The PAP Government has stopped Ms Chee Siok Chin from attending a democracy leadership programme at Stanford University in the US.

Ms Chee was one of only 27 candidates selected from 500 applications to attend the Stanford Summer Fellows on Democracy and Development which will take place from 28 Jul - 15 Aug 08.

The Official Assignee's (OA) office rejected Ms Chee's application to travel to Stanford. Ms Chee was adjudicated a bankrupt in Aug 07 after she was ordered to pay cost over a court case challenging the Government on the Constitutional rights of the four persons who had protested in front of the CPF building.
