The ultimate test for Singapore and all Singaporeans

A family feud is now in centre stage in Singapore’s plastic squeaky clean politics. Everything is now on display and the media could do itself more harm to attempt to take sides as the social media is there to offer the truth in its purest form, uncensored, as it is. Two opposing views will be aired unrestrained for all to see and judge. Every Singaporean, every foreigner living in the little island would be watching and would have his views and opinions plus a generous dose of gossips and wild interpretations of the event. The good, bad and ugly would have no where to hide but be exposed or exposed themselves.

Right at the very top is the integrity, honesty, conduct and honour of the PM at stake. What he said and what his siblings said would all be weighed and he has to come up clean and shining as before the event. Anything else would not be good for him and his party and govt. The PM is put on the spot light, put under severe test and severe examination and cross examination in the public court of the people.

Then the members of his Cabinet/MPs too would be watched carefully on what they said or what they did not say, what they did or failed to do right. They cannot be neutral or hide under ‘no comments’. They will have to take positions, legally, politically or morally on this feud. Can they afford to be neutral, to hide in the toilet? They are not just politicians but deemed honourable, righteous and responsible leaders of the country, to stand up, to speak out and not to hide under the table. How could they have no opinion or no view on this affair? Would they take positions based on political convenience, morally right or legally correct? My guess, the parrots would have lost their voice and remained ‘diam diam’ for good measures. No comment! Eh, this is not just a family affair, many aspects of it concern the govt of the day, the integrity of leaders.

The opposition political parties and politicians would also be expected to make their comments and keeping mum is not an option especially for those that have made this a second nature or a policy.

Govt organs and civil servants too would be watched on what they do or say. Making a wrong move, choosing the wrong side, could be deadly, a misstep can be very costly, pun intended.

And the people, the supporters of the PAP/govt, the grateful hoi polloi of LKY, and those that are in the opposing camp would be watching closely on the happenings and would be making their own judgement, not just on legal issues but moral issues and the issues of filial piety, issues on honouring their idol and fulfilling his last wish. Would they grant their hero his last wish or would they refuse him his last wish now that he is dead and gone? Worst, when the lion king is dead, would they devour his young lions?

This is an occasion when the whole country is under watch, put to a test. Singapore is a nation under a microscope. What is Singapore all about, what kind of govt and leaders are ruling this island are now being questioned. Is Singapore the honourable, rule by law, morally upright priesthood nation, or it has all been a myth, a bad dream, and the truth is ugly and embarrassing to talk about?

  1. This is the best of time and worst of time for Singapore. 50 years of peace and prosperity is under the microscope. Were the achievements so far a myth or as solid as a rock. Will this episode wake up the masses or make them sleep more peacefully in the end. So many things suddenly come across in the mind of Singaporeans.

  2. This is the best time to see who would betray Lee Kuan Yew, who are the treacherous ones, who are untrustworthy ones, who are the opportunists, who are the unreliable fair weather friends, who are the deceitful ones, and who are the dangerous ones, and who are those that are hiding in the toilets.

  4. In less than 3 years after his death, would his legacy and all his works, including the PAP, be buried with him? It sure looks like this is the beginning to end the Lee Kuan Yew era and everything that is related to him. Wait for the knives to be drawn. It could be a very sad ending and coming down very fast.

    This may seem to be just a family feud but, if you examine it in proper perspective, it is not.

    The story began once upon a time in England, when Harry Lee was surprised that his 'wife' was expecting a baby (which would grow up to be the present Prime Minister of Sinkieland).

    So, long long ago, once upon a time, in the Kingdom of the British Empire, a little dragon was born. Rightfully, he should have 'British Subject' as his Citizenship. However, events happened so fast that expectations and the normal norms were not to be what they should have been.....

    Up-bringing and taming of the precious young dragon became a HUGE problem for the young couple, whose ambitions were intertwined with the fate of 1.5 million local inhabitants of Singapura, the entreport discovered, purchased and developed to become a flourishing centre of trade between the East and the West, not just a small fishing village which some ill-informed simpletons would want others to believe.....

    Then the chance for Singapura to become 'independent' came and a young lawyer quickly became its First Prime Minister through some political maneouvres and sheer luck....

    (Others please continue the story, if you like)

    A happy united family can be broken up just by another sister or brother in law. Normally the Sis-in- law for they are creatures that can never get along with their husbands siblings and immediate families.

    So, in a way blessings that your children chose to remain singles.

    For that may spell the Diasters of your start of family squabbles and troubles.

  9. Do you think our Singaporeans are spineless?

    /// Today we are going to learn a lot about the country of my birth.

    We are going to learn whether Singapore is still full of men and women of quality and strong character, or whether it is difficult to get a SINGAPOREAN to understand something, when his HDB upgrading and primary school priority scheme depends upon his not understanding it.

    They were able to hide their true colour because of the 5th Column, theunder their direct command and control, has been painting all the fake good news about them against the interests of the commoners.

  11. No Singaporean will deny the pervasive nature of the Lee family n all the hanger ons .. Singapore 's brand of meritocracy is so based on cronyism that it makes a mockery of education and raw ability.. what we need is a Mao Zedong style purge of our so called elites n start afresh .. so the natural aristocrats have been found wanting n it must come as a shock to most that the natural aristocrats are .....(fill in the blanks) in disguise!!!! We didn't call them natural aristocrats.. they called themselves that.. for me ..there are many natural words to describe the whole bunch of them

  12. LHY and LWL have been silent for close to 52 years.
    Many Singaporeans have emigrated and left Singapore during their long period of silence.
    I wonder if there is anyone left to speak out for them?
    ......

    First they came for the Socialists,
    and I did not speak out-
    Because I was not a Socialist.

    Then they came for the Trade Unionists,
    and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews,
    and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—
    and there was no one left to speak for me.

  13. I am long absence but this is a serious national issue that I am compelled to voice out strongly in favor of Lee Hsien Loong.

    No one in USA of the right mind will tear down the former abbot of Jefferson, Washington and Lincoln. Every single nation in this world needs monument to shape common history and for pilgrimage sake. LKY house is one such monument.

    LKY fear of personal worship is overstretch. After his demise, the strong paternalistic government is gone and the undesirable political development today is over-democratization. Singapore, without LKY may be on the sliding path on the like of HK, Taiwan and South Korea.

    But without the hinterland of the other 3 tigers, and embedded in among Islamofascist world, Singapore lack of the resilent of the other 3 tigers.

    LKY house serve as a reminder to future Singaporeans on the sacrifice of 1st generation PAP.

    Today LHY and LWL obviously want to tear the house down. Whats next? Sell is to property developer for 100 million in the case the land can be re-zone into high rise buildings?

    In that scenario, we will have a monument of SHAME, instead of sacrifice. It will be a shrine of mercenary greed, who prefers to tear down national monument in favor of monetary gain, totally disregard of national interest.

    And LWL LHY claim of being persecuted is absolutely ridiculous. Being an elite family and having amazed huge amount of wealth, they are feared and esteemed by almost every Singaporeans.

    LHY, being a sole loser for Oxley sales, choose to aired he will be migrating in a high profile manner, despite that his father build modern Singapore and he has profited scandalously from our society. He is of treacherous character.

    LHL now forgoing his stake of Oxley house clearly shows that he stand for national interest. We do not want our sons to visit Oxley to do shopping or worse, to see a plush condo infested by foreigners.

    Our national interest is at stake. LKY last wish got to give way to national interest.

  17. What can LHL do to persecute LWL and LHY? We are not north Korea, and these 2 morons will never be physically liquidated.

    The most they lost their jobs in public sector or GLC (obviously LHL has not even done that).

    Maybe LHL can do one or two things to create nuisance for his siblings. LWL and LHY can simply resign from their jobs, keep their wealth and go tour the world.

    And the propensity of selling Oxley to property developer get immensely higher after the house get bulldozed.

    The house cost 100 millions or above if it ever get re-zoned.

    LWL cry Jews and LHY decide to migrate to create scandals for Singapore, to get the house bulldoze. They are toxic characters.

    IF they noxious wish come true, Oxley will be a monument of shame and scandal.

    THe future generation will have an example of greed, treacherous character and shit to pilgramage.

  22. If it takes an equivalent of a "giant" (in every generation) to make a micro-state succeed and continue to succeed, is it possible and realistic?

    LHL has no stake whatsoever because his father did not leave anything to him in his LKY LAST WILL!

    The real issue is not the Oxley house or LKY's wishes or will.

    The real issues are:

    Can the government confiscate our property against our wishes?

    3) does Singapore have an impeachment process in place to remove a government that has gone rogue?

  42. The sacrosanct of private property is a piece of BS by neo-liberals and neocons, which acted against the peasants, in favor of Oligarch.

    Without the land acquisition act, SG will be another mess like Bangkok, KL or Taipei and we cannot develop. Now when you go Beijing and get amaze by the ultra modern cityscape, enjoying infrastructure that no western country is able surpass. How is this possible?

    In essence, the modernization of China city is accomplished through gross violation of property rights, but in the long run, the original inhabitants get far more compensated.

    In time of vital national interest, the white man government will sacrifice individuals. For example, FDR introduce the gold confiscation act, that rob USA citizens of their gold.

    In short, every individuals is expect to do their duty for states and common good.

    In fact, under Loong, SG is democratized far more. And subsequent leaders after Loong will get more and more dilute in power.

    The dilution of power is our biggest worry, rather than concentration of power.

    Fake news or real news?

    Do you think it is real news when MRT stops breaking down?
    Do you think it is real news when unemployed Singaporeans can get employed again?
    Do you think it is real news when old Singaporeans stop collecting card boxes for exercise?

  65. Even Xi Jinping wont have power of Mao.

    Deng is less powerful and Mao. And Jiang is less powerful than Deng.

    We can expect the power concentration of PAP to become less and less. The biggest worry today is not dictatorship but lack of dictatorship.

    The strength of our system is about a strong government getting job done. We may become like USA, full of political gridlock, and not having even 1 km of HSR built.

  67. The flawed agenda of the Oxley House Ministerial Committee
    -----------------------------------------------

    /// According to DPM Teo Chee Hean in his statement release on 17 June 2017, the Government has the responsibility to consider the public interest aspects of any property with heritage and historical significance, and that this applies to the House. - I have no problem with that statement.

    But DPM Teo Chee Hean then went on to say: "The Committee has thus been looking at the options available for 38 Oxley Road while paying particular attention to respecting Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s wishes for his house."

    What is the relevance of Mr Lee’s wishes for the House?

    In considering the historical and heritage significance of the House, what is the relevance of Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s thinking and wishes for the House?

    How are Singaporean interests served to find out whether Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s really wanted the House to be demolished or not?

    Has it been the Government's policy when considering the "public interest aspects of any property with heritage and historical significance", to give weight to the wishes of the property's deceased owner?

    On the contrary, my own impression is that the Government would place public interest over the personal wishes of any property owner, let alone the wishes of its deceased owner. ///

    1. Lee Kuan Yew had given his reason for wanting 38 Oxley Rise to be demolished.
      Had there been any convincing ideas to change his decision, he would have it changed if he got persuaded. BUT NO, HE INSISTED THAT IT BE DEMOLISHED. HE WA WISE.
      Anyway, IF EVERYONE IS AS RESPECTFUL TO HIM AS WHENCE HE WAS ALIVE, 38 OXLEY RISE SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED AS PER HIS(LKY) WISH.
      THAT'S RESPECT FOR THE MAN.

      Did not expect the Absence of Veritas to make him a completely different from the Veritas that we knew him here before.
      What makes him a changed person, l do not know, but he change colour like chameleon for whatever reason.
      He is a different man.

  68. It seems that everyone is blaming Ah Loong alone for the Family Feud.
    I shall agree that it is purely Family Feud IF IT HAS NO POLITICAL CONNOTATION OR LINK.
    UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN LEE KUAN YEW PLANNED AND GROOMED HIS SON FOR THE PREMIERSHIP OF SIN, IT STARTED RIGHT OFF WITH POLITICAL AGENDA. AS SUCH, WHAT IS HAPPENNING NOW, IS ALL THE MAKING OF LEE KUAN YEW.

    Think it is not fair to exonerate the Old Man and put all blames on Lee Hsien Loong and or any of his children.

    lf it did not start off with the Old Man, why are so many Sinkies calling it Karma or in lay term: retribution.

  69. "The opposition political parties and politicians would also be expected to make their comments and keeping mum is not an option especially for those that have made this a second nature or a policy."

    Workers Party MPs are so notoriously silent until PM Lee himself has to urge them to question him and his Cabinet colleagues vigorously in Parliament !

  74. After 99 years, how much is 38 Oxley worth?
    ----------------------------------------
    1945: 22-year-old Lee Kuan Yew and his family moved into 38 Oxley Road
    2015: 38 Oxley Road is valued at least S$24 million
    After 70 years, 38 Oxley Road is worth $24 million.

    Our HDB flat.
    After 70 years, how much is it worth?
    After 99 years, we all know it’s worth nothing.

    Dear 70%

    Do you think it's fair to say people with a fascist personality typically uses phrases like "Don't ever"?

    Anyway, it's you who is making the equation of Lee Kuan Yew and Hitler ... not me.

  84. Karma does not necessarily befall only on the person doing the evil and just only when he is still alive.

    Ever hear the saying that 'the sins of the father may also be the cause of suffering of the children, or something to that effect?'

    And also the saying of the Chinese 'not to do too much evil as one may cause sufferings to befall on the children'

    Of course people who wants to do evil will never believe in Karma, so it is of no use to tell them that.
