Such fanciful funeral ceremony with headlines flashing all over the main stream media, is nothing more than politics at play. His race is: INDIAN and we know PAP love playing racist card to gain sympathy. I doubt, they sympathise the passing of the prataman. It is his "RACE" that PAP is after and hoping that Singaporeans will accept minority race president in the upcoming PE. Besides, with influx of Indian in Singapore, they are trying to get more Indians to support the LEEGIME. Prata ceremonious funeral is a wayang at best. After that, you see PAP will be having partying and fun time with smiles all over their faces, agenda achieved.
