MILITARY DOCTOR WHO WENT AWOL

Family of SAF doctor lost touch after Oct


He had sent them e-mail message a month after leaving to say he was well and not to look for him

By Jermyn Chow





THE family of Captain (Dr) Allan Ooi, who was found dead under a bridge in Melbourne on March 3, heard from him a month after he went absent without official leave from the armed forces last October.

The 27-year-old ignored their cellphone calls as well as their text and e-mail messages for a month before finally sending a short response by e-mail.

By all accounts
By all accounts, Capt (Dr) Ooi was a sociable young man who was often featured in high-society magazines here. His friends knew him as an 'all-rounder' who excelled in his studies and sports.
'He said he loved us and he was doing well, and he told us not to look for him,' his sister, Ms Lynette Ooi, 24, told The Straits Times yesterday.

The family had been in a tizzy since they received a call from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) informing them that he had not turned up for work.

Ms Ooi said their parents, obstetrician and gynaecologist Alex Ooi and general practitioner Lucy Ooi, were then in London with her. Their brother, Adrian, 28, was working in the Singapore General Hospital.

Private investigators were hired and a missing persons report lodged with the police, but all they knew at the end was that he had left Singapore on Oct 13.

That day was the last time Ms Ooi heard from him before the AWOL incident. He had sent her birthday greetings via a text message.

'I thought it seemed a little strange because usually he would call me and we would catch up a bit,' said Ms Ooi, a lawyer.

Family and friends flooded his e-mail inbox, pleading with him to return or asking what help he needed to start a new life. They received no word from him.

In 2000, Capt (Dr) Ooi, then 18, took up an SAF scholarship to study medicine at the National University of Singapore. In return, he was to serve a 12-year bond.

This bond was extended by a further three years after he went for a six-month aviation medicine course in London last year. He returned in mid-June and went back to work at the Republic of Singapore Air Force's (RSAF's) Aeromedical Centre in Paya Lebar.

Ms Ooi said he was unhappy at work. 'He was seeing or treating very few patients. Instead, he was doing administrative work, including writing articles for the air force's in-house magazine,' she said.

He had considered quitting his job because of this. His parents backed him, offering to pay off his bond, but he never pushed ahead with the matter, said Ms Ooi.

By all accounts, Capt (Dr) Ooi was a sociable young man who was often featured in high-society magazines here. His friends knew him as an 'all-rounder' who excelled in his studies and sports.

'He would always be the first to cheer us up when we were down, flashing his trademark cheeky grin,' said one close friend.

They turned up in force for his wake yesterday at the family's Moonbeam Terrace bungalow.

In the room where the coffin had been placed, a keyboardist played mournful strains on a piano while snapshots of the young man in happier days - mostly at parties and holidays, and flanked by family and friends - were shown on a television set.

The family was upset at speculation that he might have rung up gambling debts or that he was addicted to online games.

Ms Ooi said: 'My brother would never be that foolish. He always knew what he was doing.'

She said the family was still in the dark about what he had been up to in Melbourne over the past five months.

They went to identify his body and flew it home last Saturday. They also collected his belongings from an apartment in a Melbourne suburb.
Melbourne police are still investigating the circumstances of his death.

NS really killing our boys?

an interesting posting from the sbf forums about a personal letter written by the late DR ALLAN OOI who was found death under a flyover bridge in oz.

read with discreet. if it's true, our NS could be unwittingly murder to many of our compulsory army serving boys. by the way, is there a need really for NATIONAL SERVICE? or it's just an excuse for our gov to flaunt their wealth and their capability to "amass latest weapons for mass destruction"?

the sadistic bus stops

since i ve done a SADIST SBS BUS, might as well continue with more sadism.

this time, it's the sadistic SBS BUS STOPS!!

there is one particular bus stop along orchard that really both amuses n pisses me off. it's located just outside LUCKY PLAZA. when u rush there to have a good look - and if it's still there, take a pic and post it here.

this sadistic luckyplaza bus stop is always crowded as its location is busy orchard rd. however, the bus stop is designed in such artistically but impractical manner.

there are many advertisement boards which obstruct the smooth flow of the heavy human traffic and commuters. worst, on one end, u will see one ad panel boasting CIVIL DEFENCE. this obstructs the already very narrowed pathway.

now WTF do those SBS idiots put that up for? ads money?? then wtf again does CIVIL DEFENCE waste resource to boast about themselves? too much money??

this bus stop is dreadfully blocked with more ads panels obstructing people from walking conveniently to access into lucky plaza for a smooth human passage. speaking about those ads, guess what were put up there?

"SEXYTONOTHING".....well, have u guessed it?

TRIUMP EXTRA - LACEY BRAS ON BIG BOOBS MODEL!!

when u ve really noticed that, it's flag raising ceremony time in between your legs. and the bus u ve waited for so long gotta arrive at this crucial moment! u can't get up and board, rite? your "flag is rising". u ven't finished singing ur "national anthem". so u sit. trying to lower that "flag" of yours. by the time, it's lowered, ur bus has long gone!

u see, SBS could be dominated by a bunch of sadists who are both avariciously hurting ur pockets and love to torture commuters. first they replace buses that jerk and cause "90% injuries" to commuters. next, they put up ads panels that obstruct. and inside those panels they put up SEXYTONOTHING lacey bra-ed big boobs bitches to encourage national patriotism in "raising the flag" in our pants which causes the flag raiser to miss the long overdue bus which finally arrives and zooms off before the flag raiser could unabashfully stand up and board.

and yes, SBS maybe haven't finish the sentence they started:

WE ARE HERE TO SERVE.....

the conitnuing phrase should be:

ONLY TO SERVE OUR POCKETS, PEASANTS WAIT LONG LONG!!

literally, it means wait long long for the next bus.

another death in NTU

The Straits Times, AsiaOne




NTU staff found hanged

AN NTU infocomm project officer was found hanged at a staff apartment at the university's Boon Lay campus on late on Friday.

Zhou Zheng, a 24-year-old staff member of the Division of Information at the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) was found hanging in the balcony in his apartment at Block 101C Nanyang Heights where staff and graduate students reside.

Police said they received a call at around 10.30pm last night and when they arrived, the body had been brought down to the floor.

An NTU spokesperson said the university's support systems have swung into action to ensure that those who found the body are not traumatised, reported a local radio network.

Professional counsellors and senior university officers were immediately on site to offer support, help and counsel where needed. The man's next-of-kin has also been notified, according to a press statement released by NTU.

According to a statement released by NTU on Saturday, the late Mr Zhou Zheng, 24, from Hubei, China, graduated with a 2nd Class Upper Honours from NTU Electrical and Electronic Engineering in July last year.

He started work with a company upon graduation, but was laid off after two months.

He then joined NTU as a Project Officer on March 2 this year.

Said NTU's President, Dr Su Guaning: "All of us are deeply saddened by the loss. The Board of Trustees, management, the NTU community and I offer our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family."

This is the second death reported in NTU this week.

On Monday, Indonesian final-year student, David Hartanto Widjaja, 21, stabbed his professor before taking his own life soon after.

Widjaja, an Asean scholar also from EEE, had his scholarship revoked because he had not been performing well academically.

Straight from google translator:

There are in fact not in the slice David Hand
News article from www.kompas.com, a well known newspaper in English, that states that the cause of David's dead is still a mystery and many people are doubting what was reported by the Singapore media.

Thursday, 5 March 2009 | 08:59 WIB
SINGAPORE, WEDNESDAY - The death of David Hartanto Widjaja (21) is still mysterious. Initially, the Indonesian students studying in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, be it suicide after puncture pembimbingnya lecturers. Now, the news began to doubt that many parties.

Initial information is circulating through various mass media coverage of Singapore, both online and in print, said that Professor David puncture Kap Luk Chan (45) along with a kitchen knife 10 cm, and slice right wrist and a field of 4-storey building of the campus, on Monday ( 2 / 3) at 10:35.

After viewing the corpse David, both his parents, and Widjaja Hartanto Li Chai Kim, says there is no wound in the wrist David.

They were even taken aback, because it is wound in the neck pricker their second son is. No official explanation about the cause of the injury. In fact, appear that it is wild speculation Professor Chan who attacked David.

Professor Chan, who has left yesterday the National University Hospital, became the key witness in this case because he is the only person who together with David in the room when the work was bloody.

Until now, Singapore's police are still tracking what motive Prof David Chan attack so traumatic spine and hand. And still just allegations that David completed the task of finally being stress. Moreover, according to the daily Straits Times, David has just lost the school since 4 years ago. According to the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian embassy), David catastrophe investigation cases take 4-6 months.

Does not plunge

Speculation about David's death triggered the debate in the Straits Times website on Wednesday (3 / 3), titled Knife attack at NTU: Student Lost Study Award. In the comment column, a berinisial edwin2026 criticize coverage of Singapore that seems memojokkan David.

Man named Edwin Lesmana that include e-mail address and its ready to be responsible for any statement. He also said e-mail Tribun Batam, but refused to further explain its statement. Following comment on Edwin Straits Times.

"I was one of close friend David. I am here to give some facts and assumptions about this case. In fact, Lok Tat Seng, Dean of NTU, collects all the students from India in the International Student Center on the evening after the incident. He says there are only witness in a body to see David in the sprawling land, died. Dean said that the witness did not see David's balcony plunge.

The only official statement from the police, David was found dead. (According to the police, estimated David died at 10.45). They did not mention whether he was doing suicide.

They also only mentioned the 'professor is believed to be stabbed'. But it does not say that the 'professor who has been stabbed'. Where this assumption come from? Why do not they say about it?

I and some students gathered at the International Student Center at 8 pm after the incident and spoke to parents David. They claim to not see the wounds on the hands and circle the police have also confirmed the problem. Assumption I, David parents will not lie. Means that all the news media that David cut off hands is untrue.

According to her parents, have also injured in the head of David (it is assumed that injury from falling), and slice wounds on his neck. According to my opinion, injured his neck in very suspicious. How can he be hurt like that? Once again, according to parents David, the police suspect it's because his head injuries strike the ground during fall. If so, surely dagunya injured. The reality is not. My question, from which the original injury in his neck "?

David attacked

Following assumptions presented by Edwin. (1) David stabbed professor. How do you know? Crimes that occur in a closed room with only a professor, and David. No one shall see what happens. Witnesses only saw David walking out the room.

(2) When David was suicide, how can someone do that suicide can fall to the new glass roof fell to the ground, not directly sink to the ground. (3) David pergelangannya slice. I do not know where this story originated.

According to Edwin who had two years in one room with David, the information that David has the motivation because Prof. Chan gives a value that is not satisfactory because David has not submitted a report. Moreover, there are policies in the NTU not to inform the students about the value of their value before the exit.

"I suspect it is Prof. Chan who attacked David. There are several points about the reasons for me. First, according to various reports, filled with clothes David blood. If the circle of blood from his hands, he may not clean the blood in the hands of her wearing clothes. Can be more understandable if the injury was derived from his neck, "wrote Edwin.

Second, David tried to escape out of the room after the attack by professors. However, with a neck injury, he finally fell from the top balcony. Maybe he does not panic and realize after losing a lot of blood so that he fell, "Edwin pungkas. (Edy)

david was very lucky to have kaminari who is brave and chilvarous enough to probe into his "suicide" and deeper aspect of this unfortunate and untimely death.

SALUTE TO YOU KAMINARI...whoever u are! i salute u!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when i read about this tragic news, i was quite puzzled. it was a misfortune and yet the SHIT TIMES and tv media reported more about the credentials of that professor involved.

very strange kind of leeporting. does it mean to provide an referral "alibi" - something like a "pre-protection shield" and enactment of a "good citizen kane" image prior to police investigation?

NEVER LOOK THINGS AT THE SURFACE. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW STRONG THE UNDER CURRENT IS SOMETIME.

how many here have the conscience for TRUTH, JUSTICE AND SIMPLE MORALS?

or maybe we should ask: DO WE REALLY HAVE GOD WITH US?? IN FAITH....AND IN TRUTH??

before i m being SABOTAGED and BANNED again by the gang of nasty cowardly clones.....i hope the people involved, witnessed or know some other untold info or related to david could shed some light.

david was some parents' endeared son. as parents, we do not wish to raise our kid just to watch them painstaking committed suicide ...just like that, and it's all over.

LIFE ISN'T MEANT TO END LIKE THIS. LIVING LIFE IS MEANT TO BE LIVING HAPPILY AS LONG AS ONE CAN.

LIFE shouldn't be meant to end in such a way. feel the parents' pain and please stand out for them if there is a HIDDEN TRUTH somewhere in this unfortunate drama.

let's play detective to this sudden "suicide" of an indo student.

Today, 02:37 PM
I am one of David Hartanto's close friend and I am here to give you some facts, assumptions, possibilities about this case

Facts:

1. Lok Tat Seng: Dean of Student of NTU gathered all Indonesian students in
International Student Center on evening after incident and he just said there was witness on the spot who saw David's body lying on the ground, dead. Dean did not said that witness saw David jumped from balcony. And that is, according to him, all he has saw.

2. The only official statement from police is: David was found dead at
the crime scene, they did not mention whether he commited suicide.

The link: http://www.straitstimes.com/STI/STIM...20at%20NTU.pdf

They also just mention 'The professor was believed to be stabbed'. The police
did not say that 'the professor was stabbed'. Where this assumption come from? Why they did not say about it?

3. I and some Indonesian students gather tonight, 3 March 2009, at 8 pm,
at International Student Center and talked to David's parent.
They have seen his body. There was NO WOUND whatsoever on his wrists and police also has confirmed it. I assumed that his parent would not lie it means that all media news about
'David slashed his wrist' was FAKE.

4. The wounds found on David's body, according to his parents,
were on his head (It is assumed due to fall injury),
and slash wound on his neck. The wound on his neck is very suspicious, in
my opinion. How he received that wound?? Again, according to his parent,
police guessed that it may be happened when the bottom part of his head smashed the ground. In that case, his chin will have broken and it did not.
My question is: WHERE DOES THAT SLASH WOUND ON HIS NECK CAME FROM?

Assumptions:
1. David stabbed professor. How did you know? The crime scene is closed room, only David and that professor. No one see what has happened. Eye-witness only saw David run out from that room.

2. David commited suicide. How could someone who commited suicide drop himself into glassed roof, instead of directly drop himself to ground.

3. David slashed his wrist. I do not know where this news came from...

4. David's motivation.

4.1. He pissed off since his prof did not give satisfactory grade The grade has not been released and he even has not submitted the report. It is also NTu policy not to inform the student about the grade which they got
before release of the result.

4.2. He has mental problem

No record in Student Counselling Centre about his attendance. For bright student
as him, I did not believe that he did not attend counseling if he has some
problems. Also, he still brought bag with usual daily stuff, on incident day,
such as drink bottle, towel, etc. If David planned to kill someone why would
he prepare to bring such things. It is easier for him to just bring one knife
and stab his prof on spot.

4.3. He pissed off because his scholarship has been revoked
I knew David since I was his roommate for 2 consecutive years during Mathematical Olympiad training camp. He almost did not qualify for IMO, only managed to get at 14th rank from 15 people selected. He still joked and laughed to me at that time. He also did not get anything from IMO and still fine, not seemed depressed whatsoever, and according to his parents, he said 'At least, I managed to represent Indonesia at IMO' He also still play Hammerfall game in Facebook at 2 am on the incident day. My friend saw his Facebook account online. How come a murderer played game in the night before incident? If I was him, I will seriously think how would I prepare myself tomorrow

Possibilities:


1. Professor attacked David. I deduced this thing for several key points.
According to many reports, David's cloth was soaked on blood. If the blood is
the result from slashing his wrist, it should not soak his cloth since wrist is
far from body. If the wound is from neck, it is easier.

2. David tried to run from Professor. After he realized that he was attacked,
he resisted and run from that room, with wound on his neck.

3. David falled because of unconsciousness. He became panic and probably lose his common sense because of terrible bleeding, drop himself down into
glassed roof to escape from his Professor.

I am responsible for what I have written here, and contact me at
kaminari.no.me@gmail.com if you need any clarification.

FACTS :

1. the student's parents have declared to the indo medias that they
did not see any wrists wounds whatsoever on david's body, it was
basically a lie made by the singapore medias. They saw a stab wound
instead on david's neck

sources : http://newspaper.pikiran-rakyat.com/...etail&id=62511,
http://batampos.co.id/Utama/Utama/Ad...her_David.html,
http://www.detiknews.com/read/2009/0...di-leher-david,

http://www.radar-bogor.co.id/?ar_id=MjcwNjI=&click=MQ==,
http://www.banjarmasinpost.co.id/rea...a-luka-tusukan,
http://dunia.vivanews.com/news/read/...di_leher_david, and many more.

2. Prof. chan kap luk wasn't eager to speak out about david's attack

sources : http://news.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne...04-126014.html,
http://www.divinediary.com/2009/03/q...david-widjaja/

3. the carotid artery in the human's neck comes in bigger size than the ulnar arteries in the human's wrists. bigger size = brings more blood.

source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_artery

4. David's shirt, pants and body were covered in blood

source : http://singsupplies.com/showthread.php?t=19752&page=2 (see
picture) I've seen a clearly better picture of it though, but they may
have removed it.

5. blood flows when a human is alive (david did not die instantly).

QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ASKED :

1. If the singapore media is biased about david who stabbed the prof,
why can't they be biased about the prof who stabbed david too?

2. Why wasn't professor chan eager to tell about his part of story and
bring out his part of justice (if there's any?)

3. David's body, clothes and pants were soaked with blood. his hand
palms were too (if you see the picture above properly), was he holding
his injured neck to stop the blood flowing? in anguish and pain he ran
from sixth floor down to fourth floor and fell to the ground. Dean of
NTU said no witness saw david jumped, all they knew was a dead body
found on the ground which left blood trail on the glass roof top.

4. If the blood on david's clothes & pants were not his, then whose
blood did it belong to? why would he soak the prof's blood on his
clothes and why did the prof let him do so?

IF I WERE TO BE THE ONE WHO INVESTIGATE :

I'd give a lab check of the blood trail in front of the prof's office
& door, whose blood does it belong to? the prof or david? (hopefully
they haven't cleaned it up)

BY THE END OF THE DAY

1. the singapore and indo medias are reporting 2 different stories.
the singapore medias have gone far and quick enough to report about
the motive of david attack which may be scholarship termination, while
the indo medias are still puzzled by the question "was david killed or
did he commit suicide?"

2. autopsy result will come out next month, court service 4 months from now.

3. let's not judge this problem based on nationality issue, it's
something more serious instead. the classic lecturer-student problem.
parents of ntu students and ntu student no matter what
race/nationality you are please do speak up for justice, don't wait
til it's too late to have you/your children as the victim/s next.

4. be sceptic to the media but think critically. no emotions involved.

5. God is with those that speak for justice, dead men do speak too.

6. more than 30.000 people viewed this thread. still counting and
spreading. the media is no longer powerful.

thinkaboutitagain
Today, 08:47 AM
and let's not be too quick to ask WHY david or the prof stab each
other, or what's the motive behind the stabbing. First thing to do is
to be clear of who stabs who first, and how did david die.

layperson
Today, 09:07 AM
just do not like what ST is trying to protray David as now..a trouble
youth that is addicted to a computer game suddenly....could anyone
from NTU give any clarification on this? Is it true that he shut
himself completely off?

For who stabbing who,,,that for the policeman to prove..what disturb
this layperson is how singapore media to painting the pic.
