abao SG ya, hes probably fitter than me. thats true, without him Singapore's economy and education standards might not be as strong as today. but if its in good hands, why not take a rest? afterall, the official age for retirement is 65...
gangsterkillar SG MM Lee has done good for the country, made Spore into a well known financial centre. Hmmm......... dunno bout tis part. According to my checks on the bks, he was only there to take the credit, while others really " built the country!"
iveco SG I still feel that he should make way for younger ministers and stop wasting taxpayers money on new positions just to accommodate him. Which other country has the Senior Minister and Minister Mentor posts in their Cabinet?
fymk SG That is mean ......as much as I may not agree with LKY . I would not tell him to kick the bucket after all he did the nation a big favour . I will just say " Mr lee , time for you to retire and yang lao ...relax after all ur hardwork in Singapore - maybe go england and enjoy the company of the queen or someone .....take your time ....never mind Singapore....Singapore is in good hands ...so take a long long long looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time and spend it all over the world . Enjoy your retirement "
Medicated Oil SG His insistence in staying in the election can only be portrayed as the inability to let go of the power. It is just like Prince Charles vs Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen seem to live forever. The present PM have already so many secretary and ministers in assisting him that the Budget is solely built for paying a bunch of people that dun generate economic value or capital. I sincerely hope that the PM can stand as a leader and act as a leader without any shadow behind him. Let him fight his own battle with his chosen men. Any interference from any BIG M would spoil the image of the PM in dealing the matters as a LEADER.
iveco SG Likening LKY to QE2 is like comparing apples with oranges. The latter is not obliged to abdicate and hand the throne to Charles (or William), whereas LKY, when he handed over the Premiership to GCT in 1990, would be expected to fade quietly away into the shadows. THe same would be expected of GCT 2 years ago when he passed the reins to LHL.
countdracula SG lky once said he’ll rise from the grave if he believes sg is in trouble…not sure if jesus likes the competition…
laurence82 SG i think speech was, that if he was being lowered into the grave, and there is something wrong , he will come out of the coffin
hiphop2009 SG lol......do u noe dat he is a "guide" to other ministers in the parliment?....dat is y he is a "minister mentor".........a mentor to other minister.......probably when other ministers hav prob dey will go consult him.........he is experienced......probably explains y dat he is useful in the parliment n wans to continue contributing......when he cant contribute n yet wans to remain in parliment, den u call dat unwillingly to let go of power....... thai's prime minister thaksin his family also owns loads of assets......lolx......
Atobe SG This is serious bizness - somebody protecting PAPa A statement coming from a "Smoked Salman" with a mind of a PRIME MULE
