Reformers need not be perfect. But when people with a bundle of skeletons in their cupboard suddenly start spouting supposed words of wisdom, people will be forced to take all that with a handful of salt.
The point is this :
Bala Pillai (supposedly an ex-employee of DBS Bank, Singapore [from his CV on Ryze]) was disenfranchised and deported from Singapore and banned from further entry. This can be easily verified by Googling. Now, he can claim that to be his personal problem. But then he is a reformer whom others have to look up to.
And Singapore would not take such a drastic action of revoking somebody's citizenship and debarring them from further entry unless they committed a BIG criminal act.
Only the following crimes entail such sentences:
1) Huge financial fraud. Basically equivalent to stealing money.
2) Rape
3) Contraband - i.e. smuggling things like electronics into the country in huge quantities.
4) Sedition or plotting against the government.
Moreover, disenfranchisment in Singapore ALWAYS comes after jail time AND LASHING with a cane. (for eg. for rape its like ~ 100-200 whippings).
Bala Pillai has served jail time in Singapore and gotten lashes.
For what criminal act was Bala jailed? Will Bala come clean? If not why should the world listen to a the words of a CRIMINAL?
