Singapore Democratic Party's secretary general Chee Soon Juan, center, is seen with his party members staging a silent protest by sticking tape on their mouths with the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) logo drawn on it after a rally Wednesday May 3, 2006 in Singapore. The threat of a lawsuit by two of Singapore's top leaders against members of an opposition party in the run-up to May 6 elections recalls a tactic that critics say the ruling party uses to weaken or sideline its opponents. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his father Lee Kuan Yew, founder of modern Singapore, have said they would sue the leaders of the Singapore Democratic Party if they did not apologize for allegedly defaming them in a party newsletter by linking a local charity scandal to the ruling party's governance of the nation.
