What Do You Think About This?

[Silent88scope]

Devan Nair, the third President of Singapore and who was living in exile in Canada, remarked in a 1999 interview with the Toronto The Globe and Mail that Lee's technique of suing his opponents into bankruptcy or oblivion was an abrogation of political rights. He also remarked that Lee is "an increasingly self-righteous know-all", surrounded by "department store dummies". In response to these remarks, Lee sued Devan Nair in a Canadian court and Nair countersued. Lee then brought a motion to have Nair's counterclaim thrown out of court. Lee argued that Nair's counterclaim disclosed no reasonable cause of action and constituted an inflammatory attack on the integrity of the government of Singapore. However, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice refused to throw out Nair's counterclaim, holding that Lee had abused the litigating process and therefore Nair has a reasonable cause of action.<ref>Lee v.

I chanced upon this from another website and after reading the above, do you guys agree with what our ex-president said was true? Share your thoughts here.

Yes. The case was stopped later, as far as I understand, as too much Kuan Yew dirt was coming out. Some Singaporeans can still vouch for that here as they were witness and the early saviors of Singapore. Kuan Yew cannot make it when it comes to due process.
