"What he [Lingle] saw in Singapore got his defiant juices going. Although Singapore is advancing rapidly in economic terms, it is more authoritarian than Pat Robertson's idyllic 50's ... He's paid a big price for his honesty. But, he's going to win this fight. Because he's got the courage and conviction it takes. His book is in its second printing. ...In time, when the regime in Singapore falls, Dr. Chris Lingle will have helped bring about its collapse."
