I feel annoyed too about young people in here belittling MM Lee.
Saying stupid things like when is he going to die?
How low will you people go?
While I agree with most that MM Lee rules with an iron fist (in the
past), have you ever stopped to ask - did he have other choice
during the formulative years, Singapore's existence was at stake.
We were then poor and desperate.
I think many of us have forgotten that for a fact.
A great man is a great man, there is no one in this ungrateful
world that can deny this.
The main problem with MM Lee is - he does not play to the galley or
crowd. He knows what is best for Singapore and he dived straight
into tackling those basic issues he knew he had to do in order to
bring Singapore forward - like providing jobs and housing, and
bringing in investments.
At that time, there was nobody capable or brave enough to do it, in
fact some were instead bent on seeing Singapore fail.
OK, I agree somewhere along the line MM Lee made some mistakes
unpurposely but then again which policitician did not?
