Responses to Chua Sheng Yang's Forum Letter

My response to the ST letter “Questions on investment products rally” - November 18, 2008
Written by Ng E-Jay

This is my response to a Straits Times forum letter penned by Mr Chua Sheng Yang published in the print edition on 18 Nov.

Entitled “Questions on investment products rally”, Mr Chua claims that “too many people are taking advantage of the situation to get back money from what they knew was a risky investment“. He was referring to the recent rallies organized by Mr Tan Kin Lian at Speaker’s Corner to help investors seek redress over their failed investments in structured products.

Mr Chua sounds like a toy-sized replica of Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew who also assumed that “investors had no case” and that they went in “with their eyes open”. Like the Minister Mentor, isn’t Mr Chua also jumping to conclusions without any substantial facts, and even before the investigations have been completed? Who is he to assert that investors are taking advantage of the situation and that they knew it was a risky product?
