PAP = Qing Dynasty ?
The Qing Dynasty was a continuous series
of successors from the bloodline of a
single Royal Family that began in 1616 till 1911.
The PAP has no royal blood and claims no title to any.
The PAP Government is a grouping of individuals hanging on to
political power through sheer instinct at political survival.
If there is any comparison for Singapore, it has to be renamed
as the Singapore Lee Dynasty to the North Korea Kim Dynasty - as
the lines are close enough.
Both adopt the Stalinist grip on the political life of the
country and its people.
Both government depend on the secret police to keep tabs on the
activities of their communities and society at large.
Both rely on paranoid and monopolistic grip over
all press and broadcast medias.
Both believe in the supremacy of the vision and talent of the
Supreme Leader.
Both supreme leaders believe in their infinite relevance and
importance for the proper advancement of the country.
Both believe in the supremacy of their genetic lineage.
Reviewing the leadership succession path of Singapore and
North Korea, it bears close resemblance except that the Singapore
version had to take a modest interval to conceal the obvious.
Prior to LHL stepping into politics, his meteoric rise through
the military was beyond comparision to any military except in North
Korea.
North Korean Leadership succession is
almost similar to Singapore's - with the Supreme Leader
making his selection of his own son, and the preparation
work begins.
The propaganda machinery will go into overtime, the career path
is prepared to allow for a polished image that shines with
leadership quality.
Before Kim Jong-il succeeded his father Kim Il-sung, the father
had arranged for junior to take on some leadership role in the
center of all North Korean political and military affairs.
At least in North Korea, there were at least two coup attempts
ti remove the father and son Kims, but traitors and carpet beggars
revealed the plots, the conspirators died horrible deaths.
After Kim Il-sung died in 1994, Kim Jong-il
succession was not immediate, and had to be cautiously
stage-managed, with him not appearing for more then eight months
after the death of his father.
Now, that Kim Jong-il's health is said to be deteriorating, he
has announced his choice of successor by naming his 24-year
old second son - Kim Jong-un, who was educated in Berne,
Switzerland; and said to be an introvert
Without any military training, young Kim Jong-un has now been appointed as Military Chief of North Korean Armed
Forces - which parallels the efforts in Singapore.
North Korea's new 24 year old Military
Chief.
The North Koreans have seen the third successive generation
providing political leadership for the country.
Will this ignite the vain ambitions of the Old Man of Singapore
?
Now dont insult Kim Jong-un, i am sure he must have
some military experience, there are lots of real time strategy
games on the market. At the very least, he must have
played a game of chess before.
