they're communists whom they've haven't betrayed yet, back then.

 

[CakeLengKia]

during that time PAP practices centre left politics with a strong left (or communist) background

 

[Leepotism]

Indeed LKY is a political mafia during his 52 years in office.

All the political parties were using gangsters. Lim Yew Hock was even worse. PAP however was worse using the communists to do their dirty work.

I also remembered that dirty Harry used to look so thuggish. He even admitted (in the days of yore) that he was quite horrified one day when he looked at the mirror and saw how much of a thug he looked. Must had been his wifey, who got him to become more gentrified and looking more like a statesman. So from his curly hair and pockmarked face, he had a facelift. I knew he used to comb, er, sorry, brush his black curly hair, with a brush he kept in his right hand trouser pocket. I saw it with mine own eyes in RI when he visited the school. Creased his forehead when making a point, always using his right index finger to point threateningly, talking like a gangster. Bloody tall bugger, towered over everybody then, literally and figuratively. But mostly politically and Machiavellily..
