ලී ක්වාන් යූ සහ සිංගප්පූරු වර්ජකයෝ
“I can tell you that when I met the SIA pilots, I didn’t meet them on TV, I met them face-to-face. Five feet across the table so they can see me, and see whether I’m still vigorous, able to campaign and take them on. Whether it’s worth taking me on.
And I offered them two choices. Either you stop this intimidation, which is what it was, bringing SIA right down. Disrupting services, ruining its reputation. Millions of dollars worth of advertisements and sales ruined within a matter of two weeks. I gave them a choice. Continue this and I will by every means at my disposal teach you and get the people of Singapore to help me teach you a lesson you won’t forget.
And I’m prepared to start all over again or stop it! Get back to work, restore discipline, then argue your case.
Took them 65 minutes and they decided ok it isn’t worth the fight.
Why? Because they know they’ll lose.
They know that I’m prepared to ground the airline. They know that I can get the airline going again without them.
And let there be no mistakes about it. Whoever governs Singapore must have that iron in him. Or give it up. This is not a game of cards. This is your life and mine. I spent a whole lifetime building this. And as long as I’m in charge, nobody’s going to knock it down.”[/B][/B]
