[FONT=Verdana,]"In his memoirs, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, then Singapore's prime minister, recalled Mr Deng's compliment after spending three days in Singapore in 1978: 'I came to Singapore...in 1920. It was a lousy place. You have made it a different place.'

Mr Lee responded: 'Whatever we can do, you can do better. We are the descendants of the landless peasants of south China. You have the mandarins, the writers, the thinkers and all the bright people. You can do better.'

Agreeing that the rebuttal in Parliament was “harsh”, MP Charles Chong noted that Mr Tan didn't 'brag' about how expensive the trip was in the article.

“Maybe it made lesser mortals envious and they thought maybe he was a bit boastful. Would people have taken offence if his wife (a senior investment counsellor at a bank) had paid for everything ?”

LKY doesn't think highly of Singaporean from start. So its not a surprise, those words of MP Chong. Chong is just carry on with Lee Kuan Yew's 'lineage'.
