Chairman Mao and LKY are both internationally well known political personalities in their own rights with certain similarities and glaring differences.
1. Chairman Mao whacked his political foes and they ran off to hide in Taiwan. LKY whacked his political foes and sent them off to jail.
2. Hit by an inspiration, Chairman Mao decided on cultural revolution to make the country more prosperous, akin to self sufficiency. When hit by an inspiration, LKY decided on mass immigration of foreigners to make SG more prosperous.
4. Chairman Mao's cultural revolution split the country. LKY's policy of mass immigration of foreigners also split SG apart. Sinkies are called disgraceful and xenophobic for not supporting this policy.
5. Chairman Mao believed power came from the barrel of a gun. LKY believed the hatchet in his bag is good enough.
6. Chairman Mao did not believe in God and neither does LKY.
7. Some Chinese believed Chairman Mao was God-incarnated but some sinkies believed LKY is devil in disguise.
The list can go on but there is one honest truth: Without Chairman Mao, there is no modern China today and without LKY, there is no modern SG.
