Mr JBJ is loved by many.
Thousands and thousands of people who attended his wake went with their hearts and true admiration.
Mr JBJ may not be a govt-office bearer, but he seems to belong to many Singaporeans.
Those who bid farewell to him have nothing to ask for return, just the spirit of wanting to be with him in the last walk.
What if LKY suddenly closes his eyes for good?
Would you attend his wake? Would you guys meet for potation to celebrating his death (no drunk that night don’t go home?)
Of course, being LKY, a great leader in the eyes of his beholders, the mass media would go crazy, Singapore would breakdown for a month, flag would flutter at half mast, and the news would make sure the world pays him the last respect.
So what say you? Those who attend his wake are hypocrites or are at no choice? So those who cry louder at the side of his casket with the name tag on would get promotion earlier?
Just think about the strength of the PAP Inc.
All dept heads would work double hard and mark attendance and mark those who skip the queue at the wake.
Comparing both the wakes, Mr. JBJ will be remembered spiritually whereas LKY would be remembered materialistically. If there are no F1 and casinos to earn money for the civil servants, LKY would be forgotten in two week’s time after his demise.
Both are leaders on different plateaus, you agree with me?
