Sometimes I really don't know what this Lim Tean is trying to do, how would supporting political theatrics conducted but an unknown UK MP help in his own political cause in any way?
That random UK MP who wrote this letter is probably just going through motion to garner votes and money from UK voters of Indian ethnicity and NGOs with vested interest respectively. Bugger couldn't care less what the Singapore government does as long as he has "acted his part" in publishing the letter.
By making a show out of someone else's political charade, Lim Tean has probably pissed off most Singaporeans in the process. Other than a minority of fringe hardcore anti-PAP people who will support anything that makes the PAP look bad, most folks will likely take umbrage with a Singapore opposition figure allying with an unknown MP from an overseas country and dragging the country's reputation through m&d just to get his 5 minutes of fame.
Dr Chee Soon Juan used to adopt such self-destructive tactics in the past, thankfully now with age and experience he has changed tact and rehabilitated his tattered image amongst voters to a certain extent. Lim Tean, on the other hand, seems intent on mimicking and sculpting a more vulgar version of the young Dr Chee.
