-140 billions, it is still a lot of money and it doesn't change the
overall direction (big picture) of the essay.
Of course if the essay is about how much the Lee family owned, the
diff between 1 billion and 130 billion is not a minor
point.
Who knows what is the net worth of the Lee's put together
?
The law firm itself should be worth something, considering its work
in Singaore, and impact of Singapore's development on its own
fortunes.
With the placement of members of the 'First and its Extended
Family' into every upper echelon of Government and Government
Linked Companies, it does give a semblance of reality to Singapore
Inc being 'a family runned enterprise' - and the figure certainly
look plausible (doesn't it ? ) .

So you believe in 'freedom of speech' and the 'freedom to trust
on the internet' ?
What about your condescending position towards those who do not
believe in your preference to 'RUN AWAY', but prefer to face the
situation with patience and subtlety ?
