He had every opportunity to tell his side in other forms like books or the internet. This guy is no different from Rajaratnam, Goh Keng Swee etc because they all didn't do anything of substance to tell the true stories. All wanted the world to beleive that they were honest men and never cheated or tried to harm others or hard clandestine activities and interests. All died a pathetic death and history will not let them off easily.
Add Devan Nair to the list.Since he and LKY were hand in gloves in many of their evil deeds.In fact their silence over their own comrades detained under ISD for so long maketh them privy to the crime itself.Yes,I never had any good feeling about Rajaretnam nor Goh Keng swee---they were all part of the dirt.
But somehow LKY dug them deeper and buried the entire lot of his cohorts.
Which adds justice to old the adage that if you are privy to the crime,you are no less a criminal too.
But I do believe,that except for LKY ,all others of his cohorts developed cold feet midst of LKY's spinning his hideous web of evil empire.It must have had been too much for them to swallow.Obviously,we would have been glad if they just opened their mouth to alert us--or even write a book as you say.But who would believe them?Since they are party to the crime itself.Worse,since LKY had the entire government machinery to come down on them heavy.As what unfolded during Devan's tit with LKY.
Devan knew LKY dirt more than most.And LKY know that.When Devan almost spilled his beans.Overnight Devan became a drunkard who beats his wife--as told by LKY in the parliament.Till today many still like to believe Devan is indeed the devil as LKY want us to beleive.That is the advantage LKY has over all others....as the incumbent government.We even believed Dr.Chee as the bicycle thief didn't we?
Hence,I do bevel almost most of LKY's peers,particularly Devan and Dr.Toh Chin Chye were eager and egging to spill the beans.But something held them back.And I could not speculate the reasons.But it must have been very valid.Since both died quite miserably.I am sure their wisdom would have agianst that and yet they died as bitter men.
In fact,almost everyone of the pioneers in PAP vanished without a shout.Only LKY bask in glory.Oh,yes! his entire family benefited too.Hence it would have been best if only two among them,notably Devan and Toh Chin Chye had spilled the beans.But my good guesstimate is LKY had anticipated that and preempted that as well.Perhaps by painting them as a total lies who who wereactually wolves in sheep clothing.
