Fuck sake man, do you think in Taipei or Seoul or Hong Kong those port workers are reduced to using human labour to carry sacks of rice?
Wake up. The point is that cities like Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, etc, which are located in geopolitically regions even more unstable than Singapore, are able to achieve a much higher level of democratic society while maintaining a standard of living comparable to ours
You should have retired from public life 10 years ago. Now it is just sad to see the tatters of your intellect

retired more than 10 years ago.
old man is senile already lah... he can only talk cock sing song... but i dont' think he will have another 5 years... all of us just have to be patient... when the Emperor goes... LHL's position will be rocky... many ministers do not like LHL, and many ex-PAP ministers would love to set up their own political parties to go against LHL...
S'pore can't go on auto-pilot, says MM Lee
Posted: 08 May 2011 2114 hrs
SINGAPORE: Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew has reminded Singaporeans the country cannot go on auto-pilot and must continue to have capable leaders to run the nation.
Speaking at an event to thank residents at Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency (GRC), MM Lee said the division will continue to have more upgrading programmes and improvement schemes.
MM Lee said: "Today, the Singapore Port Authority has mechanised; no longer do people carry sacks of rice -- they use forklift trucks, computers, cranes, so as a result salaries have gone up, productivity has gone up.
"That is the way Singapore has to go and the only way we can increase standards of living, increase our skills and our capabilities.
"2011 has seen a generation that does not remember from when we came.
"But that is to be expected, but I do and those among you over 50 will remember.
"Do not believe that the Singapore flight can be auto-pilot. You will run into storms, you will run into all kinds of emergencies and you must have good pilots on board and passengers who do not panic".
MM Lee was asked by reporters later for his thoughts on the swing of votes towards the opposition in this General election.
"I am sure the Prime Minister and his team will sit down carefully and analyse the reasons and adapt our policies. I can't say more, I am not the prime minister," he said.
On Minister George Yeo's defeat in the Aljunied polls, Mr Lee said Singapore has lost a valuable minister.
"Not just Foreign Minister, he was also Minister for Trade and Industry but that's the way the cards have fallen and we have to live with it," MM Lee said.

If you keep running the place like 40 years ago, this country will never progress.

So how does he expect this generation to behave? Kowtow to the FAP and continue to be yesmen and serfs meekly like their parents? Luckily, they didn't. As they have demonstrated in this election, their passion, patriotism and fervour has re-ignited the hope in Sporeans again! And btw, before he forgot, Spore has reached to where it is today not because it was a one-man show, but from the sweat, blood and sacrificies of a few generations of Sporeans - who are now being marginalized by his foreign pets. Can someone remind him cos he seems to have conveniently forgotten about it?!

Yes those over 50 will remember the British did a good job. Not LKY.
he is senile already...
"cards have fallen" more like the soldiers have been shot!
Passengers who do not panic? Really?
We have been in panic mode for the last few years with the influx of foreigners already. How to not panic when more to come after GE2011?
He must not have seen the adverts in Shaw Cinemas...
It's worse when the flight is on senile-pilot, based on outdated terrain data and 50 year old technology.
LOL! Maybe Dead-Pilot is better--going to crash.
