody that’s being elected who is able to just gloss over bad things which have been done, and which he has not come to terms with or acknowledged, and he’s now presenting himself as a new man – reinvented – and yet, unchanged, and unregretful and unrepentant.

And I think it’s not possible, if you are a changed person, well then there must be a basis on which you say: ‘What I did previously, I regret, I’m sorry, I now resolve to go in a different direction, I resolve to be a different sort of leader.' But here he told the Wanbao: ‘I don’t regret anything which I did, all my crazy history, I’m proud of what I had done, and I am what I am’.

But actually, he is not what he is, because what he says is one thing, but the reality is quite different, and what he did yesterday at the rally, allowing his colleagues to hit at David Ong in a most unbecoming manner, and then he comes along in benign, almost beatific way, and say: ‘We must not hit people who are down, that’s very bad, anyone can make mistakes – even good people,’ I think it shows that his character has not changed.
                                 
                            **********************************************************

 Because his mission is really to fight for his liberal idea of democracy, he appears wherever an opportunity presents for him to try to get to Parliament. That is why in every election that he has contested in the past, he has gone from one constituency to another, appearing only during election time and completely disappears once he has lost. 

The interests of the residents are not his concern. The constituency is just a stepping stone for him to go to parliament.

Hypocrisy Exposed!

Talk is cheap! It's performance, not promises. Deeds, not words. 

Bukit Batok Here I Come

He promised to make Bukit Batok the model town that will be the envy of Singapore.

He has no new proposals to make that is not already done. He is unable to say how he would make Bukit Batok the envy of Singapore.

But he kicked off his campaign with a demand: a demand for all the blueprints from URA and HDB for Bukit Batok.

And then he declared that if elected he would push for all of PAP's projects to be done in Bukit Batok.

Thus will Chee Soon Juan transform Bukit Batok into a model town - with PAP projects and plans. 

Is Chee Soon Juan relevant to Bukit Batok then?

Does it make sense to take the PAP projects from a competent PAP town council to give to Chee Soon Juan to implement?

Then he declared that he would be a full-time MP. 

He will be doing everything himself. He will not outsource anything, including help for residents.

He thinks working with voluntary welfare organizations is outsourcing help. Does he understand that needs can be very complex and often it takes a whole community to help people?

This leads you to wonder if he knows what helping people entails.

When you  think that you can do away with a team, when you think that you can do away with voluntary welfare organisations, when you think that you alone will be able to help people, in all likelihood, you have never helped anyone before and you don't know what it takes to help people.

When you don't even begin to understand what it takes to help people, then clearly you are not a suitable person to help people. 

He wants you to think that being a full-time MP will make him a great MP. 

That's because he brings with him no contributions or ability that he can boast of that will make him the best person to run a town council, no relevant work experience he can draw on to convince you that he is the best candidate. 

 
He thinks it is humanly impossible for anyone to hold a full time job and still be able to serve people well as an MP.

But what does he know about juggling different responsibilities and time management when he has no full-time job?

He forgets that all our ministers and ministers of state have a very heavy load at their various ministries and are still able to serve their residents well.

The measure of a good MP is not his first destination in the morning.

The measure of a good MP is firstly his integrity, ability, competency, dedication and time management, how sincere he is in serving people, how well he listen to his residents, how keen he is in discerning their needs and how creative and resourceful he is in rendering help, in mobilising volunteers and the community to come together to work for a good cause and more.

But integrity is clearly lacking in Chee Soon Juan. 

When caught in a difficult situation and having to give an answer STRAIGHTAWAY with no time to think of the best answer, Chee's first instinct is to lie.

On Nomination day, SDP had prematurely put up their banners before nomination was announced thus violating the rules of election, and had to take them down.

Instead of admitting that a mistake was committed, Chee Soon Juan said that he was 'just trying it out'.

That's just unbelievable! And re-LIAR-able as well.

It confirms that character is permanent.  

If Chee Soon Juan really cares for the residents of Bukit Batok, why hasn't he come up with some plans for them? 

Because by his own admission, his mission is to change the system in Singapore, to fight for his brand of liberal democracy. 

In his own words, he is not interested in people. He is only interested in changing the system in Singapore.  

In an interview with Zaobao in 2010, when asked if he regretted entering into politics, he said he had no regrets because fighting for democracy is 'bigger and pressing mission'.

This also explains why in all the elections in which he has contested, he has gone from constituency to constituency or GRC. 

 
People are not his concern. Fighting for democracy is. The constituency or GRC is just a stepping stone for him to try to get into Parliament to achieve his mission. 

Chee admitted to receiving foreign funds

So how did Chee Soon Juan manage to raise a family of three children with a homemaker wife when he does not have a job all these years?

In the Zaobao interview in 2010, Chee was asked if he was bankrolled by foreign money.

The reporter had to ask the question 7 times in different ways to get the answers. Chee was evasive and after much probing, said that he received 'research grants' to do research on 'different things'.

That Chee refused to specify the type of 'research' he was doing during the interview was very telling.

Here's a partial transcript of the interview:

Q: People may find it hard to think you can keep a family, just on books.
A: Whatever I can live on. Sometimes we get help, I mean not help lah. People, relatives and so on and so forth. It does get into a, a...

Q: So people are wrong to say you've been getting money?
A: I don't know, where do you get this. People keep saying. I don't..

Q: If they are wrong, then I can write that they are wrong. I'll say they are wrong.
A: No, I mean, I've always write as an academic, you get research, you apply for research grants. I've gone overseas. I've got some awards for writing. Had stints overseas where fellowships that kind of thing. These things all helped a bit. I write research grants that kind of thing.

Q: Research on democracy?
A: er, other things lah. Not just, different areas as well.

Q: Which areas? Psychology?
A: Sometimes they are all related, human behavior, different things.

FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY OR FIGHTING FOR THE RESIDENTS OF BUKIT BATOK?

In an interview with Zaobao in 2010, Chee Soon Juan was asked if he regretted going into politics.

“Absolutely not. I’m not saying this to sound like some hero. I really do love teaching and research, that’s my first love. But to fight for democracy for Singapore, now that’s a bigger and more pressing mission. I have no regrets whatsoever,” he said.

By his own admission, Chee is in politics to fight for democracy. That is a bigger and more pressing mission to him.

What kind of democracy is he fighting for? Whose definition of democracy is he fighting for?

So you think he cares for the residents of Bukit Batok?

Bukit Batok, for Chee, represents an opportunity for him, another chance to get into parliament where he can voice his ideas of 'democracy'.

That is why he has no concrete plans for Bukit Batok beyond the empty rhetoric of "We are One. We are Bukit Batok".

And that is also why Sadasivam Veriyah, the SDP candidate who stood in Bukit Batok in 2015 had to make way for him.

Does Chee Soon Juan know what it takes to help people?

He will not outsource help for residents to voluntary welfare organisations if elected because it is not right, he said. 

So he will be a full-time MP and do everything himself. A one-man operation working as hard as he is campaigning now. He thinks that is enough to help people.

He wants to push for PAP projects. Is Chee Soon Juan relevant?

Chee Soon Juan said that if elected he would push for all of David Ong's proposals to be implemented.

Let's try a little logical reasoning here.

- CSJ has been unemployed for many, many years.
- He has no work experience whatsoever to speak of.
- His only experience is in writing books about himself and democracy, and talking.

He wants to take over the PAP projects from Jurong-Clementi Town Council.

Think about this.
Between an unemployed man with no work experience at all, and Jurong-Clementi Town Council with their track record having already implemented 5 NRP in Bukit Batok, who will you trust to carry to completion David Ong's proposals?

Jurong-Clementi Town Council of course.

Would you remove a competent, proven team and give their projects to an inexperienced team that is confused over money and the projects?

Chee has just made himself irrelevant and redundant. 

He really only wants to go to Parliament to talk about democracy and Bukit Batok represents just an opportunity to him. 



One cannot help but recall his proposal to Workers' Party during the Punggol East by-election in 2013 when he suggested a partnership with WP where WP would run the town council while he made speeches in parliament. Haha
