What I really think of LKY?

[po2wq]

I respect him for what he has done. But Singapore was only a fishing village in 1819 ...

where was ah u in 1819? ...

time had stood stil @ sinkielan until ah u took over! ...

 

[Poomer]

Was SINgapore a fishing villiage in 1819? were you around??? NANTAH was built with the contribution from the blood Sweat & tears of many the Chinese working class...my parents generation are very angry that it was closed down, they can never forgive that act..what do you know about Naval Base after the British withdrew from Suez canal??..It is the people who worked hard to build this city into a Nation..not just only a leader...

I think thats my point. Singaporeans played a part too, and Singapore wasnt it the dumps as they claimed.

i think he is a hypocrite. "jiak aneh lao liao, still let his cronies hai lang"

He was humble when Singapore was poor but turned greedy when we became a developing country. Eventually he was corrupted by power after controlling msm, court and passing many unconstitutional bills to favour his own party. Today, he became insane with his family wealth by putting his son as PM and his daugher in law as chairman of Temasek and him sitting in GIC. Singaporeans have never been so screwed by the fakeness of one man and his family.

SINgapore was in the dumps, the future was bleak, when the British withdrew from here, Malaysia could never be our hinterland anymore, Indonesia , Philippines were a threat, then there was the 'domino' principle of the communist SEA states...My point is LKY played a part in this, but he wasn't the only one should be taking the entire glory..with the hard working, willing people of SINgapore, through their Blood, Sweat & Tears Efforts, we made it..or we would still be a 21st Century, fishing villages & farms & urban slums..with sporadic development...

It wasn't the effort of ONE man...but many, that is my point..we built this city & country!!:p LKY is great is due to his people..

A brilliant individual, a visionary and gifted with superior logic. With these attributes he more than anyone shaped the country and its people. He controlled the space and the people who wanted to play in that space. He set the rules and changed it when it suited him. He did not see or accept boundaries but expected it of others. With that superior logic, he cajoled, argued, influenced and persuaded people in and out of the country to see his way. And most did. Where they did not, they paid a heavy price. In time he could not distinguish the country from himself and himself from the country. He genuinely thought they were one and the same. And the people mattered little if any.

In all these, one thing he never forgot and it remains to this day his most prominent characteristic - looking after his family. For a man who waged a war on corruption and made it a Singapore trait he chose to be blind to nepotism, frequently couching it as meritocracy and exacting a toll on others who disputed him. He did not understand or cared that his family were given roles and accesses beyond their right and their capability. He saw no wrong and his superior logic which was used to convince others was used by him to convince himself that he was right.

Despite his contribution to the nation that we grudgingly admit, his legacy will be one based on fear and intimidation, circumventing the spirit of the law, making a mockery of democracy and abusing the word "meritocracy". He spent the first 25 years building a nation and the next 25 years seeing it fall apart in spirit and as a nation. It will continue as an economy and it will continue to be model of efficiency and innovative public policy management but not as nation but as SIngapore Inc. The best road, the best sewerage systems, the most efficient land use, the best gardens, first rate medical expertise, high hygiene, the world best airport, the largest seaport and many more but it is a personal and family journey as he has asked the rest of us to get off a long time ago.

The best way to screw the people...that is what we will remember him by.

You share the same delusion, manipulative kaypohchee.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

A coward who got corrupted by power....

 

[Lee5604]

I think he's one of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen.

Without him, Singapore would still be a fishing village.

And Boss Sam will be fishing for shrimps to make belacan.

Not chin char lok?

 

[steffychun]

At his age, he's no longer interested in women..

You should talk to him about Death and Hell..

He was interesting in criticising that NUS PhD student for taking a PhD and not having sex.

 

[chilakak]

Another idiot with the fishing village myth!

If Singapore was still a fishing village when the PAP came to power, then you must be a neanderthal!

Smear of shit on sole of shoe also think that without him the sun will not rise in the East.
Rains will not fall and flowers will not open.

That sinkies must remain head down down down with their kids and parents and grandparents with arseholes up high high to be

Clearly, the most hated person in Singapore. No debate.

Whatever else you have wrote in the past, this perhaps is the most concise and accurate account of this foolish wasted life. Thank you.

Exceptional man.......
Devised and still running the biggest PONZI in the world......Madoff can suck thumb one corner.
Enrich himself while in office, possibly the richest man in Asia and beyond.....marcos, suharto eat your hearts out.
Train and control few million peasants machiam his loyal pets.........North Korean leader can learn a thing or two from him.
The only true absolute monarchy in the world........Sultan of brunei also must take backseat.
