another book has come out on senior minister lee (wow, is it like the third or fourth already??) saw it selling at a news stand at sim lim sq today while jostling with crowds buying digital cameras and gawking at latest range of electronic goodies (none of which i can buy due to my temporary state of pecuniary embarrassment). i've always admired him incredibly for the work he has done on singapore and the way he speaks what he feels, no matter how others feel about it (just read in the papers today that he told the US to cultivate its friends & allies with more "tender loving care" so as not to lose them.. pretty daring and frank i feel..). And when i read his quote from the book and he said: "It is amazing the number of highly intelligent persons in the world who make no contribution at all to the well-being of their fellow men", i was totally in awe... totally...
on the other hand, of course, we have those of us who go beyond just admiring mr lee.. they actually want to .. err.. clone him??
click Talking Cock for the "news article" that had me in fits of laughter... or just click on pic below..
question is: if we have more mr lees.. would we have more singapores???
