Just my 2 cents since the issue of the Old Guards are brought up. Singapore that time was already a 1 party dictatorship after the decimation of the Barisan Socialis. However eventhough it was a 1 party dictatorship, it was not a 1 man dictatorship. LKY might be PM but I believe that at the Cabinet and senior party leaders like goh Keng Swee were not dominated by LKY. LKY at most was the 1st amoungst equals. However after Pinky came into the scene and the old guards got retired LKY became more dictatorial. There was no one else to argue with him and keep him in line. That was the beginning of the end of Singapore and as a result we are in the situation we are in now. All the problems Singaporeans face now is caused by LKY due to his failures to ensure Singaporeans livelihood.
