		It is worth recalling that it was Lee Kuan Yew, then in political opposition, who first sought the favour and support of Lim Chin Siong, and, to a lesser degree, of Said Zahari, among others, in his quest for political control.
		Be that as it may, there is no doubt whatsoever Lee played a singular role behind the scenes in their subsequent incarceration by those governments, rationalizing their detention many years later by labelling them communists, communist sympathizers and such like, even though he knew they were not.
		Lee failed to mention that Chin Siong is a Singapore citizen who could not by law be banished: it was thus no act of compassion.

		Ban Kah Choon may compare the writer to “the magician who stands before the unknown to decipher what has yet to be written” but in several of the stories, the didacticism and in-your-face critique strips much of the magic from the narrative.

		However there is the big question of whether the electorate wishes to consider their town council as a primarily administrative or political body, given that its functions include Tenders & Contracts, Estate Management, Administration & Finance and Audit (in the case of Aljunied Town Council’s councillors).
		Yet when the ruling party continually leverages on its ability to deliver on its upgrading promises (and Lee Kuan Yew reminding us that there is no such thing as a level playing field in politics), perhaps this level of government has already been politicized and it wasn’t the opposition that started the fire.
		One could also fairly ask if this is feasible for Singapore as we are a very small country with limited numbers of people who are interested in political activity.

		Indeed, the first section of the new book — 15 chapters on various aspects of Singapore's political and economic development — underscores how Lee and his team took an almost step-by-step approach to nation-building.
