We need many people like you to be in the opposition,especially retired senior gomen staffs, retired or not(also can join in) just after lky’s demise.

Or perhaps, be a political fan of the opposition to engage the many issues of the day.

That’s what many great singaporeans think so to ensure the political balance in the making.

I think it is just fine to do that, becos afterall at that point of time, it is easier to ‘talk back’ and stand for election.

The great singaporeans are not asking for the sky but atleast they want people to engage politically fresh ideas, bright outlook and brilliant dialogues and many pockets of political forums here and there just to ‘telltale’ the gomen of the day about the wants and needs of the great people of singapore.

The greatest disservice that our Founding Father LKY did to Singapore is muzzle dissent. LKY has done so much for Singapore but I reckon – sadly – that he will not join the ranks of Sun Yat Sen, Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela who are respected and revered by the respective diaspora of Chinese, Indians and Africans across ages and continents!

I suppose, everyone has an Achilles heel somewhere. I also suppose that LKY’s primal survival instincts to preserve “self” and “party” are in his mind intractably enmeshed with “country”. It happens to the best of men when they have been at the same thing for nearly a half-century! Like father, like son, eh? So what else is new?

There’s an ancient 4-character saying in Chinese: “When a tiger dies, it leaves its skin; When a man dies, he leaves his name.”

You could be a shining beacon to our opposition parties as well as our nation. You are right that ‘lee kuan yew’ model would not hold in another 20 years later. A ‘personality-centric’ political system has been proven in history that would not hold. We need to ‘reform’ our political scene.
