I agree with some of the points you mentioned. But looking back at the nation n society, do you think SG is good to have too much voices...
Honestly, I'm not a fanE of LKY but the way he handles things really impressed me... If not SG would not have turn itself to a country with so much recognition is a short 48 years!!! Even super power country like China are learning from SG govt n LKY, which means other leaders have seen something in him and his team...
Just to quote u an example i just experience over the weekend... As usual i went for my soccer match on Sunday with my frienz in Wuhan, when the care-taker of the pitch heard my tone was not local, he ask me where i came from... When i replied him Singapore, do you know what's the first reaction he gave me??? He replied me in chinese "牛B"
Maybe you can check on the internet what does it mean by "牛B" in China... Not only this once, many a times when i claimed that i comes from SG no matter in China or Taiwan, i'm well-received... This is what LKY have done to the nation n how others from outside look at Singaporeans n SG...
