Pinky has always been a mean, nasty son of a bitch. You see him smile and joke during speeches and interviews, but I just don't get good vibes from him.
Maybe the Dhanabalan slapping incident was more truth than fiction.
If this was an urban legend, then the story telling certainly goes very far. I was in a taxi going from KL International airport to the city, driven by a very talkative Indian driver. He asked me a question, which surprised me, he asked " we heard that LHL slapped your minister Dhalabalan"!, the word was "we"..I asked, who is "we"?? he answered " the Indian community in KL"..I replied " Oh!'? so far away in KL you heard, "my!".. I asked him, when was the last time you have been to SINgapore"?, reply " about 10 years ago"!. This took place in 1997 & have not forgotten about this URBAN LEGEND. My reply to him was, " we heard too"...guess, for something of a folk tales..certainly travel far...
It is up to you to trust & believe in a person, who had never really suffer in his life time...born not only with a silver spoon in his mouth, but have a titanium rice bowl, whereas ours are smashed & patched back, lousy fired porcelain bowls...
It is an URBAN LEGEND...
