LKY instructed GCT to learn from Machiavelli

[UltimaOnline]

Among Machiavelli's political philosophies :
The end justifies the means.
Do what needs to be done, not what ought to be done.
It's far better to be feared than to be loved.

In modern psychology, Machiavellianism is one of the dark triad personalities, characterized by a duplicitous interpersonal style, a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest and personal gain. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machiavellianism

Asking GCT to read Machiavelli's text "The Prince" was probably LKY's hint at GCT to not get too comfortable as PM. After all, he was just warming the seat for "The Prince".

Oppie Chee is unfit to lead Singapore. He is so far left and so naive that he allowed IS operatives to infiltrate his political party. If not for PAP, the SDP could have been hijacked by foreign powers.
