Authoritarian Dictator to get Honorary Doctor of Laws

Lee Kwan Yew, the authoritarian dictator who runs Singapore is to be given an Honorary Doctor of Laws by the Australian National University. No big announcement from the University, just a private announcement and a defacto stealth endorsement of Lee's use of the law to stifle debate, jail and bankrupt opposition politicians and general run an all around authoritarian regime.

Looks like grubby commercialism by the University to encourage more Singaporeans to come and spend their hard earned money at ANU. No Honorary Doctorates for jumped up Authoriarian Dictators please ANU. Where is the justice in this?
