As to your opinion that if Lee dies...To Anonymous,<br /><br />As to your opinion that if Lee dies nothing much will change, I must disagree. Singapore is suffering from a rot at it's very foundations as we speak. Singaporeans are leaving the island en masse, children are not born, and Lee is struggling with a lack of skilled immigrants. Mostly they are from China and lack the English language. <br /><br />When Lee dies, the saftey that investors and everyone else relied on will disappear. Lee's son does not instil confidence in anyone. It cannot last once this happens. Remember, Russia can tolerate some dissidents. It has a huge population. Singapore has no more than 2 million native born. This tiny number is not sufficient to withstand such an upheaval. <br /><br />With or without Lee's death Singapore will fall. His death only adds a boost.

Sing...I totally agree with eveything you have said. Singapore is run by a gang of gangsters. This is NOT an overstatement.<br /><br />Singaporeans live in a silent fear of treading on the govt, especially anything Lee family related. Your case in another reminder of how they keep their people afraid of free speech.<br /><br />Lees prefered strategy to destroy any criticism is legal retaliation. They bleed you financially dry with drawn out litigation.<br /><br />Most Singaporeans hate the Lees but they are held at the throat (i.e. legal retaliation) should they speak critically.<br /><br />Lee makes his money through the Lee & Lee law practice that gets pretty much all juicy govt legal work - anything HDB related they get it. It's a money machine.<br /><br />Almost all Singaporeans are waiting for the old man to die. But I do not think much will change this complacent culture.<br /><br />Keep up your good work.
