i watched the interview with great interest, since this year
would be my first time voting at the GE.
did anyone notice how MM Lee didn't answer about 50% of the
questions posted? he simply strayed off into another topic
altogether.
AND IT DIDN'T HELP THAT THE GIRL IN THE CENTRE KEPT HOGGING THE
LIMELIGHT AND ASKING IRRELEVANT QUESTIONS!
at the same time, viewers got a good sense of how much fight he
still has in him. i must say, he's still as tough as ever. it's not
going to be any easier for the opposition now than it was before,
even though the number of SMCs have increased from 2001.
also, the interview group consisted of mostly journalists. while
they put in a commendable effort to ask rather controversial
questions, i would feel that the group lacked background
information to sufficiently counter MM Lee's answers.
perhaps professionals from other industries should be included to
provide greater depth to the interview e.g. seasoned political
commentators, lawyers, professionals who had undergone an education
in political science etc.
