Mr Lee's aim was to prevent the people from being confused by the Communists, their front organisations and front men. In addition, through these talks, Mr Lee also presents to the people the referendum of merger with Malaya that would vitally affect their lives and to expose the conspiracy of communist opponents and their proxies to prevent the merger.
