Lee kuan Yew refuses to let go power

Lee kuan Yew had just celebrated his 85th birthday.He should tell others how he managed to live such a long life. He said that as long as he is healthy, he wants to be a guardian of Singapore. Simply put, Lee kuan Yew refuses to let go of his power. Power could make a person crazy and many people are crazy for power.

There is one thing Lee Kuan Yew should know. That Singapore`s succeess was not due to Lee kuan Yew alone but due to the hardwork of all Singaporeans. By governing Singapore with iron fists for so many decades, Lee had almost destroyed Singapore because the present generation of Singaporeans could not make decisions of their own. They wait for the instructions of Lee. Had Lee not brought in talented people from all parts of the world into Singapore, Singapore would not have a bright future.

Lee Kuan Yew and his cabinet are not corrupt. There is no doubt about that. But Lee and his cabinet members are intelligent to raise their salary high enough that no contemporaries from other nations could be as rich as Lee. We must commend that Lee is indeed intelligent. while other world leaders gather money through corrupt means, Lee and his successors need not do so.
