Yup...that pretty much sums up his mindset.
Corruption is fine, so long as the country prospers. Hello?
Corruption is corruption no matter how you try and mitigate it.
Stealing money because you need to feed your family is still a
crime, despite the nobility of it.
Is our MM Lee completely SENILE?! Going around mouthing such trash
to reporters? Why not add on a few extra lines: oh no, Suharto was
stupid. He should have legitimised a pay rise for his
'administrators' so it's legal and he wouldn't be charged.
Duh
