LKY said "I did what I thought was right".
Isn't that total crap? He did what was right for him, not for the sinkapore. He knew that sinkapore's survival would be tough as it has no resources. But that didn't bother him because he wanted to be chief honcho. If he couldn't rule Malaysia, he would rule sinkapore. So, he engineered the departure of sinkapore.
LKY took a gamble with the lives of millions of sinkees. It was lucky that he succeeded BUT ...we are now facing the constraints of a tiny island. That's why we can't progress any further. From high growth, we now have to settle for 2 percent!
Let history show that as the truth. Enough of LKY's bullshits.
Spin. Old fart is a good spinner. And he was pro-US when there was a fear of communism in Southeast Asia.
Yes, the supporter of the "dominoes effect"....China, was the communist evil at that time...now PRC is now, 'our brother', our 'countrymen"....what a difference MONEY makes.! Have this not being repeated throughout Chinese history? & it will continue to repeat...![]()
Without LKY, singapore would have been like a Hong Kong with Malays......
is HK any worse than Singapore?
In fact, they are happier and even have higher salaries.......
Agree.
Here, the endless flow of migrants are depressing wages !!![]()
i can agree "that's finished, done. i move forward" but never ever "you keep on harking back, it's just wasting time".
hahaha, fat hope phd doing research on you.
I have great respect for LKY. He single handedly built the country from swampland to first world Metropolis.
Without him, we'd be no better off than the rest of SEA.
