Singapore is "like the durian"; try and squeeze it, you get hurt: Lee Kuan Yew | From the archives

[@jacobrichard369]

As a Malaysian, feeel so ashame to watch but at the same time feel really proud for our neighbour Singapore and would never stop imagining how Malaysia would be if it falls into LKY's leadership at that time!!!!

[@xcjsmith5310]

It is always about racial supremacy in Malaysia and yet there is no improvement. Just like LKY say, we stayed in Malaysia and have our juice squeezed dry. Who pay the most tax ? The minority.

[@nicrome]

Difficult, they wanted to unalive him at that time, no choice have to split

SG’s Lee Kuan Yew…. My Favourite Dictator who Founded one of the most Prolific Predatory Profit Run Criminal Enterprises masquerading as Government… Hilarious 😂🎉❤

[@ltll612]

He has that spark and determination in his eyes...

[@Diderot68]

World class orator and a great leader. I believe those who complain about him are not just losers, but bad losers. Just see how much he has changed my family’s lives, no wonder my parents would vote for him without batting an eye.

[@SGrailadventure2004]

His eyes and speeches says it all well!

[@josephyeo6966]

This is the best come back to someone who tried to bully you.

[@silverlining1468]

His promise "we will progress", and progressed it did.. 😢. Remarkable leader. Rip LKY.

[@jjvon6578]

LKY's prediction has always right.

[@kengtzewei1]

Unfortunately Sabah & Sarawak were not durians then, or else we would've been on par with Singapore. We were more like mangosteens

[@siuman1124]

More like sugar cane.

[@farouqomaro598]

@yUrNeRo98 Haha... actually the southern parts of the Philippines were a part of Sabah😅

[@desmondchee9976]

They throw out the durian cos they couldn't squeeze it. When it was out, perhaps it was thought it would go bad and become softer. It didn't turn out that way. Adversity even made it stronger. Now the durian has been transformed and gone international all over the world.

[@Marchkite]

Please stop milking the old man. Rip sir.

Lee Kuan Yew aka the most feared dictator of Southeast Asia. And look how mighty SG is today. We need more dictators like LKY, the iron fist leader. "Smart dictatorship" is what developing countries need. LKY mastered this craft. The greatest dictator who got away with alleged crimes = the legendary LEE KUAN YEW

singapore is the world's biggest shopping arcade and their security guards are the world's most sophisticated in protecting the premises and its chinese dominated tenants while its complex management is called the government with the board of tenancy called itself the parliament.

[@anziar3038]

The PAP govt strives to build a strong economy. Those associated with the oppositions strive to destroy it with lies and deceptions as evident in the numerous pofmas issued to them.

[@khaosmue2114]

Nonsense. The current Govt destroyed themselves. The opposition in this generation are the ones holding the fort.

You vote in dud lords like 👇 Pritam Singh (lying in court, throwing Khan under the bus when can't cover up anymore, mismanage AHTC funds), Leong Mun Wai (xenophobe, nativist, populist, FB parliamentarian), Lim Tean (criminal who stole client's monies), Chee Soon Juan (criminal, wolf under sheep's skin, bad-mouth Singapore with western media) "you work hard, you work hard to NOTHING" That's why if you want the PAP team to continue this track record started by Founding Father Lee Kuan Yew, you HAVE TO vote for PAP. Never think that they will surely win and vote for others, against who you actually want to govern. This leads to freak results from happening. Let's make no mistake, none in the current opposition side has the mettle, the competence, the integrity and accountability to govern.

Selling the koyok that development only takes place here. He recieved hand outs. The arrogance, loves the sound of his own voice. Hogging the mic, snatching the mic from others and silencing them. Recieving external help. While touting himself as saviour, with self praise. The same conceited habits, SOP and is practiced today.

[@nathanaelchia7167]

And where would we be otherwise? With the Malays, as an exploited poor territory? With the WP, poor and underdeveloped?

He is naive! If China wants to invade Singapore: Step 1: Issues ultimatum for all foreigners and millionaires to leave the island within one week. Step 2: Accepts Singapore's surrender after one week. Ha ha ha!
