Icedbs Turbocharged September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 (edited) that's right! Singapore to become today is not becos of one man but a team of good men working their socks off for the greatness of the nation. Right now, LKY is like machiam Messi in Braca whom everyone idolize but everyone forgotten the other 10 players in the teams who defend hard, the goalkeeper whom guard the post, the midfielders whom fought hard for control and passing and the other strikers whom supported the star player..... To me, give credit when it is due as he deserved it but do not make him like he is GOD and without him SG will collapse. Without the "other 10 players", you reckon SG can be like today? who know SG is communist country with chin Peng and LKY fate switched around. Bro, in all fairness, it was LKY who chose the other 10 players. And after choosing the 10 players, is was also him who decides which position should they play. LKY is the player, coach and also manager. Give credit where credit is due. Without his foresight of choosing and persuading the right people to join politics, you wouldn't have a good team of men that can help him build this nation Edited September 17, 2013 by Icedbs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 are you sure he see far ahead 20 year time? making his son the current PM don't seem to be a correct choice. I guess it is the only choice that he can made?! Whether correct or not that's beside the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djim 1st Gear September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 It's sad to see the bashing on the forums, where the curses, wishes for an extra public holiday and other unnecessary statements far outweigh those of well abode.

The mainstream media has been so well controlled then that it has been well covered. Now with social media, we see so much more "transparency". Hopefully we won't end up like China with a great wall and no access to FB etc.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about giving him wishes and recognizing his contribution in building this nation from ground up. As for the current generation of leaders and what is happening now, that's totally off-topic. You can start another thread to talk about that if you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
