人既已逝，人言也善；贊詞之中，一如既往，當然都是不吝溢美之詞。全球領導，草根之民說起，都給李光耀戴了九十九頂高帽。沒有被報導的，則是一將功成背後的萬骨已枯。

The current state of Singapore has proven whatever decision / policies made by LKY / PAP in the past decades, are mostly correct and benefit to the growth of Singapore.
What is important now, is the decisions / policies which made and implements by LHL / PAP in the past ten years and the next 20 years.
Will most of decisions be correct and beneficial to future of Singapore? Only History will tell us the answer, few decades or 30~40 years from now.

Reason why magic najib is taking his own sweet time to go to ky funeral
1. Magic Najib father was Tun Razak (2nd Malaysia PM).
2. Tun Razak insisted on arresting KY under malaysia's ISA. So KY dare not enter Malaysia until long after Tun Razak was dead.
3. When Tun Razak funeral was held in KL, then SBC news had scheduled broadcast a news scene of the wake in their program
4. Immediately, the on duty news team in SBC received a call from KY in person, asking to them to censor ALL news regarding Tun Razak.
5. The words was alleged to be "This is My TV and there will be absolutely no news about THIS MAN."
6. Magic Najib was said to be angry at this slight.

The televised separation announcement in 1965
Singaporeans have been told that it was Malaysia who had kicked us out of the federation in 1965 after the late Tunku Abdul Rahman, then prime minister of Malaysia, felt it was no longer viable – even dangerous – for Singapore to remain as part of the country.
A young and teary eyed Lee Kuan Yew who was then prime minister of Singapore mourned the expulsion: "For me it is a moment of anguish. All my life... my whole adult life...I have believed in merger..."
There have been some revelations in certain circles since that fateful day that raise questions about some long-held notions about the split.
Author T J S George, for example, recounted in his book Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore, that the Tunku was more surprised than he was moved when he saw Mr Lee in tears over the break-up. The Tungku said: "I don't know why Mr Lee acted like that...he was quite pleased about [the split]."
Mr George added that Mr Lee had gone to KL himself to see the Malaysian prime minister about Singapore's stormy relations with its neighbour. A day later, he called some of his cabinet colleagues (the late) S Rajaratnam, then Minister for Culture, and (the late) Dr Toh Chin Chye, former deputy prime minister and the founding chairman of the PAP to meet him in KL.
The author wrote that Mr Lee arranged it so that his two ministers did not travel together, which the two ministers alleged found the arrangements unusual. Despite accompanying Mr Lee to that meeting in KL, Dr Toh was, said to be equally surprised when he first saw Mr Lee's anguished reaction to the split. In an 2012 interview, he was reported to say: "I don't understand him at all. On one hand, he worked so hard for merger. Having gotten the cupful, he shattered it. And then cried over it."
Mr Lee also made an interestingly significant remark about Singapore’s separation from Malaysia in his eulogy at the state funeral for his colleague-in-arms, former Deputy Prime Minister Goh Keng Swee, that he had asked Dr Goh to negotiate a looser rearrangement for Singapore, but to keep Singapore within Malaysia. But Dr Goh, according to him, decided that the best alternative was a clean break from malaysia.
MM Lee’s remark is intriguing in the light of the conventional narrative of the events leading up to Separation in 1965. His remarks suggest that the decision to break away from Malaysia was decided unilaterally by Dr Goh at the crucial moment; against the proposition MM Lee, and perhaps the collective Cabinet, had decided; which was at the very least, to still remain a part of the Malaysian federation of states.
To further mystify things, a purported declassified memo from the archives of the British Colonial Office reported that Mr Lee had instructed the press or media not to print pictures of him smiling when he made the announcement of the separation.
So, was the story that Malaysia kicked Singapore out actually more complex than it seems? We will never know since the parties involved have taken it to their grave.
