IMHO Lee Kuan Yew was the
greatest head of state of the
1900s -- bt very very very far.

No other nation accomplished
what Singapore accomplished
in 50 years under his leadership.

Absolutely false. Have you ever
been to Singapore? Did you ever
ask Singaporeans about the
supposed "dictatorship"?

Dan, regardless of LKY's success in building Singapore (which I agree
was amazing), that he was in all relevant respects an authoritarian or
perhaps a 'benevolent dictator' is beyond peradventure.

You really do not know your facts
(or maybe you know YOUR FAXES)
and do not even understand the
meaning of the words DICTATOR
or DICTATORSHIP.

Can you provide the name(s) of
any person(s) who were jailed,
persecuted, or fired from their
job(s) for disagreeing with LKY?

I am holding my breath .....

The fact Singapore had/has some
laws that do/did not align with US
notions of democracy does not
make it a dictatorship.

One should also remember that
Singapore's legal framework was
inherited from Malaysia, which
in turn inherited its legal system
from ..... the UK ?!?

Please review your history.

The US media painted Singapore
a lot darker than it is/was because
of pressure from the government
and the CIA, who were worried LKY
might tilt towards China and wanted
to be able to build a case just in case
they might decide to replace him. This
is beyond debate, and pretty obvious
from some of the interviews I posted.

In Dan's world Netanyahu has dictatorial aims for which he demonizes him, but LKY is ofc not a dictator and is endorsed - hehe.

Dan, I didn't make it through all of this shit, but let me kindly remind you, that you are not a Singaporean and that LKY is not your Führer - no matter how much you wish this to be true.

LKY built a nation, while Netanyahu
is destroying his. You are really a
completely brainfucked imbecile.

Netanyahu has fired government
officials for not agreeing with him.

If this isn't dictatorship, then what is?

You once showed me proof in a private mail... in a desperate attempt to prove me your nationality - which I never doubted.

I think you are the one projecting a whole lot here... you have this weird fetish about asia, a place you imagine things to be perfect or at least better... maybe not generally, but specifically wrt some countries. You are the one idolizing a dictator - not me.

BTW I think Singapore looks like shit; I was there twice as a child. Ofc it's clean... but there is no life in the buildings imo. It all looks so clean and lifeless; totally different from Korea, Japan or HK.

That is not dictatorship. You have to view this case specifically.

What about the governmental control over the media in Singapore you fool.

I showed you evidence I was born in
Romania, no less and no more. This
does not mean I am Romanian -- I
am not. It also does not mean one
may not have acquired additional
residences or citizenships. You
obviously cannot read English.

I have no fetishes about anything. There
are plenty of things I like in Asian cultures,
as there are plenty of things I dislike. What
one believes about Singapore or not does
not change the fact that Singapore has
managed to accomplish since 1965 is
unprocedented by any objective metric.

*To explain: Dan out of nowhere sent me a picture of his passport in an E-Mail to prove me his nationality...

I never asked for this shit and I never doubted it... Seems as if I have gotten under his skin in some way; why would he care so much that he would sent me a picture of his passport - wtf... what a crazy guy.

My dear friend... I am not reading any of this any further...

It's not my fault you are too stupid to realize that LKY was a dictator.

Curiously, no one in Singapore

Funny cause I heard Singaporeans themselves say that he was a dictator - all of the times though they still seemed to view him positively majorly.
And this is a problem you idiot. You should not idealize this, even if he did good things...

You seem to screw around with definitions of words just as you wish - truly characteristic of your deranged mindset that also equates Netanyahu with Putin.
According to objective standards he was a dictator - whether the Singaporeans liked him or not, does not matter in the slightest you god damn idiot.

Can you provide a single example of
a person jailed, or fired from a state
job for disagreeing with LKY? That
would be DICTATORSHIP.

People use terms like "Nazi", "Fascist"
or "Dictator" coloquially all the time.
Don't pretend you don't know.

One of the classic sayings in the SW
and computer industries is "In God
we trust -- everyone else bring data!".

You are a pluted brainfucked imbecile.

Look I'm not here to teach you how a dictatorship or a dictator is defined.

I am also not here to look things up for you; as far as I know dissidents were silenced (quite a while ago since I read about it), but not in a "mean" manner, but a "soft" dictatorship is a still a dictatorship. And I don't think it's good, and as it seems the dictatorship still lives on in some ways. He surely has done good things, but he still was a dictator and I think Singapore "as a whole" is wrong... like I said... very lifeless. It's as if LKY's way with things sort of made all things a bit too clinical... and also fake.

There are many Singaporeans who will agree with me that he was a dictator you idiot - most of them will like him, as they are brainwashed... just like you wrt Israel. You go live in your fantasy world behind your scuba mask.

Well I don't use those terms coloquially and I don't think it would make sense to do so. And your argument has nothing to do with what I said you fool..

Well, I believe you lack the intellect to interpret data in any meaningful way - proof besides of your obvious idiocy: your covid data "analysis"... so all data will be useless.

I do not have horse in this race, but I asked openAI the question... "Was Lee Kuan Yew a dictator?" and the answer was as follows...

"Lee Kuan Yew, who served as the first Prime Minister of Singapore from 1959 to 1990, is often characterized as a strong and authoritarian leader. However, whether he was a dictator is a matter of debate.

Lee Kuan Yew was known for his strict policies and for taking a firm hand in governing Singapore, which included restrictions on the media, limitations on political opposition, and strict laws on public order. However, he also oversaw significant economic and social progress in Singapore during his tenure, turning it into a prosperous and developed nation.

Some argue that Lee Kuan Yew's leadership style was necessary to transform Singapore from a poor and unstable country into a prosperous and stable one, while others contend that his policies stifled political dissent and civil liberties.

Ultimately, whether Lee Kuan Yew was a dictator or not depends on how one defines the term. Some would argue that his authoritarian tendencies and strong-arm tactics make him a dictator, while others would say that his actions were necessary for the greater good of Singapore."

Could you ask it the question--what is the future of classical music recordings?
