<http://www.malaysia-today.net/Blog_surat1/2006/10/anwar-ibrahim-press-statement.html>
Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia Today

Clearly Lee Kuan Yew is still trapped by his outdated thinking. His argument exposes the element of racism which has been suppressed for so long. THerefore he recognises the problems of Chinese overseas but not the anxiety of the neglected Singaporean Malays.
