  Hi,
  
  I saw hk movie about a mafia king retired and let go of power .
  
  and what happened, he kana murdered by his rivals waiting to take revenge.
  
  this may be why mafia bullys no guts to let go of power and face his enemies like a man.

  Ren (Benevolence), Shan(Compassion) may save the mafia king but he has to overrule the clones like Khaw or Mah who are still using sheer legalistic power to take monies from the people.

  As the analogy applies to Singapore. It would be something like if LKY stepped down from power and lost his bodyguards, Indonesia, Malaysia and the other governments in the region would arrange for his assasination.
  
  I don't think that is the case. I don't think the analogy works here.

  I misunderstood.
  
  I wrongly assumed that as it was posted in speaker's corner, it was a veiled reference to LKY.
  
  My apologies.
