This interview is the most human side of him I have seen

 

Or perhaps Singapore press only dare to/choose to portray him as Superman

 

So at the end , no one is immune from life

[Piyopico]

Yes, frailty is seen by me for the first time.

 

A great man for his time.

[Damienic]

A great man need not persistently resort to law suits to protect his reputation. He would have command greater respect if he had not done so..

[Piyopico]

All great men have their shortcomings in one form or another.

 

Like I say, he was a great man for his time.

[Dpsk]

poor thing. even til end still put up a front. he seems to be afraid that singapore will fall without him. if that is so, does it mean he has no confident in his son and the million dollar ministars?

[Alheych]

no man is an island

[Picanto]

without him, where would we be now?

[Damienic]

All great men have their shortcomings in one form or another.

 

Like I say, he was a great man for his time.

 

He is no doubt a great leader...but a lot of the things he did was for a selfish hidden agenda too...

[Picanto]

and what is hidden?

[Damienic]

and what is hidden?

 

do we need to discuss more here? I believe many would know what I'm referring to.

"Younger people worry him, with their demands for more political openness and a free exchange of ideas, secure in their well-being in modern Singapore.

He did his part for singapore, doing both good and bad stuff in the process. it's time for him to move on and retire. And not hold on to power.

 

now, he is just like a broken recorder. his way of governing singapore no longer works in this day and age, with the advent of the internet and with globalisation.

 

please retire before singapore sinks even deeper.
