Because since 1965, he has been selecting the most stupid and least threat individuals, he has amassed the worst team possible, but the easiest team to control, relatively speaking.

The price in real response towards a big crisis, is a bunch of goondus who cannot operate to meet the challenges. Singapore has great talent and willing people to serve with better hearts than the prevailing crap, but LKY wants to be Cixi Dowager coward. Good generals must be killed and loyal advisors must be sent miles away. That was the fate of Nandah and Tan Lark Sye. LKY is confirmed to go down in history as the most shameful yellow banana chinese who sold out.
