American Funding of IME

In June 2012, an American research engineer, Shane Todd, was found hanged in his apartment. Dead. Of course. The Singapore Police Force has looked into this case, and they believe that his death was suicidal. That Dr Todd had died because of stress at work. However, why is it that this case has still not been closed? Dr Todd "had told his parents that he felt he was under threat because of his work with the 'Chinese'"  months before the incident. And this rose suspicion. Singapore Police Force has said that he "drilled holes into his bathroom wall, bolted in a pulley, then slipped a black strap through the pulley and wrapped it around the toilet several times. He then tethered the strap to his neck and jumped from a chair." However, no holes were found in the walls when the family visited his apartment, and of course no bolts and screws. Dr Todd also looked like he was about to move, stated by Financial Times, as he had clean clothes folded on the couch, about to sell his furniture, air ticket on the table and had packed boxes, ready to leave. Why would he do all these if he wanted to kill himself? In fact, there were many inconsistencies between the police report and the crime scene. Dr Todd's colleague also told his parents that no one believed that it was a suicide. A pathologist from USA also believed that there was a struggle, though the Singaporean pathologist dismissed that, as the American pathologist have only seen pictures.  Then, a hard-drive was found, and inside was schedules and plans with Hua Wei. Yep, that Chinese company. It seemed that it was possible that the Chinese company could have plans to take the semi-conductor technology for military purposes, and this scared the shit out of the American authorities. The IME also requested the Todds not to contact them, after the Todds fired questions at them. Then there are the Senators, who have tried to push legislation to stop funds to IME. I can totally understand that, and I have no objection to that until the situation is improved. USA is afraid that their technology might end up in China's hands, a good reason, and that Singapore Police Force was too inefficient, the Senators are also afraid that if any more things happen, the SPF would not give right answers. Thus, I believe that this legislation is completely justified.
