hi...It's all politics. This time he's using<br />his comatose wife to win some sympathy<br />votes for the impending elections. The <br />most I can say for him is that he is a <br />fair actor.

Just followed the likes of all feudal chinese past dynastic institutions.Utilise race ,language ,and religion to serve his narrow ends of ruling in perpetuity.His interview is a confession of a dying man conscience who has done many negative things and who fears where he goes next.May he be blessed in any event.Hopefully he did not gain the whole world but loseds his soul.Anonymoushttp://theasiafile.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349632196064141356.post-13706907035826027082010-09-14T21:54:03.000+08:002010-09-14T21:54:03.000+08:00LKY has done a good job.

It cannot have been very hard . . . One needs to understand exactly what the game here is. The dramatic rise in the number of foreigners living in Singapore and the related rise in housing costs have, with other issues, led to rising unhappiness on the ground in Singapore. This situation has made the PAP skittish about the election that it must call by some time next year. It is petrified that it will lose a multi-member constituency. It is working hard across the board to assuage the unhappiness of Singaporeans. Among many others, one element of this program has, it is now clear, been gulling Mr Mydans into having a moving, very well planned chat with the Minister Mentor. Though run in a prestigious foreign paper, this inteview echoes back through the state-controlled media in Singapore and exposes Singaporeans to the human side of a regime from which, as the very same Catherine Lim for whom LKY shows contempt in the interview with Mr Mydans once put it, Singaporeans are separated by a "great affective divide". Will LKY's display of humanity help bridge that divide with Singaporeans? Time may tell. Polling would also tell, but political polls don't happen in Singapore.Not "Ulysses by the Merlion"http://theasiafile.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349632196064141356.post-18268866675160515362010-09-14T22:54:44.000+08:002010-09-14T22:54:44.000+08:00Lee Kuan Yew is not human.

He gets rid of his<br />opponents by locking them up without trial,<br />forcing them into bankruptcy with unfair <br />lawsuits in his kangaroo courtrooms or drive <br />them into exile. More than once he threatened<br />his opponents with violence, saying he would <br />meet them in a cul-de-sac and that he would be<br />bringing with him knuckle-dusters and very sharp<br />hatchets. Now that he is about to kick the <br />bucket he goes all mushy, trying to win some<br />sympathy from those who are used to his<br />no-holds-barred tough talk and tougher actions. <br />Well, it's too little too late. No one who <br />knows what kind of person he is will shed a <br />single tear for him.Anonymoushttp://theasiafile.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
