201= Li Kong yau......... 4= si?.....

that's right! Singapore to become today is not becos of one man but a team of good men working their socks off for the greatness of the nation.

 

Right now, LKY is like machiam Messi in Braca whom everyone idolize but everyone forgotten the other 10 players in the teams who defend hard, the goalkeeper whom guard the post, the midfielders whom fought hard for control and passing and the other strikers whom supported the star player.....

 

To me, give credit when it is due as he deserved it but do not make him like he is GOD and without him SG will collapse.

Without the "other 10 players", you reckon SG can be like today? who know SG is communist country with chin Peng and LKY fate switched around.

 

Bro, in all fairness, it was LKY who chose the other 10 players. And after choosing the 10 players, is was also him who decides which position should they play.

 

LKY is the player, coach and also manager.

 

Give credit where credit is due. Without his foresight of choosing and persuading the right people to join politics, you wouldn't have a good team of men that can help him build this nation

are you sure he see far ahead 20 year time?

 

making his son the current PM don't seem to be a correct choice.

I guess it is the only choice that he can made?! Whether correct or not that's beside the point.

It's sad to see the bashing on the forums, where the curses, wishes for an extra public holiday and other unnecessary statements far outweigh those of well abode.

nobody rightfully don't acknowledge that HE contributed to Singapore; but you must also remember; today, the generation of leaders are rewarding themselves more than any leaders in the world and so they are paid in due for their work already and hence equally if they cannot perform they should also be removed, BUT the latter is not the case, INSTEAD they are further rewarded with a good job in another semi-government agency; if HE is truly a great leader would people be so blind as to fault HIM now, we don't see that happening to the likes of Mandela

well.. making his son the current PM IS his choice.. no matter right or wrong..

 

I personally feel that LKY did a great job bringing singapore to its position.. but after he left the PM seat, everything seems to be going the wrong direction..

 

what happened to that drive and legacy he once had...

Many Singaporean are not aware of what you are referring to. The mainstream media has been so well controlled then that it has been well covered.

 

Now with social media, we see so much more "transparency". Hopefully we won't end up like China with a great wall and no access to FB etc..

Bro, this thread is about LKY's birthday. It's about giving him wishes and recognizing his contribution in building this nation from ground up.

 

As for the current generation of leaders and what is happening now, that's totally off-topic. You can start another thread to talk about that if you want.

I cannot agree with you because many of the leaders today are there because HE said OK, unless they are small flies
