this video on youtube cements my complete respect for the old man. without him, sg would still be a filthy, slummy, disorganized, polluted shithole populated by a bunch of self-serving sinkies unable to grasp greatness and incompetent of executing on a vision of cleanliness, greeneries, flowing waterways, smooth roadways, ample pedestrian walkways, vast housing estates, creature comforts, bustling amenities, abundance in retail and lifestyle choices, etc. i lost count on the amount of beautification, modernity, progress, prosperity and success he contributed to sg, achievable only through conviction, commitment, control, and care to details. he reminds me of steve jobs, perfectionist and pursuer of dreams to the extreme, an arsehole to the disenfranchised but a godsend to those who admire the success of sg. no one can deny his vision and achievements.
