Well, with LKY dead, you can be sure that Singapore is changed the moment he passed. His son was on the throne because of his father and he is definitely not a chip off the old block. He will now be judged based on his capabilities, and judging from his track record over the past decade, it is a matter of time before someone else takes over. No more running to papa and all respect accumulated by his papa will be buried with him.
This is definitely the start of the end of PAP's stranglehold on Singapore's politics. If he wants a strong mandate for another half decade, he'll hold the elections fast, banking on sympathy votes, with LKY's legacy fresh on people's minds. But he'll be branded an unfilial son for campaigning so fast after the death of his father.
