Lee Kuan YewIf you are a troublemaker, itโs our job to politically destroy you. Put it this way. As long as JB Jeyaretnam stands for what he stands for โ a thoroughly destructive force โ we will knock him. Everybody knows that in my bag I have a hatchet, and a very sharp one. You take me on, I take my hatchet, we meet in the cul-de-sac.
