- Despite “tensions” between him and the late Lee Kuan Yew towards the end of his political career, former Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo was eventually able to find closure and reconcile with the man who first beckoned him to enter politics, said the 68-year-old in an interview on Monday (Aug 14).

You need strong leadership when country is broken and kind and caring leadership when country is developed.
"Remember your place in society before you engage in political debate. Debate cannot degenerate into a free-for-all where no distinction is made between the senior and junior party, or what the Hokkiens describe as "boh tua, boh suay". You must make distinctions - what is high, what is low, what is above, what is below - and then within this, we can have a debate, we can have a discussion."
George Yeo
George Yeo was reciting what his father or grandmother or mother might have told him when he was young. This is the Chinese dictum that was prevalent in the 50s through the 60s. Only a weak father or leader demands obeisance from his underlings.
This Logic you Quoted only Valid B4 LKY Packed David Marshall ( The Author of SG’s Constitution) off to France … Since then , PAP made so many Changes, Our Constitution is now Unrecognisable…. Fortunately Full Name of Singapore starts with the Word “ REPUBLIC “ 😊
Nonsense.
@@kowakoh He was referring to the Catherine Lim controversy in 1994.
George Yeo is already out of Singapore politics for donkey years , still need to use Singapore Government title to brand himself to the world ? without the minister title , who is he today 2023 ?
My humble wish would be to see George Yeo becoming President of Singapore. ❤
LKY prepared 30 years ago to put ah yeo and others to go to school to the university in singapore and SAF.
And now ah yeo thinks he could read LKY mind. Remembered,
Ah yeo was not born yet 30 years ago and later on he joined pap, he tried to read LKY mind.
Crazy ah yeo. Better to ask your bird in a cage to sing you a song. Leave the great man alone.
yeah, why are you a Catholic? George Yeo talks so highly of Chinese values and Chinese civilization, yet his faith is in western religion.
He once said because of some miracle by a Catholic saint that cure his child illness. Could be co-incident or the slow effect of medicine.
LKY,right real man legend Strong man 😂Big boss man LKy legend
George Yeo would still be serving Singapore in the government if not for Aljunied voters voting him out. Many Singaporeans don't realize that public service at that level is a tough job and there are very few people who are willing to step up. and those who step down, they are unlikely to return. So please vote wisely and don't think that the opposition has got a cabinet of capable leaders waiting in line to serve you with the same standard as PAP.
Voters are under no obligation to vote for a certain party or for certain policies.
@@PoliticalWeeklyVoters who seen the up and downs and economic crisis and cycle will understand why its important to have a steadfast and reliable government. Not someone who fly by night and quit when the going get tough. Just like PM in UK example. So many young voters are just following the fashionable mentally of objecting for the sake of objecting, even if its voting for a Chim to oppose PAP. Sad, but true. And this is Singapore, one of the most educated country in the world
Think you forgot who went to challenge n spurned the aljunied voters against the party...only a dumb dumb can't see a Machiavelli move to remove a potential future contender for pm role.
@@kilotami909 A fickle public is part and parcel of living in a democracy. If you dislike that, then support a party that will establish a liberal dictatorship.
Being fickle is fine, but let's not get into the habit of fabricating fake news to attack any individual who is stepping forward to serve the country.
Catholic n Teochew ? Why is it a problem?
Chinese have an inferiority complex issue. They’re obsess with the white mans culture and religion. No wonder chinese women prefer is indian men!
Teochew is the largest dialect group in Sg, certainly not hakkas..and teochew hv a preference for their own kind.
not teochew , hugging china legs to be a favorite son of China CCP
Already history lah still never end talking. He probably reborn somewhere. Wait for the sign.
A big part of the underlying reason for that tension was that deep down, I’m sure LKY knew that GY is infinitely more capable than his son…. And would therefore pose a serious threat to his PMship
If so, then WP is actually helping LKY and LHL loh
If aljunied didn't vote him out back then, he could be the 4th gen PM. I dun see how that can threaten LHL

Had "tension" with LKY. He must be good. The problem in Singapore is nobody had the courage to tell a LKY that GDP growth is the wrong economic KPI. That is why after 6 decades Singaore still does not have a Swiss Standard of Living.
Switzerland doesn't have a swiss standard of living either.
@@PoliticalWeekly Are you ok? The Swiss have a Swiss Standard of Living - by definition.
@@franciscody9622 What I meant to say was that their vaunted standard of living is nowhere near as luxurious as is often portrayed. Switzerland is a wealthy western European country with a broad middle class. Singapore is a wealthy SE asian country with a broad middle class. Both have high levels of inequality. If you want Singaporeans to have a higher standard of living, you'd know that GDP Growth is the right economic KPI because their GDP per capita is higher than ours.
Swiss standard for the elites can afford $26,000 a month rental for Ridout. For others Swaziland standard even they change the name to eSwatini now.
Actually SG already have a very high standard of living international wise. If you don't think so, maybe you should travel out more. And no, no country has its citizen living stress free. Developed or developing.
Very clearly and very evidently as can be witnessed by all, you can 'see' the 'turmoil storm' that is churning within his mind. The years of conditioning of such complex mind in order to navigate the political and social complexities is taking a toll on him without him realizing it. The same is evident in many so-called 'successful' and material rich people who are similarly inflicted with the 'burden' of a complex mind that they will have to carry with them for many many aeons to come. How many more aeons of unconditioning and unlearning before they can put down this 'burden', come out of their mind prison and realize bliss. Only oneself can decide. Before one can even decide, they have to be aware of it in the first place and be consciously and consistently mindful of it. You can only choose to be smart or to be wise. One is not the other and you cannot have the cake and eat it if you truly understand what it is all about. *End of preaching*
This country must slowly move away from pap style of governance
Don't agree
Then which style do you prefer ?
Why "slow"? Why not fast and right now? Where is the Swiss Standard of Living?
@@capricorn839 Swiss style to get Swiss Standard of Living.
@@franciscody9622the fastest way is you migrate there..😂
Singapore’s LKY, My Favourite Dictator ! Bad Habits include Land Grab, Destroying Not Only Political Adversaries But also Influential Ppl,Families and sometimes even entire Communities . Has penchant to Play Robbin-Hood , sometimes even God & Quick to Covertly Change Laws to Suit . An attention seeker & pbly has undiagnosed OCD . Tragically, No one Bothered/ Dare intervene to rescue his reckless Kids in Lee Family Saga fiasco . Strangely almost ALL LKY’s Trusted Generals hv either Distanced or Declined High Office Appointments after his Passing. Interestingly, Timing of Both LKY & his Blue Eyed Boy & henchman , Ex Comm Of Police, Goh Yong Hong passed within Weeks in 2015 , Coincidentally After serious Allegations that Will Criminally Implicate Both Filed in the Singapore High Court. RIP Buddy, KARMA rdy at Work ❤️
The man who deserved to be voted out
You're not even qualify to lead the Oppo
Tension is the reason for yr exit !!! Without their approval, WP will not win the election. That tell us how "democratic " is Singapore election
You're very bitter toxic person. He already got elected out a decade ago, I stay in Aljunied I already have 2 WP MP already, let it rest lah, life so hard up for what. He also not a threat, he just looking to enjoy his money and life.
Singapore is not a democracy because if the lack of basic freedoms and a free press.
Other than lies and deceptions, as evident in the recent ridout bungalow case, there is nothing the oppositions can contribute to the country.🤣🤣
Your parents wasted their money on your education.
