Chris Balding writes open letter to PM Lee

[Confuseous]

Additionally, if I am allowed to come and my schedule permits, maybe we can arrange a time to meet over coffee to discuss the state of Singaporean public finances. I am quite concerned that the information you are being given by people you have entrusted to oversee entities like Temasek Holdings and GIC is erroneous. I would be more than happy to take time to review some of these disturbing findings in greater detail as I am able to “back up my charge.”

Given your admonishment that “if we cannot trust a politician to tell the truth, then we cannot trust him or her to safeguard public funds”, let us strive for this ideal together “speaking the truth even when it is inconvenient.”

He writes about GIC/Temasek stuff which is not the "right" politics

This is a very serious matter of integrity which the PM should take up. Not only is S'pore's reputation at stake, the whole Lee family's name is also at stake, since the wife runs Temasek Holdings, and the PM puts her there.

Better still, why not have a TV debate telecast LIVE by Mediacorp ! That way, no hanky panky, no cuts after the fact.

do they have grounds to sue?

but hey one doesn't need proper grounds to sue, from personal experiences, just enough money to pay a lawyer then can sue sue sue already

By stating the bleeding obvious truth.

Truth is always offensive to deceitful people.

I thought foreigners are not allowed to have any say in Singapore politics? People must be desperate to make an exception for Professor Balding. Or is he a citizen??

according to Lee, that is not the right politics for Singaporeans to hear

My apologies. How about this for 'right politics'?
