Opposition would ruin Singapore: Lee Kuan Yew
-
Speaking late Wednesday, Lee, 84, warned Singapore voters against putting the opposition at the helm of government "in a moment of fickleness or just sheer madness" when they get "bored" at some point in the future.
Should this happen, "I think all bets are off because in five years they (opposition) can ruin this place," he told hundreds of delegates.
He stressed that, unlike many other countries, Singapore does not have natural resources such as oil, gas, forests, timber and aluminium.
"When you are Singapore and your existence depends on performance -- extraordinary performance, better than your competitors -- but that performance disappears because the system on which it is based is eroded, then you've lost everything."
Lee, widely credited for shepherding the underdeveloped port into one of Asia's wealthiest nations in one generation, said younger Singaporeans often tell him he is "playing the same old record" when he delivers his message.
Singapore's small opposition has only two seats in a parliament dominated by the People's Action Party which has been elected since 1959.
Despite its economic success, local and international civil rights groups have criticised the government for cracking down hard on dissenters and political activists.
Street protests are rare and public gatherings of five people or more are banned without a police permit.
Lee has maintained that Western-style liberal democracy is not the right model for Singapore.
He said one ingredient for a country's success is putting able leaders in government, but that this could be difficult under a more freewheeling US-style democracy.
Lee holds the cabinet rank of Minister Mentor in the government of his son, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

You keep on repeating this propaganda. Over and over and over and over.
Lee Kuan Yew, if you come to my Jurong GRC and a dog also come to contest,
I will vote for the dog.
You understand or not Lee Kuan Yew?

Of course he is against the above for it can possibly be against his personal interest and evil doing.
Since he is so against oposition and thinks opposition will ruin Singapore, he can always start monarchy in Singapore. He will be King and his hopeless son lee hsien loong will be prince and ho jinx can be called camillia. ha ha ha
