Given his way, he would probably sanction all his enemies. Well, like minds think alike.<br /><br />When Low Thia Kiang, in his tribute to LKY, mentioned his warts and pimples, they all combined to slam him as insensitive and bringing politics in. What do you call glorifying him and blitzing the media every day with the one sided account of his fight against the Communist bogeyman, to kick start their General Election campaign?<br /><br />And we have the shameless Khaw boasting “When we planned this one week of national mourning, we of course expected a tremendous outpouring of emotions. But the reality exceeded our expectations.” Don't count your ̶c̶o̶w̶s̶ chickens yet, because we remember "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones."<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-74322428342537146142015-03-27T22:25:04.360+08:002015-03-27T22:25:04.360+08:00In other words, these words of praise are mostly l...In other words, these words of praise are mostly lies used to build a myth.

"Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac" pretty much tells you everything about HK's motivation. One wonders if all sins can be forgiven. Perhaps God consults the ones who have been hurt and killed by HK's actions before he makes his judgement. In any case forgiveness is dependent on repentance. I doubt HK is repentant.

Ipso facto, their actions can be excused as long as it's for the greater good. <br /><br />Both are 91yo and good friends. The difference between HK and LKY, is that their geographical and demanding vs docile audiences are different.

Why? Same reason per Ukraine: a right wing BJP suited American foreign policy against a rising China far better than a left-winged, almost anti American Congress.
