1fast1 Supersonic July 21, 2013 Share July 21, 2013 (edited) there is such a thing called google...... <_< To be honest, he did some things that are questionable. He was basically the architect of Internet Censorship in Singapore. I consider all censorship to be evil, so I am very much against this. Also, he was the person who mooted (or was chosen to be "figurehead" by higher powers) the idea of establishing casinos in Singapore. Whether this has been a blessing, on balance, is contentious; but certainly many people have always been against this. But he is a smart bloke, and he accomplished some good things for the country, most notably the negotiation of the free trade agreement. Some people support him because he was seen for a while as part of the shadowy anti-LHL camp within the MIW. I regard this as so much stuff-and-nonsense, a poorly-conceived conspiracy theory. During his tenure, GY did almost nothing to really oppose the MIW on critical matters - unlike people like TCB and OTC. Overall, I think he's an effective technocrat and as ministers go, hardly the worst. But was it worth sacrificing him to secure the WP that critical GRC? I'd say yes, definitely, more to come in future, please. No man (including those in white) is indispensable.

For one thing, it's showed those amongst us who are unbiased, intelligent and rational what sore losers the P@P are, with this time-wasting cleaning saga.

1fast1 Supersonic July 21, 2013 Share July 21, 2013 think by now u know bro, dissonance theory actually set in finally. the casino, if i heard him correctly, he had an internal struggle also...and he voiced agst, but well, he was only 1 voice. But he was the one who brought up the proposal in the first place, I think. Doesn't count for a whole lot if he opposed it later. I would've had more respect for him if he'd stood by his principles from the start. What is a man if not for his principles? I can't be sure of this, because it's a hazy recollection. But I remember a televised address by Bill Gates when he visited Singapore - he said that the gahmen had assured him that they would not try to censor the Internet because it was a futile and regressive thing to do. Bill Gates seemed very happy with this (and presumably told all his American friends that we were sound). Shortly after we left, the MDA censorship started, and the architect was George Yeo. What can this behaviour be called, if not disingenuous? and yes, he is one of the 'other' camps as i had told u b4 Maybe. I've heard the same things you have. But what did it really make him *do*? Anyway, I hope you're right on this point if he does win the next PE. Perhaps he'll be the next OTC. I have my doubts, though. But all I can say is that the monsters he's bred when he was in power continue to torment us Netizens after his departure - like the MDA (I'm referring to the $50,000 bond thing, along with the ever-present blocklist). ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
