SINGAPOREANS who vote opposition just for the sake of it were warned by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew that they were risking their own fortunes.

Using a sports analogy, he reiterated the importance of ensuring a 'Division 1 team' was voted into Government.

Speaking at a National Day dinner yesterday in his Tanjong Pagar GRC, he said: 'You vote in a Div 3 Government instead of a Div 1 Government, the whole economy will subside within three, four years. Finished.'
