Gopalan Nair taunts Singapore Law Society for initiating ?disciplinary action? against him
September 9,
ex-Singapore lawyer Gopalan Nair continues to taunt the Singapore?s judiciary from Califonia, U.S.A. where he now resides.
Writing on his blog, ?The Singapore Dissident?, Mr Gopalan poured scorn on the latest attempt by the Singapore Law Society to initiate disciplinary action against him.
The Singapore Law Society had earlier submitted an application to the Chief Justice accusing Mr Gopalan of bringing ?the profession as a whole into disrepute and lowered its esteem in the eyes of the general public? (read article: http://temasekreview.com/?p=13093)
A two-man disciplinary tribunal consisting of either a senior counsel, former high court judge or judicial commissioner with a senior lawyer will be formed to determine if he is guilty of misconduct ?unbefitting? of a lawyer.
Mr Gopalan wrote that the real intention of the Law Society is to intimidate Singapore lawyers and he does not care ?one way on another what Singapore does? as any action taken against him in Singapore will have no effect on him.

This is what he had to say earlier in the week – as we say above Singapore authorities certainly know how to trap themselves. A molehill will without a doubt become a mountain over time
But you see, sadly for Lee Kuan Yew and his Singapore Judiciary, which is nothing but toothless body of terrified and intimidated yes men and women, masquerading as judges to do nothing more than please him; not surprisingly I don’t feel any emotion at all, except perhaps humor.
I know as well as everyone else that Singapore is now not much different from a North Korea which periodically goes about making all sorts of threats against its opponents about which no one outside the country really cares. In the case of North Korea, whenever they get upset of something or other, they fire a few missiles into the air, which all immediately drop back to earth with faulty engines. In the case of Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore, when they get upset about someone or other in the free world whom they are unable to silence; I guess they go about bringing disciplinary actions! I can tell you this much. It is quite clear, these theatrical disciplinary proceedings which will undoubtedly disbar me, is intended more to intimidate the Singapore lawyers, as if they were not already sufficiently intimidated! As for me, I don’t care one way or other what Singapore does. Surely even an imbecile can understand that.
