Lee Kuan Yew Face Stone Stone and Open Mouth Big Big Again

Not true. This was Manila in 1938. Singapore was already ahead of Manila in 1938.

The Philippines isn't developed in 2013 so how you can use it as an example certainly beats me.

The youtube videos certainly confirm that Singapore was nothing but a fishing village. You can see for yourself that apart from the areas which serve the colonial masters, the rest of the country is nothing but palm trees and atap huts.

If it wasn't for LKY, the whole country would still be undeveloped. I am forever indebted to that great man who made the country what it is today.

Because in response to this:

Singapore was already the richest and MOST DEVELOPED country in Southeast Asia and second richest per capita in Asia (second only to Japan)

Your wrote this:

That's because the rest of the countries in SEA weren't developed at all.

So it should be abundantly clear why I used the example of Manila being well developed in 1938 - to contradict your incorrect statement that "rest of the countries in SEA weren't developed AT ALL". :rolleyes:

In that case Manila has gone backwards because I was there 3 years ago and it is one of the most undeveloped cities I have ever seen in my life.

Apart from a small swanky portion of town, the rest of the city is just one big slum.

I understand perfectly well that they are in a state of denial because they have allowed personal hatred to cloud their judgement.

LKY towers above all the losers here and they feel inferior so they have to talk tough from behind the safety of their keyboards.

LKY has met with students and young Singaporeans many times over the years and all of them were as quiet as church mice. Only ONE Singaporean student had the balls to take him on.

If you have something to say, type it. There's no point posting irrelevant videos which have nothing to do with the issue at hand.

I lived through Singapore's development from 3rd world to 1st thanks to LKY. You can show me 10,000 videos but they aren't going to erase the vivid memories I have of having to walk half a mile to a stand pipe to collect water in kerosine tins for my mum to use for cooking and washing.

LKY changed all that. After he transformed Singapore, I had the opportunity to live in a swanky home with hot and cold water, 3 flushing toilets, an air conditioner in each room and an abundance of opportunities to improve my lot even further.

LKY is a great man. I experienced his leadership first hand. Another 100 videos about another 50 philosophers but this isn't going to alter the reality that I lived through. Perceptions and values can be manipulated. However, altering my reality would require drastic brain surgery or an adaptation of the technology from "True Lies".

Please note the parts in bold:

No doubt about it, he is a political animal. Mind games are a necessary tool. The British used it to control their far flung empire. It's as much about inculcating in the colonised a sense of inferiority as it is about the superiority of their arms. Using those arms day in day out to maintain the Empire would be too costly and ensure nothing except that the Empire will collapse in a short time due to over expenditure on war. Making Sinkies feel inferior about themselves and therefore needing a "great" leader (like his "humble" self) is crucial to the success of his game. However, that's different from saying that we would not have succeeded in the initial years of independence without him. We would, the path would have been different and not necessarily slower, the British were still around until the early 70s to ensure that Lim Chin Siong does not do anything to damage their interests.

Sinkies better Wake Up, Clean Up and Stand Up!

Please note the parts in bold:

Some people are under the illusion that LKY is greater than he actually is because they don't know any better and have never experienced life beyond Singapore's borders.

In my case it's the other way round. When I was growing up in Singapore, I thought LKY was a braggart, a thug and a megalomaniac. I hated his guts.

I didn't fully appreciate his abilities and his wisdom till I started traveling and working in other so called "developed" countries as a young man. This opened my eyes and made me realise just how lucky I was to be a Singaporean who had grown up in the LKY era.

That's where we differ and I suppose will never meet
Hated the Old Fart when growing up in Sinkieland
Have since experienced life beyond Little Red Dot
Caused me to hate the Old Fart even more
With good and better articulated reasons too

Your reasons are philosophical and emotional and revolve around airy fairy concepts.

I look at the bottom line results.

Big FUCKING YAWN

You spend your time better looking at the inside of steel toilet bowls shared by 50 chinese and indian and malay families

Strangely, there were at least 2 toilets in my old family house, and one more right at the back but that used by the two amahs living with us.
All my friends in ACS never talked about having to share a steel toilet bucket like you had to.

None of us were living in attap houses or in fishing village.


YOU ARE FUCKING LOST IN SOME CUCKOO LAND

My reasons may have been airy fairy before I left Little Red Dot
For I knew something was wrong but could not put a finger to it
Then I left the little island full of daft sheep on a jet plane
Experienced life without a nasty dictator, famiLEE and cronies

Those reasons ceased to be vague and I can see clearly
Why the Little Red Dot will not progress any further
As long as Old Fart calls the shots whatever his title
Events that transpired after my departure prove me right

The bottom line can be defined narrowly or broadly
Those who chose to define it in narrow terms to cover up their failures
Cannot be considered great in the grand scheme of things
Hence in my books the Old Fart is nothing more than a vile city mayor
