What do you think of the controversy with Singapore Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew inviting...?

..Chinese official Li Lanqing to receive an honorary doctorate in Literature from the National University of Singapore on July 6, 2006? Li Lanqing is accused of crimes against Falun Gong practitioners, who request MM Lee Kuan Yew to withdraw the aforesaid award. Economic wisdom or politically wrong move?

What do you think of the controversy with Singapore Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew inviting...?
I didn't read about that..I'm not informed enough to make an educated comment on this at the moment. Even if I was, I'm not sure if it would be wise to say anything here. I'm answering this just to give you moral support (and me - 2 points...although it lowers my best answers average...).





You know, on a side note, even if self-censorship wasn't so prevalent amongst Singaporeans, I doubt you'd get many answers on a question like this from them. Singaporeans are just politically apathetic.....They are too busy answering questions on dating, movie stars and other inconsequential topics like "do you like my avatar?".
Reply:yes it is. so, do you like my avatar? *grin* Report It

Reply:hmm..yea, Adorable. Report It

Reply:another reason to drop another bomb.
Reply:Politics as usual.

Does anyone know a story or legend about ghosts and the yew tree?

Tell, even a short story or a brief narrative. I revere the Yew trees and I am very curious about them. Please also tell, if possible, the place where the story or legend happened and if you have any saxon ascendance.

Does anyone know a story or legend about ghosts and the yew tree?
The yew's reputation for long life is due to the unique way in which the tree grows. Its branches grow down into the ground to form new stems, which then rise up around the old central growth as separate but linked trunks. After a time, they cannot be distinguished from the original tree. So the yew has always been a symbol of death and rebirth, the new that springs out of the old, and a fitting tree for us to study at the beginning of this new year. As the days now grow longer with the beginning of a new solar cycle, we move into the future on the achievements of the past, new creativity springs forth grounded in the accomplishments of " the year gone by.

For a research paper on Lee Kuan Yew, what would be an interesting angle or specific topic?

Hi guys. I really need help with my term paper(I know it's the holidays, but i just want to finish with my paper immediately.;p). My general topic is Lee Kuan Yew, but i dunno what my specific topic should be. Could you guys please give me an interesting specific topic? Or a possible thesis statement? Our paper's supposed to be around 10 pages long.





I'm going to the National Library of Singapore tomorrow to continue my research there, so it'd be better if i'll get some answers right away. Thanks in advance.:)

How about looking at his "ends justify the means" political practices?








Legacy


During the three decades in which Lee held office, Singapore grew from being a developing country to one of the most developed nations in Asia, despite its small population, limited land space and lack of natural resources. Lee has often stated that Singapore's only natural resources are its people and their strong work ethic. He is widely respected by many Singaporeans, particularly the older generation, who remember his inspiring leadership during independence and the separation from Malaysia. He has often been credited with being the architect of Singapore's present prosperity, although the role was also played by his Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Goh Keng Swee, who was in charge of the economy.








[edit] Controversies


On the other hand, some Singaporeans and foreigners [3] have criticized Lee as elitist and even an autocrat, and that the economic prosperity under Lee was achieved at the expense of much political and social freedom. Lee was once quoted as saying he preferred to be feared than loved.[4] A believer that the ends justify the means, Lee often prescribed certain measures, seen as repressive by some, to safeguard national security and interests.





Lee has been criticized for implementing some harsh measures to suppress political opposition and freedom of speech, such as outlawing public demonstrations without an explicit police permit, the restriction of the press freedom, and the use of defamation lawsuits to bankrupt political opponents, such as Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam, Tang Liang Hong and Chee Soon Juan. On political matters, public opinion was rarely solicited.





On the above issue, Devan Nair, the third president of Singapore and who was living in exile in Canada, remarked in a 1999 interview with the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail that Lee's technique of suing his opponents into bankruptcy or oblivion was an abrogation of political rights. He also remarked that Lee is 'an increasingly self-righteous know-all', surrounded by 'department store dummies'. In response to these remarks, Lee sued Devan Nair in a Canadian court and Nair countersued.[6] Lee then brought a motion to have Nair's counterclaim thrown out of court. Lee argued that Nair's counterclaim disclosed no reasonable cause of action and constituted an inflammatory attack on the integrity of the government of Singapore. However, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice refused to throw out Nair's counterclaim, holding that Lee had abused the litigating process and therefore Nair has a reasonable cause of action. [[5]]. After his death, The Economist published an obituary of Nair which was critical of Lee Kuan Yew. The following issue, The Economist published a letter from a Singaporean official which claimed Nair's drunkenness was a source of his mental disturbance in his latter years. The Economist did not publish other letters that were supportive of Nair due to the reason that the publication would be forced into another lengthy libel trial.





On one occasion, after a court ruling in favour of Lee was overturned by the Privy Council, the government abolished the right of appeal to the Council. Throughout Lee's premiership from 1959 to 1990, the Internal Security Act was invoked several times to arrest and detain a number of people without trial, often for alleged involvement in "pro-Communist" or "Marxist" activities. Chia Thye Poh, a former MP of the opposition Barisan Socialis, was detained for 32 years, including nine years on the resort island of Sentosa. In order to give full authority to the judges in their judicial decisions, Lee abolished the jury system in the courts. He argued that jurors are more liable to be swayed emotionally whereas a judge would be more objective and impartial.
