GKS's Media Assault a Dry Run for Old Man?

[SneeringTree]

Obviously the media has been preparing the kaput of GKS for a while, it is impossible to produce so much (including a whole supplementary) of GKS in half a day after his passing.

I wonder how much stuff has Braddell Brothel written on Old Man?

just hope Old Man don't die during GE period to give PAP a surge in votes.

Printing plates for new currency all ready to go.

Do you think face will be on $5 bill or $1000 bill.

$5 bill gets more circulation and thus more widely seen.

$1000 bill has more prestige but less circulation.

The other possibility is that publication will be suspended as things are changing too fast - LHL will step down immediately and return to mathematics which he declared was his first love, there will be a mad scramble for power, massive shredding (Enron style) will go on at GIC and Temasek, there will be no time for fancy obituaries except from a few die hard fans.....

Enough for one year's edition of newspapers?

It might have the opposite impact.
Some people have voted for the pappies all this time on account of him.
They might turn away after he's gone.

Not just the brothel, the entire machinery will be put out in full throttle to trumpet the accomplishment of old man that will splash across all media for days or even weeks when the time comes.

Look at Eddie Barker, Rajaratnam, Wee Kim Wee and now GKS as the yardstick. I guess the committee designated for the old man has been rehearsing for years on what to spin when the time comes.

I do agree, a honourable ordbituary ready in hours for the passing of the old guards seems too well rehearsed . Its like it has been prepared for years just ready to be put in use.

The ironally of the local system & administration.

what's wrong with a very well oiled machinery and media...

we should be proud ...our efficiency is world class..

the day our great leaders pass on, the people are all very well informed...the past catches up with us immediately..

nothing wrong with working on the great leaders - their history and their contributions..

dr goh is a great man....and there is no need to defend his contributions to this little dot...

modern singapore speaks for itself...thank you sir..

rip...sir!

The fact that it's in the media doesn't mean we have to follow it.
When a marching band is playing, you don't have to march along or hum along. You can always go about your own business.
Even if you choose to wear red on that day, nobody can stop you.
