Take it from someone who spent a decade working in F1, a trip to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone is more punishment than perk! 😂

I'm sorry but what you say are very dangerous and serious allegations. You are insinuating that Lee Hsien Yang has been courting what you describe as "open societies" and other advocates of "regime change".

First off, what do you even mean by "open societies"?

Second off, is what you described about LHY's "courting" presumably to conduct regime change in Singapore and overthrow his older brother Lee Hsien Loong? Last I checked Singapore still at least bothers to portray itself as a democracy with a free one man one vote system.

Democracies have it baked into them the very idea of regime change, except it is through peaceful means of a freely taken and popular democratic vote. If you have issues with what you claim LHY to be courting "advocates of regime change", do you believe that Singapore is 1) under a "Lee Regime", and 2) should always stay under the "Lee Regime" in one shape or form?

I am the author of this piece yes. I was not paid to write it. John can attest to that.

Understand about your point regarding democracy going beyond one man one vote and including such things as free speech and assembly etc. Agree that Singapore is far from being a democracy despite having some of the trappings of one. As for everything else you raised, I'm not knowledgeable enough to give a rejoinder answer to them so I'll just leave it at that.

Mr kumar, i was mistaken. our practice is to pay our writers, i had not yet asked wong for his bank details and i assumed we would pay him. He has written for us on a voluntary basis. However, i can vouch for the fact that he is not acting for any non-state actors. he is a graduate student in the UK
