Aiya our ancestors are all from china. Why quarrel?
Anyway, Singapore has a great geographical position and hence,
Singapore will prosper. It is because of Lee's good planning,
that's why Singapore prosper more rapidly than other states like
Shenzhen, Shanghai, shantou, KL?
In contrast, Taiwan is freakly 120km away from nearest point of
China and even further from other countries. Their geographical
position is bad. Its already pretty amazing that they are still
quite a rich nation. Normally countries which are so isolated from
the rest of the world are usually third world countries relying
heavily on agriculture. Being not a rich nation, it is also no
surprise that there is always a shift in political power because
people living there will not be contented.
I watched the video. Here's the main points they raised.
1) Lee Dynasty. They said Lee are set to rule generation after
generation (sorta)
Actually, Singapore did protest against LHL being Prime Minister
several times. It is because LHL has undergone many hardships
(cancer, first wife died after giving birth to an albino) and LHL
has always come back strongly after each setbacks that we believe
that LHL is also a man of capability. LHL has also contested in
General election for his constituency several times and won.
2) Singaporeans dont live happier than Taiwaneses
This is just their opinion. If we are not happy with our standard
of living, would we have voted for PAP time after time? Fact is
about 66% of Singaporeans are contented every election. In the 2002
election, PAP was given a strong mandate of 80%+ to combat
911.
3) Temasek holdings
Ya. Most of us already know about this already. Temasek's holdings
is a really rich organisation (top 100 in the world?) and it is
mostly owned by Lee...Hahahahahahahaha. I do not know what to say.
Corruption? exploitation of power? Within the rules?
I am not an arts person so this is just my personal rant. Probably
lots of errors in my argument.
