Re: PMO to lodge police report over fake statement on Mr Lee Kuan Yew

This just shows how fucked up our government is running this country.

Epic failure in public relation and media communication.

A simple update on PMO website and other government related websites could easily quench all this falsehood and clarify the issue.

What happen is at the most crucial time, PMO website is down for maintenance the instance the doctored image went viral last night.
PMO website hasn't been up last time I check before posting.

Even old fart's birthday celebration photo posted by Heng Swee Kiat has to blackout the background.

HengSweeKeat19092014e.jpg


What are they ashamed of?
Is there something they want to hide?

Just like some netizen say, "During GE, when poll result of a ward is delayed, you know PAP has lost it. Likewise, you know he's gone."

There is more to this than bad communication and PR. The fact of the matter is that both the media and the govt has lost credibility.
LKY was hospitalised for two weeks before it was announced in the media.
LHL announced on a Friday that he was going in for some cancer operation on a Friday, while LKY was on mechanical support.
LHL's operation successful - shows him in hawker centre etc.
Then LKY's hospitalisation was announced.
There is extreme insecurity in the govt - that SG cannot afford to have two members of the founding family in hospital.
What does it tell you about the rest of the invisible cabinet?
Notice the minimal 'get well' wishes from individual members of the cabinet, even if perfunctory?

for the sake of history, we shouldn't distort it for the political agenda. Raffles founded the island of Singapore. LKY is the father of the Republic of Singapore. like it or not, they are the indisputable facts.

Re: PMO to lodge police report over fake statement on Mr Lee Kuan Yew

thought it is strange that the international news agencies reported the death based on no official or local media source, their reporters didn't verity the information and fully believed that picture ?, the PMO website was down then, they should have double-checked the information with Channel NewsAsia. this erroneous death report is so absurd.

Even foreign news media, do not believe in our news media, that is the proof right!. CNA etc, supposedly to be our official Singapore news bureau but they believe the spoof..show, how much the outside world perception of our news media.

They (MIW) think they can sue & control every person on this planet earth...

Sir Stamford Raffles played a significant part in Singapore's history but what he did was set up a trading post on the Island. Singapore had the same status as Malacca and Penang. They were not independent nations. In 1826, they became crown colonies of GB.

There's an excellent time-line summary at http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-15971013

You'll see that LKY was the one who made it all happen. That's why I respect the great man and I'm forever grateful for what he did to change my life for the better.

Without him I'd still be shitting in a bucket shared by 50 other families.


as what you say, significant part started by raffles.. that is referred to as founding father.. that is what founding father means..

Lee Kuan yew is not a founding father.. he is an opportunist who sized the right time to put himself into power and benefit his family. At the same time, controlled the media to brainwash the population to think he is the founding father.. It is all about himself.

A real founding father is not about himself, it is about starting up the bare land for growth.

Father means when your dad STARTED his sperm into your mother's egg..that is what father means..father = start.

Started the sperm is very subjective, have you checked? did your father started the sperm??? ha ha ha ha, we often hear....the phrase " you look like your neighbour"... ha ha ha ha

Lets not waste time arguing over this, LKY & his team in 1965 lead the people of Singapore to become an Independent Nation & the people of Singapore worked together with them to turn this Nation, from fishing villages, villages, swamp s, urban swamps into what, we now know as SINGAPORE.

Never mind..who is founding this, founding that...

Bucket full of crocodile tears....

I lost count how many Singaporeans claiming they will pray hard for Mr Lee, probably just a little bit less hard than the prayer to win the top prize in Toto. At least till he can take part in the SG50 jubilee party, they said. If anyone deserve to enjoy or witness the celebrations of our 50th year of independence, it's Mr Lee Kuan Yew, they said.

No wonder Halimah Yaacob pleaded with Singaporeans not to leave the country during SG50. That probably include the netherworld. Insider news, ha! Little did she know there are a sizable horde of Singaporeans wishing for an extra public holiday on the 11th or better yet, a permanent public holiday strategically placed on the 8th or 10th. I reckon 8th is a better date than 10th, so that Singaporeans can mourn before we celebrate National Day every year. We can call it Thanksgiving to make it sound chic.

Believe it or not, I've heard this since I was a teenager. I personally found it distasteful. To wish for the death of somebody for a cheap public holiday? Most of the time it was brushed away as a joke until recently. I will not be surprised to see a wish turning into a request or even a demand. Many decades of mock yearning can turn into a real desire, you know.

It will be interesting to know the exact words used in the prayers of the fervent prayers of recovery. O God, please rid him of illness? And? Live a ripe long life? He already lived it. Besides, how well can a man recover after weeks of coma at an age of 91? If he lives on, it'll be on much harder terms for sure. One couldn't keep wondering if the folks who have been "keeping him in their prayers" secretly hope to witness his prolong suffering. If not, what else? In hope for Mr Lee Kuan Yew to continue contributing his services to Singapore?

Alright, it doesn't seem socially acceptable to wish your colleague a quick clean death. Diplomatic and logic doesn't go well in the same sentence. Perhaps "shut up" is a wiser move than shedding crocodile tears. Or if you have to pray, let me tell you a simple hard truth. The only meaningful prayer to Lee Kuan Yew now is for him to get his death wish - which is never to be put on a life support. For a man who is powerful enough to get almost whatever he wishes for, this cannot be more ironic.

Get real. Let the man go already.

Everybody makes mistakes, including Mr Lee. That is why there are still some people dislike him. But nobody can deny his passion and vision to wanting to see Singapore becoming a prosperous and a successful nation. And for having given his life for this, my respect and salute to you Sir!

Raffles founded a trading post not a country.

LKY founded the nation of Singapore and under his able leadership, it has become one of the greatest cities on earth.

Raffles founded the country through trading....no?

MNCs have their own media department to deal with the press, be local or foreign.

While reporters might get their source from elsewhere, the statements from the MNCs' media department would be recognise as the official stand.

Surely, the same SOP would be applied in this instance. So, what went wrong?
