10 things after he departs

there has been much talk in recent months. SPH just published its epic Men In White. Thusitha talks about it in class every week.

what happens to Singapore post-Lee Kuan Yew?

i badly want the answer. and i seem to be looking forward to this day. it wont be nice, but i guess that's the only way to get the answer.


10 things we can see with our founding father's departure

1. Hsien Loong will cry before he smile for the next International Event. Perhaps there will be a movement to gather 4 million cries.

2. Cabinet has one less mouth to feed, and that means more money for the people. Quite a hefty sum we all know.

3. Yusof Ishak'
s photo on the currency notes will be replaced by Kuan Yew's face.

4. Lee Kuan Yew Mausoleum will be erected near the Civilisation III IR, and that means another avenue and revenue for the Singapore Tourism Board.

5. When
SIA has another internal strife, no one more capable than Kuan Yew can handle.

6. Ho Ching will have no worries in how she manages Temasek Holdings.

7. Pity JBJ
is gone. Chee Soon Juan might appear again for some sort of protest.

8. The giant statue of Father Lee Kuan Yew will replace Sir Stamford Raffles.

9. People start to address Lee Kuan Yew as "Papa Lee" like the way Ho Chi Minh was addressed as Uncle Ho by the people of Vietnam, Mao as Chairman Mao by the people of China etc.

10. Singapore will be renamed Lee Kuan Yew City. That also means that when we fly, the luggage tags will be labelled not SIN but LKY.

sooner or later, the Cabinet should prepare for this moment of truth. can Singapore shine without the true commander-in-chief? only time will tell.

and perhaps at the funeral, her majesty Queen of England might appear for the last time to say goodbye to Harry.

life has to go on for the people, even though we have lost a great man.
