Pacific Affairs: Book reviews -- To Catch a Tartar: A Dissident in Lee Kuan Yew's Prison by Francis T.

SINGAPORE HERALD: February 2005 Because Francis Seow was in some ways an insider within the Singapore elite he has the ability to give a perspective not usually available to outside commentators.

The role of Article 19, a freedom of expression advocacy organization based in London, in commissioning this project is hence important. singaporeherald.blogspot.com /2005_02_01_singaporeherald_archive.html   (1064 words)
