The more Lee Kuan Yew opens his mouth the more he reveals his
ignorance.
It is very dangerous and harmful to state interests to let a
deluded person like Lee Kuan Yew to hold power.
He has to be voted out in 2010, otherwise he might destroy
Singapore.
I read a study the other day that revealed how shallow his
intellectual capacity is.
Really shocked by the rubbish views that he holds.
He is an imbecile.
Here is the study:
Lee Kuan Yew: Race, Culture and Genes
...This article has described in detail the character of Lee
Kuan Yew's racial views
substantially using his own words as evidence.
After a
lifetime of being circumspect on the question of race, Lee has
finally spoken openly, revealing himself as doctrinaire
racist.
Yet it would be a mistake to condemn Lee as a hard line racist
in every sense of the word. Such a characterisation of his views
would be a distortion of both his logic and his natural
disposition.
There can be
no doubt that Lee is a racist in the sense that he believes that
some races and some ethnically-based cultures are inherently
superior to others. His own words leave no doubt about this
assertion, though it should be recognised that this in itself
hardly makes him remarkable in Asia.
He is also a
racist in the sense that he has integrated his racial views into
his political agenda and he has created a regime which accentuates
racial categorisation.
This assertion, too, is beyond dispute, yet it should be
acknowledged that affirmative action programmes in the United
States and Australia are based upon racial classifications and are
widely accepted as part of modem liberal orthodoxy.
Of equal significance to our study of his political thought are
the aspects of political and personal racism that Lee has avoided
by his eclectic approach. Lee's idiosyncratic rationalisation of
his racial views, for instance, has undermined the tendency to
dismiss any race as being irredeemably inferior, or unchangeably
superior.
He has not conceived of any race as being supreme, even though
some are more intelligent and hardier than others. Unlike Social
Darwinian racists, he does not base his views on the assumption
that any race is a lower or higher evolutionary form of
humanity.
He sees no unbridgeable divide between races. Although his
environmental determinism, Lamarckian view of evolution and
cultural eugenicism may explain the higher intelligence and better
glands of those who hail from a "hard" society, they also create a
firm line of continuity between the different races, and give each
race the capacity to change for the better or the worse:
hence Lee's efforts to
"improve" racial communities by "tinkering" with their
cultures.
The result has been that despite instances of overt racial
discrimination by Lee's government, and more common occasions of
discrimination in Singaporean society, Lee has created a society
which has a relatively low level of racial tension, despite having
a high level of racial consciousness.
Considering his own racial views and the nature of the society
he inherited, this is a remarkable achievement which, despite its
shortcomings, should be acknowledged.
Our understanding of the nature of Lee's views on cultural and
racial evolution
now enables us to perceive a new depth in Lee's public policies and
in the
development of his political thought.
More significantly, it gives us a fresh insight into the deep
fears which have driven Lee throughout his public life, and
especially since his sinicisation in the late 1970s Lee has married
pessimism, progressivism and geneticism to produce a vision of a
horrible world where every step on the road to progress creates new
problems which will drag civilisation down to the depths
again unless the elite takes charge and applies itself
creatively and scientifically to overcoming these
challenges.
Such an attitude is, of
course, the height of hubris, but this does not concern
Lee.
By the late 1970s Lee was very comfortable with hubris.
He had been almost
single-handedly transforming and re-transforming the physical,
political, linguistic and cultural landscape of Singapore for
nearly two decades. He had been making and breaking careers and
industries, politicians and ideologies, and setting patterns of
work, procreation and education for about two million
people.
He had assumed more control
of his countrymen's lives than the Pope claims over the lives of
Catholics.
Furthermore, by the early 1980s ill health and old age amongst
his colleagues meant that he could now foresee the day when he
would be the last of the "old guard" left in Cabinet a paramount
leader without rivals, rather than a primus inter pares. Lee
himself spoke of the difference this set of retirements has made to
Cabinet.
The old guard leaders were
never compliant and were forthright in their opposition to many of
Lee's policies.
After their retirement, however, he did not "waste time taking
opinions all
around" the Cabinet, but simply told his colleagues what he wanted
and it was up to them to disagree.
One does not have to be a
Western liberal to see that this near-omnipotence and unrivalled
pre-eminence is not healthy for either the nation or the
leader. Lee's new freedom, combined with his
perception that cultural and dysgenic disaster were imminent seem
to have been at the heart of Lee's quixotic approach to politics in
the 1980s.
His eugenics policies and the sinicization programme converged
as the complementary answers to the challenge of the West,
degenerating genes and the search for talent.

I seriously think that Lee Kuan Yew's intellect is below average
person.
I think the average man in the street has a more sound mind than
Lee Kuan Yew.
It makes me wonder, why do clever people want to follow such an
imbecile?
