Yes, interesting view by the youngest son of LKY, but to understand what is behind his views you have to know his (LHY) history and the background for his falling out with his brother (LHL), the former PM of Singapore.
It is not a pretty history, with a lot of twists and turn. Family feuds are never pretty, nor necessarily easy to understand by outsiders.
PS> I lived in Singapore when this unfolded and watched the goings on, both through public channels and more informal ways.
The view from BBC World News:
My view: the opposition is too splintered to have any hope of winning seats in a “first across the line” election system inherited from Britain.
PS> Nothing from Trump himself, though.
Well, maybe PAP should thank HIM for their unexpectedly big win.
