1. They both made pap look bad in different ways. Besides money and power, face especially internationally is the thing they cherish most.
2. They have rasied different issues at different times, in support of ordinary folk.
3. They have got reasonably good people into their parties to stand against pappy candidates in elections.
4. In CSJ's case, he has made sacrfices that are clear for everyone to see.
5. In LTK's case, he has got more opposition MPs into parliament through a risky move for him personally. Don't forget someone had to "say sorry" to try and prevent it.
6. What CSJ has said in speeches and in his books, they cannot be interpreted any way, other than a knock on pap and u-know-who in particular. Even if it is wayang, it is a negative for them. And boy, would it be a very very convoluted, well acted (mainly on the pappies part) and long drawn out wayang.
Btw, please note that I'm not referring to support from foreigners or foreign entities. Neither is it about whether he's smart, capable, savvy, polite, shrewd, etc. In the political sense, probably not. It's "pap mole" we are discussing here, just to be sure we are on the same page.
That's it for now, from me. Now your turn.
