Radio Host
Lee had replaced Albert Jing Han Cheng, who resigned a week earlier, as host of Teacup in the Storm, a popular current affairs programme on Commercial Radio. Cheng resigned because he had been under pressure from pro-Beijing businessmen to stop being critical of the People's Republic of China government. Lee also resigned as the host citing the same reason.

Famous quotes containing the words radio and/or host:
“England has the most sordid literary scene I’ve ever seen. They all meet in the same pub. This guy’s writing a foreword for this person. They all have to give radio programs, they have to do all this just in order to scrape by. They’re all scratching each other’s backs.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Carlyle’s works, it is true, have not the stereotyped success which we call classic. They are a rich but inexpensive entertainment, at which we are not concerned lest the host has strained or impoverished himself to feed his guests. It is not the most lasting word, nor the loftiest wisdom, but rather the word which comes last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
