Othello Supersonic April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 why the preference for Gurkha guards? They are thought to be impartial, and most importantly fearless. Esp during 60s racial riots, they proved themselves. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Supersonic April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 Lol i think its a good choice to demolish the house as past years the area there not allowed to build highrises. Now with demolition, Oxley road area can develop more and build more condos instead of bungalows But even they don't demolish the house, now they still can develop the area since LKY no longer staying there, so no need to be in high security mode liao. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F355 Turbocharged April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 LKY is a truly practical , no nonsense and yet humble man . He has mentioned in his book Hard Truths the reason why he wanted 38 Oxley Rise to be demolished . He has also signed the AMD , which mandates the pulling of the plug after he is certifed brain dead . Hence, on same token , I will not at all be surprised if he had given instructions to his family on how his death is to be dealt with . No public holidays , and the dates and time of his death announcement , and his funeral , caused minimal disruptions to the economy and daily lives of SIngaporeans. Announce at 4am Monday morning , funeral procession Sunday . Business as usual . 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business as usual . yup, my wife and I were considering whether to go to the padang during the lying-in-state to queue up for parliament house. After talking about it for a bit, we decided to go to the nearby CC for the community tribute site. We said that if LKY was alive, he would have told us to don't waste time, get it over and done with and go back to work! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
