Subject: [Thunderbird email client] Composing email: Clicking Options > Delivery Status Notification Does Not Work At All!!!

Good day from Singapore,

Today is 13 November 2023 Monday Singapore Time 7 PM.

Recently I have installed Thunderbird email client version 115.4.1 (64-bit) SUPERNOVA in Windows 11 Home version 22H2 in my home desktop computer.

I have numerous Gmail email account(s). I do not know whether GMAIL is using Postfix or EXIM Mail Transfer Agent (MTA).

I have composed and SENT emails with the Subject: "Singaporean man who previously attempted to contest in the 2023 Singapore Presidential Elections has applied for refugee status/political asylum in the UK on 23 Oct 2023" to the following international news media outlets, mainly British, American and Hong Kong:

[01] BBC News (UK)

[02] The Guardian (UK)

[03] The Observer (UK)

[04] The Daily Telegraph (UK)

[05] The Sunday Telegraph (UK)

[06] The Washington Post (USA)

[07] The New York Times (USA)

[08] CNN (USA)

[09] Yahoo News

[10] Wired.com (USA)

[11] Vice.com (USA)

[12] Mothership (Singapore)

[13] Must Share News (Singapore)

[14] The Independent (Singapore)

[15] Goodyfeed (Singapore)

[16] Sky News (UK)

[17] The Times (UK)

[18] The Independent (UK)

[19] Channel 4 News (UK)

[20] Daily Mail (UK)

[21] The Sun (UK)

[22] The Mirror (UK)

[23] South China Morning Post (Hong Kong)

[24] Financial Times (UK)

[25] Reuters (UK) - I have managed to contact Reuters using contact submission form on its official website.

[26] Agence France-Press (France) - I have managed to contact Agence France-Press using contact submission form on its official website.

[27] Associated Press (USA) - I have managed to contact Associated Press using contact submission form on its official website.

Before sending each email, I will click Options > Delivery Status Notification in Thunderbird email client. I will ENSURE this option is clicked, besides clicking Return Receipts.

However, I have NEVER received any Delivery Status Notification for the emails that I have sent. Not even once. Though I have received Return Receipts, but they are very FEW.

Questions:

[1] Is there a bug with Thunderbird email client?

---OR---

[2] Did the Singapore Government have unfettered access and absolute control of all my email accounts? Were my outgoing emails to the above international news media outlets intercepted and deleted by the Singapore Government before they reach their recipients? Hence the above-mentioned international news media outlets have NEVER received my emails???

Many years ago, I think it was during General Election 2011 in Singapore, I think it was Mr. Tan Jee Say, who told me that the Singapore Government has secret/covert access to all the email accounts of all Singaporeans.

Why is the Singapore Government so scared to let the whole world know that Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming has flown from Singapore to London (transit in Shanghai, China) on 22 Oct 2023 Sunday and claimed refugee status / political asylum in the United Kingdom on 23 Oct 2023?

After the British Government has fully paid for my free Singapore Airlines SQ321 flight (because I only have about/approximately SGD$2400 in my bank accounts on 23 Oct 2023) and sent me back to Singapore from London Heathrow Airport (I was transferred from London Gatwick Airport to London Heathrow Airport) on a 12-hour flight on 23 Oct 2023, I saw someone (not me) had created a forum thread/topic at Hardwarezone Singapore Eat-Drink-Man-Woman (EDMW) forums with the title, something like:

"BREAKING Teo En Ming has claimed refugee in the UK on 23 Oct 2023..."

However, after 5 pages of forum discussion (I think), the administrators or moderators of Hardwarezone Singapore forums had QUICKLY deleted the above forum thread/topic. Maybe due to pressure from the Singapore Government. Maybe due to pressure from the Singapore Government.

I didn't see the actual forum thread/topic itself. What I saw was the Google Cache of the deleted forum topic. But now the Google Cache is also gone, I think.

Why is the Singapore Government so scared to let the whole world know that Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming has flown from Singapore to London (transit in Shanghai, China) on 22 Oct 2023 Sunday and claimed refugee status / political asylum in the United Kingdom on 23 Oct 2023?

Or is it a bug with Thunderbird email client that I have never received any Delivery Status Notification for the emails that I have sent out to the above international news media outlets?

Or was there a problem with the GMAIL SMTP servers?? Problem with Postfix MTA? Problem with Exim MTA? Problem with Sendmail MTA?

Why is the Singapore Government so scared to let the whole world know that Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming has flown from Singapore to London (transit in Shanghai, China) on 22 Oct 2023 Sunday and claimed refugee status / political asylum in the United Kingdom on 23 Oct 2023?

Mr. Teo En Ming has previously applied for political asylum / refugee status at the [1] United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR Bangkok (21-22 March 2017), [2] in Taiwan on 5 Aug 2019 and [3] in Australia (application by email through the Australian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur) on 10 March 2020. But they were never reported in the news anywhere at all.

There is widespread news coverage on Amos Yee, who had offended Singapore Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew 8 years ago in 2015. Mr. Teo En Ming had also offended Singapore Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew 16 years ago in 2007, many many years before Amos Yee did. So I don't understand why the Singapore Government is so scared to have widespread news coverage of Mr. Teo En Ming. Why can't the Singapore Government let millions and billions of people know Mr. Teo En Ming???????

The Singapore Government has really ordered a MEDIA BLACKOUT for Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming!

Regards,

Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming
Targeted Individual in Singapore
