Bro get your fact right before opening your mouth. Who say pap was started by LKY?
Credit must be given to him for what he did but not how he seize power from the original leader of pap and conspire with British to throw them into jail
ask yourself if a war would happen then, which side would the Singapore Malay fight for. Singapore or our Malay dominated neighbour? plus there were other reasons too.
Now apart from not being recruited for certain military professions , they were given level playing field in Singapore. Infact they were given more. e.g more subsidies in education than the chinese.
More importantly things has change now.
You sure? Have you seen an malay rsaf pilot? Malay commando? Malay general?
LKY himself said to trust malay with gpmg is a dangerous thing to do.
A good business guy always get the best guy to do the job irregardless of his race and nationality. if a FT can do a better job, give him the job. nothing wrong with that.

To all those assholes who benefitted from Mr Lee Kuan Yew's hard work, dun keep harping on the undesirables and feeling sore about not being treated equally, be fair to him for sacrificing his entire life to building a Nation out of nothing.
Be thankful for what we have enjoyed under his 'rule'. He is a true King, a true Emperor, a true Leader.

There are Malay Rsaf pilots. For F-16, Super P and also Fokker 50..
Why debate over all this? I request Mod to delete this thread if there is so much argument over a person who have passed on.. It already defeated the purpose..
He was harsh, intolerant, machiavellian, repressive, fierce and authoritarian at times. He locked up dissidents and sued political oppositions.
He was not right all the time, and he received fair amount of criticisms.
P.S. I don't support the current pap cuz i feel they are self serving,, but the first gen pap were awesome.
Well said, as a soccer fan, you can think of the Fergie era when Man U won tons of trophies with his "hair dryer" approach to management. After he stepped down, how many trophies have they won?
Though unpopular and even despised, that's unfortunately how you get results.
I have been to Taiwan twice. Whenever their people asked me where I am from and I replied them, they will exclaim "Ah... Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore!".
Totally agree. Taiwan enjoyed economic prosperity under harsh rulership (which had the support of big brother USA) which even had martial law imposed for decades. But nowadays, Taiwanese lament at how their country has stagnated compared to us.
Every taxi driver will always tell me how fortunate we are because of our government and LKY

Happy to see bros here not only let their small heads rule
Agree with you that Mod should delete this thread. Our social fabric was painstakingly built to ensure racial and religious harmony amongst ourselves, and can be so fragile. We don't need idiots to play the "racial card"
He is one man that deserved my respect. The younger generation may not know him well but I hope they will at least respect and learn what he has done for us, Singaporeans. He has walked the walk and I wish him rest in peace.
We need more ministers like him. Not the current batch. All NATOs.
Mr. Lee,
YOU are the Best! Salute.
Winter

Yet how many countries actually progress from third world to first in just forty years? Let alone a small, resource-less country with different ethnic groups.. Everyone of us has the chance to be successful and get to chiong.
Even his harshest critics acknowledge his achievements and his legacy-- a small but prosperous and modern Singapore.
For that, he deserves the highest recognition.

TS, you r right...他是强人,不是完人...What he did for Singapore is remarkable. I have no doubt of his strong love for this small country & her people...Singapore is his abiding passion...For those self righteous who criticized his way of governing this country, crushing his opponents bla bla bla, I doubt your love for this little red dot is even 10% of LKY's. So stop being critical as if you r a victim or a most righteous person.
