It was well after the 1994 million-dollar upward pay revision for ministers, Lee Kuan Yew, son Lee Hsien Loong, their extended family members and cronies, including a high court judge showed their avaricious greed in the purchase of luxury condominiums from Hotel Properties Ltd (HPL).
The condos were grabbed at greatly discounted prices by extended Lee family members and their associates through Lee Kuan YewÂ’s brother Lee Suan Yew, a director of HPL at the material time. Though Suan Yew was in total violation of stock exchange rules and regulations he was allowed to quietly resign from the company while others in similar but unrelated cases were severely punished by Lee Kuan YewÂ’s kangaroo court headed by his judicial crony Yong Pung How, a Malaysian political refugee.
Is that a corruption?
Corruption is NOT merely about the taking of undertable money alone.. A truly innovative but GREEDY politician can circumvent that easily by legimitising 'undertable corruption'(illegal) in more ways than one when absolutely power is gained ie a grossly overpaid income (legal)..
Being the highest paid politicians in the world that is NOT proportionate to the size of the country (be it geographically or demographically) governed or the GDP it produces in comparison to others in the world, I proclaimed PAP style is legalised corruption..
In democracy, people can hold their govt accountable for their actions, but the moment you do that in singapore, you will be identify, arrest without a trial, make a bankrupt or worse, sent you to IMH for observation..
