An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
The massive unprecedented outpouring of grief for founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew will also not necessarily lead to voters casting ballots for the ruling party without thinking. With his death, Mr Lee has risen above partisan politics. He no longer belongs exclusively to the PAP — a party he co-founded in 1955 and led as secretary-general to 1992.
The late Mr Lee is now a national hero — he belongs to every Singaporean. As such, any blatant attempt to exclusively claim Mr Lee for the PAP’s sole benefit will probably provoke a backlash at the ballot boxes, if not earlier. However, an “LKY dividend” may only be in his Tanjong Pagar ward, which he represented between April 1955 and March this year.
