The younger generation overwhelmingly voted for PAP after seeing their parents and grandparents crying during the week of mourning for the deceased former prime minister.The passing of LKY is a one time occurrence, so PAP will not do any better than it has at this recent GE.

According to a post on PM Lee Hsien Loong's Facebook page today, the Lee family will be donating half of the value of their father's home on 38 Oxley Road to charities specified in the late Lee Kuan Yew's obituary.

LKY died only 5 months ago. Yet the masses who attended his funeral procession were reminded again of his life and achievements again during the recent national day celebrations.

Kudos to LHL for such a successful campaign strategy!! His strategy? Just bang on TWO things – a dead ah gong and AHPETC!! We have shown utmost respect to ah gong and the old guards because they were great problem solvers!! Unfortunately, that ability is not coded in the PAP’s DNA and the new leaders have not acquired a single strain!! In fact, not only are they no longer great in solving problems, they are the ones who have created the problems in the first place!!
