The older population are the ones that actually loyal to the Lee Kuan Yew family. Dissents are growing in younger population but the regime is very harsh in stifling dissent even tracking and harassing domestic online dissidents.
Singapore is not western by all standards but a facade. Now their leadership are saying about basing their leadership on Confucianism or Asian values. . . . . .just as what have been said by Chinese and North Korea leadership as well but whatever Confucianism is they are reduced to not angering the Emperor in Singapore. Sigh  .
I'm guessing the Lee Kuan Yew family wealth to be in range of 5-15 billion US dollars EXCLUDING the hundreds of billion of dollars of state sovereign fund they control through state investment corporation which the current Prime Minister son of Lee Kuan Yew has now openly said that one of which as not being a state corporation at all meaning they are now private. A well known dissident, Gopalan Nair wrote that their wealth to be in the range of 80 billion dollars making them the richest people on the planet. |
I've memorized my fair share of Confucian classics
anyways, there used to be time when commie leaders had a picture of themselves on the cover of text books
