The broadsheet Straits Times and the freesheet Today have not published the last question asked in the interview, which can be heard in a five-and-a-half-minute audio clip on the BBC World Service website.<br /><br />The interviewer said: “Finally, Prime Minister, I read that you are apparently the highest paid head of government in the world. Your salary is about four or five times what President Obama gets. Are you worth all that money?”<br /><br />But LHL response is hilarious, "We go on a system which is open, honest, transparent ..."<br /><br />Open, Honest, Transparent are not the words that one would use to describe the LEE FAMILEE.<br /><br />http://therealsingapore.com/content/singapore-newspapers-censor-pm%E2%80%99s-bbc-interview<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-90422827163203261112013-06-13T09:13:17.271-07:002013-06-13T09:13:17.271-07:00The hatred for LKY grows each day, especially from...The hatred for LKY grows each day, especially from young people, who <br />- can't afford a car,<br />- can't afford housing,<br />- can't afford to get married,<br />- can't afford to have kids,<br />- can't get jobs, which go to FTs.<br /><br />Young men have to do NS, which FTs don't have to.<br />They then have reservist's obligations, which FTs don't do.<br /><br />Even the older people are staring to hate LKY.<br />- Their wages have been stagnant for several years<br />- Their children can't get into local universities, because 40% of the places go to foreigners<br />- They can't get at their CPF<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-1751157391307091862013-06-13T02:37:21.494-07:002013-06-13T02:37:21.494-07:00Amen to your comment on how the minorities are &qu...Amen to your comment on how the minorities are "punished" daily by the ethnic Chinese. No one has e guts nor gumption to say it like Gopalan Nair. This "punishment" is not just in the Civil Service though, the private sector is replete with such discrimination. Its just that Granpa Lee has mastered the Art of "Subtle and Insidious Discrimination" which only a bunch of "educated" cronies and Oriental gangsters could have concocted.Aryan-Dravidiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-28807233968246926042013-06-10T04:13:34.422-07:002013-06-10T04:13:34.422-07:00Justice Philip pillai was also 'retired' v...Justice Philip pillai was also 'retired' very soon after making a couple of independent decisions.
