You know what,i do respect what MM Lee has contributed to
Singapore in the past.That is why my thread stated that "he should
retired",not ask him to go n die!!!.......
But let us face it,everyone need to know his/her ability n know
when he/she need to step down n let those young ppl takeover their
place.Look at Communist China,and even Communist Vietnam,those old
leader when they handover their position to the successor,they also
totally retired from their position n their leadership
position.Needless to say,democracy countries already practice this
long time ago.
But look at Lou Lee,he still occupy an important seat in the
parliament.[b]Getting an income that is
higher than that of a U.S president.Dont u think it is too
much!!!!I think a brave man not only know how to go
forward,but also know when to step backward.They also know when to
be firm,and when to apologize when making mistakes.Know when to
step up,and when to step down.And unfortunately,Lou Lee is not this
kind of brave man.[/b]
Fully agree, there nothing wrong for him to contribute further
if LKY thinks that he is still ''fit''.
But one thing perturb me is.....he seemed to be accumulating his
wealth with ridiculous sky high salary, dividends,perks, chairmen
fees and etc without ending.
I think is time for him to contribute his wealth to aid the poors
or needy...like many successful businessmen and businesswomen of
the world contributed in their personal capacity. Not just LEE
Foundation making glory in its name.
