Despite LKY's obvious dislike for Dr Chee's petulant antics, for
some strange reason, LKY ended up dishing out sound political
advice for Dr Chee, his arch-nemesis during the Lee vs Chee 2008
defamation suit hearing.
LKY's advice for Chee was simple, he said in Court "I am
suggesting to Dr Chee that if he follows the constitutional route,
with his eloquence, if he can establish credibility with his
eloquence, he has a better chance than Mr Low Thia Kiang or Mr
Chiam See Tong."
In essence, Lee Kuan Yew felt that if Dr Chee mellowed down on
his confrontational politics and played by the rules, he could
become a politician more formidable than veterans like Low Thia
Khiang and Chiam See Tong. In fact, Dr Chee could become the
defacto leader of the Opposition if he could put his eloquence to
credible use. From these exchanges, it is clear that both men have
Singaporeans' interest at heart and had their own unique way of
showing it.
Now at this Bukit Batok 2016 by-election, look at Dr Chee's
demeanor, look at his firm standing on moral highground, his
refusal to partake in gutter politics, has Dr Chee finally heeded
the advice of the late Lee Kuan Yew and at long last fulfilled his
political potential?
Majulah Singapura, Majulah LKY, Majulah Dr Chee!
