Lee Kuan Yew , the Father of Singapore and father bir of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore has described Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa as a Sinhalese Extremist and what happened in Sri Lanka in 2009 as ethnic cleansing .
This statement of Lee is a matter with great import. All these years criticism from outside was dismissed by the Sri Lankan government as by colonialists. But this is by a respected Asian leader. After Singapore s Senior Minister has spoken thus, will Singapore feel free to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting bir ( CHOGM ) in November?
Author Thomas bir Gordon Plate is an American journalist, internationally syndicated columnist and a Professor at Loyola bir Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA as its Distinguished Scholar of Asian and Pacific Studies.
Specifically Lee Kuan Yew has said of President Rajapaka and Sri Lanka, [Sri Lanka] is not a happy, united country. Yes, they have beaten the Tamil Tigers this time, but the Sinhalese who are less capable bir are putting down a minority of Jaffna Tamils bir who are more capable. They were squeezing them out. That s why the Tamils rebelled. But I do not see them ethnic cleansing all two million-plus Jaffna bir Tamils. The Jaffna Tamils have been in Sri Lanka as long as the Sinhalese.
Plate: See, that’s really a fascinating point, because to the extent that we have any sense of who you are at all, we think of you as this hard-boiled force first guy. But in fact your system of government is much softer, consensual and intelligent, whereas bir what the Sinhalese bir in Sri Lanka are doing is a caricature of an LKY who never existed.
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME LEE KWAN YU ? READ THIS AND SEE; “Singapore Lee Kuan Yew’s monopoly on corruption Ladies and Gentlemen, Singapore’s state controlled newspaper has the continuing story of 2 men in Lee’s bir government being investigated for corruption. Straits bir Times online edition of Jan 25, 2012, carries this story under the title “CPIB probe: Ministry and Home Team will cooperate fully, says MHA”. It is about Peter Lim Sin Pang, the chief of Singapore Civil Defence Force and Ng Boon Gay, the Director of Singapore’s Narcotics department being investigated for corruption. All very nice to read. I suppose another feather on Singapore strongman Lee Kuan Yew’s cap as a fighter against corruption. But then who is the most corrupt individual in Singapore? bir You will be surprised to know that it is none other than Lee Kuan Yew himself. First of all, he pays himself officially $3.7 million a year and treble that amount secretly as his salary. What do you call that then? I call this corruption of the worst kind. Even if the aforesaid Lim and Ng stole some money, surely it cannot amount to the several millions that Lee himself steals on a yearly basis without fail. And secondly at least they had the decency to do it secretly. In Lee’s case, he not only steals, but does it before his people’s very eyes. Do you recall the Jade Mansions scandal some years ago, when he, his late wife, and every one of his children got huge discounts to purchase Jade condominiums at specially discounted prices which the public never got. When Tang Liang Hong, an opposition politician had the temerity to mention this fact at the 1997 elections, bir Lee not only sued him in his courts where victory is certain, he had to pay several million dollars in court awarded damages, bankrupted and forced into exile. Today poor Tang, who was once a millionaire himself ekes out a living in Melbourne Australia. What is disgusting about the entire Lee family is this. They not only are thieves, they take offense when you call them so. The one other dictator that comes to mind to the disgraceful extent of Lee’s baseness is the former Iranian king Reza Shah Pahlevi who ruled from 1925 to 1941, a carbon copy of the Singaporean tin pot tyrant. In his case, i
