PM Lee: Problems are real but...

IT WAS the first lunchtime rally of the 2011 elections.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong led the line for the People's Action Party as they sought to engage the office crowd around Raffles Place yesterday.

In front of the throng that had gathered next to UOB Plaza, PM Lee touched on a range of topics, including Mas Selamat's escape, housing prices and the differences between his style and Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew's.
