Benarsenal Turbocharged October 3, 2010 Share October 3, 2010 I know I will get criticised, but I have to say my views. Β Yes, the Lees have done an incredible amount of work to get Singapore to where we are today, but I believe that when your time is up, your time is up. Don't overstay your welcome. Β Great people leave on a high and with dignity, quietly retreating into the background while leaving their legacy intact. To me, it seems that LKY can't seem to let go and needs to continually 'pamper' and meddle with his country. Β It's like Schumacher (well sort of). If he didn't returned then he would be remembered for his great achievements. Now he has a blot on his copybook. Β Yes we should honour their achievements, but let's not put them on a pedestal unnecessarily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Β Well, to be fair, she did contributed her part to the development of modern Singapore, as Naultilus had mentioned in his post earlier. Β However, when as i was watching the pappies whom were interviewed on CNA about the passing of Mrs LKY, i do find their answers being too politically correct. It almost seems like she was being glorified. Β When President Ong Teng Chong died, the responses were seemingly a lot more toned-down in comparison.
