MM Leee is stucked in the past.
Whatever was done 50 years ago, was done by a team of really dedicated and selfless team members, whom MM is, respectfully, the only one left. This team, and the many citizens fough and to build Singapore to what it is today. Not the current team of PAP office holders.
This current PAP team is totally out of touch with the ground, objective only to achieve high GDP growth with end result to fatten their own pockets with absolutely no accountability for their failings.
It took a angry groundswell, highlighted by the opposition challenger, to wake this team of world highest-paid minsters to grudingly 'recognise' their follies and to acknowledge the growing dissenting sentiments on the ground.
With the oppositions gaining strength ad recognition, the next coming election will likely see the downfall of PAP iif they still do not wake up NOW. Alas, MM Lee is not likely to witness the throwing out PAP as government of Singapore.
He may have to either have to rise from hius grave, or eat his own dare-words and labelled a a liar.
