Did you wonder why suddenly there is a non- stop coverage of Lee Kuan Yew daily?
- x2 (not 1) new books launched with daily full page ads and editorial every where you turned?
- Life Time achievement awards presented in his absentia with lavish ceremonies as he hits 90 years old.
- $200 million raised for his LKY funds as tribute to his birthday by the unversities and Singapore's rich/elites with PM Lee (his son) announcing a govt match to funds raised ($200 M:Total $400 M).
- All done with full media bliss.
- The Chinese Pictorial book and daily headlines and main section cover of his pictures from the book.
- Most done under the 'PR' Management of SPH and most published /edited by SPH which is still quasi managed & controlled to date by his political party and govt links.
So the greatest show on earth today in Singapore(as large as a major Movie release by Moviestudios) is the, "Lee Kuan Yew Show" by SPH and Party.
Wondered Why? other than his 90th Birthday celebrations... or To Create The Start of the propaganda for the man reaching his final stages.
Like it or not, this show will go on from now on and will become even bigger. Courtesy of SPH, govt & Tax Payers (like Tanjong pagar GRC Residents Still paying his salary).
Will Singapore get a bigger statue than of current Sir Stamford Raffles' in Marina Bay of LKY? We will never know...
Let the show go on while ordinary Singaporeans still grapple with our daily challenges trying to survive and put food on our tables...
