Unknown to the citizenry, LKY in the PAP, is running Singapore not as a democracy but as a communist state.That is why, even at this hour he proclaims that only rule by one party is a viable option for Singapore. This is exactly how the Peoples’ Republic of China is governed. LKY worships the PRC because its model of governance suits his strategy of concentrating power for himself and his devotees. With the power comes vast rewards at the honey pots of the country. Suharto’s devotees own the assets of the country.LKY’s devotees manage the assets of Singapore at astronomical salaries. In the end the outcome for the citizenry of both countries is the same.Meanwhile LKY and his gang mocks us for our stupidlity in allowing them to take whatever they want.

[...] What accounts for the tendency of Singapore’s ministers of the ruling People’s Action Party to thumb their noses at ordinary Singaporean citizens? [...]

Well the Singapore government is a laughing stock world wide with their extravagent salaries and boastfull speeches . South East Asia is renowned for its political families and authoritarian governments , who basically have no respect for their populations who do all the work .

Too many people rely on their past glories to justify their demands for continued deitification. But the past cannot chart the future. Perhaps, as a reference, yes, but certainly not as a guidepost.

The deitification process has long been implemented. A slew of publications coupled with special funds, scholarships and naming of various institutions have been carefully “released” at “staggered” intervals to maximise public impact. It is actually part & parcel of a grand game-plan to consolidate its dictatorial rule over the island.

The mass media have been manipulated into a faithful mouthpiece to convert the docile populace to accept such a deitification exercise, without question. Half a century of intense but subtle indoctrination has reduced the People into soulless digits.

Meantime, the rulers make hay while the sun shines. Thus the reluctance to let go of the gold-laden bandwagon. Plump pays, princely perks, prestigeous posts plus prime previleges are worldly attachments for mere mortals.

The same “rewards” are used to enlist various “(y)in-tell-i-gent” individuals into playing the game, for a period of time, after which they can choose to migrate to less stressful shores southwards.

The occasional abject utterances by various ministers and other paid functionaries are just part of a reinforcement ritual required by their masters, to ensure that they are toeing the line while on the take.

Power is the world’s deadiest drug. Having been hooked, mere mortals may find it difficult to relinguish such hellish habits. But is is not impossible. Past US Presidents and UK Prime Ministers have retired gracefully when their terms expired. They turned to humanitarian pursuits. They are at least closer to “deitification” than any money-grabbing mere mortal.

Apart from the casinos at the outskirts, the main island is promising to be a big fun place. The devil is now in-charge!

Unless Singaporeans are secure and have a good sense of self worth, they will continue to be bashed with impunity by such people.
It is not inconceivable that power-holders make inappropriate (an euphemism, really) remarks.
What scares me more is that people accept these remarks as truth.
Unless you say no, I am not an “animal” (in the pejorative sense of the word) and I will not allow myself to be called one by one who is nothing more than a “fellow animal”, you will continue to be bashed with impunity and this bashing will be with more than words. It will one day be paid for with unequal policies, with financial loss, and even physical hardship.

Think that what you have is worth keeping the government in for? The man himself, when visiting Angkor Wat, said that you can never take your security for granted. If you do not keep in mind that this government, not a foreign enemy, can one day take away all you have, abrogate your rights to the point where you are kept at the very brink of starvation, and expect you to be grateful for it, the worst could very well happen.

So we are a country of stupid dogs, animals, grumblers and maids led by extraordinary, excellent and first-class men? The quality of leadership is reflected by the quality of it’s followers… so something doesn’t make sense here…

Yes, an achievement indeed. The other side is that behind these two simple harmless words “1st world” (a surface nicety) lie the many people whose trust may be broken.

Mine is broken,hurt & disgusted. The signs are showing,that unless we collectively act, we will be foreigners in our own land in the years to come.

///We are talking about facts and not emotions///

We are also talking about the fact that humans do manifest emotions because of certain facts depending on where they stand. Humans are afterall emotional animals and you cannot have facts in isolation & without the human emotional element to give it the lives & meaning that the facts are supposed to give.

///From 3rd world to1st world in one generation! That is something.///

Monopolistic political systems , arrogant politicians and lack of freedom of speech are characteristic of South East Asian countries , and the system is starting to show its age and inadaptablility .
Also the system in Singapore has developed a certain mindset for a lot of people and to change that will be very difficult , I would agree with the reference to Singaporenas as molly-coddled .
Those who did not like that system have already left Singapore .

How about the little guy who said `Mas Selamat is either still hiding in Singapore or He has left the country’?. Now that’s what I call `True-blue stupidity in its purest form’.

The policy maker is applying a ‘double standard’ because just as he bashed Singaporeans, I do not see an admission from himself for the wrong population control policy….

I used to respect him before. But not now anymore.

He loves and enjoys claiming credits for himself what he has done for Singapore and sprouting rubbish the same time to belittle us which interpreted and sounds like we are so stupid as sinagporean.

I am damn tired of his nonsense and I have no words to describe him further.

This is a free world, free to have your own opinions. We are talking about facts and not emotions. You can hate LKY and PAP for all you want, but you cannot deny the fact the world respect and acknowledge him for a job well done.

From 3rd world to1st world in one generation! That is something.

The interview covers so many topics and it is an insult to our intelligence to take it out of context.

“Ohmigawd. You are asking the homeless to go seek help themselves while you, who feels so fortunate, just sit back and wait until they get help, then tell them how fortunate they are..”

Did I sound like I was doing that. You and me are not sitting back and we are all here for a good reason. You and me may do it differently in our own ways and within our own limited capacities of helping the unfortunates.

You may want to redirect your energy & focus on those rightful authorities which have given us the impression of their scare & rare abilities and have all the right power to make or break a person on a long term basis with their policies.

Else we will spend most our time dusting up crumbs which the big men clumsily leave behind while munching on their nice full pieces of bread.
