Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew:
“That is the way the world is. I have explained this. I think I lost votes after I explained the awful truth. Nobody believed it, but slowly it dawned on them – especially the graduates – that yes, you marry a non-graduate, then you worry about whether or not your son or daughter is going to make it to the university!”

I couldn’t imagine MM (Mentalist Manipulator) Lee could look down on ordinary, honest, humble and hard-working human beings. No wonder, I understand he often seeks omen from the non-tertiary Abbot at the Bright Hill Temple regarding his life and future just like Macbeth who sought the witches in a cave about his future from warrior to lord to king hereafter.
I came from a family of 11 children among the poorest of the poor in Singapore, born of illiterate parents. Out of the 11 of us, 5 are college professionals, 4 undergrads and 2 postgrads and I’m one of the latter two. All of us married non grads with one exception. In fact, all my 8 nephews and nieces who have completed pre-U, are either in the universities or completed undergrad degrees. I did two post grad degrees concurrently in less than 30 months in one of the world’s best known universities in North America, Harvard. I married a non-grad and all 3 children possess undergrad degrees too. What has he got to say?
Did his albino grandson get to the university? I understand he has a sperm and egg bank for his family to ensure a super Lee race and dynasty. Is this true? Maybe, he believes strongly in producing a super race of Singaporeans who are all graduates.
Take for example, the USA, with the most number of graduates anywhere in the world and many of them have children who are non graduates.
Mentalist Manipulator (MM) LKY’s argument on assortative dating does not hold water, period. Only imbeciles and the gullible believe him.
I supposed to talk rubbish in old age is an old man privilege.We Sinkaporean had grown up and is capable of independence thinking unlike our fore father, first generation from China, India or other part of the world. Many of us hold several degrees and held senior position in oversea companies. LKY is still living in the 50s and his ideas were out dated but no one dare to him. He may be surrounded by many ministers but how many dare to tell him he is wrong? His views and idea had way pass the “sell by date” as the modern world matches. The modern world had in store for us many surprises which we as a country had not even started to address it e.g Global warming and rise of sea level, potential food shortages as a result of global rainfall failure. These are issues countries like S Korean and Saudi Aradia had started to address e.g leasing land in Africa and Central Asia to grow food crop.
i think everybody is just waiting for him to expire and die. funeral arrangements for the late dr goh keng swee were made for mm lee in mind. he apparently has got his own coffin made already, by prisoners in changi. top secret as netizens claimed. it is believed that doing so will prolong his own mortal life, similar to the many blood transplants he has undergone in order to look ‘rosy’ and ‘youthful’.
