Condolences to the family.

Clarence helped lots of folks when he was Comptroller of Customs.

Many people got rich when this man was running the place.  Looks like he did not get rich.

I worked at the Customs and excise Dept from 1968 to 1975.  At that time Corlette was my Comptroller. I do not know Clarence Chue. 

May his soul Rest In Peace.

I migrated a long time ago. But I had school friends who became customs officers and custom guards. They use to tell me some stories of what was going on. For example, leaving a person's shrimp cargo on the airport tarmac in the  sun if no bribe was paid. This man Chue was an honest man. You need a crook in charge to catch the crooks because he knows all the scams.

All these tax men are dying off.  Good thing Mitwah didn’t get that GRA job.

Chu did not take bribe.  He demanded it.

Now you are lying.

You point out where I am lying.  One of my classmates who worked for the Customs told me that. I will give you a bit of history. President  Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Joe Kennedy (JFK,RFK father) to be the first Securities and Exchange Commissioner in 1934-35.  (Head of the SEC).  In charge of regulating Wall Street. Joe Kennedy was a big stock manipulating crook.  He was appointed to head Wall Street because he knew all the con schemes.  It takes a crook to catch a crook.

Then your classmate is a liar.  The comptroller is an administrator. He is not involved in the daily activities of collecting duties. He does not come in contact with the businessmen and their clerks.

How is that hear say.  The guy told me that he did it himself.

Oi Prashski, it seems Bibiski was your classmate.

The buck stops with the Controller.  He/she is ultimately in charge of things.  It is his/her job that will be on the line because he/she has to ultimately answer to politicians.

You are getting beyond yourself.  He answers what to politicians?   You obviously don't how the department is run. He is head of the department and is updated on everything.   He is not corrupt as your ignorant classmate claims...  Procedures are set in place for his deputy and 3 CEO's to follow.  He receives his authority from the Official Gazette after the laws are passed by the Parliament.

I said that Mr. Chue was an honest man. You are a nut if you think that the controller is not answerable to elected politicians so he/she better know what is going on at the ground level.

That has nothing to do with topic on hand.  Your friend said that the comptroller make demands from members of the business community. He is not in a position to do so and that is why I said that your stupid friend is a liar.  It does not matter whom he reports to.  The controller is only required to give answers on policy matters to authorised Personnel in the Government.   

Which friend said the controller made him do it? Have you gone nuts. The friend did it himself. The controller would have fired him if he had known.
