Democracy

This is how democracy is supposed to work. Link.

Who spoke these words?
"If you believe in democracy, you must believe in it unconditionally. If you believe that men should be free, then, they should have the right of free association, of free speech, of free publication. Then, no law should permit those democratic processes to be set at nought, and no excuse, whether of security, inconvenience to traffic, or inconvenience to police officers, should allow a government to be deterred from doing what it knows to be right, and what is must know to be right."

In plain simple English, PM Lee is saying very clearly, without mincing his words,
"If you want upgrading, more transport services, continuous free porridge and hearing aids, etc, choose my man Choo, he has all my backing to provide you all these, that the Opposition man, Png, can't give."
