Lee Kuan Yew's Dog
When Lee Kuan Yew came back to Singapore to practise law, he owned a dog. Like now, he liked to let his dog run around town unleashed. So, one day this predecessor of modern pappy dogs headed for a butcher shop and stole a roast. The butcher went to our young lawyer's office and asked, "if a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?"
Young Lee answered, "Absolutely."
"Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today."
Lee Kuan Yew, without a word, wrote the butcher a check for $8.50. The butcher, having a feeling of satisfaction, left.
Three days later, the butcher found a bill from the lawyer: $100 due for a consultation.
...........now you know why Lee let his RC, CCC and simigrassroot porlumpar doggies run loose...........
