Maybe she wants a free trip to China with either the father or the son that her husband "opposes"?
Fourth-time lucky for Chiam
(147th Prostitute Press) 1 May 1991
TO CHINA, AT LONG LAST
IT will be fourth time lucky for Mr Chiam See Tong (right) when he boards the plane with the rest of the official delegation tomorrow morning.
The opposition MP told The Straits Times that he will be making his maiden trip to China after three failed attempts.
The first was in January 1979, when he paid $3,000 for a week-long tour organised by the Law Society.
But a snap by-election was called in February and he skipped the trip to stand in Potong Pasir as an independent candidate.
He lost to Mr Howe Yoon Chong of the People's Action Party.
The following year, he signed up again for a similar tour, but this time, th e Law Society had to cancel the tour because there were too few takers.
Last October, he was to have gone as part of the delegation accompanying Mr Lee Kuan Yew on his last trip there as Prime Minister.
But he came down with chicken pox and had to miss the trip again.
Mr Chiam is not taking any chances this time.
He said that his wife has been helping him keep a lookout whenever he drives , just to make sure.
If he makes it tomorrow, it would be a trip that he has prepared well for - having read many social and political books on China and Chinese history.
"Despite my inability to speak Mandarin, I am sure I have read more books on China than delegation leader BG Lee himself," he said with a laugh.
