At his 90th birthday celebrations (not that we care!), ex-President S R said that working with Lee Hsien Loong was the most positive aspect of his term:
“I experienced directly, his warmth, and his understanding nature, something which cannot always be communicated through public gatherings.”
Why, of course, Lee is cordial only to those who see eye to eye with him. If you disagree with him or step on his tail, you get:
1. Sued for not a derisory amount of money and/or sacked from your job;
2. Harassed and investigated by the ISD.
And oh by the way, hasn’t Nathan said whatever he wanted to say in his book and post-presidency interviews with the state media?
Is this another attempt to fashion an image for Lee as a “caring” and “listening” Prime Minister?

SINGAPORE: At his 90th birthday celebrations on Thursday evening, former President S R Nathan spoke warmly of the years he worked closely with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
He said he came to know Mr Lee well, both as a colleague and a personal friend.
Mr Nathan said: “I experienced directly, his warmth, and his understanding nature, something which cannot always be communicated through public gatherings. Working with him was among the most positive aspects of my presidential term, and for that I thank you, Mr Prime Minister.”
Mr Nathan’s celebration was attended by more than 700 guests at the Shangri-La hotel.
His thank you speech named several of Singapore’s founding fathers – former Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, and the late Dr Goh Keng Swee and Mr S Rajaratnam — both former deputy prime ministers.
