Yes. At this stage of crisis, sporns will accept anyone other then LHL as a PM. ... It took him 10 hours to make a decision when the solution was obvious. Till today he is still indecisive.
Do you take less than 10 hours to decide whether you should marry a stranger? Do you take your time to learn more about your girlfriend's personality, compatibility, suitability? before deciding to marry her for life? Or do you rashly plunge into the decision and later find that you are in a position where you are better off without marrying your girlfriend? There is no U-turn along the expressway.
The great PM Lee, the owner of the genes of the founder of Singapore who turns a malaria-infested tropical mangrove swamp into a first world generation within half your lifetime, carefully assesses the problem of the day and then send his best Cambridge-Oxford-Harvard-Stanford educated scholar-ministers to thoroughly examine the situations further and come up with the best solutions that could resolve the issue in a lasting, durable way that is just, all-encompassing and spread happiness for all. And that what he has done, by ensuring that all banks are able to guarantee the savings of their clients are safe and secure. He is so generous to even dispense $700 billion dollars to enough he beef up his words with geninue deeds. How many countries in the world have that kind of money, and more? You tell me.
He would not rashly, as some people would like him to do, for example, force the commercial banks to pay those gamblers who risk their money to get more money.
Neither would he wants to immediately cut CPF or give out goodies and freebies to those people who on one breath would readily condemn his government, and then on the very next breath expect the very government to bail them out or save them. And while they expect these ministers to work hard, they scoot off to some distance land to enjoy their vacations.
In such time of distress where Singapore is spontaneously dragged into a global situation, a tiny global city-state like Singapore would need great people like PM Lee and his ministers to haul Singapore back into the league of great nations. Singaporeans are intelligent to vote these people to govern the country, and to turn this little red dot into a great nation.
