However, GTC changed the attitude and approach. To gain popularity, he promoted asset enhancement, trading in share, ... He was lucky as the world economy was booming and during his era, I would agree with you that any party will be able to create the same progress. Things starts to go wrong. People are encouraged to work smart not hard, to break it if it ain't broken, and all kinds of warped ideas which eventually raised a generation of young who do not believe in hard work or know how to do house works. It continues and that is how we have reached the present state.
Therefore, I think what you have mentioned is application to the 2nd generation leaders onwards. The pioneer leaders of pap do deserve credits.
Imo, pap does deserve credit in the early 90's for leading Sg in the right direction. Pap did pay a price when it made English the official medium for education. It was not a natural progression. The old team consciously decided on it. Again people being lazy, if left on their own is not likely to move out of their comfort zone. Progress will not be that fast. GKS liked to recall how he actually just went about cutting ribbons with the sole aim to promote industrialization. If left on our own, we can't designate and change Jurong into an industrial zone that speedily and shift the airport to changi. These are not by chance. Someone did make some good decisions then.

These people are so goddamn arrogant.
You don't even know what's going to happen tomorrow, nevertheless still project and extrapolate 20 years, 50 years into the future, plan this and that.
This is arrogance: a smugness and belief that they can control and influence everything under the sun.

That seems to be according to what the press highlights, I do not know nor care about the internal politics/workings of the parties, but just leave it to the residents of the ward to decide whether their lives under the WP/PAP is justified for that party to represent them in parliament. Politics isn't a fair nor just game, its always make oneself look good and your opponent look bad. To me, they're all bad.
Cheers!

It is your prerogative who you wish to give credit to, but the way I see it was that the ruling party merely took the baton from the Brits and carried on running. Sg was already developing extremely fast and it wasn't plagued by social, political nor natural catastr0phes like some of her neighbours, so whoever ran Sg, had a simple job. The real reward should be given to the working class ordinary local citizens who made sacrifices amid and uncertain future. If you give recognition to a few elite politicians, you are failing to recognise the hundreds, if not thousands of workers, engineers, architects, businessmen who contributed to nation building. Overall, the citizens of the nation state are an obedient lot who sacrificed personal gratification for the sake of the community/nation, and the mass effort of these people together build Singapore, but no mention of this was officially made. So todate we have songs sung about the accomplishments of the city-state, and the credit goes to a select few. Its happened so often that it has become the norm for government-endorsed/acknowledged policies to get accepted and recognised, anything done or suggested by anyone/group outside of this elite clique goes unnoticed. Not a very healthy sign for society. Maybe this could be the reason why Singapore will lose her place among the world's top global cities as suggested in the title to this thread.

How can Spore be at the top when it is run by an overpaid famiLee
Think about it. Their decisions are motivated by selfish self interests & not for the benefit of the whole nation. What is good for the famiLee means that there is less of the pie for the "lesser mortals"
