An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Previously, IME said that they approached Huawei and the latter turned them down. Now, it is revealed that there was collaboration! Two of the colleagues that testified are originally from PRC. The technology that IME acquired had dual uses. That's why the vendor had limited IME's access to the technology. Since the material is used for radar and satellite communication, it is totally bs for IME to say that the technology was not military or sensitive research. Quote: Shane Todd inquiry: IME and Huawei collaboration limited to tests, preliminary talks Witness Yuan Li, Shane Todd's colleague, is seen leaving the subordinate courts on May 17, 2013. He is one of three of Shane Todd's colleagues at IME who told the inquiry that the institute was not involved in any military or sensitive research involving the semiconductor material Gallium nitride (GaN), as suggested in a February article by the Financial Times on his death. By Lim Yan Liang & Feng Zengkun The Straits Times, AFP Friday, May 17, 2013 Dr Susai Lawrence Selvaraj, Dr Yuan Li and Dr Wang Wei Zhu from Dr Todd's GaN research group at IME, said such sensitive research was not possible as their team was in its infancy when Dr Todd was employed, and the operating speed of the devices that IME was focusing on was too slow for military applications. SINGAPORE - Colleagues of a US scientist found hanged in Singapore last year told a coroner's inquiry Friday he was not involved in projects with military applications and was never asked to compromise any country's national security. High-tech researcher Shane Todd, whose death under disputed circumstances last June sparked global media attention, was part of a research team working on gallium-nitride (GaN), a semiconductor that can be used in radar and satellite communications. Todd's parents allege their son was murdered after he had grown anxious the project he was working on for the Institute of Microelectronics (IME) was linked to a Chinese telecoms firm and could endanger US national security. Medical experts have said that an autopsy report point to a suicide, but the family, backed by senior US officials, asked for a deeper probe. "During his time at the IME, Shane was never asked to do anything that would compromise the national security of any country," Patrick Lo, deputy executive director for research at the institute, told the inquest on its fifth day. "Shane was also never asked to obtain restricted or classified information and to provide them to other countries," said Lo, who was Todd's immediate superior. The coroner's inquiry, which is due to last until May 28, will determine the cause of his death. At the time of his death at age 31, Todd had just finished a stint with the IME, where he was part of a team working on GaN. His former colleagues however told the inquiry there was nothing sinister about the project and that research on GaN is commonplace in the industry.
