With NS, LKY castrated half of Singapore's population. Using ISA on Francis Seow, LKY castrated the Law Society. Bringing Trade Unions under PAP, LKY castrated the Union leaders. Starting PA, LKY castrated the grassroot leaders. Rewarding his cronies with high pay in SPH, LKY castrated the media. Using castration and being successful in upgrading standard of living, LKY had a strong hold on Singapore.
But LHL is not LKY. LHL lacks LKY's intellect and charisma. Because of his poor performance, poor leadership and bad track record, LHL is not able to command respect except from his closest cronies. That's why LHL resorted to reward his close cronies with ministerial posts and political posts. But these cronies are non performers and giving them such rewards alienates LHL from the people further.
Also with social media, Singaporeans were able to see through PAP's evil.
Singapore needs the civil service, media, civic society, law society, and all singaporeans to work for Singapore. LKY's hold on SG is loosening because of pap's performance and social media. Civil servants cant be too defensive and more singaporeans are against the pap. To thwart this trend, pap's hope is in harnessing the new citizens, even at the expense of depriving jobs to qualified and skilled singaporeans. Let us see what evil pap will come up with.
