This lau Fucker is really getting senile. Why he go an make this kind of comments? Is he trying to scare away foreign investors? This moron has been in power for 50 years and still "we're in transition?" Unbelievable. I just want to make these comments on this article
1) I feel more patriotic and felt a closer sense of nationhood in the 70s than I do today. Today, I feel like I have been invaded by FTs, and in some parts, I feel like I am a foreingner in my own country. We have taken a step back in this sense. the sense of closeness and uniquesness as a singaporean is not there anymore.
2) I feel that if the PAP has not acheive nation hood or a successful nation building by now, than why are they getting paid the money they are, than why are they still in power? Move over and let someone else give it a try.
3) This comment about JI planting a bomb in a MRT station is a joke. The only reason that the JI is interested in this little red dot is because there is no where else in the whole of Asia where, thanks to the PAP, u can find such a concentration of US and Israeli military personnel in one small island. Not to mention the many US and Israeli commercial interests. If Kon You did not sell his backside to the US and suck jewish cock, the JI could not be bothered.
4)Obviously, Kon You has not walked among the plebians in a while, or he will notice that we do not speak English here. Its a form of pidgin english. Singlish is a not easy to understand if you have grown up in a real english speaking country like the UK or the US. The intonations, slangs, mix of other languages does not make this a real english speaking country in my opinion. In fact, I think HKers speak better english because they don't have a mix of other languages thrown in.

MM Lee says Singapore needs to do more to achieve nationhood
SINGAPORE: Despite achieving harmony amongst all races in Singapore, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said on Saturday that the country is still a work-in-progress when it comes to nationhood.
"Are we a nation yet? I will not say we are. We're in transition," he said at the Orange Ribbon Celebrations which centres on racial harmony.
The minister mentor reminded audiences that cohesiveness was not achieved overnight in Singapore.
"Will we always progress? Provided we know where we are and what we have to do to get there, we can easily regress," he warned. "All you need is to have the JI (plant) a bomb or an explosion at an MRT station."
The JI or Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist group is among the chief suspects behind Friday's bomb attacks on luxury hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Mr Lee said leaders in Singapore will have to continue to work closely with grassroots to achieve the goal of nationhood.
"Please remember this is an ideal which we may not completely reach, but because we have this ideal, we'll continue to make progress," he said.
On new citizens, Mr Lee is confident that Singapore's education system, where English is the main language, will help assimilate the young ones into society.
"That is the nature of our system, we can 'culturalise' them. We can 'Singaporeanise' their habits, their values. We won't force them to change their religion," the minister mentor said.
Mr Lee added that it may take Singapore another 44 years to become a nation, but once the country gets there, it will have a better society.
