    Like most commentors here, I will miss JBJ. He kept the PAP on their toes and give hope for the opposition in Singapore.

    I think the Old Lee should be quite happy. the most vocal, daring, and eloquent opposite icon is gone. CSJ’s reputation and character properly destroyed and bankrupted. LTK is a meek kitten, and will probably be the lone opposition MP after 2011 as CST aging, ill health and retiring. There is zero leadership in any opposition parties. The regime is now absolutely secured.

    Regardless of how unhappy the peasants felt about PAP, there is nothing they can do because there is no opposition that is strong and capable enough to stand up to PAP.

    Old Lee can rest in peace (even if he should go)… for now, JBJ shall always have a special place in our minds.

    In spirit, JBJ lives on to eternity.

    JBJ did not need the million dollars salary to do the good work of God; he surrendered his all, he humbled himself so lowly in the public places, to do the good work of God. JBJ was made poor on earth, so that we have a better place to live.

    JBJ indeed has shown me how to shines for God, to do the will of God on earth as in heaven. I am so blessed to live in Singapore with JBJ.
