MM Lee Kuan Yew LIVE in the nanyang audi.
(thanks DEB !!)
YES this is only the man who literally dragged
Singapore out of the slums into the worldclass
city we are today.
he speaks and commands easy authority
and respect,
dignified, composed,
with an air of arrogance even, thoroughly justified tho.
the man is a legend la, ive never queued for
celebrities- not even donuts -
but i queued one odd hour
to get myself checked for
bombs before entering the audi.
there is evidence of age,
but if you look at his eyes,
MAN they are sharp.
he LOL-ed at some points,
it was adorable HAHA!
so he delivered his speech,
very charismatic speaker, and took
the questions elegantly and with ease.
he has all the facts and figures
at his fingertips, so worldly-wise
you can tell how hard he continues to work
till this day.
putting aside whatever little talks
we've had abt his "lee administration",
the man is an inspiration and worth every
bit of the respect that he commands.
and
just a side note:
all great people are born on 16 Sept.
all great people are born on 16 Sept.
:D
chujie and i were woohoo pysched
to meet our favourite old man!
we were talking after the forum and
how bulk of the people spoke were
the international student.
are we politically-apathetic or are
we too afraid??
in the end MM had to request to take
a question from a Singaporean hurhur.
maybe its just not singaporean culture
to be heard,
we are conditioned to be
consumed in our little lives and to
privately wallow in selfpitiness.
MM could be secretly happy
to see this ...
peace and stability prevails
since people wont bother enough
to demonstrate or make radical
political statements!
bore!
