Ladies and Gentlemen,
Just as it was in Nazi Germany, there is one man in Singapore that is everything for everyone, the leader and model citizen, Hitler in Germany and Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore whom everyone tries to emulate. According to Lee, he defeated the Communists, he built the housing complexes, he built the trains, and without him you would not even be here. In other words he is almost God.
We have our doubts of course whether he did all these things as he claims, just as in George Orwell's 1984, people doubted whether Big Brother actually invented the aeroplane, but the troubling part is, his character, which to any normal thinking human being has a great deal to be desired.
He uses corrupt judges to destroy dissidents, gives corrupt favors to his family members by appointing his son prime minister and stealing millions of dollars and claiming it is a salary. In other words a man without scruples who will do anything for power and money; on the whole a very unsavory character, someone who should ordinarily be despised. Not just him but his entire family.
This is where the problem is. His bad character corrupts the entire population. Naturally Singapore mothers wanting a better life for their children create little Lee Kuan Yew's. After all if such dishonesty produced such power and wealth, surely it is the path to success.
That is why today, reading Singapore's state controlled newspapers, there is no shortage of bank robbers, embezzlers, crooks of all nature who steal, cheat and embezzle on a daily basis. It has almost become a country of thieves and nefarious characters. Bank fraudsters and thieves, in keeping with the Lee Kuan Yew philosophy, are dealt with very lightly by the courts even for serious crimes, a mere slap on the wrist. It is almost like saying that since Lee Kuan Yew is the head crook, crooks are acceptable.
Oddly, the ones who receive the short end of the stick are people who in any other place would have been model citizens; educated and intelligent thinking men and women who exercise their right to criticize Lee, but are sent to jail, bankrupted and hounded by Lee's state apparatus their entire lives. Naturally of course many decide to leave the country than take this nonsense.
The average Singaporean today is sadly, a person suffering from uncontrollable avarice and greed, who would take advantage of his fellow man anytime given the opportunity, a man who has no feeling of mercy or compassion and a coward, afraid to stand up for principle.
In other words the average Singaporean has become like their leader, another Lee Kuan Yew.

Parshotham Maan "Which ever policy implemented by the Scholars has a devastating ripple effect on the population and economy long term."
This is one of the tragedies of Singapore.
These academically smart scholars, whose only job has been with Lee Kuan Yew's army, followed by indenture in Lee Kuan Yew's civil service, are given the chance to come up with nincompoop policies that have done irreparable harm to the citizens.

Jaz said... In other words, these so called 'scholars' may have 'brains' but were born without hearts,
... or common sense.
How can one forget their creations:
- Stop at two. Result: population shortage in Singapore.
- Speak Mandarin. Result: Destroyed centuries old dialects and key parts of Singapore's heritage
- FT policy. Result: Keeps wages down at the low end, and at the high-end of jobs denies jobs to Singapore graduates.
- Covered drains & Marina Barrage. Results: Constant floods.
Please keep adding to this list.
