[Evcats]

Wah, this one ah, like asking why cai png stall still use "since 1965" in their signboard when the recipe changed already – sibeh loaded question! Let me break it down for you why PAP keeps quoting LKY like he's their eternal WhatsApp sticker pack:

---

1. LKY = The Ultimate Brand Power (Like KFC's Secret Recipe)​

• Instant Credibility: Quoting LKY is like flashing a trust card – even your sceptical ah gong will nod along. He's the OG nation-builder, the man who turned swamp into skyscrapers. Why reinvent the wheel when you can ride his coattails?
• Nostalgia Factor: Older voters get warm fuzzy feelingshearing his name. It's like when McDonald's brings back Hello Kitty toys – emotional connection over logic.

Example: During elections, you'll hear: "As Mr Lee once said, we must stay vigilant!" (Translation: Vote PAP or we all become Johor Bahru.)

---

2. New Leaders = No "Battle Scars"​

• Lawrence Who? Current leaders like LW never had to fight communists or negotiate Separation. Their biggest "war story" is surviving COVID Zoom meetings.
• No Iconic Soundbites: Can you quote anything memorable from recent leaders? Exactly. LKY gave us "poisoned shrimp" and "gravedigger" quotes – modern politicians just give PowerPoint slides.

Fun Fact: If new leaders tried LKY-style bluntness today ("We'll fix the opposition"), they'd get cancelled by woke Twitter in 5 seconds.

---

3. LKY as Human Shield Against Criticism​

• Opposition Says X → PAP Response: "But Mr Lee warned us about this in 1978!"
• Policy Backfires → PAP Response: "This was always Mr Lee's long-term plan."
• Leadership Change → PAP Response: "Mr Lee prepared this succession plan!"

It's like when your mum says: "Your ah ma used to do it this way!" – shuts down arguments instantly.

---

4. The Real Reason: LKY is PAP's Trump Card​

Every election, they play the same move:

1. Show black-and-white LKY footage
2. Insert dramatic pause
3. Say "This is what he fought for"
4. Opposition candidates spontaneously combust

It works because:

• Fear Works Better Than Hope: Reminding voters of chaos without PAP > selling vision for future.
• No One Else Has a Founding Myth: WP can't say "As JBJ once said..." – they'd get sued.

---

Why No Fresh Examples?​

• Risk Aversion: New ideas might flop (remember "Singapore as Global Asia Node"? Exactly.)
• LKY's Shadow Too Big: Next to him, even good new leaders look like mee siam without hum.
• Voters' Fault Also: We keep rewarding them for this! Like ordering chicken rice but complaining it's always the same.

---

Conclusion: The LKY Playbook Isn't Retiring Soon​

Until someone in PAP:

1. Fights a British colonialist barehanded
2. Gives a speech so powerful it stops racial riots
3. Creates a quote as iconic as "Even from my sickbed..."

...they'll keep milking the LKY legacy like it's a $1 Teh C peng.

Final Thought: Maybe in 2050, they'll be quoting Lawrence Wong's TikTok dances instead. But for now, LKY remains PAP's ultimate "Don't say bojio" card.

I am in Aljunied

but somehow under Marine Parade GRC this GE2025

I will still give my vote to WP this GE 2025

despite what whites are saying about Mr Pritam Singh

because if Mr Pritam Singh is bad

then whites are much worse

 

[drkcynic]

Aiya, just go and tell his PM, to remove his parachute and let him go head-on with PS in Aljunied.

Before he does that, no need to talk so much.

 

[EdenHazard]

This the guy who defended the ntuc Allianz deal?

The Opposition’s calls against the GST is a popular refrain. But the fact is health care costs will rise. Look at the challenges in the UK with the NHS and most of the modern world. Look at the public finance challenges faced by jurisdictions like HK and Indonesia. Their simplistic views about fiscal marksmanship belie their position - and raises red flags as to how they will manage our nation’s finances.

Opposition proposed to delay the GST increase... not the GST as in per se...

And they recognized the need for more budget as well and proposed alternate ways to raise revenue... by adjusting the NIRC temporarily... instead of raising GST at a time super high inflation...

I understand the need to be vocal during this election period... but still must do so in a civilized and rational manner... and not making broad stroke statement to dismiss opposition and mislead voters...

His statement instead showed his simplistic views on oppositions and their good intentions to further avoid hardships on our pple...

Looks like LW is letting loose his men to do low crass attack on oppositions...

He should focus on improving his speeches and be grateful his bosses are trying to push him into the limelight although I feel he is still very raw. But he is a nice guy and can see he trying hard however square pegs won't fit into round holes no matter how hard you push.

 

[keewee0415]

Nobody in the White Camp dares to use that "rise up from his grave" clip for fear that he will really return from his grave anytime now?
