1st World Democracy?

I was really made speechless by what our two elite leaders said earlier this week.

PM Lee told our two mainstream media that as far as age is concerned none of the current cabinet ministers qualify to succeed him as PM. He thus will have to remain as PM for another 13 years as he looks for a successor.

I wonder if Singapore is practicing democracy or a dynasty where the emperor appoints his own successor.

But what is more appalling is his narrow-minded view on the prerequisite of a PM. He indicated that the PM must have 4As in his A Level Examinations.

No wonder Singapore never progress beyond a nanny state. It is ruled by a parochial and grade-obsessed school master!

In an interview with The Straits Times, MM Lee said Singaporeans are being complacent when they believe that the government will take care of all security matters. Is he trying to push the blame on Mas Selamat’s jail break to the people?

I’m dumbstruck that a leader of MM Lee’s statute would try to shirk responsibility. Doesn’t he always claim that we are a 1^st world nation? Shouldn’t 1^st world government take responsibility of its actions and mistakes and be prepared to be judged?

Maybe we do have the 1st world hardware but the software is still stuck in the 3^rd world!
