____________________________________________________________________________
If I remember correctly, after the fall of Saigon to the Vietcong Mr Lee Kuan Yew (the most outspoken asian leader at the time, definitely the darling of the western media then)was asked whether he (i.e. Singapore)felt threatened by the Domino Effect. In response, he equated Singapore's fear (if any) to what the Americans felt with Cuba as a neighbour.
Nowadays, we are proud to note that the international media would rather print your words rather than LKY's 'clever' quips. Neither will those in the currently affected countries find LKY's statement amusing.
