An Ardent Wish
Catherine Lim
23 September 2013
Recently I attempted—alas, unsuccessfully—to get the following short note published in a local newspaper. It expresses a very strong wish I have had over the years.
On the occasion of the 90th birthday of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, I have an ardent wish, and it is this: that Mr Lee will cap the closing years of a long, illustrious life with an act of supreme magnanimity, that is, promise that if those Singaporeans who had been forced to go into permanent exile abroad, decide to return to Singapore, they will not be prosecuted, or punished in any way. Some of them must be very old now, and would want to spend their last years with family and loved ones in their home country.

Catherine, you may have to wait until your next life time to expect this vindictive old bastard to accede to your request / wish!
