Ya, I was shocked too. It goes to show the dictator can do whatever he wants to glorify his own family. Goh Keng Swee never have such honour. Seem like the country is making such QUEENLY funeral, for a housewife, no other past leaders can compare with. This is getting absurd. I wonder which dogs suggested such idea too, to please his master.

Please, she is no housewife, she is one of the founding partnetr of a law firm that does not only on property coveyances.

She is the wife of our dear leader, Lee Kuan Yew, the mother of our beloved Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, so gun carriage, gun carriage!.

 

[neddy]

It became clear that the PMO (being the prime minister, son of the deceased) are exploiting taxpayers fund again to honour his mother and give her grand departure. This is a total conflict of interest. The father is like that, son also like that. No wonder we have Temasek and GIC losing billions without any head roll because who is holding our key to the reserve. Fxxk!!!!

I hear that they will have 7 SIA 747s as the flyovers at the funeral.

Don't you all feel the satisfaction that you have contributed some money to Gecko funeral, whether you like it or not

747s old oredi. now A380s.

Is the national flag gonna fly at half mast today?

Don't think so, flag at half mast only for office holder whilst gun carriage for holder of the "office"

A public holiday would have been nice

That is why, i needn't go down to Istana to pay my respects, respect her as a person, but I have already contributed, for me like others have bought HDB flats, before HDB 'opened the market'...:p

I respected her as a respectable old lady who did her role as wife and mother very well. I held my tongue and wished her farewell.

But this is too much. As a citizen, I cannot accept this. Yes, she is wife to one of our greatest man. But tell me didn't Mrs Hon Sui Sen, Mrs Ong Teng Cheong, Mrs Wee Kim Wee, Mrs Nair, Mr Goh Keng Swee all fulfill the same duties to great men of our time? Why the need to blow things out of proportion? This is really destroying the respect I have for this old lady, and it probably is not her fault.

At the rate things are, soon we will start to feel that they owE the country.

Get your facts rights.
1. Gecko was not a housewife - she was a secretive powerful figure in Singapore.

We all only know the OFFICIAL political structure of Singapore that PAP presents to us. But we have no idea of the REAL power structure. Usually, only when someone dies that you know his/her real status.
eg. When the Taiwanese mafia chief passed away, even the Taiwanese President has to attend.

2. The sooner people face up to the facts that Lee and PAP are "too big too get rid of" and that they can do what they want and use the shit times to say :oIo: to the people in the nice way, the sooner you will be able to accept that this is the norm.

Many people are in denial and showed indignation.

U are right. People dun realise that she was the 2nd most powerful person in S'pore, maybe even the most powerful. Certainly, she has more power than her son Gay Loong. And the damn thing is that she was unelected. No one will know how many national policies were originated by her and implemented by Old Goat at her behest. Certainly, Old Goat was credited with many accomplishments, both good and bad,but I think that she is the one that should have shared the credit. The whole dutiful housewife act is just a front. She does not walk one step behind him, she walks with him. When they switch from a strategy of imprisoning political opponents to using the law to bankrupt and imprison them for slander, her handwriting is all over this strategy. At one time, most of the prominent supreme court judges were formerly from her law firm. She manuevred them into the judicial system in order to carry out Old Goat's vendetta.

Let's not get too upset about this. They need to get the old carriage out of the garage once in a while to ensure it's working.

Think of this as a dress rehearsal for the "Big Day" when the last leaf falls

That should include the feminization of sinkie men and ah siah kiahs mentality. She was alarmed by scout carrying knives so scouts do not carry knives but indulged in foot drills, the only scouts in the world to do so. SG should be child safe she declared, hence no roller coasters, no bartop dancing (chup cheng even says its leads to fatal falls). Entire schools are run by skirts, now football fights get served by year long bans. In their eyes, the worst crime a kid can commit is not to pass up homework. Navy ship is piloted by another skirt leaving 3 of her colleagues dead. Our money, our money gone because her daughter in law thinks she is Soros. The ang mohs fawn on her, calling her one of the most powerful woman on earth, conning the auntie again and again. Chosen for her son, this time with all the dna tested and triple tested to make sure there is no albino genes or other surprise. Like a bred farm animal, all he needs to do is to sire and play his favorite hide and seek game. 2 generations of lost hope for Singapore. Someone should make boiled toads a national dish after chicken rice and chilli crabs.

The whole funeral is to con the oportunists PRCs, They called her the mother of Singapore, otherwise Singapore is just a fishing village with malay rulers. In their eyes the gecko should be revered in mausoleums like Mao (their days are numbered, employers are waking up and hiring cheaper and better behaved Burmese and Nepalis.)

Certainly, she has more power than her son Gay Loong. And the damn thing is that she was unelected. No one will know how many national policies were originated by her and implemented by Old Goat at her behest.

I second that. Was hoping aft they annouced the gun carriage, they will also declare tomorrow a public holiday.

Mrs Lee... RIP. If you have done nothing wrong, you will RIP.
