I downvoted you because you cherrypicked a quote from LKY without any context and of all people, you had to quote Chee Soon Juan - that quite shows that you don't have ground reality or an understanding of Singaporean politics.

You haven't provided any supporting arguments. Perhaps you can tell us what the missing context is, or why using that quote means he has no understanding?

Using that quote means he has no understanding because Chee Soon Juan isn't what the OP portrays him to be, he isn't even what his own quote says he is.

It's completely factually wrong and there are few Singaporeans (even the ones in Chee's own party) who would give that quote (and the man who said it) any legitimacy whatsoever.
