Lee’s domestic methods fell short of the prescriptions of current U.S. constitutional theory. But so, in fairness, did the democracy of Thomas Jefferson’s time, with its limited franchise, property qualifications for voting and slavery. This is not the occasion to debate what other options were available. Had Singapore chosen the road of its critics, it might well have collapsed among its ethnic groups, as the example of Syria teaches today. Whether the structures essential for the early decades of Singapore’s independent existence were unnecessarily prolonged can be the subject of another discussion.

The SG PR machine will do its very best to persuade the world that he was a benevolent man. The truth is far more complicated and in some instances downright sinister. His economic legacy may be available for all to see, but at what cost? The Telegraph even chooses to repeat the lie that LKY believed in the rule of law. He believed in no such thing. He believed in HIS rule & HIS law. To this day, the judiciary remains a compliant poodle that dares not go against the government & has made the most outrageous rulings so as not to inconvenience the PAP (ruling party.) Just look up: Cheng San GRC polling day ruling.

Bitch please, now you scary Lee Kuan Yew worshippers, go get educated on the whole Chia Thye Poh saga (before that, listen to yourself and realize how much you sound like a North Korean defending the Kims). I don't care if the guy invented a cure for cancer or saved the world from Nazi domination. If he did something like this to Chia with a clear conscience and no indication of remorse whatsoever, he isn't fit to be a leader.

Quite a few very active megachurches are there, along with plenty of smaller ones. I have been greatly impressed by the quality and caliber of the believers I have met there. But the nation is at a crossroads in various respects. As mentioned, this is its Jubilee Year. The biblical significance of this is of course important. And with Lee now gone, and the PAP slowly losing its commanding position in Singaporean politics, there are questions being asked as to how Singapore will fare in the near future. The once very socially and culturally conservative landscape is now beginning to shift.

If you liked our first series of Lee Kuan Yew images, here are some more of Lee in his younger days.

Since everyone's in the mood for more of the late Supreme Leeder, A.S.S. has decided to compile a list of memorable quotes from the late Lee Kuan Yew.

Exile in London, Tan Wah Piow's Statement: "Lee Kuan Yew’s death will set the people free In life, Lee Kuan Yew's sole concern was to be feared by his countrymen. He was so spectacularly successful in this pursuit that by the time of his death, he was left with no cohorts: only minions."

"Mr Lee is no more. I am tearing as I write this. What is there to say about Mr Lee Kuan Yew that has not already been said? On the broad canvas that Mr Lee made, millions of good life stories were written in Singapore."

Supreme Leeder Lee Kuan Yew passed away peacefully in the Singapore General Hospital today at 91 years of age. He leaves behind 2 sons, including current prime minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong, and a daughter. Love him or hate him, there's no doubt Singapore would not be the same without him. In tribute of the man who helped build his vision of Singapore, A.S.S. has decided to compile a series of memorable pictures and photos of Lee Kuan Yew.

This piece was written by Dr Lee Wei Ling, daughter of Lee Kuan Yew, shortly after the death of her mother, the late Kwa Geok Choo. Through her words, we see a different side to the typically stern former prime minister of Singapore.
