My point is : Let the schools teach everything about what
happened in the past.......not some sanitised version.
To quote the Plen:
He added that after the 1955 constitutional arrangements came into
effect, "none of the politicians, including those who cooperated
openly with the colonial masters, such as C.C. Tan, John Laycock,
Lim Yew Hock, Chew Swee Kee and others, were 'dealt with' or
'harmed'."
"Historical truths cannot be distorted," he said.
"But as a party to the struggle, if I do not have the opportunity
at all to speak, how will historians be able to discover the
truth?" he asked.
================
What he meant was that he allowed all these people to live,
although he could have destroyed eveyone, including PAP leaders.
hence his role in history should be openly assessed.

The man who allowed everyone to live......he could have destoyed
everyone if he so ordered the Communist terrosists under his
command....
