Tribute to LKY: So many queue for 10 hours just to see a coffin...

Indeed, over the last 6 days, including tonight the last day to pay the last respects, many braved the heat and stuffiness and tired legs to queue just to see the coffin at a distance.....

Only invited dignitaries are approved to climb the steps to view in closeness....If life mirrors death, what should be the general public's wake up call?

In death as in life, the social elitist divide is pretty obvious, isn't it?

Contrast this with the state funerals of Mao and Nelson Mendela......in life as in death, the closeness and accessibility is starkly obvious......there was no divide.

If all our forefathers had died in a jumbo jet crash, Singapore would dis-integrated.

And it only took a minute to finish walking around his coffin. Definitely worth it for he spent 30 years building the country for everyone.

If you like to walk round coffins, can go to Lavendar Street. Plenty.

Better still, why don't request he leave behind a tooth and then deified it in a museum, or temple or church or pyramid whatever.
then you can bow and prostrate to it as and when you wish to, for as many times as you wish, like pray to it 5 times daily.

That is why you should have quick burial like the Malay people. Save lots of people lots of time and agony. You should see lky when he was alive, not when he is dead. Saudi king buried quickly so not many foreign leaders got chance to even attend saving fuel and planet from unneccesary green house emmision.

Hardly anyone visited JBJ even though there isn't any queue. That tells us all that he went bankrupt for sinkies in vain. From a successful career in law to dying poor and broken in some dinky rented flat....
