He was not interested in being popular...So he was successful. And he is there to stay."<br />- SM Lee Kuan Yew, The Man And His Ideas, 1997<br /><br />The Reality<br />"Once a hero of the independence movement, Ne Win died in disgrace, detested by many for turning prosperous Myanmar into a basket-case economy. The former dictator died while under house arrest."<br />- Straits Times, Dec 7, 2002<br /><br />The Gifted <br />"One man, his attitude, his approach, his philosophy of development. He wasn't interested in building an empire...He was serious. It has to do with belief in God, democracy, justice and amongst other things, development. That's what he wanted. And because of that, Asean has prospered."<br />- LKY on Indonesia's President Suharto, National Day Rally, 1990<br /><br />The Reality<br />"..the stink of nepotism and corruption around the Suharto government grew as he began promoting avaricious relatives and business cronies to the cabinet. It was the economic collapse of 1997 which sealed the president's fate...On 21 May 1998, President Suharto resigned, just two months after he had been re-elected for a seventh term by the country's rubber-stamp legislature."<br />- BBC, Sept 28, 2000Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-83555759505534821412011-04-02T15:49:17.811+08:002011-04-02T15:49:17.811+08:00Tattler, hopefully more and more sporeans learn to...Tattler, hopefully more and more sporeans learn to smell the PAP buggers out, see through them, that they are essentially self serving and have been taking sporeans for a ride.<br /><br />to anon @9.50pm,<br />Lim KS will probably convince Mah BT to swallow same dosage as Teh CW followed by a dive from the highest HDB flat...just to be doubly sure.<br /><br />ps: sporeans really ought to ask themselves, who can be more oily and more vicious than oldfart?<br />and does it make sense to vote for those serving oldfart?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-6361664526007330842011-04-02T14:31:05.946+08:002011-04-02T14:31:05.946+08:00I just wonder when the old fart pays his ministers...I just wonder when the old fart pays his ministers that kind of obscene pay, is it considered as oiling the path to make sure it is smooth sailing for his son ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-28622370278104998422011-04-02T01:08:09.308+08:002011-04-02T01:08:09.308+08:00"When I shake his hand, I feel I want to wash..."When I shake his hand, I feel I want to wash it."

Lee was utterly convinced that Mr Seow was a secret agent for the CIA. <br /><br />At some point, while Mr Seow was staying in a hotel, he was tipped off by a hotel staff that a detective firm had payed to purchase the trash in his wastepaper basket. This private detective firm had been hired by none other than LKY; even after Mr Seow had left Singapore, LKY was still determined to prove to the world that he had correctly "sniffed out" Mr Seow.<br /><br />Watch the whole interview to enter the mind of LKY...Passerbyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzOLJE2ysNwnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-58663543883621129642011-04-01T22:14:49.147+08:002011-04-01T22:14:49.147+08:00To anon 9:50pm
