WANTED: Whistleblowers in Singapore!

I promised my anti-death penalty supporters I would never go away!  So here I am - a perpetual thorn in the side of the PAP and its judicial and prosecutorial arm that has kept Singaporeans in a state of perpetual fear for far too long.

One of the most appalling cases of injustice concerns the trial of an alleged drug trafficker, Vignes Mourthi, who was hanged mainly on the evidence of a corrupt police officer, Sgt. S. Rajkumar - evidence that was inserted in an additional page and slipped in without a date or corroborative signature by Vignes Mourthi.  

This was challenged by his defense team but was ignored by the trial judge - and the appeal judges - while everyone must have known or should have known that the 'trustworthy' CNB officer was simulataneously being investigated for rape, sodomy and attempted bribery of his victim.  Rajkumar was jailed only for corruption and only for 15 months after a trial that took place TWO YEARS after 24-year-old Vignes Mourthi was hanged.  Isn't it obvious why?

If Rajkumar's trial had been held first - according to his appeal court lawyer, Subhas Anandan - they could not have continued with the case against Vignes Mourthi.  He would have been given the benefit of the doubt and set free.  He proclaimed his innocence until his death on the gallows.

And how come the crooked cop got only 15 months jail?  How much of that sentence was served wearing an ankle bracelet?  What happened to the rape and sodomy charges brought by the young woman whom he handcuffed first to carry out his revolting crimes?  Crimes that usually result in15 to 30 years behind bars?

It is obvious that the media in Singapore, particularly that dishonourable government daily pamphlet the Straits Times, more suitably labelled the Straits Jacket, was ordered not to publish this perfect example of judicial corruption for fear of the consequences.  I felt compelled to expose this scandal in my book, Once a Jolly Hangman:  Singapore Justice in the Dock. This in itself was considered a 'crime' by LKY's pliant AGC and judiciary for which I was jailed for two months.  But not for revealing the criminal behaviour of Rajkumar but because I merely expressed my opinion that everyone involved in this case must have known all about Rajkumar's rape, sodomy and bribery investigations while they were bent on sending Vignes Mourthi to the gallows 'but didnt have the guts to do anything to save' this young man!

I will not let this case to remain covered up and forgotten.  Similar cases of corrupt police officers which were exposed by campaigning journalists in the UK in the 1950s resulted in abolishment of the death penalty finally in 1965 and I will not stop my independent campaigning until the death penalty is abolished in Singapore.

To help my endeavours, I am now looking for whistleblowers to help blow the lid off the Rajkumar case so that he gets his just punishment.  Where is he now?  Having been deported on July 9 2011, I cannot return to Singapore to continue my research on a personal basis.  So I am now looking for 'insiders' willing and able to help.  I want to know where Rajkumar is making a living.  Back on the job at the CNB HQ in Chinatown?  Working as an informer?  Or trafficking himself?  That's also a possibility especially when such people can entice lowly, simple-minded mules who get bullied or enticed into the business by sophisticated adults and police officers like Rajkumar - and go free themselves!

If anyone has information regarding the whereabouts of former CNB Sgt S. Rajkumar, please contact me at Alanshadrake77@gmail.com  You will be rewarded in Heaven!
