The articles
appearing in the TRE, ‘Lee Kuan Yew was only human, should not be revered like
God’, ‘Hard truth that PM and sis must obey’, ‘Lee Wei Ling kena Davindered
into sllence’, ‘Lee Wei Ling versus Janadas on Facebook’, ‘Lee Wei Ling: The
editors in SPH are too timid to disobey’, ‘Why doesn’t Harry’s daughter
objected to this?’, ‘Be wary of nimcompoops and sycophants’, ‘Are Dr Lee’s
concerns about ‘Pa’ being venerated?’, ‘Ho Ching apologises for ‘rude monkey’
posting’, ‘LKY glorification is not about LKY but about those who try…’, all
invited a lot of comments and many from negative to very negative about LKY as
the founding PM of the island.
There are
many more articles floating around in other sites in the social media, and
mostly did not have much good things to say about LKY and with ugly
commentaries. All this is so unnecessary, the consequences of the ‘ground up’ exuberance
to want to commemorate LKY’s first anniversary in a big way. Like Wei Ling
said, the memories, all good, were still vivid in the minds of many
Singaporeans, but now so many articles have been written about the event and
tarnishing an otherwise fine ending to a long and good journey of a statesman.
What a pity.
Doing so much for so little, and some turning out so bad. In politics, a good feel of the ground is
very important. Never listen to eunuchs.
