LKY is a true opportunist. He used people like toilet paper. He exploited situations, climbed on the backs of comrades to get up, and then betrayed them by begging the Tunku and the Brits to use the ISC to defeat his rival LCS in the PAP. Yes, without LYH, Tunku, and LCS, he would have been a nobody.

Tun Lim Yew Hock only sold X'mas Island and he died a pauper while the present bunch have sold S'pore by opening the floodgate to foreign trash and I bet they all will die very wealthy.

saying it was Lim Yew Hock & not LKY who paved the way for Singapore's independence is like saying it was Zhang Zhidong & not Sun Zhongshan who paved the way for Republican China. there were naturally many people's actions and key events that shaped Singapore's eventual independence and LKY was one of the participants in the episode.

How about giving credits to the people, who gave their life , their soul & their hard work, with their hands who built this nation from 1959?? not just ONE PERSON, not just ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE...especially the nauseating part is, IT IS A ONE PERSON WORK.

Lim Yew Hock (Chinese: 林有福; pinyin: Lín Yǒufú; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lîm Iú-hok; 15 October 1914 - 30 November 1984), later renamed Haji Omar Lim Yew Hock, was Singapore's second Chief Minister from 1956 to 1959. He is known for suppressing the communist movements and leading the all-party delegation that won internal self-government for Singapore.[1]
In 1956, the first Chief Minister David Marshall resigned after failing to gain full independence from British rule. Lim, then Minister for Labour and Welfare, became the Chief Minister and headed a new coalition government. He began to suppress the anti-colonial activists and communists. He banished two Chung Cheng High School teachers and dissolved the Chinese Middle School Students' Union.
When the Chinese Middle School riots broke out in October 1956, Lim decided to take aggressive steps to stop the violence. With the support of the British Governor and Commissioner of Police, troops with tear gas and helicopters were brought in to end the riots. Many key pro-communist union leaders in the People's Action Party (PAP), including Lim Chin Siong, were detained under the Public Security Act.
The other reason for his political downfall was that Christmas Island, administered by Singapore at that time, was transferred to Australia in 1957, and that incident made Lim Yew Hock unpopular.

In 1964, Lim was appointed Malaysian High Commissioner to Australia, based in Canberra. In June 1966, he went missing from Canberra. A massive police search was unsuccessful in locating him. His wife and daughters went on national television to plead for his safe return, and the Malysian Prime Minister at the time, Tunku Abdul Rahman, made a personal appeal from Kuala Lumpur and sent Malaysia's chief of protocol, Enche Abdul Rahman Jallal, to Sydney to help in the search.
It was discovered that Lim had flown from Canberra to Sydney under the name "Hawk". It was also revealed that he had an ongoing association with a 19-year-old Kings Cross stripper, Sandra Nelson. Initially, she too could not be located, but later said she had no idea where Lim had been. Then, just as mysteriously as he had disappeared, Lim turned up after being missing for ten days. A passing stranger had discovered him ill, wandering on a Sydney street, and took him in. Apparently the stranger was not aware of Lim’s identity for nine days, and had not even made the connection from the nationwide media coverage of his disappearance. The stranger drove him to Canberra to return him to the High Commission. The stranger’s identity was never revealed.

In later years Lim became a Muslim and adopted the name of Haji Omar Lim Yew Hock. He died in Saudi Arabia on 30 November 1984 and was buried in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

those Xmas island crab cannot eat lah,,if can, the aussies already catch them and export them oreadi.

The Aussies buying Xmas Island has now came back and bite them in the rear end. With Xmas Island as Oz territory, heaps of boat people just go there and claim asylum. Now Oz have to deal with these people. The best is back to spore for 500 Million,..and than the boat people have to go further. But of course spore can use it as a disembarkation point to Oz,,so ang mors really fucked themselves with this purchase.
