Opposition chief tells Singaporeans: Don't be afraid


INTERVIEW -
Kenneth Jeyaretnam, whose late father and veteran opposition leader
was bankrupted in defamation lawsuits by the ruling People's Action Party (PAP),
said his two-year-old Reform Party was encouraging people
to come out and offer different views.

"Firstly, do not be afraid.  You have a right to exercise, to have a say, in how your country is run,"
Jeyaretnam told Reuters in an interview at his apartment...

"Singapore is not going to collapse.
 Competition in politics is as necessary as it is in economics to ensure efficiency."
