Lee Kuan Yew lost for words during
cross-examination by Chee
The following is an exchange between Dr Chee Soon Juan and Mr
Lee Kuan Yew during cross-examination on 27 May 08. Note how Mr Lee
was unable to answer Dr Chee at the beginning of the session. Mr
Lee appeared vulnerable at certain moments.
This was never revealed by the mainstream press. Through clever
editing, the Minister Mentor is always portrayed to possess a
sharp-tongue and quick-wit. This exchange explodes the myth. It
will change the way you see Mr Lee and the whole PAP machinery.
Shorn off their media make-up they look and perform very
ordinarily.
Still, his was a better performance than Lee junior who seemed
nervous and stiff. It was clear that Hsien Loong could not expound
the ideas that his father could. This is understandable as many of
the younger generation of leaders are technocrats with few original
ideas of their own.
Also, the state media went out of its way to describe Dr Chee
and Ms Chee as incompetent and rude. The transcript, taken from the
audio-recording, will show this to be wholly false.
CSJ: Mr Lee, we get to meet at
last.
LKY: (pause)...Sorry?
CSJ: We get to meet at last.
LKY: I thought we've met many other times
across election rallies.
CSJ: Your memory fails you. I've never met
you before and you know why? Because you keep avoiding
me...
