Lee's Law: How Singapore Crushes Dissent by Chris Lydgate, ISBN 9780908011896

> Biography Books > Political Books Author: Chris Lydgate How Singapore Crushed Its Most Famous Dissident. The city-state of Singapore represents an unprecedented feat of physical, social, and political engineering but Singapore's prosperity has been purchased at a steep price: the erosion of human rights. This book traces the life and times of Singapore's most prominent opposition politician, JB Jeyaretnam. It follows Jeyaretnam's stellar career as an ambitious young lawyer, prosecutor, and judge, and shows how he became disenchanted with the system that promoted him. Jeyaretnam's story provides a chilling insight into Singapore's politics, and raises disturbing questions about its unique brand of Asian democracy. It is also a poignant story of a courageous individual who never swerved from his ideals - no matter what the cost.
