An Open letter to MinLaw

Subject: Safeguarding Legal Processes and Addressing Public Misconduct

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Iris Koh. In recent years, I have dedicated myself to advocating for the sovereign rights of individuals, particularly the right not to be coerced into taking experimental medical treatments during the COVID-19 pandemic. This advocacy is rooted in the belief that our Constitution upholds the freedoms and dignity of all Singaporeans.

Unfortunately, this mission has made me and my husband, Raymond Ng, the subject of intense defamation, ridicule, and public shaming. Raymond Ng, and me to significant defamation, public ridicule, and harm to our reputations. False and egregious accusations have been levelled against us, including Calvin Cheng’s claim that I am “literally killing people” and Professor Ben Leong’s accusation of Healing the Divide as a “domestic terrorist organisation.” These allegations are unfounded and have caused us profound distress, compelling us to seek legal redress against the perpetrators.

As we pursue these cases, I am deeply concerned about actions that undermine justice and mischaracterise legitimate legal processes. Specifically, I wish to bring to your attention the conduct of Critical Spectator and others, who have encouraged the public to misuse legal channels in ways that obstruct justice. 

Key Concerns

1. Mischaracterisation of Legal Recourse Critical Spectator has urged individuals to file police reports against us for lawful pre-litigation procedures, such as delivering legal letters in person or seeking damages through negotiation. These actions, recognised under Singapore law, are now being portrayed as harassment. This misrepresentation undermines public understanding of the legal system and discourages others from exercising their rights to seek justice.
   
   
2. Encouragement of Retaliatory and Frivolous Claims Public figures, such as Calvin Cheng, have openly advised individuals to "Don’t cave. Unless of course you actually did defame them , which IMO is very unlikely." Would you consider the opinion of someone seriously when he is the one who accused us of "literally killing people" and don't see it as defamatory? This matter is currently before the courts, so this is as much as I will comment. This rhetoric, coupled with reports of Prof Ben Leong's third-party litigation funding, promotes unnecessary legal battles, which burden both the courts and the defendants involved.
   
   
3. Potential Abuse of Legal Systems Calls to file retaliatory lawsuits or unwarranted police reports risk overwhelming Singapore’s legal and law enforcement systems. Such actions erode trust in the judiciary and divert resources away from genuine cases.
   
   
4. Serious Implications for Justice and Wellbeing Reckless advice, such as urging individuals to resist settlement even when they may be liable, has tangible consequences. For example, Calvin Cheng’s advice to people who are sued by Raymond and myself including Geno Ong to “Don't cave” raises questions about whether it contributed to her tragic decision to end her life. Geno / Mai Siao Siao (MSS) was sued for the following comments which she made on her facebook wall. (See below) From my interaction with the court, I believe denying mediation is EXACTLY the kind of thing that the court is discouraging. Yet, individuals like Calvin who publicly issues such advice are not warned to not interfere with 3rd party litigation actions. It is highly disturbing. 
   
   Does Calvin Cheng have insider knowledge that the Government Agencies are actually targetting us, since in his opinion, he doesn't think anyone has defamed us?
   
   Do note also that Geno's suicide note was shared widely by Calvin Cheng and others accusing us of causing her death. Yet, there are no comments from MinLaw regarding this dangerous narrative. Should people stop seeking justice just because some may choose suicide and blame others? 
   
   It is not lawsuits which are causing stress to people, but the fact that Geno was encouraged by people around her not to cave plus she was also financed by mysterious third party / (parties) in the amount of close to $65000 to fight on that could have led to her untimely demise. This important issue needs to be addressed, that's why 3rd party legal financing is problematic, especially in amounts of $600,000, which is what Professor Ben Leong has raised from his student in NUS. It will precisely discourage people to settle which would then jam up our legal system. It would also give people a false sense of security in the case when they have really defamed someone and having more money would just prolong the pain. Litigants have always been encouraged to settle their disputes amicably. Are these the kinds of actions that would be condoned by SGCourts? 

Questions for the Ministry of Law

Given these developments, I respectfully seek the Ministry's clarification on the following:

• Who are the officials in MinLaw that individuals like Calvin Cheng or Professor Ben Leong claim to have contacted? Should the public consult MinLaw on private litigation matters? While my letter is public, I am particularly worried about CryBaby Elites given special treatment in private conversations to avoid justice.This is especially worrying because it seems that Calvin Cheng was also invited to be part of the process of amending laws when he is no longer a NMP. Just curious. Who gets invited to such important sessions of consultations to the amendments of law? Can other members of the public participate too?  
  
  
• How has this influenced public narratives about reforms to laws, particularly in private litigation cases? Do our defamation laws need reform? The last I checked, PAP used it well for decades with no issue.
  
  

• What safeguards are in place to prevent the misuse of legal and law enforcement systems through retaliatory claims, frivolous reports?
• Will the Ministry address misleading public narratives that mischaracterise legitimate legal actions as harassment?
• Will the Ministry be advising the Police to inform the public that serving Letters of Demand are legal actions and that they should not be interfering in the process and to advise the public NOT to make frivolous police reports / file lawsuits to jam up our Legal System?
• Will people like Critical Spectator and Calvin Cheng be advised / investigated for jamming up our legal system?
  

• Will the Ministry investigate the compliance of third-party funding, such as the S$600,000 Bitcoin fund allegedly raised in connection with these lawsuits, with Singapore’s anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements?

Reaffirming the Rule of Law

I appreciate the Ministry’s commitment to advancing access to justice for all Singaporeans. Minister Edwin Tong’s emphasis on fairness and equity inspires confidence in our legal system. Singapore’s ambition to be a global hub for international arbitration further underscores the importance of maintaining public trust in our judiciary.

To reinforce these principles, I respectfully request a meeting to discuss these matters in greater detail. Collaborating on public education about legal processes and safeguarding the integrity of our legal system will strengthen our nation’s reputation for justice and rule of law.

Thank you for your attention and your dedication to ensuring justice remains equitable and accessible for all. I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,
Iris Koh

Dear Readers,
I'm not funded by any institutions etc. Everything I have done, from my numerous videos to blog articles, I've done it out of a sense of social justice for what is happening around the world, fuelled initially by the Quackzines and Scamdemic. I continue to do what I do because I worry for humanity and for the continuation of the Singaporean population, threats to our National Sovereignty and threats to humanity. The world needs all of us to do whatever we can to stop the impending disaster. I thank you for supporting me in my work and for keeping me in your prayers. When you support or purchase my materials, it will go towards paying outstanding fines, lawyer fees and to keep my lights on. Sincere gratitude and appreciate. Thank you for doing your part. 

RISE UP SINGAPORE,
IRIS KOH
