If you were to think deeper, LKY practised nepotism, cronyism, legalised corruption, despotism and kangarooism in his entire life.
In his vocab.... the word nepotism does not exist.
The one thing that you can fault him is that his grip of power also do damage to our young Nation...
The power he has to put his son up as Prime Minister so that he can control and lead Singapore on behind the curtains from 1990 to 2011
He chose Ho Ching to overlook our huge investment, knowing fully well she is not the best person for the job so that he can have a good night sleep.
Look, the whole wide world, do you only have an engineer to do finance and investment.?? There are no better candidate..???
And also. President Tony Tan ... Tony is his choice and the last Presidential election saw two un-derserving candidates who do not meet the criteria came in to dilute Tan Cheng Bock votes.
( Tan Kin Lian is CEO of NTUC, the monies belongs to policy-holders and not the paid up capital of a company.
Tan Jee Say is Regional Director of an Investment firm. The monies belong to the depositors who placed funds to be invested and not the $100 million paid up capital required of a company.)
With the powerful combination of Father and Son, this turns many good men away. The good people who can really fulfill their duties to the Nation in the most upright manner.
This great man LKY wants things to be done his way, the way he thinks best. And there no two ways about it.
