SPH kenna from LWL

[Tianmo]

Which goes directly back to LWL's accusation right?  

She's basically accusing LHL of selling out - which is what you have just said, putting politics above honour. 

 

If that's what he thinks is right - that's his decision to make, just as LWL has made her decision.  

 

And that decision can be respected, but it cannot be spun as anything other than what it is. 

 

 

obviously she has her right to make her own decision...........as it is with any member of a family..............but the thing here is ...........they are not any family..............there is a direct and indirect impact with what goes on with the family..........and given her intelligent.......I want to believe she knows better than to bring it out in public this way...........

[Kusje]

seriously I am not shock.........

 

Having read many write ups by LWL.........hearing about her character from friends.............seeing her behavior personal at NUH..........it is no surprise to me at all..........

 

this can happen to any family............any party........of course it can happen to the Lee family and the PAP..............they are human also..............and as long as there is human............there will be issues...........

 

Having said these...............it also means this can happen to any opposition party.............there is basically no different..........

 

why would they want to give chance to opposition to develop???............it is up to the parties to develop themselves...............not asking an opponent to give chance...........

 

He is saying that Singaporeans should give the opposition a chance to develop (not PAP give chance la....)

 

As to why Singaporeans should encourage opposition, this parable is quite apt (note, not written by me ah - don't say what plagiarize this or that )

 

 

Long time ago, God put two flocks of sheep on grassland: one group at north and one group at south. God also gave them two types of native predator: Lion and wolf.

God told the sheep: "If you choose wolf, I shall give you one, and it's allowed to bite you at its will. If you choose lion, I shall give you two, and you are allowed to choose anyone from the two of them to stay on the grassland, and you can replace it at any time.”

 

So, the question is: If you are one of the sheep, what will you choose? A wolf or two lions?

It's easy to make your choice, right? Remember your choice, and continue with our story.

The sheep at the south thought that lions are more fiercely than wolf, so they picked a wolf.

The sheep at the north thought that although lions are more fiercely than wolf,but they have the option to choose, so they took two lions.

The wolf started eating the sheep once it entered the herd at the south. The wolf was smaller and it had smaller appetite. One sheep is enough to appease its hunger for days. So the sheep only were hunted once a few days.

 

The sheep at the north chose a lion and leave another one with God. The lion started eating sheep once it entered the herd at the north. The lion was more fiercely than the wolf and it had much larger appetite. It needed to eat a sheep each day to keep its stomach full. So the sheep is hunted everyday, and they were very afraid.

 

They asked God to replace the lion. But the lion that stayed with the God has not been eaten anything and it was very hungry. It pounced on the sheep and bite like crazy. The sheep had to run for their life everyday until they didn't have time to eat.

 

The sheep at the south were grateful that they made the right choice, and they laughed at the sheep at the north for being stupid and chose the wrong predator.

 

The sheep at the north repented for their choice. They complained to God, and asked God to change their native predator to a wolf. But God said: “No. Once the native predator was chosen, it cannot be changed anymore. You must live with it forever. Your only option is to choose between the two lions.” The sheep at the north have to keep rotating the two lions.

 

But both lions were the same. Both of them showed no mercy. No matter how they rotate the lions, their situation was always much more miserable than the sheep at the south. At last, they stop rotating. They kept a lion full all the time while letting another one suffered in hunger. They only replaced the lions when the suffering lion was dying.

 

After a long time of hunger, the suffering lion realized that: Even they are much stronger than the sheep, but its fate is controlled by the sheep.The sheep can send him back to God anytime, and let him suffer and die in hunger.

 

So it treated the sheep very nice, it only ate the dead and the old sheep and it wouldn't eat the healthy sheep. The sheep felt very surprise and happy. Some of the younger sheep even suggested letting the suffering lion to stay forever. But one of the elder reminded them: “The lion treats us good because it is afraid that we’ll send it back to the God. If we let another lion die, we'll left with no choice and the suffering lion will return to its nature and starts hunting us again.” The sheep agreed with the elder. To prevent another lion starve to death, they replaced it after a few weeks.

 

And the lion also realized that its fate is controlled by the sheep. In order to stay longer on the grassland, the lion tried its best to please the sheep.Another lion felt so sad that it had to suffer hunger again.

 

After experiencing such a hard time, the sheep at the north finally can enjoy themselves.

 

At the mean time, the situation of the sheep at the south became worse and worse, because the wolf had no competitor and the sheep couldn't replace it. It started to act wildly.  It had to kill ten sheep everyday. It didn't eat sheep anymore. It only drank their blood. The sheep were not allowed to make a sound because they would be killed by the wolf if they do so.

 

In the end, the sheep at the south could only bemoan: “We should choose the lions in the first place......”

Deep down LHL would know that LWL has a valid point. But the greater goal is the long term survival of PAP.  He rather sacrifice a breakdown in his relationship with his sister, which could be temporary anyway, than PAP.

The election results proved how powerful a weapon LKY's death is and can continue to be harnessed upon. They will continue overplaying the death anniversary , especially through media (must have already started working on yet another batch of interviews to be published in ST in 2017) , for a few more years until it gets permanently imprinted on people's mind , especially the youth, which will guarantee a smooth path for PAP for a long time to come.

Most us would do the same if we were in LHL's shoes.

 

just how much and how long can it last???............it will just dilute with time..............we all know that...........

 

every great man will have his history played over and over again for a few years..............but that will come to an end when it sld end.........by force of nature.........it will just cool off..................but if it helps with immediate effect.................why not............

3-4 more years with gradual downplaying would be sufficient looking at how gullible our youth are.

So there is something special about this family? 

What exactly would that be? 

 

While I acknowledge the reality that what they say is going to be much more closely followed because of who they are, the family is not "special" in anyway. 

 

Their ideas and opinions only carry the weight of the quality of the thought - no more or less than that because of who they or who their father was.  Such an idea makes a mockery of the idea of meritocracy. 

 

At the end of the day - they are people, and are subject to the same motivations, jealousies and insecurities that motivate any one of us - to think of a family "annoited" as being special or different or better is anathema to me, and to the ideals of Singapore. 

 

Sure - they should have settled this privately, that would have been the proper way of doing things - just as it would have been for you or me.  What seems increasingly obvious is that there is a rift in the family - and disagreement.  Much as I think it would have been better for LWL to settle things with her brother privately, and also for the PM to behave as a brother rather than as a thin skinned leader, I am in no position to advise either one of them.  Not least of which because, no matter how public this spat has become, you can be sure that we are only privy to a very small fraction of all that has gone on behind the scenes.

Yes agree n sister in law (hc) should not get involved in any brother sister or sibling rivalry issue and just play a listening role only, did not expect this finger pointing like on highway behavior of overtaking or potong jalan-ing which we in experience quite regularly on roads nowadays, ok lah! she must be driving on the road herself just like us Other Ranks; Singapore Stress Lah!!
