...i know pple dun like the idea that he is lky's son and became the PM cos' of this reason. but if you see the whole picture, lhl has done well as a pm...anyway, i am glad that he is objective to select a 4th leader and ensure s'pore do survive in another few decades. the reason why i was unhappy is his greedy cronies are abusing their power.
i also admire lky as running a country full of dogs is really tough and he has to iron fist these pple.
boss sam is right, we should not have complained too much, i have a roof over my head and 2 meals a day and i should be contented.:o
Whether LHL is the son of LKY or a taxi driver is not the main point. LHL is judged on his own capability as the PM. As Deng Xiaoping once said:"It does not matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat; as long as it catches the mouse, it is a good cat." This sums up how LHL should be judged.
Sadly, LHL has upset sinkies with his implementation of certain policies. Sinkies can give him a list of such dumb policies. If he has done well, why do we hear swearing and cursing of LHL and the MIW in the public even from ah peks and ah sohs?
LKY had to be tough because he was dealing then with commy sympathisers and other leftists bent on taking over SG. China was not a buddy then unlike now. He had to iron fist them to secure his own position. It was a struggle for survival. The leftists perished and LKY got SG in his hands. Currently, LHL did not have to fight the commy or leftists. He just needs to steer SG in a calm sea but looking out for easy navigation, anticipating typhoons, no strong currents, no hidden rocks.
It is also uncertain whether many sinkies are still able to hold on to their jobs if FTsh are allowed in large numbers into SG. There was even a posting here about a Brit graphic designer taking up a job in SG. Is he really that good as a foreign talent? Why can't that job be given to a local? So, your three meals a day is not guaranteed if a FTsh is able to replace you at any time.
Think about it and let LHL knows about your fear for the future of SG.
