The fear of Lee Kuan Yew is an illusion.

don't even waste effort on proving your point - the young (the immature ones anyway) only concerns with what gains they get in the future from the current political perspective, and not the overall picture. I even get idiots retorting using my exact own words (as above)Originally posted by E-sing:I feel annoyed too about young people in here belittling MM Lee. Saying stupid things like when is he going to die?
How low will you people go?
While I agree with most that MM Lee rules with an iron fist (in the past), have you ever stopped to ask - did he have other choice during the formulative years, Singapore's existence was at stake. We were then poor and desperate.
I think many of us have forgotten that for a fact.
A great man is a great man, there is no one in this ungrateful world that can deny this.
The main problem with MM Lee is - he does not play to the galley or crowd. He knows what is best for Singapore and he dived straight into tackling those basic issues he knew he had to do in order to bring Singapore forward - like providing jobs and housing, and bringing in investments.
At that time, there was nobody capable or brave enough to do it, in fact some were instead bent on seeing Singapore fail.
OK, I agree somewhere along the line MM Lee made some mistakes unpurposely but then again which policitician did not?
They think posting in sgforums can change the political climate which they are not satisfied with (when they are free and sick of their iPods and playstations), and that hurling insults at the MM and wishing he would die faster would help.
In that case they are better off hammering wooden clogs at a paper effigy ala old auntie style
I am not a PAP supporter but I am at least aware of Singapore's history and recognize what LKY has done to make Singapore what it is today. How we wish to further our success depends on ourselves and what we do, instead of hurling abuse and insults that disgrace the image of Singaporeans.
Anyway our posts in this forum will soon get inundated by the hatred and ranting of the little boys, so I will just make my point and leave

Go read up more on Suharto, and you will realise that there's no such thing as a good politician. Only good policies and absolutely trash policies.
LKY is no angel, but he's no devil either. Sure, he's been terrible at preserving our human rights, but who knows, in another decade or two, people might say that he laid a firm foundation for us to hit developed nation status and become a proper democracy?
It's about which point in time a person is viewed. Yeltsin was called a hero in the late 1990s, today they lambast his legacy in Russia. -
Yes.. Pls leave. U can leave yr boot licking comment of LKY to yrself..Originally posted by Rigante:don't even waste effort on proving your point - the young (the immature ones anyway) only concerns with what gains they get in the future from the current political perspective, and not the overall picture.

It is precisely that kind of self-praising propaganda that LKY use to promote himself as the person single handly build Spore.
Don't u think it is so disgusting of his present policy that he thinks elderly is a burden to spore future. The way he leeches all sporean hard earn money..
Yes... U all read too much of his self praising stupid biography!
I will spit on his tomb on the day of his death! He put his own reputation but he is also the one ruin his own reputation.. -
I imagine LKY would feel reading these threads pretty much like Ender felt at the end of Ender's game.
