One Nation Under Lee

"One Nation Under Lee " is a film produced by Seelan Pillay which painted a poor picture of Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew's stint as Prime Minister. It also tries to depict the social divide in Singapore as arising from the policies of the People’s Action Party. "One Nation Under Lee" included interviews with former Solicitor General Francis Seow, political detainee Said Zahari, opposition politician JB Jeyaretnam and scenes of various public protests which had taken place in Singapore.

So who are these names being mentioned in relation to this film? Lee Kuan Yew is a well known name internationally and needs no more introduction. Francis Seow was a Singaporean who fled the country while awaiting trial for tax evasion. Said Zahari was alleged to be a communist. JB Jeyaetnam was a bankrupt whom had been convicted of defamation and libel. But who is Seelan Pillay? Wikipedia holds no information on Seelan Pillay and this is a really unknown name to me.

A private screening of the movie was done by Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) on Saturday to an audience of about 70 people who paid $20 each to attend the event but the event was cut short by the police and MDA officials because of contravention of the Films Act.

It is interesting how some people are (at the moment) getting away with all sorts of potentially defaming remarks online when I was trying to find out more information about these people. Makes me wonder when will these people be made to substantiate the claims that they had so unthinkingly dished out...
