LKY may have been regarded by many as an outstanding political leader but he also has many mortal enemies and detractors. To stay in power, he surely couldn't be gentle and benevolent like the Pope or Mother Teresa. Many lives were destroyed and many dreams were dashed. Just let him be a distant memory and move on. Enough of the Lees!
That's why you need term limits. Otherwise you get a tinpot dictatorship. All dictators are terrified of losing power - fear is what drives them.
And China's history has shown that in a monarchy's father-to-son leadership succession, eventually a descendant heir would be such an imbecile that the dynasty implodes.
