Thanks for digging it up. Looks like an innocuous edit and nothing sinister.
You said something Ho Ching a d Temasek? :p
Only 18.8% of Singaporeans are atheists. The remaining 81.2% profess a religion. A referendum will see a good majority agreeing that the wishes of the dead should be carried out as respect for the deceased, and for fear of LKY's wandering and anguished soul - never mind that he is agnostic - which cannot rest in peace because of first born's nonsense. Or that he will be stuck in a dukkha cycle, unable to reach nirvana notwithstanding he is not a Buddhist.
Unlike LHL's Facebook warriors flooding his FB with ball sucking comments, those Ah Peks and Ah Sohs, Pak Ciks and Mak Ciks , Mamas and Achis and the silent religious majority, have not had their voices heard.
First born knows this and for this reason, he won't hold a referendum as he knows he will lose. Plus it is really not the business of the public to decide in a vote as to whether the will of a deceased should be honoured.
First born miscalculated badly and thoroughly fucked up on this. He thought he could milk his father's legacy and at the same time, bully his siblings into silence and from speaking out publicly.
Agree with you on both counts. The comments are indeed disturbing. Nothing intelligent nor do they make anything constructive. I was shocked even expats joining in.
Alex Au brought up a point which I had found strange also.
Isn't lifting the whip meant for voting only, as in members of a party can vote on their own volition instead of following the party line?
What has lifting the whip got to do with asking the PM questions? Unless he means the questions dont have to be vetted or submitted?
Doesnt make sense to me...

It arouses suspicion that there must be something inside or underneath the house that only LHL knows of while his other siblings are unaware of that the idea of demolition is absolutely repulsive to LHL.

There is ray of hope, a sensible post on LHY's FB
ML Tan Indeed this is troubling and justify the setting up of independent Commission of Inquiry in the interest of transparency. I couldn't understand why previous Attorney-General VK Rajah retired in Jan 2017 at age 60 and (A) refused to serve, say, for 3 more years to give time to his successor(s) to be more ready for takeover, (B) was not offered an extension of retirement on 3-year contract (as was offered to his older successor, Lucien Wong, at age 63) or (C) could not be persuaded to stay on for a mere 3 years. As President Tan holds the second key (so to speak) over key appointments of top civil servants, a COI would allow these no-brainer questions to be answered.
It doesn't sit comfortably (even though nothing may be amiss) for the ex-boss of the Law Minister in the law firm to now be the subordinate reporting to the Law Minister as a civil servant. We are human after all. Therefore, having too close a relationship built up over many years is not healthy (and increases the risks that could potentially affect good governance) when one is a civil servant and the other is a political office holder. It is just common sense, isn't it?

Thank you for the info.
The circumstances pertaining to the retirement of the 60 year old Attorney General and the appointment of a 63 year old Attorney General is very strange.
Based on the little that I know, hear and see, very few lawyers in their prime, retire at the age of 60, unless there are very compelling reasons.
For a logical, reasonable and smart individual to claim that since he or she is not in practice and has no clients, he has no conflict of interest, is absurd.
An apparent or actual conflict of interest can arise, whether or not there is any solicitor / client relationship or any professional / client relationship.
With respect, I believe that those situations as they existed or exist, show an apparent conflict of interest, and should have been avoided:
1. appointment of a lawyer who has acted as the solicitor for the Prime Minister in his personal and/or family matters;
2. appointment of a Deputy Attorney General, who was a former MP, and a former member of the PAP; and
3. appointment of a lawyer who worked with the current Minister of Law, for an extended period of time.
Singaporeans are finished. Looking at LSL Facebook comments, I see so many sick human beings. But that is the hard truth. Most people just look after themselves. I see so many people complaining and worrying about their cpf money. I would want to say, fret not, because the government can always print money to cover the losses if any. My greatest worry is when the typical Singaporeans' property price increased twice in value. Then they realised one plate of chicken rice costs $20 in coffee shop. Inflation is the key word. We will be doomed if this day arrives. Singapore does not have natural resources. Our economy depends on how the international community sees us and that will affect foreign investments. Strength of SGD is extremely important. We cannot be an export economy like Japan Then when demand and supply stabilizes, they will realize their prized HDB flats are worth peanuts. Singapore needs the local entrepreneurs to be creative and lots of foreign investments. Therefore the integrity of our leaders is extremely important. Transparency is important. For Checks and balance, a first world country really needs at least 2 equally strong parties. America has Democrats and Reblican. UK has liberals and Conservative. Singapore needs Workers Party to spearhead . Migrating is an option for me. I am just worried about my immediate families in Singapore
