Subject: Update of information and a complaint of a cover up

Dear State Courts,

BOND-2020-0318-901474

1.      I refer to the above-mentioned personal bond I signed on Mar 18, 2020.

The update of my mailing address and mobile number

2.      Currently I don’t have a mailing address. As clearly stated in the attachment of my email to PM Lee Hsien Loong dated Nov 20, 2019, the unit I stayed before my protest was BLK142, #07-1553, Bedok Reservoir Road, Singapore 470142. The address set out in the bail bond was the most accurate one I could give at the time.  

3.      Now the unit is occupied by a different owner. I will certainly update my mailing address after I get one. I would appreciate it if the State Courts send me a soft copy of Petition of Appeal by email, so I can process it in accordance with the law.

4.      My current mobile number is 82456386.

A cover-up by Changi Prison

5.      In the attached file, I have complained about Changi Prison for deliberately coving up their mismanagement which gave rise to the vicious assault I suffered on Dec 20, 2019. After the incident, Changi prison didn’t provide me with medical treatment but instead, made every effort to relieve responsibility for their misconduct by working together with the Supreme Court and the State Courts.

6.      The general election is coming so the government ought to respond to my complaint about Changi Prison’s suppressive and inhuman rule before it. In Changi Prison, prisoners only have a right to sleep. They don’t have a right to eat because a hunger strike is illegal. They don’t have a right for proper medical treatment because the prison authorities have adopted a policy of forced medical treatment. My recent imprisonment has showed that prisoners are treated as if they were animals.

My requests:

7.      With the regard to the personal bond mentioned above, I would request the State Court to explain why the bail center didn’t comply with Justice Chan Seng Onn’s order to award a person bond to me on Feb 7, 2020?  Why didn’t the judge at Bail Center inform me to use my movable personal property as security for the personal bond on Feb 7?

8.      With regard to the incident of the assault, I would request the State Court to look into this matter. It were the State Courts who made the direction to detain me in Changi Prison so the State Courts have a duty to ensure my safety. I am asking for an unaltered copy of the CCTV footage of the incident so a doctor can easily judge whether the diagnosis of contusion of face made by Changi General Hospital (CGH) is correct. The CCTV footage should at least cover the part from the beginning of the dayroom activity to the point when I got out of dayroom. I will ask PM Lee Hsien Loong for it if I cannot get it before I write to the international community.

9.      I think CGH ought to state its position with regard to the correctness of the diagnosis made by its doctor on Dec 20, 2019 and Dr.Tan Nigel Choon Kiat’s response to my request for a CT scan of my brain.

10.   I also request the State Courts to look into why Changi Prison persistently refused to provide me with a CT-scan of my brain and refused to let me contact the Chinese embassy and the US embassy in Singapore for assistance. If I encounter an emergency, I may contact them directly for assistance.

11.   It is really difficult to fight with a state machinery alone. I would request to the international community for assistance. At this moment, I need financial assistance for medical examinations and treatment. My bank account is Singapore OCBC (Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation) 555-6-020153.  

12.   Thank you.

Regards,

Yan Jun
