TR EMERITUS

Written by Our Correspondent Prominent PAP grassroots leader and personal friend of Foreign Minister PBM Jack Neo may appear to be a funny comedian in real life, but he is actually a "tiger" when it comes to sex, according to his former mistress 22 year old Wendy Chong. In a no-holds-bar inteview with The New Paper, Wendy revealed how PBM Jack Neo "nudged" her into having sex with him for the first time a month after they met. PBM Jack Neo invited her to watch the editing of "Money No Enough 2" after which it started raining. Both of them had to run to his car and that was the first time PBM Jack Neo held her hand. Wendy told TNP: "It is really not that difficult to resist. He started by putting his left arm around me while he was driving. Then he caressed me on the thigh. And when he stopped the car to kiss me, one thing led to another." From her description, it seemed that Wendy was not quite prepared for PBM Jack Neo's sexual advances though she eventually succumbed to the temptation. It was not revealed if PBM Jack Neo used any protection during the "contact" and if he kept condoms in his car which has curtains perhaps to "facilitate" his sexual exploits. Wendy claimed that Jack reminded her after the "session" to make sure that no "hair" is left behind. The sensational revelation had gripped the entire nation as Jack Neo is a well known figure in the entertainment industry and arguably the most successful Singapore movie director to date. Furthermore, he is associated with the PAP which is known for its squeaky "clean" image and was even praised by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong during a National Day Rally speech. PBM Jack Neo was awarded a PBM for his grassroots work in 2004 and a Cultural Medallion in 2005. Foreign Minister George Yeo was quick to jump to the defence of his friend PBM Jack Neo and implored Singaporeans to rally around him when he had maintained a two month silence on the death of a man being maimed in a traffic accident by a vehicle driven by a Romanian diplomat.   Related articles: 1.

Written by Our Correspondent Singapore's Foreign Minister George Yeo is not well known for his "empathy", but he has rallied behind disgraced movie director PBM Jack Neo almost immediately after his sexual exploits was widely publicized by the media. It is reported that Mr Yeo is a personal friend of Jack Neo who is a PAP member, prominent grassroots leader and was awarded a PBM for his "services" to the PAP during the 2004 National Day Rally. PBM Jack Neo was reported to have an affair with a freelance model 28 years old younger than him Wendy Chong and made sexual overtures to another actress Foyce Le Xuan. Mr Yeo claimed that Jack called him to inform him of the affair before the news broke last Saturday. Jack Neo has forged close ties with PAP MPs including Mr Yeo over the years. He is awarded the PBM in 2004 and a Cultural Medallion in 2005 for his accomplishments in the movie industry. Writing on his blog, Mr Yeo said: "Life is a long and often difficult journey, and what Jack and his family are going through is what he might have presented in his own movie, except that this time it is about himself." He also urged Singaporeans to rally around Jack and his family: "We are used to having Jack make us laugh, bring cheer to our daily lives, explain our trials and make them easier to bear. Let us rally around Jack, his wife and his children at this time." With due respect to Mr Yeo, though he is used to having Jack tickle his toes, the women who were "preyed on" by Jack are definitely not amused by him. One of them, Foyce Le Xuan described her short stint with Jack's entertainment group as a "traumatic experience" after he tried to bed her several times. The empathy and understanding displayed by Mr Yeo to Jack appeared to contradict his callous response to a molest victim seeking help on his Facebook: An irate netizen tipped us off on an exchange between George Yeo and a young lady by the name of Miss Ang on 11 January 2010: [Source: George Yeo's Facebook, 11 January 2010 ] Miss Ang reported a case of molest in November last year to the police and has not received a reply from them yet. Instead of offer her help and solace, Mr Yeo replied in a curt manner: "Please see your MP" In another instance, Mr Yeo did not comment on the double hit and run road traffic accident at Bukit Panjang involving a Romanian diplomat which killed a young man for two months till the media asked him about it. His answer: "What happened is very bad." A more apt response from Mr Yeo in this case should be: Jack: "I am screwed by the media." George: "Please see your MP. (Teo Chee Hean if he is not napping)" Media: "What do you think of Jack's affair?" George: "What happened is very bad."   Related articles: 1.

Written by Our Correspondent After proclaiming that the Singapore economy is set to start growing again this year, the PAP ministers have been quick to increase their own pay and now it seems that the Town Councils will be raising their S&C charges as well. Two PAP Town Councils Aljunied and Jurong have announced that they will raise their monthly service and conservancy (S&C) charges from April onwards, citing "higher maintenance and operating costs." According to information posted on their websites, charges will go up by between 50 cents and $4.50 for Singapore homeowners, depending on the type of flat. At least three angry readers have emailed us the flyers they received informing them of the hike in S&C charges: Attached below are the revised charges for Aljunied: One reader told us that he suspected that the hike is linked to the investment losses suffered by the Town Council: "I don't see the opposition wards increasing their S&C charges, why only us? How much did they lose in Lehman? Should open their accounts and let us residents have a look! Where is the transparency?" Another added: "To us a few dollars mean alot. We are not so rich like GIC which can afford to lose billions of dollars in a flash!" Aljunied Town Council claimed on its website that "it was 'no longer sustainable' to maintain charges at the current level without running into an operating deficit. Keeping the current charges would mean deteriorating standards over time, which would only raise costs further." On their websites, both town councils said the increases were not tied to losses made in investments linked to the failed Lehman Brothers investment bank. While the economy has improved this year, its effects are hardly felt by ordinary Singaporeans whose wages remain stagnant as the cost of living continues to rise. As a certain percentage of their multi-million salary package is pegged to GDP growth, the PAP ministers are quick to raise their own salaries by an estimated 8.8 percent which will cost Singapore taxpayers another $58 million dollars or so. A quick check reveals that the S&C charges for Potong Pasir are only about 70 to 80 percent that of Aljunied: The hike in electrical tariffs and cleaning costs affect the whole of Singapore including Potong Pasir. Why then did Potong Pasir not increase its S&C charges. Are PAP MPs less efficient than opposition MPs in managing the Town Councils? As expected, the state media jumped quickly to the defence of the PAP Town Councils without revealing the truth that the opposition is able to run their estates equally as well with less S&C charges. It was reported in 2008 that the PAP Town Councils have accumulated millions of dollars in their sinking funds to save for rainy days. The two PAP Town Councils should reveal their sinking funds before asking Singaporeans to pay more for the S&C charges.  Read More →
