How Tony Tan is related to the Lee family

A bunch of relatives and lackies

PAP is one of most corrupt party in the world. One sees many elected officers of PAP as well as top civil servant are relative of one another.

Family of Shylock

Kwa Siew Tee is Lee Kuan Yew’s father-in-law (i.e, Kwa Geok Choo’s father). Lee Kuan Yew’s mother-in-law (i.e, Kwa Geok Choo’s mother, Wee Yew Neo) and Bankster Tan Chin Tuan’s wife (Helen Wee) are sisters. So Tan Chin Tuan is LKY’s uncle-in-law. Tony Tan is Tan Chin Tuan’s nephew.

Both Kwa Siew Tee and Tan Chin Tuan were top banksters of OCBC. The financialization of Singapore’s economy whereby banksters parasite feed on the productive citizen can easily be understood — if one is aware how deeply Lee Kuan Yew is connected with shylock.

Both Wee Yew Neo and Helen Wee are daughters of Wee Theam Seng (i.e, Kwa Geok Choo's maternal grandfather). In other words, both Kwa Siew Tee and Tan Chin Tuan are son-in-laws of Wee Theam Seng.

Relationship between Tony Tan and Tan Chin Tuan can be found in this article, ‘Tony Tan pays tribute to banker Tan Chin Tuan’ (Business Times, 18/11/2005).

Tony Tan the best actor

In public, Tony Tan shows himself as a humble and wise man. Unfortunately nothing is further from truth. Nothing good can be expected from scion of bankster. While Singaporean focus on Ho Ching and her Temasek fiasco, few people knew that GIC under the charge of Tony Tan has lost its pants in 2008 crisis.

In short, Tony Tan has blown up Singapore’s pension aka the corrupt CPF. He is responsible for condemning Singaporean to a work till death because CPF is effectively being wipe out in real terms. (PAP is going to stealth default CPF)

    “Tony Tan was educated at St Patrick’s School and St Joseph’s Institution. As a Singapore Government State Scholar, he earned First Class Honours Degree in Physics from the University of Singapore, topping his class. As an Asia Foundation scholar, he went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he completed a Master of Science (Operations Research). He later earned a PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Adelaide, before going on to lecture in Mathematics at the National University of Singapore.[5]

    In 1969, Tan left the University to begin a career in banking with Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC), where he rose to become General Manager, before leaving the bank to pursue his political career in 1979. From 1980 to 1981, Tan was the first Vice Chancellor of the new National University of Singapore (NUS).

    In 2005, Tan was presented by NUS the Eminent Alumni Award in recognition of his role as a visionary architect of Singapore’s university sector. In 2010, he was presented the inaugural Distinguished Australian Alumnus Award by the Australian Alumni Singapore (AAS) at its 55th anniversary dinner as recognition to his distinguished career, significant contribution to society and the Australian alumni community.”

    We should also condemn the Worlds Universities Debating Championships for crowning 24-year-old Li Shengw as the best debater in the world.

    Mr Li, now a masters student in economics at Oxford, has been named Best Speaker at the just-ended Worlds Universities Debating Championships, the most prestigious debating tournament in the world.

    We shd also condemn Cambridge University for awarding double 1st class honours to former MM’s two sons because they are related to him?

    Insulting Singaporean’ intelligence? Apparently u have been living inside a hole for too long. Please check out the facts -

    Temasek Review | Temasek.com.sg
    http://www.temasek.com.sg

    http://www.temasek.com.sg/index.htm

    “Temasek Holdings is an Asia investment house headquartered in Singapore.
    With a multinational staff of 380 people, we manage a portfolio of S$186 BILLION, focused primarily in Asia and Singapore.

    Guided by an independent board, we operate autonomously on commercial principles to maximise long-term returns. Our total shareholder return since inception 36 years ago is 17% compounded annually.

    We have a corporate credit rating of AAA/Aaa by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s respectively.”

    “Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (“Temasek”) has just named two existing endowments under Temasek Cares after two Singaporeans, the late philanthropist Dr Ee Peng Liang, and the late former Senior Minister of State Dr Balaji Sadasivan, in honour of their roles and contributions in social service and healthcare.

    The S$35 MILLION Ee Peng Liang Endowment and the S$35 million Balaji Sadasivan Endowment are earmarked for capability building in the special needs and healthcare sector respectively.

    Over the last one year, Temasek Cares has been supporting the special needs and healthcare sectors under these two Endowments. For the special needs sector, Temasek Cares has contributed over S$650,000 for study awards for therapists and early intervention teachers, as well as to support students with learning and developmental needs in Northlight School and Assumption Pathway School. In the healthcare sector, a similar amount has gone into study awards for therapists and nurses and a pilot programme called Ageing in Place @Tanjong Rhu, which provides community rehabilitation and home care services for the frail elderly in the estate.”

    Why don’t people like you do likewise for the community instead of talking COCK (makebeliefs) most of the time?

    Nobody wins an argument when the differences in value cannot be reconciled. we have such an open economy, which very much dependent on foreign investments yet the group benefited most from globalisation are not open to the global culture ’s influences. They want to remain status quo, conservative and maintain their tradition. Ironically, the group least benefited, struggling for survival in the competitive hostile environment seek openness to change in values , to adapt , to seek the need for stability.

    - alleging that distant relatives will not help each other
    - denying that they are related
    - reiterate the standard PAP mantra that they have developed Singapore into first world country

    Honestly, this is just an article linking TT to LKY in terms of family tree. If they do not have anything to hide, why will this article even matter ?

  • We're Singaporeans:

    A very BIG THANK YOU to this writer for bringing to the public a hidden HARD TRUTH! I really DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY with such an investigative work that puts SPH Holdings & MediaCorp to shame! Where are our journalist professionals?

    Is TT hoping to be the EP so that the truth of the financial losses in 2008 can be covered up or is he trying to elevate himself(with his cousin’s help)to hold the supposedly highest office of the land?

    Looks like the finances(TH & GIC) of the State are in the hands of the famiLEE! How can we allow this to end up this way? Are we Singaporeans to allow this to carry on? Do we understand the seriousness of the State treasury is in the hands and control of a famiLee!

    Now we know why Tony Tan is LKY’s first choice to takeover from him as PM. Must be same reason WKS was made Deputy PM and not sacked when Mas Selamat escaped. Also why Ho Ching still in Temasek despite her massive (billions) of investment losses. Also why Lee Shen Yang got quickly promoted to BG when he openly complained that promotions at SAF was too slow. When he “retired” from SAF he was parachuted into Singtel (largest GLC) as EVP and soon took over as CEO. Forced to step down from Singtel because of scandal (not reported by local media) involving female staff of Optus, a Singtel subsidiary in Australia. He was “kicked upstairs” and became Chairman on Asia Pacific Breweries (an OCBC controlled company) and Chairman of CAAS. Members of the Lee family control everything in Singapore, they can do no wrong and are all above meritocracy. Nepotism is alive and well in Singapore.

  • Great Accountability:

    This article is not questioning the scholistic achievements of anyone. It’s about a nation seeking answers as to why a supposingly prosperous country with astronomical reserves still has their elderly having to collect soft drink cans or collect discarded cardboard to earn a living in their twilight years?

    Obviously, Singapore is a country without a social benefits system that looks after its elderly who have contributed in building the nation nor its less fortunate citizen whom cannot contribute CPF, yet legislation are constantly amended to deprive its hardworking people from withdrawing what is rightfully their hard earned money for retirement?

    Anyone will wonder and start questioning what went wrong. With questions in mind, they will start to seek answers. When they start to connect the dots, for example in this article, it will lead to more questions as to how many more of such cases are there that is yet to be unveiled?

    This is not about being sourgrape nor who is intelligent. It’s about the basic democractic rights of each and every Singaporeans who have and are still contributing to nation building, deserves a fair answer.

    Great power comes with great responsibilities and great accountability. Surely God (whichever faith you endorse) did not bless gifted men the intelligence to enrich themselves while others hardworking fellow countrymen (especially the elderly) who have contributed to their salaries and pensions suffer. Agree?

    P.S. Another question: Do they have pension? If yes, why the citizens dont have it? Who pays for the pensions? Hope to read more of such investigative articles.

    There are 2 kinds of leaders in our world.

    One kind are those with natural ability to lead. It is gifted in them, not by blood/genes, but a gift. They are still not perfect people,for none exists,but despite their flaws, it makes them more human and many can relate to them better, to trust and let them lead our lives. History is replete with such charismatic figures, some of them using their free will to do great for their people, some doing bad.

    Another kind are those who do not have the gift, but are nurtured at birth, at times, even before birth by induing even the mortal mother to give birth.

    Once such kind are born, every step and moment of their lives are NURTURED for a purpose in mind by controllers to fulfill an agenda. Where others have no or little opportunities, such kind are given the best of worlds, with both carrot and stick trainning programmes.

    Such methods robs them of their free will,unless their minds can be warped, which is the most difficult aspect of nurturing, for some either gets their mind twisted by their controllers, or they collapse from the mental strain and fall abandon by the wayside.

    Examples are those propagated by Hitler’s crazed mind. He and many of his kind wrongly believed in eugenics as being that ‘gift’. Those whom do not confirm to his theory were subjected to mental abuse through propaganda or thrown in mental asylums, such as the germans whom opposed him or gays found amongst his aryan super race fantasy.

    Another more successful examples are from China, typically their atheletes. The Chinese are more pragmatic. They do not subscribe to Hitler eugenics theories or believe in divine gifts. From young the atheletes are taken away from studies and childhood, forced into programmes/agendas to nurture them to become persons on the world stage such as the olympics for gold medals, to show the communistic superiority amongst mankind.

    While Tony and sons of Lee shown their IQ levels at youth, there can be no doubt of which group of human they came from. Opportunities that are closed for most, are opened for them since young, and it is no surprise that they performed as scripted and scheduled. They are only actors, with no gift of leadership evident, for leadership means more than just cert and medals.

    Furthermore to understand them, we only need to look at what kind of leader that had ruled us and continues to rule us – a pragmatic chinese deluded old man who think he is right always, akin to an Almighty, still clings on to the crazed and demented eugenic theories of Hitler, the worse combination possible for a nation seeking for true inspired leadership to suffer from.

    The saddest part of nurtured Sporean leaders lies in the utilitarian values taught since young. There is no difference between meritocracy and utilitarianism, thus those who value meritocracy are only worshipping utilitarianism.

    Meritocracy believes in being rewarded for being the best, and being the presumed best, it is only natuaral to believe others are not good enough, and thus utilitarianism becomes a policy, worse if those are leaders who sets national policies, and many whom do not measure up to those leaders presumed and assumed qualities, are left behind.

    The truth is that each human being is different from one another, and are not mirror image of each other in perceptions and conceptions. Some are good at art, some are academically inclined, some are great at hands on, etc, and it is the diverse EVERYONE that defines our society that progresses us and evolve us from animals, for from our diversity do we learn much much more from each other, good or bad, to climb up the ladder of mankind’s evolution.

    Throughout civilisation, had any ethnic group or single social beliefs remained pure and unchallenge? If so, we would not have made this progress to today and looking forward to our future. History is our empirical evidence of egalitarianism values.

    Even if you tear down the old society and let new people run the place, after one generation, you realize they are all connected. It might not be via marriage, it could be through sharing a old boys network or alumni, or even religious network.

    “Mr Li, now a masters student in economics at Oxford, has been named Best Speaker at the just-ended Worlds Universities Debating Championships, the most prestigious debating tournament in the world.”

    If your grandfather of an alumni contributes billions of pounds each year through enforcing the compulsory GCE O and A levels examinations as a measure of scholastic and so called meritocratic achievement, Canrich will certainly know how to be grateful.

    Till today, has anyone heard the grandson speak in public or appeared in our local media’s debates for open assessment. Before the newspaper report, even his peers i the country never talk about his debating skills. In fact he was literally socially unfamous except for his family association

    Please, it’s a bad rerun of his grandfather’s myth as a returning foreign graduate champion which a whole generation of current cardboard aunties, toilet uncles and food court ah sohs swallowed line, hook and sinker and gave their best votes of 40 years that culminated in the ultimate condemnation of their lives.

    Seeing the cooperation and compliance between members of secret societies and the larger society was thus applicable in explaining the political and sociological action pertaining tothe secret society scene in Singapore. Such connections, despite under intense pressure brought on by technological advancement and the gradual sophistication of publicservices, persist even till today. Only by understanding the sociological action behindthese various social players then can we understand the present world we are living andthe historical value behind. In addition, the network mode of analysis will help readers tosee members of secret societies as entrepreneurs who tried to manipulate norms andrelationships for their own social and psychological benefit. With particular reference to the 1957 by-election, this chapter, attempts to explain the continuing presence of secretsocieties in Singapore society and the challenges they faced due to social evolution.

    “Tony Tan was educated at St Patrick’s School and St Joseph’s Institution. As a Singapore Government State Scholar, he earned First Class Honours Degree in Physics from the University of Singapore, topping his class. As an Asia Foundation scholar, he went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he completed a Master of Science (Operations Research). He later earned a PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Adelaide, before going on to lecture in Mathematics at the National University of Singapore.[5]

    In 1969, Tan left the University to begin a career in banking with Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC), where he rose to become General Manager, before leaving the bank to pursue his political career in 1979. From 1980 to 1981, Tan was the first Vice Chancellor of the new National University of Singapore (NUS).

    In 2005, Tan was presented by NUS the Eminent Alumni Award in recognition of his role as a visionary architect of Singapore’s university sector. In 2010, he was presented the inaugural Distinguished Australian Alumnus Award by the Australian Alumni Singapore (AAS) at its 55th anniversary dinner as recognition to his distinguished career, significant contribution to society and the Australian alumni community.”

    We should also condemn the Worlds Universities Debating Championships for crowning 24-year-old Li Shengw as the best debater in the world.

    Mr Li, now a masters student in economics at Oxford, has been named Best Speaker at the just-ended Worlds Universities Debating Championships, the most prestigious debating tournament in the world.

    We shd also condemn Cambridge University for awarding double 1st class honours to former MM’s two sons because they are related to him?

    LOL !!!!!

    This is meritocracy at work and not what we all can see across the causeway and many places around the world.

    ——————————–

    haha! what meritocracy? is Chen Show Mao not gifted? why is he not in charge or given important jobs? is JBJ, francis seow not gifted? kj n philip j both have double first honours from cambridge also.

    you like to blow others horn, n give french jobs, that’s what you r good at. so what if tony tan can study? look at his failed policies, his foreiner first @ nus/ntu, his failed gic investments. gic has recovered the lost? show us, don’t just talk onlee. poor lackeys n running dogs now running helter skelter.

    now the investigation has uncovered the truth, dogs come a barking.
    meritocracy is only a joke. LOL !!!!!

    This is ‘meleetocracy’ at work and not what we all can see across the causeway and many places around the world.

    why compare with malaysial? r u saying najib also familee? what r the many places around the world? even communist china don’t have a dynasty. did you see wen jia bao or hu jin tao’s sons waiting to take over?

    now we know why that basterd lky wants tony the sob to be pm, what meritocracy? n now elected puppet, cos the losses must be big, n they need own familee to cover up. can’t afford another ong teng cheong to dig; otherwise, sure other truths be out, n dogs will stop barking n run for cover.

    all own people, plus lackeys n prostitutes like mel chicken, de susa, ng wan jinx, sial kok long, oh kum pui, all a bunch of self-serving double faced hypocrites.

    so what if lee a wu can study n talk? have money get a lot of good tutors n you will aced in examinations.

    cambridge for your info is difficult to enter but the curriculum is switched off n you don’t have to slog so hard like in nus, so you can do a 4 year course in 2 n still top the class. so what cambridge, oxford etc? look at mabok tan, isn’t he a state scholar? n boy george? n loon? n ho jinx? look at the mess they have created.

And their power is maintained mainly by denying Singaporeans their constitutional rights to speak freely etc. I have no doubt Tony Tan is a trusted PAP man and so he should not be president. Unfortunately given our undemocratic system he will most likely become president and keep the long tradition of keeping the wealth of Singapore within the Lee family and its associates. It is time for Singaporeans to rise up and take our country back from these parasites.

  • Clarifictions:

    If it is true, PM and TT will surely come out and say so, a matter of time. In today’s pervasive info flow, nothing can be hidden. TT is very talented. To assume a post where as EP, he has no absolute executive powers over the past, present and future reserves, whereupon then he can truly safeguard, we are wasting TT’s talents. The thing that works against TT is his immediate past appointment in GIC. TT is good if the EP is EEP, ‘Elected Executive President’ (for National Reserves). In GIC….he could direct. As EP….he cannot. But as EP, he will see things differently, with a responsibility and accountability for every single citizen on how National Reserve is safeguarded….but he cannot do anything….So…it is better TT not stand for election. We stand to lose the usefulness and effectiveness of a National Talent. TT should stand for election if the constitution is changed, to empower the President elected by the people. Only then is there true accountability of the President to the citizenry at large. Only then can each and every citizen hold the EP responsible if the past, present and future national reserves are not safeguarded. Only with this would the EP ensure that before he takes over, there is indeed that statement of account on his table. Without which, we should not fool ourselves of the EP safeguarding the National Reserves, and neither should any potential EP think so…. We should then just accept that the HEad of State simply represents the country as HEad of State, and nothing more. It makes one feel a lot better this way, and the citizens simply hold just the government alone for responsibility and accountability for the state of affairs of the past, present and future reserves. A one to one accountability. We probably sleep better.

    “If Mr Lee would want to share his wealth he would have done it with his siblings and not some distant relative.”

    You are twisting what kojakbt has clearly written about power consolidation. He did not talk about sharing of wealth :

    “Obviously, the most impt consideration for LKY is power consolidation and it’s good to have “ka ki nang” inside the Govt for this purpose. And obviously, you will need to ensure that your “kakis” are also making big bucks in order to continue to be loyal to you…”

    Looking at the chart, TT is the nephew of LKY’s wife’s ayi (阿姨)’s husband. The relationship is very, very distant, if any at all. How many of you will have anything to do with the children of your aunt’s (mother’s sister) husband’s brother? In fact, some first cousins (children of father’s brother) don’t even know each other!

    GKS attended Anglo-Chinese Primary School in Coleman Street. GKS and his siblings went to school each day in a chartered school bus (known locally as a ‘mosquito’ bus) that they shared with the children of Kwa Siew Tee, Leng Inn’s (GKS’s father) closest friend.

    Goh was a scion of a rich Malacca family. Although his father, Goh Leng Inn, was a manager of a rubber plantation, his mother was from the family that produced famous Malaysian politicians Tun Dato Sir Tan Cheng Lock and his son, Dato Tan Siew Sin

    Where is the blood tie between TT and LKY?

    I am not a PAP supporter, and have voted for the Oppo in the last election. But that does not mean I will want to oppose and twist every argument. Be objective.

    Knowing that TT and LKY are not related by blood, it does not also mean I will vote for TT. One has to be fair.

    Ah… between an outsider and a distant relative, who do you feel closer? Why do you think back in the late 80s, LKY wanted TT to be the Prime Minister over GCT? LOL!

    Well well with these revelations – related to lky, over 30/40 years strong tie with PAP, and keeping mum/dumb on this GIC for 10 years — should we vote TonyTan to be President! We must be blind/dumb and asked to be screwed thru & thru! Let/Make him lose his DEPOSIT – TRE!
    Clearly TKL should get our votes. TCB had disqualified himself by famously mentioned that JBJ always harped on LKY’s wrongs/faults on JBJ’s passing!

    “While Singaporean focus on Ho Ching and her Temasek fiasco, few people knew that GIC under the charge of Tony Tan has lost its pants in 2008 crisis.

    In short, Tony Tan has blown up Singapore’s pension aka the corrupt CPF. He is responsible for condemning Singaporean to a work till death because CPF is effectively being wipe out in real terms. (PAP is going to stealth default CPF)”

    I wonder if this is indeed the real reason why Singaporeans are now made to work till 62 before we could start receiving bits by bits our own hard earned money legislatively kept in the CPF.

    all these relationship made me very sad and lost hope on Singapore future. By the way is SR Nathan related to LKY?

    From what I read on the Internet including reputable sources like Wilkipidea, both were World War 2 traitors. LKY worked for the Japanese military translating into English all the intercepted British telecommunication. He did this while most of the rest of Singaporeans were persecuted by the Japanese invaders.

    He was able to run a black market business (Stikfas) with the connivance of the Japanese military authorities. He was even able to move freely all the way to the Cameron Highlands prior to the end of Japanese occupation. If he hadn’t been a trusted agent of the Japanese military, you think he could do all that with impunity given the ruthlessness of the Japanese military police? Only God knows if he had also turned in fellow Singaporeans like Lim Boh Seng to the feared Kempeitai.

    As for that prata-man, it’s even clearer he’s a traitor, having worked at The Japanese military police headquarters.

    Birds of the same feather flocking together? Like the many wealthy Sraits Chinese – Wee Kim Wee, Tony Tan…

    >> Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Tony are very distant relative with totally different sir name and ancestors. If Mr Lee would want to share his wealth he would have done it with his siblings and not some distant relative.

    Again, you missed the point. I think to LKY, it’s not so much about sharing of wealth although he won’t mind his people “profiting” from being loyal to him and do his bidding… as I’ve said, it’s about power and if you read thru history, historic leaders tend to use his own related “people” in their inner circle in order to consolidate power.

    Case in point, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek – Chiang appointed his brother-in-law, Dr H H Kung, to become the Minister of Finance in the Nationalist Govt of China during 2nd world war period. Chiang’s wife and Kung’s wife were sisters (ie, Soong May-ling & Soong Ai-ling). As you can see, Chiang and Kung were also of totally different sur names and ancestors. But they are related. This close relationship helps to instil loyalty.

    >> Are you willing to prove your case in the open otherwise you will be sue for malicious attempt to discredit Tony Tan ?

    I’m not discrediting Tony Tan here. I’m merely saying that the close relation between Tony and LKY helps LKY to consolidate power. This can seen in history…

    Well, like it or not, the relationship will always be there even after Tony Tan and LKY die.

    Tony Tan shall always be the nephew of LKY’s uncle-in-law.
