yep! agree. duno why they like to target singapore to divert attention over their other internal matters? not the first time already, i think? i dun really understand politics, but can like that one meh? isnt it against some rule of diplomacy or something?Originally posted by :I tink Malaysia is just jealous lah.............
Anyway, Mahatir once commented on US' prison in guantanamo Bay for political prisoners should be shut down and was shot down by the US President for hypocrisy. So I tibk he's still smarting from this reprimand and wanted to deflect attention by slamming LKY's comments...........
Mahatir talks too much. Oso, now that he's lost the UMNO elections, he's lost face so attacking LKY is one way to deflect this humiliation lor....
so mahathir shld really take up line dancing or something.

Mahathir should just concentrate on bringing down the Malaysian government

MM Lee Kuan Yew said it was vital for Singapore, a predominantly ethnic Chinese state to stand up to its bigger, majority-Muslim neighbours, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Lee, a founder of the People's Action Party (PAP) that has ruled Singapore uninterrupted since independence in 1965, also criticised Singapore's opposition parties, saying the city-state would eventually collapse if they were elected.
"We need a government that will have the gumption and skill to say 'no' to our neighbours in a very quiet and polite way that doesn't provoke them into doing something silly," said Lee at a forum on the sidelines of the World Bank-International Monetary Fund (IMF) meetings in the island republic.
"My main critics want me to be as liberal, open and contentious and adversarial with the opposition as the West," said Lee, who was independent Singapore's prime minister from 1965 to 1990.
Lee and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers were the key speakers at the forum.
Those who wanted Singapore to embrace a more liberal style of democracy failed to see the limits of its geography, said Lee, whose son, Lee Hsien Loong, is Singapore's prime minister.
Lee Kuan Yew, who turns 83 on Saturday, holds the title of Minister Mentor in his son's cabinet.
Lee said the attitude of neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia towards Singapore was shaped by the way they treat their own ethnic Chinese minorities.
"Our neighbours both have problems with their Chinese. They are successful. They are hardworking and therefore they are systemically marginalised," he said.
Indonesia and Malaysia "want Singapore, to put it simply, to be like their Chinese -- compliant", Lee said.
Although Singapore and Malaysia have deep economic ties, relations between the two countries which separated in 1965 after a brief union, have often been prickly.
Relations between Singapore and Indonesia hit a low in 1998 when then-President B.J. Habibie referred to Singapore as a little red dot in a sea of green -- a reference to the fact the city-state of 4.4. million people is surrounded by two large, predominantly Muslim countries.
Lee acknowledged that there was growing support for opposition parties among Singapore's voters, but said the office of the elected presidency had been put in place to prevent a profligate opposition government from touching the island's vast monetary reserves.
"Without the elected president and if there is a freak result, within two or three years, the army would have to come in and stop it," Lee said. -

don't be so naive.Originally posted by axle-ken:nah u r wrong. we can just finish off malaysia within 48 hrs.
up to u to believe a not. but we'll sure win.
sure, our military might be better than theirs in many ways, qualitatively and quantitatively, but Malaysia has a lot of strategic depth. After getting bogged down trying to hold the country (especially the water pumping stations), assuming if we win, we would most likely have a scenario where both countries emerge as very big losers, especially economically. -
wor...so if the opposition gains momentum in the few years and gains a significant foothold in the parliament... its a freak result i suppose hes referring to and that the army should step in to make 'corrections'??Originally posted by boy in blues:"Without the elected president and if there is a freak result, within two or three years, the army would have to come in and stop it," Lee said. -
