Excellent response to PM Lee’s NDR 2010 speech. MUST READ!

LKY is not even worthy of hero status. He just went around and destroy his opponents' lives and careers to annihilate any opposition to his regime. If I have to take a MIW worthy of hero status, it has to be Goh Keng Swee.

GKS was corporal in Commonwealth volunteer forces fighting Japanese when LKY volunteered to be Japanese translator. When LKY later made GKS minister of defence, an incredulous world record multiple promotion in rank was also awarded, from corporal to colonel. Adolf Hitler was also only a corporal when he took power. He couldn't be bothered. As Chancellor he usually wore blank rank uniform as if a private in number one.

Your post sums up who pretty much is the true patriot among the two. Too bad, he is not that eager to claim credit for his good deeds. Reminds me of a recluse.

Just look at LHL's pro FT poilcy, one has to wonder how much of it is actually LKY's working behind the scenes

Some of you may have heard that you can't change a leopardss spot, once a traitor always a traitor. LKY is an oppurtunist & now that many old Sporeans citizens are old & used up, they are being replaced

I stand corrected. Acc to Wikipaedia, when Lim Bo Seng died under torture in 1944 at 35, our fren was working for the kempetai from 1943-44 and he was only 21. So it is possible that he caused his death.

However, when LBS was born in 1909, he was still swimming in his father's balls!@#$%

Are you sure ? When did our Star Translator join the Toyotas ?

In May 1943, Lim sent the first batch of Force 136 agents to Malaya to conduct the operation codenamed Gustavus. The operation aims to establish an espionage network in Malaya and Singapore to gather military intelligence about the Japanese forces to aid the British in planning their re-capture of the colonies from the Japanese, codenamed Operation Zipper. One of the Chinese provision shops in Ipoh, Jian Yik Jan, was used as an Allied espionage base. Communications between the agents were done by smuggling messages in empty toothpaste tubes, salted fish and diaries. Lim arrived in Malaya in November 1943 and used the alias Tan Choon Lim to avoid identification by the Japanese, claiming to be a businessman when he passed through checkpoints.

Operation Gustavus failed before the agents managed to achieve any results. An unknown communist guerrilla was captured by the Japanese in January 1944 and they revealed the existence of the Allied spy network operating on Pangkor Island. The Japanese launched a full-scale counter espionage operation on the island and by late March 1944, more than 200 Japanese soldiers had landed on Pangkor Island.

On March 24, the Japanese Kempeitai arrested a fisherman, Chua Koon Eng, at Teluk Murrek on the Perak coast. Chua was working on Pangkor Island when Li Han Kwang of Force 136 approached him and requested to use his boat for their communications. Chua told the Kempeitai what he knew when the Kempeitai threatened to kill civilians. Li was later captured by the Japanese and he confirmed Chua's accounts of Force 136 under torture and then began to feign cooperation with the Japanese in order to escape captivity.

If that's the case, he'd be most likely dead beheaded under the Samurai sword. In any case, he wouldn't have the guts to do that. His knuckleduster and hatchet were no match for Jap Samurai sword and rifle. As a matter of perspective, he'd call it brains instead of lack of guts.
