My American friend on MM Lee..

[RonRon]

As an American, I admire Mr Lee's remarkable competence in governance.

He is an exceptional leader, and has led Singapore to extraordinary heights.

My only wish is that - in america - we could have more leaders like him.

One major difference is that Singapore is governed with actual competence and intelligence benefitting the prosperity of Singapore and tasteful urbane development with trees and gardens set throughout grand architecture. On the other hand, the rank incompetence and stupidity of American governments--whether fiscally liberal Republicans like Bush or socially and fiscally liberal Democrats like Obama--are engendering America's decline.

In america he might not last a day. I can bet my last penny on that.

My PRC Chinese, Indian, British and Japanese friends said almost the same thing. Their admiration of MM Lee is without question. They don't nitpick on selected policies which may appear incongruent at times such as banning chewing gums, caning illegal immigrants or vandals or giving some benefits to graduates or talented people or fining and CWOed litterers. Imagine how many people will be doing the same as the man from Yishun who urinated in the open, or the amount of thrash the Work Permit Holders from all over the world will be polluted the beaches and parks and Orchard Road?

To say that MM Lee is great is an under statement - he should be considered one of the greatest because his contribution goes way beyond Singapore shore - even to the most powerful nation in the world.

Obama knows his PR. I wouldn't attach too much to what he said.

If Hu Jintao or Wen Jiabao said the same I would be truly impressed

It's not what others say that matters but what Singaporeans say.

Just like treating your friends and visitors well but neglecting your own family members at home. Of course you will get good opinions from the outsiders.

I fully subscribe to what your American friend said about MM Lee.

I also subscribe to the believe that having millions or billions of dollars is not good for oneself. It corrupts your good self and will cause you to expect more and hence spiral down the evil of no return and condemns your soul.

As of now, I do not have the millions or billion, not even thousands (caveat : when I finally have my millions, and maybe billions, I reserve the right to retract the above statement and say the opposite).

[kingrant]

Fully agree. He can't even manage one Suzhou project.

 

[RonRon]

MM Lee speak as well or better than Obama in his younger day

He should be God, and all religious devouts in the world should abandon their gods and worship him.

A HEARTY HUG FOR MR LEE: Mr Ali Ahmad embraced Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew like an old friend at his home in Henderson Heights. Mr Ali, 90 first met Mr lee in the 1950s when he was a bus driver with the now-defunct Singapore Traction Company

Ha Ha, tell your American fren if MM were to be President of the USA it will only last one term not 52 years hor..or if in Japan may 2 years or less see how Japanese change their PM like change under wear? One after another they never seen to be satified!

are you suggesting him to go to USA?

 

[Kid278]

Fully agree. He can't even manage one Suzhou project.

Yet holding a cabinet title minister mentor never before heard of in the entire history of the world of politics. Whose job had no portfolio in contribution but forecasting, I would rather call it dictating.

And even had the cheeks traveling the work with taxpayers' money trying to lecture others how to run their countries.
