  1.  @loneblade6198  If you believe China is like Singapore, then you completely misunderstood both countries.

  2. This is the guy who had been recommended for the position as a world ambassador for human right at the UN. The person who recommended him: Dr. Tedros of the WHO.

  3. Given the circumstances, he was one of the very best you had. His work as a president still lasted on for years.

  4.  @loneblade6198  I live in Singapore since 1995 and in between I lived in Guangzhou for 18 months. I do not think that it makes me more or lesser qualified. But what I can say is: I left, deeply convinced that this is no way humans should live. What you say makes your statement even worse.

  5.  @michaelloh9485  Overall Malaysia has done better than it's other neighbours. Overall you experienced a slower but steady development. I think without the war and the resulting world crisis and inflation, Malaysia would grow significantly in the next 5 years. Of course, sharing the cake more through the entire population would accelerate growth. Singapore and Malaysia should work more closer together, same as for example France and Germany. Stop comparing, the truth is you are pretty similar and could complement each other better for the benefit of everyone.

  6. Surprisingly a very fair and insightful assessment! Singapore was already on the way "up", many plans such as the HDB's were already in the drawers. However, it needed the right person to put all things well together, add his positive visions, and manage it. This person was Mr. Lee, obviously.

  7. Youtube censors the posts under this video. My post: - did not contain any foul language - was not personal in any way - was a positive text towards Mr. Schindler, his wife Emilie, and his accountant Mr. Stern. In my conclusion I mentioned that I do not like the role of Emiie Schindler being erased in the film, Schindler's list. That was all. Nothing bad. It seems we are getting worse than the CCP here.

  8.  @michaelloh9485  What would you say about the development Malaysia has taken if you do not compare with Singapore's development?

  9.  @SR-pr2xz  In my eyes Singapore and Malaysia are more similar as compared to France and Germany. Anyway, a similarity would not be a precondition for working better together where that is possible and useful. I have just another view than you, that fine. But these constant, general presumptions that all Caucasians do not understand you Asians is more suitable for killing any fruitful discussion.

  10.  @SR-pr2xz  I am not that much interested in the past, but very interested in looking at the future. If SEA does not want to ground down in between two world power blocks, then there has to be more unity and a common sense. The times of "that's not my business" are over. If people do not understand this, SEA will be lost.

  11. Mr. Whistler, I know that these stories and biographies are authored by your friend Mr. Theunissen. But still, you must be a walking encyclopedia by now.

  12. Is it true without his Watergate you guys would consider him a good president?

  13. Live in North Korea has improved. In the capital many people enjoy a humble wealth. On the countryside life is still hard, but no more mass famine. Watching foreign videos is still forbidden but mostly it's not anymore enforced very strictly. People even dare to share USB stick with friends. I was told "just be very low profile about it". Some have now a Chinese cell-phone. There is a way to somehow connect it to a North-Korean cellphone, and then they can call to China without needing to go close to the border. If you compare to years back, clothing is now more colourful in the cities. Previously they all wore darker items that seemed to come from the 70s and 80s. People smile now, while before they rushed to the bus, or wherever they needed to go, without even looking up.

  14. The worst was probably depriving an entire generation from education, killing most artists and scientists. China has not completely overcome that damage until today.

  15. Mr. Lovecraft did not die, he still lives under the name Zuckerberg in Santa Monica.
