"If it is not totalitarian to arrest a man and detain him, when you cannot charge him with any offence against any written law â€“ if that is not what we have always cried out against in Fascist states â€“ then what is it?â€¦ If we are to survive as a free democracy, then we must be prepared, in principle, to concede to our enemies â€“ even those who do not subscribe to our views â€“ as much constitutional rights as you concede yourself."

-- Lee Kuan Yew
