| Introduction | I was formerly with the local political non-governmental organisation (NGO) Think Centre, where I was Deputy Executive Secretary, editor of the Centre's website, public affairs head, managed and organised activities and ran the day-to-day affairs of the Centre. On many occasions, I've also helped Singapore's political opposition parties, namely Workers Party & Singapore Democrats, during and after my Think Centre days. I was also involved in the Singapore Anti-Death Penalty Campaign for a period of time. During the course of my activism (all of which was voluntary work) I’ve worked with and/or known, assisted a remarkable number of individuals: James Gomez, J B Jeyaretnam, Chee Soon Juan, Chee Siok Chin, just to name a few of the prominent names. I've been M.I.A for a very long time but I still maintain contact and occasionally do attend and/or help out. Political/human rights activism, especially in Singapore’s repressive climate, takes ALOT out of you mentally; physically; emotionally; and financially. I'm contactable at jacobg69@gmail.com. |
