The importance of grassroots organisations
Old Autocrat claims his lackeys at grassroots organisations keep the community alive and united. His lackeys are better at organising field trips to support other lackeys and minions facing electorate battles. In addition, his grassroots are used to snuff opposition feelers to reach out to stupid local peasants.
The role of racial and religious harmony in S'pore's development
A legacy of old battles with Ummo in the Malayan days. Old Autocrat knew for him to gain political power, he need racial and religious harmony because of his minority status in the Malayan days. After the split, this is not so important because he has absolute power in Peasantpore and can count on Uncle Sam to cow the moslems. In recent days, racial harmony is used as tools to punish his enemies and ensure no freak results in elections e.g. racial quotas at public housing.
Singapore's linguistic evolution
Old Autocrat was simply outclassed by Hokkien/Mandarin orator Lim Chin Siong. This is a lesson he never forgot and he made English the working language, something he is most comfortable with while he take lessons to brush up his mandarin and dialects to deal the socialists a decisive blow. In addition, he read History that Chinese despots usually play language games after unifying the country e.g. Chin Emperor, Mao etc. Hence he has played the language games to consolidate his control over dissenters. The rebellious chinks at Nantah were defeated using English as a tool, a smart move by Old Autocrat in playing language games.
Utility of foreign talents
Foreign talents depress local peasant wages and make MNCs happy. FTs also consume goods and services, making merchants and nationalised corporations happy. FTs are good source of tax income e.g. levies. There is one truth in Old Autocrat's statement involving FTs, in the public sector, preferences is given to local lackeys and minions.
