Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel – World’s tallest statue

India has outdone everyone in building the world’s largest statue of its leaders, twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in the US. And it costs only $560m. This is small change for the next super power in the making. This Sardar was also known as the Iron Man for united a feuding India of many states, something akin to what Mao Zedong had done for China. For such a great feat he rightly deserved to be so highly honoured, a very tall order.
 

Asians have traditionally been associated with glorifying their dead leaders and for building huge monuments to show their love and affection for their leaders. India is no exception and little Singapore is also following this trend. Though Singapore is more seen as a western country with western thinking, this Asian trait is still deeply rooted in the psychic of its western educated natural Aristocrats.
 

Singapore is going to build a monument for its founding leaders. 560 hectares of prime land, the most expensive land in the island, has been carved out for this purpose. How much would this land cost, plus the buildings it could build on it? Priceless!
 

Before this Sardar statue, Singapore has no good western role models to fall back on to build gigantic monuments. To imitate what the North Koreans did would definitely attract criticism that Singapore is becoming a small replica of North Korea. This $560m statue in India is a welcome news. India is Singapore’s role model,Indian fever, the biggest democracy. Singapore aspires to be like India and is importing millions of Indians here to transform the culture and DNA to be more Indian like and to benefit future generations of Indian’s super talent gene pool. An ideal Singapore family is an Indian husband and a Chinese wife as in many advertisement. Use to be an European man and a local girl.
 

Now Singapore can say India is doing it, and spent $560m on it. Singapore can definitely do better if not at least equal what India spent for its monument to honour its dear leader. Just wondering if Singapore would put up a statue as big and tall as India to be the tallest in the world, all for a good cause of course. It would be money well spent, every cent of it.
 

What do you think?

All these farking MORONS built all these useless Statutes or what's Tallest Bullshits just to outdo one another and one upmanship.

Based on their whims and fancies of mentally disturbed people or person.

They are just blinded that their own citizens are still scavenging for food and living in slums and ghettos.

Wear shirts Without pants and vice versa. Many unemployed in their midst.

These monies cloud be put to better use.

Ill gotten wealth sinkies are behaving like these MORONS.

Built what's farking Memorial just to perpetuate their Rule by still reminding the people of their achievements but NOT their flaws.

How tall? it is in the mind and opinion of each individual human being, not in measurement of length.

Building statues of past leaders are boondoggles Singapore can dispense with. It serves no purpose other than creating political capital for the PAP. The money can be used to improve the lives of the masses instead of dissipating it on white elephant projects. A small country can do without a cult of personality.

India should have built the biggest and tallest statutes of a group of sex-starved, wild and vicious rapists rapping a young 13 year-old girl. That would represent India of old and present, and probably also the future.

Rb, I suggest we build 100 storeys high statue of all our founding fathers I think at least 8. Lky statue must be a bit taller. There should be built around the island facing outside. There should be lifts taking people up. Can you imagine the tourists attraction plus it wond not take a lot of land. It will also become the 8 wonder of the world. Probably another man made feature than can be seen from the moon.😀

China/South Korea had their Heros of Ancient days who had done beyond and sacrifice their lives for their fellow men.

In Hainan Island there is a Four Faced Godess of Mercy overlooking their Seas in Sanya believed to protect their Inhabitants from Harm of Natural Disasters etc.

Others, poora! Building statues of their vilians just to glory them.

Must be mentally sick in their minds.

Here have the GOD of NO MERCY instead of MERCY.

How about building a huge giant coffin, and show LKY rising up, clencing his fist, with mouth wide open shouting, "Demolish oxley 38!".

Anything less than this type of representation for The Founder would simply not do for fantastic Singapore.

Also, the bigger the statue, the greater amount of area birds can shit on. 💩💩☠️

I say, dream big. Build big.

Live your dream! 🤣

Actually they are thinking of the birds shitting at Orchard Road.

By setting aside such a big space, now the birds can have a bigger area to shit at. Hope the birdie birdies will leave Orchard Road and move to their new specially set aside shitting paradise.

Point is, what happens if besides the birds, some other beings also start doing their business hiding behind the statues.

Dream big? Ask Woody, the one able to come up with fictitious dreams from the figment of his imagination. Swiss standard of living, goal 2010, asset enhancements etc all works of fiction. Popular fiction that is!

Wah (Young) BRO Virgo49,

Among all the comments, yours probably is the smartest and most insightful?

Previously in recent years already mentioned in MSN that the designated area need a FengShui "formation" ... cos of something ... (天机不可泄漏)

Finally, they might have engaged some (expensive) "expurt" Geomancer and going ahead to erect the "formation" covertly by camouflaging it with other monuments?

But all these might have come too late (when things start to take place ...)?

@136 "healthy outdoor lifestyle"

>> some other beings also start doing their business hiding behind the statues. <<

As far as outdoor shitters are concerned, due to a lax immigration policy, we have no shortage of those willing to participate.

Then there is the other kind of outdoor business: FUCKING.

Now, you all don't start playing "sweet and innocent" here. Fuck you, don't bluff, pretend shy-shy OK?. 🤣 If you grew up in the old days, up to the 1970s, even 80s, you know darn well that many Singaporeans like to do outdoor fucking. I used to think that it was because young horny couples could not find privacy in their homes, because they mostly lived with family. However, another theory is we equatorial races just like taking it back to nature and making hot wild sexy time in the great outdoors. Changi beach, Sentosa (aka Pulau Belakang Mati), Fort Canning, McRitchie, East Coast, Botanical Gardens, Mount Faber...even Alkaff Mansion...c'mon, those were sexy salad days---one of the definite pleasures of growing up in Singapore!

If we had giant statues to fuck under, imagine the symbolism: as we bang and blow, our Founding Fathers keep a watchful eye over us. Man, that's almost religious. 😜

However the fucking cannot co-exist with the shitting. No need to over-think this. Therefore the govt should have these public shitters arrested and the practice vigorously discouraged.
