Even he lost (cst), pple will still respect him as a great
opposition leader.
i'm sure many people hold a lot of respect for him as it is
seriously not easy to be re-elected 5 times. however i feel
that his recent spat with his ex-protege Lim Bak Chuan is
not doing him good for his reputation as well as for the next GE.
hope that he will be able to handle the situation well
enough and clear things up to restore his credibility.
