Tan wah-piow: Lee kuan yew's death will set the people free
Waiting for Francis T Seow's statement.
http://therealsingapore.com/content/tan-wah-piow-lee-kuan-yews-death-will-set-people-free
Exile in London, Tan Wah Piow's Statement:
Lee Kuan Yew’s death will set the people free
In life, Lee Kuan Yew's sole concern was to be feared by his countrymen. He was so spectacularly successful in this pursuit that by the time of his death, he was left with no cohorts: only minions.
He will be remembered as an accomplished dictator who maintained a veneer of democracy and the grand illusion of the rule of law to his very last breath. Such was his achievement that dictators elsewhere viewed his system of control with envy.
But this “Singapore Model” is made possible only because of the particularity of Singapore: a strategically placed island city state, with unique geographical attributes such as a natural port, blessed with a diligent and industrious population, surrounded by resource rich countries. It is not a model which can be easily replicated elsewhere, nor should it be.
Another undoubted accomplishment of the man was his ability to propagate the myth that he alone was the founding father of Singapore. That myth may soon unravel with his passing.
For someone who would rather be feared than loved, his dear family members and minions who now mourn his passing should not take exception if his death is celebrated as a great historic event which will eventually set the people free.
The death of Lee Kuan Yew will certainly unlock the inhibitions and liberate the people from fear. Fear of political persecution crippled the citizens and residents in Singapore like no other country in the developed world to the extent that even the very rich, the very clever, and those in high political office shy away from expressing dissent.
With his death, the truth about the man will emerge. Luckily the deceased can no longer wield the stick of libel law to gag his critics, as he was so quick to do in life.
Those in his ruling People’s Action Party who enjoyed his patronage during the past fifty years may soon also have to mourn the eventual passing of the cosy politics of one party dominance. Political life will no longer be as tranquil for this political class as it was before.
Tan Wah Piow
Exile in London
23 March 2015.
Tan Wah Piow is a political exile in London. In 1987, he was accused by the Singapore government of being the mastermind behind the Marxist Conspiracy and he was told to return to Singapore from London where he was studying. When he refused because he was facing detention without trial, the government revoked his citizenship.

Hang all those PAP bastards from piano wires, upside down or right way up.
Hang those PAP maggots cockroaches with piano wires from lamp posts to make them dance before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.
BBQ those PAP maggots cockroaches before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.
Cut a few more arseholes into those PAP maggots cockroaches to let out their shit before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.
Make those PAP maggots cockroaches eat joss sticks and candle wax before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.
PAP is finished.
The stinking glue and terror that hold PAP together is that old fart smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY.
LKY will never allow good decent people into the PAP and good decent people will not want to get into the PAP. Those in PAP are the most corrupt and moral degenerates and moral bankrupts and moral filths that are being presented to stinkaporeans as moral compasses.
None of those in PAP work for anyone but that smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY, to help him hold down Singaporeans to screw and fuck hundreds of BILLIONs from us all into smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY stinkapore sovereign funds.
Maggots and cockroaches are appointed as ministers in parliament
Kangaroos are frolicking in High Court instead of being allowed to wander and roam about in the Zoo
They are there in PAP because LKY know that they are a bunch of self serving greedy bastards and scrapings of scums of society. To call them maggots cockroaches will be to insult real maggots and real cockroaches.
WE ALL WILL YUM SENG AND YUM SENG AND YUM SENG AGAIN AND AGAIN DANCING SINGING ON TABLE TOPS AND STREETS
WE THEN WILL SEE THOSE IN PAP WITH SHARPENED KNIVES HOOTING ARSEHLOON A DOZEN NEW ARSEHOLES AND THE DEATH OF THE ENTIRE LEE KWA CLAN
WE THEN WILL PICK UP PIANO WIRES AND HANG ALL THOSE REMAINING PAP AND THEIR COLLABORATORS FROM LAMP POSTS AND SEE THOSE BASTARDS AND BITCHES DANCE.
AND HAPPINESS WILL RETURN TO OUR LAND.
AND STINKAPORE WILL BECOME SINGAPORE ONCE MORE.

is it possible to revoke a citizenship without the person's consent? citizenship is a right and nobody can take that away unless that person say so. Most likely, his passport expired and he live in exile in london and probably took Uk citizenship, which autmatically cancels his sinkie one.

there are grounds for revocation without person's consent. it's a privilege, not a right.

Re: Post LKY Games begin
U think too much, past few yrs lky already played minimal role in politics. U think he could interfere with his mouth hung open and sat on wheelchair? If neighbours chose to give trouble don't have to wait for old bastard to die. U, like others who waited for old bastard to die for drastic changes, are simply too naive.

New direction for Singapore
Current Singapore was shaped largely by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, not just physically, but mentally too. Although there are voices of dissent, I'd say a large number support his policies, and his party. Now that this era is over, is there going to be a change in sentiment? Below article from Japanese newspaper seems to suggest so. The youth do not share the same experiences as their predecessors and the ruling party cannot depend on their "loyalty" to win the next election. I think change is in the air.
Cheers!

Singapore pursues a more democratic growth model
WATARU YOSHIDA, Nikkei staff writer
SINGAPORE -- Singapore saw the end of an era with the death of its founding father, Lee Kuan Yew. The city-state now seeks a new balance between prosperity and change in order to usher in the next wave of economic growth.
A former teacher recalled how his country had changed since its 1965 independence, when he was a teen. The 67-year-old lost his father while he was an infant, and his mother worked at a chicken farm to raise him and his two siblings. He took night classes and earned a college degree. He now lives in a large house and travels abroad.
"Without Mr. Lee, I never would have had this life," he said.
But not everybody is pleased with the government's heavy-handed policies. About 2,000 youths flocked to a park in the city center last June to protest how the public pension fund was being run. Some even demanded that Lee Hsien Loong, Lee Kuan Yew's son and the current prime minister, step down. Such rallies are rare in Singapore, which strongly restricts criticism of the government.
The gratitude and resentment both are products of Lee Kuan Yew's so-called developmental dictatorship, and they reflect the complex reality Singaporeans face today.
Lee believed order, not democracy, was the key to economic development. Singapore is referred to ironically as the "Fine City." Drinking in public places will be banned effective April 1, and offenders can be fined up to 2,000 Singapore dollars ($1,462). There are fines for selling gum and eating on the subway as well.
Lee's brand of government, where one party dominated for half a century, worked only because it made Singaporeans richer. But the city-state has become wealthy and no longer can expect the exponential growth it enjoyed in the past. The public is shifting focus to political change.
A government survey from 2013 found that 44% of respondents ages 15-19 valued freedom of expression more than preventing social tensions, while only 37% chose the reverse.
Lee once complained that the younger generations were growing overconfident. A deep divide exists among older citizens who remember Singapore's successful growth under Lee and the youth for whom economic prosperity was a given.
Singapore must harness its people's initiative to enter the next stage of growth. The authoritarian government produced an army of consistent, productive workers, which supported the manufacturing sector. But it is Singapore's expertise in finance, services and other specialized sectors that Southeast Asia needs today, especially with plans to launch a regional economic community by the end of the year. These sectors need creative people in order to expand.
Lee Hsien Loong already is making some changes. Welfare spending, such as medical assistance for the elderly, made up a heavy chunk of Singapore's fiscal 2015 budget proposal. High-income households will face higher taxes. Rather than focusing completely on national growth and leaving individuals to fend for themselves, Singapore has begun shifting toward redistribution of wealth.
The idea is to scrap the system where elites hold all decision-making power and instead have a much wider range of people contribute to Singapore's success.
Singapore could hold general elections before the end of the year. The People's Action Party won just 60% of the vote in 2011, a record low for the ruling party. It has not fared much better since. The next elections could reveal what Singaporeans see in their future.
