MR TRENT NG: 'I'm halfway through the book Lee Kuan Yew: Hard Truths To Keep Singapore Going and I am loving every page. Never have Singaporeans heard so candidly, yet gently and emotionally from the Minister Mentor. So controversial are some of his thoughts that I had to re-read some of his quotes and wonder if he really was going public with such sentiments. I realised that his sentiments were not divorced from reality. In fact, these are subjects that are discussed privately on the ground. Now that he has opened the discussion, we should pick it up as mature Singaporeans. Let us not shy away from the hard truths but be pragmatic and open, and learn from our weaknesses. Thank you, MM Lee, for being a 'fighter' and going on record with these hard truths.'
