Wow.....is that true?

"A scintillating example was the televised inqusition of Mr. Francis Seow at the old Parliament House in October, 1986. It centred on the Legal Profession (Amendment) Bill which was aimed at discrediting Mr. Francis Seow and dislodging him from his position as president of the Law Society. MM appointed himself the inquisitor and started off confidently. In the course of the proceedings he was zugzwanged all the way by the superior debating skills of Mr. Seow.
He was so frustrated that he decided to call off the televised version halfway through but continued with the inquisition in Parliament House."Thumped by Francis Seow in parliament and then called off the televised debate to save face? Food to ponder.....

Is this speculation or actual fact?

It's no secret the Lee Monarchy really controls billions, simply because it controls Temasek.
Even if you dont count Temasek, the family has tens of millions simply through the salary being PM during LKY's time, and his son.
Personally, I dont begrudge them this.
If you want to see what happens when the usual dictator takes their cut, just look at the countries around Singapore.
Which place would you rather be in?

oh, i still don't know what the old guy was talking about either. never did check up if what he said was true but he was talking about mrs lee's law firm.
. he's a pretty successful businessman who dislikes the lees while supporting them at the same time.(used a lot of terms like "dictator" when refering to LKY)
he didn't like my thinking about politics saying young people nowadays each generation worse than the last. don't understand anything still want to make so much noise.

lol i always laugh when i hear this question because i know what my answer is. -
no big deal about billionaires rulers, infact, it is better to have a billionaires PM than having a poor guy standing up there and get manipulated from left and right without any direction.
When Billionaires left Philipine, Philipine become worst
When billionaires suharto left Indonesia, Indonesia become worst
When billionaires Thaksin left thailand, Thais are more worst
When billionaires LKY left Singapore..God bless us.
