Wow, the anti-LKY sentiments here are really strong...
I personally don't like recent policies, I totally disagree with
LKY on many things, but sometimes when you look at it objectively,
you may get the feeling "shit, I hate it, but he's right".
LKY's means-to-the-end may not be the best, you may strongly
question his agendas, but call it a side-effect if you like,
Singapore is the richest country among our neighbors.
But the credit to that is not his alone definitely, it's
also credited to his old Guard team.
If LKY goes, investors may lose confidence, and start pulling
out, resulting in higher unemployment rate. Who's to hold the
mantle then? The STI may plunge like nobody's business. What's very
worrying is whether anyone in the current govt setup can have his
vision and courage to do the right thing.
Like Civilgoh said, people get pissed off, and I do too. But I'm
not sure what other alternative we have. The current ones aren't
too promising, well, thanks to LKY, some of you might say.
Just my 2cts worth opinion.
