1) Direct the letter to the Head/Chief Minister/Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director or equivalent and preferably hundreds more (his assistants, those below him, staff, colleagues, etc) so that everyone can read it and share. It is much better if this complaint is sent via email so that the content can be easily spread through the intranet and internet.
2) Don't forget to start off with a bold subject line and give the appropriate greeting - Sir/Mdm, etc. For example:
Subject: A complaint about the quality control of SAF officers3) Follow up with a brief description of your role in the organisation.
Dear Sirs and all,
4) Then write an extensive report of your complain, preferably at least 10 paragraphs long. Remember to make it as detailed as possible.
5) After the report, write your editorial or analysis. This is where you make your feelings known if you feel you're being mistreated or an action taken isn't fair, why should the organisation take your complaint seriously, etc. Make sure this is around 10 paragraphs long too. The longer, the more impact ya.
6) And to end it all do provide a summary and sign off with your name and position. For example:
While I may only be a 2nd lieutenant, I am a citizen of this country. And as a citizen I have the right to demand high standards from the leaders of the SAF While it is true that high standards are hard to come by and even harder to enforce, for such events to come to light and yet nothing be done about it is to say the very least, unacceptable and disappointing.That's it. Oh I forgot to add that it helps if your father happens to be the Prime Minister of your country, your mum runs the country's investment arm and your grandad is the most powerful person to have ever lived in the country.
Yours Sincerely,
2LT Li Hongyi

I wonder what his daddy has to say to him.
Ground him?
Spank him?
Cut his allowances?
SAF sucks! About time someone show to the rest of Singaporeans how bad our army is.
Don't we all wish our father is the PM?
Sigh...
Makes a lot of things easier.
the best HOWTO ever!
Be bold when writing a complaint letter, as long as you send it to the guy whose boss is your papa.
The boy is brave enough to do it because his dad is the prime minister. But he could have done it in a better way instead of mass emailing his complaint.
Thanks IZ. I think I need to shoot one to my MD soon. Work's killing me!
Brave boy but not very smart aye. His dad is already the boss so just complaint and bitch to him over dinner lah. Now I'm interested in his punishment. Is he gonna create a S'pore version of the Paris Hilton controversy?
Haha!
Great post man.
spank him
He must have had too much time on his hands to write such a fucking long letter.
I wonder if he actually told his daddy before sending out the email.
Wow Lau! Lee Empire you win again!!Better then any NUS OR NTU Complain letters!!
singapore needs more freedom of speech!! All big bossess watch out.
Hi,
Thank you for your wonderful blog. I found your site as I was looking for complaint letter samples. I have also found an excellent source of consumer complaints and actual complaint letter to companies.
Regards,
