It's true that someone will have to do the job if its not him.
But definitely not any ordinary Tom, Dick or Harry. I guess most
people who take up that heavy responsibility will either fail or
give up halfway. But he has been persevering there for more than 40
years already. Yes, his wealth is undeniable. But think of the
CEO of the company you are working in, driving big fancy cars,
living in huge mansion. Rich also. That's because he got the
ability and opportunity. Can't LKY enjoy some of these as one of
the country's leader too? Cannot expect him to be poorer than one
of us right?
He is no God of course, I dun worship him. The 2-child policy
was made in 1972, which is 40 years ago. How can anyone predict
what can happen in 40 years time? Now is 2011, what's the vision
for 2051? Quite impossible to tell.
What I mean is, its no easy to make big decisions for millions
of people. Some decisions can be wrong, or can be right, I think
things may be more complicated than that. I may be naive, or easy
to fool. But I just see that our lives in Singapore is good, is ok,
and that's the bottom line. And I feel sore seeing people cursing
at an elder to die. :(
i tell you. i predicted it then. many of my kopi tian uncles
freidns then predicted it. seee even now lots of minitsers are
doing statistcis rpediction. so unless you tell mehe never pass his
maths he cannot predict it? grow up lah.
