Suspicion LKY is very ill???

[tanwahtiu]

.... maybe the reason why MDA is doing this?

It is similar to the case of death duty tax was rushed passed through before Gekoodo died?

 

[ray_of_hope]

Every few weeks for the past 20 years there has been such suspicion.

In the end he may outlive most SBF forummers. lol

He is dying a disease for which there is no cure. It is called OLD AGE.

Don't bet on it ...PAP has billions to spend on research to keep him alive or to store his body until they can bring him back to life.

LKY lives on forever.

 

[tanwahtiu]

the older you live you will see your children die before you.

it is good to keep him alive to let him see his children die before him or even his grandchildren die before him.

If he live to see LHL die before him wonder where will he find his next PM?

LKY was a far better politician than LHL.

LHL is not a politician, he is a glorified administrator who occasionally engages in pointless theoretical postulations that are not founded in reality (motherhood statements like 'we must stick together as a nation').

Under LKY, the PAP had a core political ideology. What is the PAP's core ideology now? It doesn't have one.

Seriously, I think that even at age 90, LKY would make a better PM than his son, and he should put himself back in the PM's job if he truly wants to save this country.

i cannot wait to see this day happen.

in his own words..his bio clock is ticking away. no amt of engineering can prevent this.

LKY even if he physically fit will not make a good PM now. He is of a bygone era, his ways and methods cannot work now. The faster he drops dead the faster for the good of this country. If the whole clan would drop dead is even better.

Right. The sufferings of Singaporeans now are all due to his rather short-sighted policies. His policies all stemmed from his own prejudices and skewed mindset and they were made to satisfy his own ego, the people's well-being were not really on his mind. What were hailed as successful policies were all gauged only in the short term, but we can now all see what a massive failure they all have been in the longer term. LKY only aimed for successes in his life-time for self glory and totally neglected the consequences of his actions for the future generations. To say that he was a good PM is therefore absolutely wrong and is as short-sighted a perspective as what LKY had.

You seriously think LKY was a lousy PM?

You think LHL is better? Seriously?

Yes, absolutely serious. The failures of his policies are now for all to see. I didn't say LHL is a better PM simply because he is not the actual PM, the old man is pulling all the strings. Anyone who thinks the old man is out of the scene ought to have his head examined. Nothing happens in S'pore, yes, even right now, without his blessings.

I afraid if we don't support LHL we may well get a worse PM down the road. Singapore has the means to solve her problems but not much time. LHL needs to build cohesiveness in our society. You cannot do that with vast inequalities and importing vast numbers of foreigners and calling them Singaporeans.

I fear you may have missed something. The die has already long been cast. Since about 8 years ago they started to treat this place as simply a corporation and nothing more. The concern they publicly articulate for Singaporeans appears simply to be one big PR exercise and nothing more. The voting majority who are still doing OK either do not know or they do not care.

Look at LHL's mistakes:

- Mas Selamat escaped under his watch, and he failed to sack the minister responsible
- SMRT has become worse and worse under his watch; under LKY, the MRT was something at least everyone could be proud of
- Huge numbers of immigrants have entered Singapore under LHL's watch, whereas LKY actually wanted to limit immigration
- GLCs now control more of the economy than ever before, while SMEs have been marginalised -- the situation now is far worse than LKY's time
- During LKY's time, alot of civil servants/scholars were actually people who had balls and got stuff done. Say what you like about Philip Yeo, Ngiam Tong Dow, etc but at least they had core beliefs and the courage to implement them. Right now, the civil servants are just bureaucrats and not leaders. They are merely glorified administrators. Always hiding behind the 'system' and never daring to take initiative or responsibility. Whose fault is that?
- The income gap has gone up tremendously under LHL's tenure as PM. During LKY's time, it wasn't that bad.
- Singapore's productivity is amongst the lowest in the developed world right now, something that wasn't the case during LKY's time -- back then people had aspirations, they believed in working hard and moving up in society. Today, people are only concerned with short-sighted issues, working from one paycheck to the next. They have no big picture plan as far as their own careers are concerned. They want easy money, stable jobs, comfortable environments, bosses who will spoon-feed them with lots of welfare and personal 'mentoring'. Basically they don't want to think for themselves, they want their bosses to spoon-feed them and take responsibility for them.
- During LKY's time, the PAP never lost more than 2 seats in Parliament. Now, the PAP's unpopularity is at an all-time high. 60.1% popular vote is actually their worst-ever score since independence! Moreover, the PAP has never lost 7 seats in Parliament before.. even under Goh Chok Tong, there were only 4 Opposition MPs.

How can you say that LKY is a worse PM than LHL?

LHL is not cut out to be a politician, plain and simple!!!! He was forced to be one!!

He has the $$$ any parts fail just change parts, he has the best doctor Nd no need to pay a single cents

 

[glockman]

LKY was an outstanding politician and PM in his day. He managed to rally the people behind him and secured power through strategy and tactics. But somewhere along the way, you know what they say about the ills of having absolute power. Also, he failed to nurture a capable successor. Hence, we are all in a great big shit-hole today.

 

[ray_of_hope]

- Huge numbers of immigrants have entered Singapore under LHL's watch, whereas LKY actually wanted to limit immigration

How do you know that this was the case? I suggest to you that the reverse is true. LKY wanted more immigrants but GCT refused.
If you recall, just after the Asian Crisis of 97/98 it was LHL who was trying to explain away why there was a widening gap between the top end of salaries and the bottom end. He said it was due to "globalisation", the movement of people, and appeared to be setting the stage for a vast influx under his own watch. Both Lees have been in lock-step with many policies that created inequalities. GCT, however, given his humble background, wanted to "level up" society.

Is he dead ? Last saw him at the MBS,cannot even walk steadily and talk consistently.

All those things what happen under LHL's watch is also under LKY's watch since LKY is still in government, is a MM and draws a salary or benefits from govt.

LHL and LKY sama sama..
