Some say that it was LKY's wife who was the back hand behind the scenes. They speculated that while LKY pretends to be a strongman, he is henpecked by Kwa. LKY was said to be an upright person who tried to do the right thing (including preventing his sissy son from entering politics possibly because of a Monk's prediction that nothing good will come from it) but it was Kwa that worked around LKY. Even the biography hinted how Kwa meddle into politics for her family's economical benefit.
if not for his bornto connection, all things being equal, base on his intelligence & physical, he would not have gone far...a BG, nah!
he won liao lor! "It's a goal! A mighty goal! yaye!"
