I am extremely disturbed by Lee Kuan Yew's racist beliefs.
Around this time you were discussing the succession to PM
Lee?
Lee Kuan Yew had been discussing this since about 1983. At that
time, the second echelon was Tony Tan, S. Dhanabalan, Goh Chok Tong
and myself.
Were you a candidate for the top job?
I was considered as a member of the group. At that time, we did not
know who would be the successor to Lee. We finally made the
decision to pick Goh Chok Tong. He agreed on condition that I
agreed to be his number two. So I was the second DPM; he was the
first DPM. In 1988, Lee asked Goh to take over, but he was not
ready. He said: two more years. So two years later, he took the
job.
Lee did not agree with your decision to pick
Goh.
No, he did not disagree. He said he would leave it to us. His own
first choice was Tony Tan. Goh Chok Tong was his second choice. I
was his third choice because he said my English was not good
enough. He said Dhanabalan was not
right because Singapore was not ready for an Indian prime minister.
That upset the Indian community. There was
quite a bit of adverse reaction to what he said. But he speaks his
mind.
He is the only one who can
get away with it.

Why Singapore not ready for indian prime minister?
David Marshall was a jew, he was the first chief minister of
Singapore, We had two indian Presidents, Devan Nair and the current
Nathan and also JBJ as opposition MP.
I have no problems whatsoever if JBJ was prime minister.
I am completely ready for JBJ as prime minister.
And come mon lah, Lee Kuan Yew, you are also from peranakan
minority group.
What right do you have to go and judge other minority
groups?
Are you from chinese majority group?
No wah.
You are from peranakan minority group.
Still want to go and judge other minority groups as if you are
from chinese majority group.
What the fuck is that Lee Kuan Yew?
Just what the fuck is all this?
What the motherfucking fuck is all this fucking racial shit
about Lee Kuan Yew?
