Letter to Singapore

Dear Singapore,

I’m writing you this letter because I care about you, and because I want to talk to you about something serious, but please allow me to first summarize the past two years.

1. On July 18th 2024, based on a single 3rd party’s words, you threw me in jail for a night and locked me up in your psychiatric institute for three weeks for I doing my best to save the life of my suicidal best friend / girlfriend, Phyllis.
2. During those three weeks, you restrained me to beds, injected sensitive-me with brain-altering drugs against my will, forced me to swallow brain-altering drugs, and interfered in my relationships by talking to people in my life behind my back.
3. The above directly caused the relationship Phyllis and I had spent 3+ years building to fall apart within months after my release.
4. A police officer then told both Phyllis and I that it was illegal for us to communicate going forward.
5. When I went to talk to Phyllis a month and a half later on Nov 21st, police officers showed up and separated us, and that evening I was again locked up in your psychiatric institute for three weeks.
6. During these three weeks I was physically and emotionally tortured for my refusal to swallow brain-altering pills. At one point I was left restrained to a bed for 18 hours, which deprived me of sleep and constitutes sleep deprivation, which is in violation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture and the Geneva Conventions.
7. As per its own report, during these three weeks your psychiatric institute talked to Phyllis about she setting boundaries with me and applying for a restraining order against me, while Phyllis moved her clothes back into my apartment, slept at my apartment, bought a cute figurine for my bedroom with the words “love” and “sad” on it, and visited me at your psychiatric institute. This was textbook relationship interference.
8. A few months later on April 17th 2025, without talking to me at all, 4 police officers physically assaulted and arrested me for crying in public. I was again locked up in your psychiatric institute for three weeks.
9. During these three weeks, I was completely cut off from the outside world without a phone, not allowed to make phone calls, and not allowed to have visitors. And I was again subjected to severe human rights violations.
10. Over the course of the 10 months during which I was locked up in your psychiatric institute 3 times, I lost all but 1 of my relationships. This was not by chance, it was directly caused by your psychiatric institute’s actions.
11. Your psychiatric institute has writen reports on me that are full of provable lies, nonsense, and baseless personal attacks.
12. Your psychiatric institute has completely stonewalled me regarding my concerns about how I was treated. It has refused to admit to any sort of wrongdoing whatsoever.
13. In spite of the existence of hard proof that I was wrongfully, illegally, and unconstitutionally confined, your Supreme Court has struck-out my entire lawsuit against your psychiatric institute, in which I put up SGD10M of my own money in an attempt to protect Singaporeans from psychiatry. This was done during what I can only describe as a fake hearing. This doesn’t mean that it was fake, but I personally cannot see it any other way.
14. Your police has refused to investigate any of my 30+ police reports, including those about I having been tortured and the hacking of my bank account.
15. Your heads of state to whom I’ve sent numerous letters and emails have not responded to any of them.
16. On June 27th 2026, your police showed up to my apartment unannounced and rang the doorbell while blocking the eyehole, in what I can only assume was an attempt to trick me into opening my door.

Now, what I want to talk to you about is hurt, pain, and suffering, and how to actually get rid of these things for real.

Psychiatrists want society to think they help others.

Less bad is to want to help others.

Even less bad is to want others to be helped.

I want no one to need any help.

The way you (and every other country, this is not unique to Singapore) help individuals who have been hurt, who are suffering, who are suicidal, etc. is:

1. By telling them to pay someone to listen to their problems in therapy sessions
2. Or by handing them over to psychiatrists who lock them up, strip them of their rights and freedoms, and alter them via involuntary brain alteration.

The former means that no one but therapists hear about the biggest problems in the world. The ones that cause hurt, suffering, and suicidality.

The latter is just criminal.

Hurt, pain, and suffering are not the result of (imaginary) mind diseases and disorders as psychiatry will have you believe, there are real tangible reasons why people are unhappy. Hurt, pain, and unhappiness are not some mystical incomprehensible black box.

If you were to actually talk and listen to these individuals, ask “why” questions, and dig into the root causes to their pain, hurt, and suffering, you’d identify a whole host of problems in Singapore (and the world) that need fixing.

I get the sense that happy people don’t like interacting with hurt and unhappy people, and that that’s why society supports psychiatry locking them up and suppressing their feelings, thereby making it appear as though hurt, pain, and unhappiness don’t exist.

I love talking to unhappy people, so please allow me to do it for you. My life was destroyed and I have no desire to build something new that isn’t mine, so my only desire now is to make the world a less shitty place.

Empower me to talk to hurt and unhappy Singaporeans on your behalf, and allow me to compile a list for you of things that have hurt them and that are causing them to suffer, be unhappy, be suicidal, and perhaps even not have babies.

You can then use that list to make real changes that solve real problems, rather than implement surface solutions that may still keep suicide rates relatively steady in spite of severe underlying problems, but at this point there are no superficial solutions left that’ll stop declining birthrates.

Suicide rates are high and birthrates are low and declining. Regardless of how high GDPs are, it is evident that something in human society isn’t working. Allow me to compile a list for you of the causes of hurt, pain, and suffering of Singaporeans. Yes, it’s untried and unproven, but it makes sense, and what’s the worst that could happen?

If you don’t do this, I will go do it anyway, but everywhere besides Singapore. I will start by flying around the world talking to suicidal people and turning that into a web-show titled “The Root Causes of Suicidality”.

As part of this I would also honestly share about my own story, which would put Singapore in a very bad light.

I understand that governments care a lot about their image, but when it comes to me, you’re at fault for destroying your own image, because you’re at fault for your own actions relating to me. You can’t treat me like shit and then expect me to be quiet and protect your image.

This is exactly what therapy does. Problems get stowed away, are never talked about in public, and therefore never get solved. I will never lie about or hide anything, so people are going to find out my story sooner or later. Some might call me honest to a fault, but I don’t see any fault in honesty ever.

The choice you have before you is whether to continue to cover up what you did to me, or to take accountability and work with me to uncover the root causes as to the hurt, pain, and suffering of Singaporeans, and to work to prevent future hurt, pain, and suffering of Singaporeans.

The former is going to reflect incredibly poorly on you in the future, the latter is going to reflect incredibly well on you, because even though you’ll still have made mistakes, you’ll have admitted to them and made an effort not to make them again.

The choice is ultimately yours. Do what you deem best for you. But please take a page out of Hsien-Loong Lee’s book who admitted publicly to Singaporeans that mistakes were made in how the government handled COVID.

You may think that your citizens will trust you the most when you appear as flawless, but it actually builds far more trust when you are able to admit to having flaws, state that you are committed to becoming less flawed, and then take actions towards becoming less flawed.

Please be more concerned about who you are than about how others perceive you.

I personally cannot understand why you would choose to continue to side with psychiatry’s solution to suffering, which is locking up sufferers and suppressing their suffering, rather than my solution which is to listen to sufferers, investigate root causes, and then work to reduce the likelihood of it recurring.

Please have a non-IMH employee make this decision on behalf of Singapore, because IMH employees are too biased due to their affiliation with psychiatry and their livelihoods and senses of self-worth being dependent on it.

Regards,
Frank Lee

P.S. If you don’t talk to me, I will put additional pressure on Singapore with the help of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Human Rights Organisations.

I’ll always remain open to talk, because my desire is to reduce (and ideally eliminate) suffering, but the longer you take to come around, the worse it’ll reflect on you.
