Correction. We rejoice at how successful a "benevolent dictatorship" has been in bringing stability to Singapore. This is anything BUT a Democracy. When the "Ruler" can bankrupt anybody who disagrees with him, and continues to rule from the sidelines in positions continually created just to keep him in power much to the amusement of everybody you cannot say it's a democracy. Meritocracy? maybe, Parliamentary Democracy? Only in form but not in function. Benevolent Dictatorship? Yes. And it's because it was operated like a Dictatorship that he was able to do what he did, dragging the whole country kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Let's be honest and not just patriotic. It's okay to love your country but you also must face facts and not just propaganda put out by SingStat & EDB.kwokhua wrote: As for the fellow who laughed at Singapore's democratic system, let me laugh with you, because we both rejoice at how successful it has been in bringing stability to Singapore.

I believe you are the one currently wasting space. You really should "read" the posts carefully so you don't end up like this:kwokhua wrote:As for the question if I am Lee Kuan Yew's relative, nope. But I believe the fellow who asked it must be George Bush's kin. What has this question got to do with this topic? A total waste of space.
Hi, would you mind if I can contact you directly. We are considering moving to Singapore from Dubai and want to bounce off from people who have a reference point.

And there seems to be lots of people making the same move.
