It cannot close up like North Korea or the residents will strave.<br /><br />The fear imposed by Lee cannot last forever because the island is changing all the time, the people are exposed to the outside world. The Lees live on economic good times promises for the people.<br /><br />North Korean refugees who escape to the south never have their fears diminished. They suffered guilt of abandoning their Father God Kim The Great Leader and the son Dear Keader Kim Jong Li. They continued to live in fear of punishment from the God Kim. That is the power of fear which Americans will never understand. If the refugees fall sick, they even think it is punishment from Kim.<br /><br />Singaporeans still have fear of Lees, but they are learning to rely on themselves, because of indefference from PAP and too many foreigners. Now, with retirement mo ney question lingering and no acceptable answers from the govt, people are angry. <br />Anger is the antiodote to fear.<br /><br />Let the people be angry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
