Can locals trust this 4th generation of leaders to be good and fair in the years ahead? What if one of them became a Najib? Any one else in Parliament to ensure it would not happen? Ownself checks ownself again?
When LKY and his team came to power in 1950s, did you know his pappies' candidates did not speak English or Mandarin except those close to him? They spoke in dialects. Did Deng Xiao Ping speak English? Yet, he was a brilliant politician and statesman.
So, please don't deride LTK for not speaking proper English. If he could make people understand what he was saying, it is good enough. He doesn't have to speak English with the stiff upper lips of the British.
When LKY pass his baton to the 2nd and 3rd generation subsequently, many doubt as well but it turn out that the new generation is still doing well....
If you wanna compare Deng Xiao Ping to LTK, then please tell us what's the difference between them..... Deng Xiao Ping dare to speak up, does LTK dares to????
China is a country whereby their first language is chinese unlike Singapore..... You wanna talk to me about China, my pleasure dude!!!
Even my china friends knew that SG first language is English and you're telling me SG should have a leader that can't speak our first language properly..... You think this is a circus show or what???
