Subject: Public Apology to Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Sing-a-pore

Dear Members of the Linux-Kernel Mailing List,

I was misconstrued as having insulted Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew. 
My words were twisted and misinterpreted and I feel that there is a 
need to explain myself and set the record straight.

[b]What really happened[/b]

It was sometime in Aug/Sep in the year 2009. The setting was in the 
Tampines Central office of Asiasoft Online Pte Ltd. I was having a 
***verbal*** conversation with Melvin Lee, my new I.T. department 
manager, when he challenged me to complete an I.T. assignment 
within a specified period of time. In response to his challenge, I 
replied in Mandarin: "If I cannot complete the I.T. assignment 
within a specified period of time, then Lee Kuan Yew is wang ba 
dan". I used to be fond of using other people's names to "bet" with 
people but now no more. The Minister Mentor's name came into my 
mind spontaneously and I used it to "bet" with my I.T. department 
manager.

[b]Explanations[/b]

1. It was not my intention to insult the Minister Mentor at that 
time. Please note the use of the IF... THEN... statement in my 
verbal conversation.

2. I did not know wang ba dan [hanyu pinyin] means bastard at all 
until I consulted Goh Meng Seng much later.

I would like to apologize to the Minister Mentor and the Prime 
Minister of Sing-a-pore if I have offended them in any way. I swear 
it was not my intention to insult the Minister Mentor. Please 
forgive me for using your name carelessly to "bet" with my former 
I.T. department manager.

Yours sincerely,
