Dear Ms. Lai Yee Wah,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

I went to the ICA this afternoon at about 3:20pm. ASP Goh Wee Joo told me all interview rooms had been closed due to COVID-19 situation so I needed to submit a softcopy of the supporting documents.

 

Attached please find the supporting documents. I didn’t include the latest household bills because I don’t own a flat so I don’t have a bill.

 

Please let me know your decision as soon as possible. I haven’t submitted my photos to the ICA.

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

Yan Jun

Dear Ms. Lai Yee Wah,  

 

I refer to the letter from the ICA dated Mar 30, 2020 with reference number NRO 014/91/20/619. I received the letter tonight and will go to the ICA in this week.

 

It is stated in the letter that mandatory  documents such as 1)latest pays lip/Latest CPF contributions; 2)Updated bank book/bank statement; 3) Latest Household bill and 5 additional documents, if any, are required.  

 

It is clear to me that the ICA is going to assess my financial condition to decide on my appeal for a waiver of fees for a replacement IC. I have a poor financial condition, and I can’t give half of the $600 issued by the Government today to the ICA for a new IC. I need to pay my medical bills.

 

However, my question is about the legal basis for the ICA’s decision to assess an applicant’s financial condition if he is a victim of a theft case. If a victim of a theft case must pay $300 for a replacement IC, the ICA doesn’t make a distinction between citizens who have passively lost their ICs and those who have lost their ICs due to their own carelessness.

 

It seems to me that the ICA is assuming that a citizen has a duty to prevent his IC from being lost in any condition. I don’t think a citizen has such a duty. If a citizen had such a duty, police wouldn’t have a duty to help them recover their lost ICs.  On the contrary, police were supposed to punish them for failing to fulfil their duty to keep their ICs safe.

 

Please let me know the legal basis of the assessment of a victim applicant’s financial condition at your earliest convenience.   

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

Yan Jun

Subject: Complaint about 3 matters

 

Dear Minister K Shamugan,

 

I am writing to the Minster for Home Affairs to complain about three matters.

 

The 1^st issue: Complaint about Xiu Chao (National security officer)

In my email dated Nov 20, 2019 to PM Lee Hsien Loong, I claimed that the Bedok flat I stayed (BLK142, #07-1553, Bedok Reservoir Road Singapore 470142) was a trap set by the government. Xiu Chao, who claimed to be the owner of the flat, insisted that I must move out on Nov 21 because the flat was going to be sold on Nov 22, 2019 (See the screenshot 1, 2 and 3 of WhatsApp messages on Oct 30, 2019 at 22:09 - 22:10). 

 

I later found that PM Lee was scheduled to visit Korea on Nov 22.

 

Xiu has unlawfully detained my luggage since Mar 18, 2020 and wouldn’t answer my question about the legal basis for his action. He insisted that I must take back my luggage at a time that he preferred. The location to pick up my luggage was the void deck of the BLK 142, as if my luggage was still in the Bedok flat. On Apr 5, he wouldn’t give me a chance to check my luggage but forced me to accept it. I have lodged a police report (G/20200406/7065).

 

The 2^nd issue: the replacement IC

My NRIC was stolen on Feb 9, 2019 in the Hougang flat (BLK 540, #02-1221, Hougang Ave 8, Singapore 530540). On Feb 12, 2019, I made a police report (G/20190212/7013) online, and Tan Sze Herng in Hougang NPC was assigned to the officer in charge of this case. So far, I haven’t received any reply from him.

 

On Mar 19, 2020, I applied to the ICA for a replacement IC and a waiver of the replacement fee on the grounds that I am the victim of a theft case. The ICA replied that they would inform me the outcome of my application in due course.

 

The 3^rd issue: a possible espionage of the PAP government in China

In my email dated Nov 20, 2019 to PM Lee, I also mentioned an espionage by Malaysian citizen Yap Foo Beng. Yap was caught to secretly collect and open my parcel without my knowledge. The contents of the parcel, a backpack and a printer cartridge, were ordered on Taobao and was shipped to Johor Bahru using GD Express, an international transportation company, by Princess International Express from ShenZhen city of China. When Yap returned the parcels to me, I found the parcel containing the cartridge was already opened. 

 

On Mar 27, I ordered two items, a backpack and a pair of glasses, on Taobao and gave two selling companies the same address of Princess International Express, or address A (No. 258, Xintian Avenue, Fuhai Street, Baoan District, Shenzhen City, Guang Dong Province, 518128). The backpack with the tracking number YT4423631303845 was delivered on Mar 29 and was accepted.

 

When the shipping company (Zhong Tong) delivered the spectacles with the tracking number 74338519375286 to the same address on the afternoon of Mar 30 at 17:55, the Princess Express suddenly directed the mailman to deliver it to address B without my knowledge. In the evening, I found the reversion of my parcel by checking the online tracking system.  

 

On the morning of Mar 31, I informed the seller that I didn’t change the address and insisted on shipping the parcel to the original address. The shipping company (Zhong Tong Kuai Di) expressly stated that it was the customer who requested for a change of address to address B (Lian He Wu Jin, Sha Jing Street, He’er 2^nd Rd, Shenzhen City, Guang Dong Province). Although Princess Express already received the parcel on April 1, they changed the address again so the online system showed that the parcel was delivered on April 2.

 

The Princess Express was unable to justify why they wouldn’t accept the parcel on the afternoon of Mar 30 when it was delivered to address A. Their explanation was that the mailman was unable to correctly deliver the parcel to address A so they directed him to send it to address B, another store of Princess Express. 

 

Now my parcels are still in Princess Express. Surprisingly, now the online official tracking information for the two parcels have been erased. A mistake made by a receiving company is not supposed to affect the official tracking information provided by a shipping company. 

 

Like Yap Foo Beng, the staff members of the Princess Express could open and examine the parcel outside their company for suspicious items in connection with the Chinese government. Only the PAP government is in a position to establish such a connection for supporting their conspiracy theories. As a result, my protest will be discredited with patriotism and voters will vote for the PAP. 

 

My requests

With regard to the 1^st issue, I would appreciate it if the Ministry of Home Affairs promotes the competence of national security officers. I was fully aware Xiu’s Identity shortly after I moved into the flat. Please direct Xiu Chao to return my luggage or state the legal basis of his actions.

 

With regards to the 2^nd issue, I would appreciate it if the ICA can process my application at its earliest convenience because I have surrendered my passport to the court.

 

With regard to the 3rdd issue, I would appreciate it if the Minister responds to my suspicion of the espionage by the PAP government.

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

Yan Jun
