The Singapore Daily

“The fact is, everything that has happened since [your massive pay rise], from electricity hikes to Mas Selamat to Melamine is being blamed on you because you have set yourselves up as infallible leaders. It doesn’t matter if you can’t control these events. The fact is, Singaporeans will take every opportunity to strike out at you because you’ve set yourself up to be struck at…”
Khayce

“That is the way the world is… you marry a non-graduate, then you worry about whether or not your son or daughter is going to make it to the university!”
Lee Kuan Yew
