When a dying dictator gets another useless award

did he invite his good friend:

“All those who met the great man from the little country were lectured on how Malaysia should be run.”

“Singapore is a tiny country. Don’t talk big.”

- Mahathir Mohamed, Prime Minister of Malaysia

and another good friend

“Why is he still so afraid? I honestly think that through the years he has accumulated enough skeletons in his closet that he knows that when he is gone, his son and the generations after him will have a price to pay. If we had parliamentary debates where the opposition could pry and ask questions, I think he is actually afraid of something like that.”

“Mr Lee Kuan Yew kept on repeating how he built up this country and how much he has stored in the reserves. That is the tragedy of the man. For all his intelligence, he does not possess the wisdom of life. …
Mr Lee Kuan Yew fights all his demons within himself to try to shore up his reputation. In the process, however, he destroys the very legacy that he so desperately desires to establish.”

- Chee Soon Juan, Secretary-General of the Singapore Democratic Party

this is a great achievement award
and I think singaporeans should be proud

Who put you in charge of deciding what Singaporeans should be proud of?

 

[chilakak]

What's the point of having a grand birthday celebration for someone who cannot even turn up?

And what's with the getup of Hsien Yang? Trying to be Bruce Lee? Even the Chinamen came in Western suits!

 

[blackmondy]

at least 90% will mourn and sob

Most likely those who are in civil service and need to protect their jobs.

Who put you in charge of deciding what Singaporeans should be proud of?

Ha ha ha ha!

The only thing kopisai can decide is which unflushed public toilet bowl he should put his head in to sing
muckjular stinkapura and which turd floating pass him is the most tasty in his mouth

 

[zeddy]

Old Fart can't be bothered anymore with this kind of big celebration to honour him..

He wants to prepare himself for the ' Big Day '.. A reunion with his beloved Gecko is all that matters to him..

Who put you in charge of deciding what Singaporeans should be proud of?

I didn't say I am in charge mah
I only post my opinion
cannot meh?

Pictorial book tells story of Lee Kuan Yew's life

Saturday, Sep 07, 2013

SINGAPORE - A bilingual pictorial book that chronicles the life of Mr Lee Kuan Yew was launched on Friday, to commemorate his 90th birthday on Sept 16.

Titled Lee Kuan Yew: A Life in Pictures, the 268-page book contains a curated collection of about 480 photographs.

It includes more than 100 never-before-published pictures, some from Mr Lee's personal and family albums that capture private moments between Singapore's first prime minister and his late wife Kwa Geok Choo, as well as their three children.

The book is published by Straits Times Press, the book publishing subsidiary of Singapore Press Holdings. A copy was presented to Mr Lee at his Istana office on Friday by SPH CEO Alan Chan.

Work on the book started in January, and the team involved included The Straits Times' Picture Editor Stephanie Yeow, correspondent Cassandra Chew, and senior writer Leong Weng Kam; and Lianhe Zaobao news editor Han Yong May and executive photographer Spencer Chung.

The team sourced for images from Mr Lee's family, old friends, colleagues, grassroots leaders, government agencies and even collectors of Lee Kuan Yew paraphernalia. The result is a pictorial spread that not only covers the breadth of his achievements, but also reveals his more intimate side.

The book will be available at leading bookstores for $70 (inclusive of GST) from Saturday. It can also be ordered online at http://www.stpressbooks.com.sg.

Look at all the doggies attempting to shore up the scumbag's 'legacy' before he kicks the bucket.

[Patriot]

How come MP Lee Kuan Yew still have an office at the Istana?

:kma:

it's a truthful and genuine respect and tribute to a truly Singaporean leader
nothing to do with currying favours or any form of shoring up
you can see how humble and respectful they are - very touching and I am moved to tears by their devotion and dedication
what a wonderful gift for a birthday present
we have great people and we have one very great leader in our country
majulah singapura!!!!

Everyone is paying, give advance peh kim. This time they get 10 course dinner, the real one they eat only chicken curry and Fanta orange.

My other question,,who is paying for it?

 

[bakkuttay]

let us be positive altogether,

let us combine our minds as one to concentrate positively for arrival of the lorry to receive the 90 year old..

The catalogue of shaming tactics:

http://exposingfeminism.wordpress.com/shaming-tactics/

Charge of Irascibility (Code Red)

Discussion: The target is accused of having anger management issues. Whatever negative emotions he has are assumed to be unjustifiable. Examples:

“You’re bitter!”
“You need to get over your anger at the PAP.”
“You are so negative!”
Response: Anger is a legitimate emotion in the face of injustice. It is important to remember that passive acceptance of evil is not a virtue.

 

[The_Hypocrite]

If this is a private affair, and not funded by tax payers,,,old fart can have as many of such dinners as long as he pays for it,,,but knowing the Lees, the tab will ultimately be paid by the state.

BTW has it been confirmed that Old Fart paid for his late wife's special SIA flight from London to Spore?

and who paid for his late wife's funeral? there was honour guard etc for a private citizen, what right has a private citizen entitled to a honour guard?

SQ flight - $1 only or what? May be he cheapsake use his frequent flyer mileage to claim. KNN.

Honour guard like cisco? for rent? who pay?

Where is chee bye kopi? Ask him to show proof that it is not $1. Ask him how much did that old fark paid for that SQ flight.

And who and how much was paid for the the honour guard.

 

[Leepotism]

How come MP Lee Kuan Yew still have an office at the Istana?

Probably he's MP super duper grade. Still draw $3.8 million every year I presume. Anyway all the Skunks in White kow tow o him like an emperor.
