CSJ, its now time to haul Old Goat into court and sue his ass for libel, He has obviously disparaged your reputation by calling you a "DUD". If you are working in Sweden, I suggest u sue him there. Or better still, sue him in the UK as the interview is given in the Sunday Times. For sure to win. Money in the bank.
Lee says Singapore needs strong defence to exist
Jan 15, 2011, 4:44 GMT
Singapore - Singapore founder Lee Kuan Yew justified the city-state's defence spending as necessary to resist any possible pressure from its larger neighbours.
'Without a strong defence, there will be no Singapore,' Lee said in an interview published by the Sunday Times newspaper. 'It will become a satellite, cowed and intimidated by its neighbours.'
Instead now, its a satellite cowed and intimidated by the Familee and the PAP. Whatis the difference?
Lee, 87, now serves as a minister mentor in the cabinet of his son, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, and still is a powerful figure.
'If we do not have this strong SAF (Singapore Armed Forces), we are vulnerable to all kinds of pressures from both Malaysia and Indonesia,' he said.
Old Goat is really turning into a senile old fart. Since when has spending all the money on fancy equipment and technology equate to a strong SAF? Looking at the attitude of NSmen and the general losers in the SAF, I don't see it as being strong at all. Fighting spirit is much more importance as evidenced by the Vietnam war whereby a poor third world country can defeat the well equiped and financed western army
Since Singapore gained independence in 1965 after being kicked out the Malayan Federation, relations to its neighbours have been strained again and again over issues like, for example, the supply of water or sand.
At least the Sunday times got it right and said Singapore was kicked out. As opposed to the PAP party line that said S'pore left on its own accord. The issues of water and sand are strained by S'pore, not their neighbours. S'pore needs to stop stealing sand, it does not belong to them and if they don't want to sell it to you, there is nothing that they can do about it, same for water.
The outspoken Lee rebuffed a journalist's question suggesting that the island state was not as vulnerable as he claimed.
'We are not vulnerable? They can besiege you. You'll be dead,' he said, adding that Singapore's business would come to halt if its neighbours cut the sea lanes.
Besieged simi lancheow? Old goat has turned into a military strategist now? So easy to besieged meh? Singapore is a free port and does not own any "shipping lanes". These lanes are in international waters used by all nations of the world and any attempt to cut them will result in a international conflict with the major maritime powers. Given the state of the neighbours' military, they are hardly in a condition to cut any sea lanes and have never indicated any desire to do so. He has just confirmed to this reporter that he is a paranoid schizo.
'If we are not vulnerable, why do we spend 5 to 6 per cent of GDP (gross domestic product) year after year on defence,' he said. 'Are we mad? This is a frugal government.'
Frugal govt. my lumpar. Do frugal govts pay their civil servants and politicians million $ salaries? Do frugal govts. lose their citizens $billions in bad investments? etc.
Singapore, which has one of Asia's best-equipped militaries and ranks high internationally in defence spending, allocated 11.46 billion Singapore dollars (8.9 billion US dollars) in 2010, according to last year's budget.
Having been criticized as an authoritarian leader intolerant of dissent, Lee said the Singapore government was not preventing political competition.
'What we are preventing is duds getting into parliament and government. Any person of quality, we welcome him, but we don't want duds,' he said.
There are many duds already in parliament. Is Andrew Kuan, former JTC CFO a dud?
'We don't want Chee Soon Juan and JB Jeyaretnam,' Lee said, disgrading two prominent opposition politicians.
Both Chee and the late Jeyaretnam, who was the first opposition party candidate to be elected into Singapore's parliament, have repeatedly been sued by the city-state's leaders for defamation and other supposed offences, hindering their political activities.
Lee's People's Action Party has ruled Singapore ever since 1965 with opposition parties currently holding two of 84 seats in parliament.
The interview was part of a book set to be released next week.
Chee quickly sue this asshole before he dies. maybe teh strain of a lawsuit in a London court will hasten his death. U wull be doing all of singapore a Great favour, and u will be forever immortalised as a true patriot.
