Not directly anyone in particular but humans are wise, they will usually think before ranting over issue.

1. Do you need to open a new thread just to discredit Mr.Low or the Opposition even though another thread by Stargazer (7 days mourning period) already touch on this issue at 12.11am before you made this post? Don't tell me you didn't read there.

2. The media already apologised for the error on Low's speech, but why didn't you publish his full speech in your thread? 2 secs after your post here, Aris already posted the full speech in the other thread (7 days mourning period) while you choose not to do so.

3. Have you totally forgotten about the CONDOLENCE LETTER FROM PRIME MINISTER LEE HSIEN LOONG ON DEMISE OF JB JEYARETNAM? If you have forgotten, or choose not to remember, Richardg has reproduced it here.

So who is Politicizing Death? For this I ZAP u loh.
Also for not telling the whole truth about Low's speech.
cool it, gc.

There are some for it, some simply don't mah

honest, for that, me too was labelled "stupid" shut up my big gap etc etc

me take it with a pinch of salt hoh. Dance must dance horse must ride - canto slang

This is what S Rajaratnam says abt LKY verbatim
Quote:
"There is a difference between me and Kuan Yew. He was not all that keen on democracy, “one man one vote.” I always believed that every one should be allowed to vote. This was an important difference. Goh Keng Swee had a different approach. He was a civil servant. We must have a very strong civil service. And we can dominate by running the civil service, and there is fair play all round.

I believe in democracy. Here, Kuan Yew and I don’t agree. He says, “You are very naïve. You don’t understand. One man, one vote won’t work.” Recently, he said there should be two votes for every educated man.

I express my views. Every citizen has the right to vote. Lee Kuan Yew says that you cannot trust democracy. I believe you can and you must.

And Lee had this belief in IQ. Some are born with high IQ and some with low IQ. I remember once arguing with him. I said, “What is IQ based on?” I still have the book, Not In Your Genes. It makes this point: you can take the blood of any person, Chinese or Indian. Can the blood tell the IQ? No! It’s impossible. It’s not genetic.

Lee Kuan Yew is a dominant man. But Chok Tong believes in consensus. Once he’s decided, that’s it. There was little tiff between him and his son, you know. Because Lee Kuan Yew said, “If anyone stops my way, it doesn’t matter who he is, I’ll push him away.” For the first time the son was being different. And Lee Kuan Yew said, “No if anyone stands in my way I’ll just push through.” So while Lee Kuan Yew is alive, he’ll be dominant.

He knows that we can’t live forever. His dream is to leave behind a reputation. So that even when he passes away, that Singapore will remember him. That this is the man we wanted in Singapore. I don’t think that exactly what he wrote, but that is how he reflected himself, project himself.

Lee Kuan Yew ... believes that if there are more Lee Kuan Yew’s, this place will hum."

But to use bark and bite in the same sentence insinuates other meanings...

It means you are putting words into my mouth. Humans do bite too.
