"Chiam See Tong (b. 1935) is Singapore’s longest serving opposition politician. He is the founder of the Singapore Democratic Party, and later the Singapore People’s Party. Chiam has long rallied for the need of an opposition as the essential democratic check on a one-party system. Let the People Have Him is the first biography of an opposition politician from post-independence Singapore—a biography of a man who, through his accomplishments and devotion, struggled to build a fairer, more balanced and diverse country."--Publisher's website.
