“Why DID OBAMA not voiced a word on human rights and Dr Chee’s plights as well as those detained w/o any trial?”

He was here for less than 24 hrs, sorry no time to talk.

I am so impressed by the QUALITY of their comments. Especially those from “cy on Wed, 18th Nov 2009 9:10 pm” cy wrote and I find it WORTHWHILE TO Repeat of The OPPRESSIVE Nature of LKY in Itemised Format (7 items). Of LKY who ALWAYS THINK IN “Terms of HIS MEANS ALWAYS JUSTIFIES The END He Has in HIS MIND”. So… It’s ALL ABOUT about…

“Mindboggling quotes by Lee Kuan Yew

1. “If I have to shoot 200,000 students to save China from another 100 years of disorder, so be it.” – Lee Kuan Yew endorsing the Tiananmen massacre, Straits Times, 17 August 2004

2. “If you are a troublemaker… it’s our job to politically destroy you. Put it this way. As long as JB Jeyaratnam for what he stands for – a thoroughly destructive force – we will knock him. Everybody knows that in my bag I have a hatchet, and a very sharp one. You take me on, I take my hatchet, we meet in the cul-de-sac.” – Lee Kuan Yew, The Man And His Ideas, 1997

3. “I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn’t be here today. And I say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn’t be here, we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters – who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide what is right. Never mind what the people think.” – Lee Kuan Yew, Straits Times, 20 April 1987

4. “I make no apologies that the PAP is the Government and the Government is the PAP.” – Lee Kuan Yew, 1982, Petir

5. “If I were in authority in Singapore indefinitely without having to ask those who are governed whether they like what is being done, then I would not have the slightest doubt that I could govern much more effectively in their interests.” – Lee Kuan Yew, 1962

6. “Repression, Sir is a habit that grows. I am told it is like making love – it is always easier the second time! The first time there may be pangs of conscience, a sense of guilt. But once embarked on this course with constant repetition you get more and more brazen in the attack. All you have to do is to dissolve organizations and societies and banish and detain the key political workers in these societies. Then miraculously everything is tranquil on the surface. Then an intimidated press and the government-controlled radio together can regularly sing your praises, and slowly and steadily the people are made to forget the evil things that have already been done, or if these things are referred to again they’re conveniently distorted and distorted with impunity, because there will be no opposition to contradict.” – Lee Kuan Yew as an opposition PAP member speaking to David Marshall, Singapore Legislative Assembly, Debates, 4 October 1956

7. “I pointed to an article with bold headlines reporting that the police had refused to allow the PAP to hold a rally at Empress Place, and then to the last paragraph where in small type it added the meeting would take place where we were now. I compared this with a prominent report about an SPA rally. This was flagrant bias.” – Lee Kuan Yew complaining about the Straits Times in 1959.”

A talented and successful foreigner in not only financially but morals, ethics and humility said to me… “Singapore success Lee Kuan Yew… and one day Singapore failure WHAT?” with this emphasist! I ask what he meant and he just repeated it As A RESPECTFUL FOREIGNER with to a Singaporean! and beckon me to say it for him! You know the anawers to this “riddle” as well as I do by a true FT who does NOT want to be even a PR here.

WE NEED TO CHANGE AND URGENTLY SO.

a. Obviously, they cannot possibly understand the new issues facing the young population – e.g. why birth rates are falling

b. During brain storming sessions – the Old Guards will say things which they mean as “comments”, but the younger managers will treat them as “policies” and the outcome will be distorted.

Our Social Issues – should be handled by the new ministers and their teams – not to be meddled by some of the older ministers.

As far as I am concerned, GCT and LKY should not meddle in local policies anymore…despiste their vast experience and good intentions…there cannot be any good outcome.

You are absolutely right ! And why are there so many rabbits running around the whole of Singapore ? Because the wolves and the kangaroos have been throwing a lot of carrots everywhere.

It’s because Singaporeans are like this that’s why we’ve got a government that is like that.
