http://www.littlespeck.com/new/CTrendsPolitics-061126.htmMr. Lim Kim San had "his reservations against throwing money at politicians. His personal preference was to give them challenges and dare them to overcome them.”
Not convinced that high pay packets were necessary to beget good politicians, he said in an interview in 2000: "You don't throw money at yourself. We have a lot of people, like entrepreneurs, who will accept challenges. What is worrying me is that we are having less people who will take up a challenge'." (S.T. July 21, 2006)
