Singapore is a good example of what a true leader with good leadership can do for a country. Imagine, what Malaysia can achieve if we have leadership like LKY.

[@teyhoonboon5853]

Lee Kuan Yew is a true hero for people to emulate his life of ambitious, courage and high determination to develop the island from zero to world class nation of Singapore.

Leapfrogged by having 2 casinos in Singapore since 2010

While affirming the leadership of LKY and the pioneer generation of leaders, we must also be grateful to the Western world for the nurturing of Singaporean talents including LKY himself, cabinet ministers, many top civil servants and entrepreneurs. The industrialisation and influx of capital and technology transfer during the 70s-90s, and last 2 decades building a world financial centre, were mostly funded and catalysed by Western countries (US and Europe) and Japan.

Some from zero to hero; some hero to zero, worse still to villains.

Hope the mastermind to drill a geothermal well in the centre of Singapore be exposed as it had created a 5.5 Richter quake in Pohang, South Korea in 2017. We cannot afford to have even a 4.0 Richter quake as our many underground tunnels and buildings will be collapsed. As LKY says, "... this is not a game of cards. This is your life and mine."

Yet Mr. Cotton thinks Singapore is another country

But singapore had changed to a multi-nation country, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back, only way is to death end.
