Yep.. and the economic one is none other than Dr Goh Keng Swee.

What stuck me over and over again is still how relevant most of what JBJ was saying here about freedoms and such in todays Singapore.

RIP JBJ.

Every increment in % is a step towards change and True Democracy.

Lets make it happen, starting with this coming Election.

I admire Mr. Jeyaretnam even more!!

Why am i not surprised?

Good man. Radical thoughts, but definitely not destructive. Politically incorrect, but frank and honest. Emotional, but who can say they have believed as passionately as he did till the last breath? And indeed, many of his thoughts here still hold valid today. A salute to a good man.

I do wish, however, just for the heck of it, TOC will post the LKY response in Parliment to this, if any, possibly to ‘demolish’ such ‘high faulatin ideals’? :)

So much for our great Father-of-the-Nation’s ideologically impoverished impression of the human creature. To my mind, only animals are ruthlessly and pragmatically fixated upon self-interest, without scant regard for the wishes or opinion of fellow creatures.

He meant it when he said “Don’t insult the people” and I have never seen him do it, even to his foes, although he was judged to have defamed many in power. Others have openly insulted him when he was alive and even after his death. He did not have to put a monetary value on his honour and that was the greatness of the manth. To him “Power to the People” was not an aspiration but a universal human right he fought for. He did not get a official grand funeral or hundreds of expansive orbituaries from people who wanted to showcase their grief. Instead he got quiet candle light farewells from people who really appreciated the man for what he had done. When he died no one was glad except a perhaps a few who refused to acknowledge what he really stood for and tried to portray him as a destructive force out to create havoc to their power base. The genuine tear shed itself is an honour that no amount of power or self-proclaimed greatness can buy. Not when the people are waiting anxiously to attend your funeral and place orbituaries and declare “At Last”
