Francis Seow was a well known womanizer.Something not politically right during his tenure as a solicitor -general.But Mrs LKY is known to have silently but steadily kept a file on every senior civil servants,ministers and judges.Something that becomes very useful if the tide turns against the Lees.The only person who outwitted Mrs LKY,I was told,is the former Chief Justice Wee Chong Jin....but he treadled the mid path rather well and stayed for very long.
Had LKY had his way,than it was likes of Yong Pung How --a Malaysian who held top position with MCA,who did not practice law for umpteen years.FYI ,Malaysian Chinese served the Lees rather well politically.Just like the Gurkha do.
Anyway,Subbas with a thuggish background is not revealed by LKY alone as Scroobal claims.It's a public knowledge among any one who had lived in Sembawang.Contrary to popular belief that it's Serangoon that is Little India,The real Little India of the yester-years were Sembawang/Naval Base and Tanjong Pagar.Let me digress,it's interesting to know that LKY built his foundation as a legal union adviser--a prelude to local politics in these two constituencies.Hence his contacts with Indians there rather close.
So tells my drinking kakis in their 60s and 70s.
But what misses everybody by a mile is why is Desmond Choo using these Yellow Ribbon team?GMS should know.Because his team who fought the Aljunied constistuency lost by a slim margin in 2006 was simply because WP did not address the Malay crowd.Now,Hougang SMC is not 100% Teochews,at least 25% by HDB quota alone must be minority races.Not to mention Hougang SMC being conveniently drawn to include Bedok Reservoir.
Do you have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out?
