This is blasphemy but this Chen Show Mao is probably more intelligent than Lee Kuan Yew. Definitely smarter than Lee Hsien Loong.

Whether you agree with Lee Kuan Yew's policies or not, you have to acknowledge the LKY has brains. But watching Chen Show Mao speak and answer questions and seeing his credentials, LKY may have met this match.

Chen Show Mao also has the advantage of being fluent in Chinese and being steeped in the Chinese culture -- something which LKY lacks -- which actually makes it hard for LKY to attract votes for being well-liked because he cannot ready connect with the Chinese-educated and Cheena types --- LKY had to rule by fear. Don't vote for PAP, the economy will collapse. In politics, it is important to be well-liked.

Watch how Chen answers questions and you will notice the Chinese-ness in him - the humility for example. Something which Low Tia Kiang also possesses.

great minds think alike.

i mentioned in this forum many times. lky scared of Chinese educated opponents not because they are leftist, but the humility in them. lky is a baba and he is not infused with Confucius ethics which is the soul of Chinese culture. Confucius ethics set high standards for court officials and rulers, in modern era will be the govt and the politicians. People will always be the first! not any other things! not even " growth"!!!

得民心者得天下！ 儒家以民为本的精神是李光耀和人民行动党所缺少的！！！

The major difference is the route taken by CSM and Arse Loong. CSM was balked by the system and denied a place in medical school. Disgusted, he ventured overseas and took on the best and reach the pinnacle of his career.

Arse Loong, on the other hand, was playing to a well written script that turned him into a paper general of a small city state by 30. Napoleon will be thinking Arse Loong could be a military prodigy.

Similar to the tricks used in North Korea, Arse Loong was parachuted from the military into politics and the dynastic succession was on the cards. Throughout his career, Arse Loong did not face any major problems or challengers as his papa sue dissenters to bankrupt or used ISA rascal tactics to harass any foes. In addition, his mama used his papa's name and made a tidy pile as insurance should the Imperial Family failed to proceed with the dynastic succession after Arse Loong.
