Lee Kuan Yew

« All quotes from this author
 

If it is not totalitarian to arrest a man and detain him, when you cannot charge him with any offence against any written law - if that is not what we have always cried out against in Fascist states - then what is it?… If we are to survive as a free democracy, then we must be prepared, in principle, to concede to our enemies - even those who do not subscribe to our views - as much constitutional rights as you concede yourself.
--
Opposition leader Lee Kuan Yew, Legislative Assembly Debates, Sept 21, 1955
