In the early 1980s bankers and stockbrokers on their lunch breaks would shuffle in embarrassment past a courteous, dignified figure, vaguely reminiscent, in his muttonchop whiskers, of a Victorian statesman-Gladstone, say. J.B. Jeyaretnam would be railing against the government of the People's Action Party (pap) led by Lee Kuan Yew and hawking the Hammer, the organ of his opposition Workers' Party.
