These people really have no respect for our founding father!

I'll quibble on the point that the founding father of modern Singapore is Sir T. S. Raffles.

He would have saved himself a bit when he retires with the batch of old guards in 88.

Is it a requirement for every citizen to have respect for this man? Can't one have his/her own opinion?

Cheers!

1299, modern meh? Ok lah, shipping routes pretty established lah. Can lah, can lah. But Raffles' legacies presented us the Ang Moh Tua Kee syndrome mah, where got AMTK in Sang Nila Utama's time? They only got Singa Tua Kee.

No choice lah. He had to protect his son against the buayas who were after the job.
He needed to son to protect his legacy.
He tried to ditch Wooden Goh too but Wooden Goh was at least smart enough to make him sign a joint press statement that both of them were stepping down together at the same time. The others previously got played out when he told them he wanted to renewal, persuaded them not to stay on, and then HE stayed on.

I rate Lee Kuan Yew to be nearly as good as Lim Yew Hock as a Singapore leader.

But Lim Yew Hock were clearly superior in this - that brought international fame on the greatness of the Chinese cock when he eloped with the Aussie stripper, while LKY was mainly asexual.
