Knuckle sandwich

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has defended his decision to sue an opposition party ahead of the May 6 general elections.

It all started when Chee Soon Juan published in his party's newsletter stating that the PAP had all the while known there were irregulaties in the way NKF handled its funds; that there had been a cover up and that the NKF scandal is only one of many scandals around that the ruling party is trying to keep under a tight lid.

I don't really condone with the way Chee has chosen to handle this. This is guerilla politics.

Ironically, I also do not agree with the way PAP has chosen to respond with yet another suit. I do not think PAP should give Chee a break, as he had indeed broken the rules, but if you keep smacking a kid for any old "crime" that he did, he's gonna grow up stronger and more defiant.

He will grow up some day.

There's a better way to handle this.

Talk. That is the key.

Hardline approach will only be responded with more hardline approach.
