Kuan Yew still keen to know about welfare of Chinese in Malaysia
The Malaysian Insider, 9 Jun 2009, Shannon Teoh
KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 - It's been nearly 50 years but the
man who cried when Malaysia kicked Singapore out of the federation is
still curious about how the Chinese in Malaysia are doing.
It was telling that former Singapore prime minister Lee Kuan Yew's first diplomatic meeting in his week-long visit to Malaysia was with MCA leaders last night. He only met Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today.
The 90-minute meeting between Singapore's minister mentor and five MCA
leaders led by president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat saw an exchange on
various issues that continue to concern the Chinese in Malaysia.
It is no secret that education and economic policies are a constant
thorn in the side for MCA, who are now struggling to regain the support
of the Chinese electorate, where eight out of 10 are said to support
the opposition.
Ong told reporters that Lee exchanged notes on the "competitiveness of the Chinese and the political situation in Malaysia."
The Malaysian Insider understands that education systems were also on
the agenda and the presence of MCA's education pointman and Youth chief
Datuk Wee Ka Siong would have made for very current discussions on
government scholarships and classes conducted in Chinese.
Ong also called the meet a "learning experience" and a source told The
Malaysian Insider that the 86-year-old statesman's knowledge of
Malaysian history could put some Malaysian leaders to shame.
Lee regaled his guests at his
presidential suite in Mandarin Oriental with tales from the past,
including his encounters with his counterpart the late Tunku Abdul
Rahman, who was Malaysia's first prime minister until 1970.
The conversation was mostly in English and Lee was his usual astute
self but there were some light-hearted moments involving health secrets
which left the MCA leaders "hoping to be as fit as Lee when we are his
age."
Another highlight of Lee's week-long visit will be the mainly Chinese island of Penang.
He will meet leaders of two majority Chinese parties - DAP which now
controls the state with Lim Guan Eng as chief minister and Gerakan as
represented by Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon who is now in Najib's Cabinet.

you muther farker L.K.Y
He still thinks he is the one to lead both Malaysia and Singapore
Fark you senile bastard, just die like all the other leaders of your time
This old bastard still refuses to die.
He is very stubborn.
you muther farker L.K.Y
Just say "you mother fucker Lee Kuan Yew".
It is more clear.
Some foreign people might not understand what "L.K.Y" refers to.
people, be patient, soon soon soon king of hell will welcome him.
didn't u people see him recently on TV. His movement worse than before, walks very slow. This is sign of running out of energy. Saw a few old relatives walk like that before they passed on.
I think Lee Kuan Yew should die now, otherwise some people see his face on TV become very agitated.
He is old but still insists on keeping a high profile.
Weird bastard.
Old and he has become useless now, exist as MM to suck more money from us. In the past he contributed nation building, now he is contributing nuisance. To have him in the cabinet, to have him as leader is a liability to Singapore. Moreover, he is getting more and more senile.
During Goh Chok Tong's time he was not that active, did not visit so many countries or give lectures, but after his son took over, he started to become more active, every few weeks want to give a lecture, fly here fly there.
Looks like it was all just a facade with Goh Chok Tong.
Sad to see Singapore have this type of control freak ruling us.
of course he loves travelling, he does not need to pay for it. Seems he and the president and lau goh competing on who travel the most. lau goh and nathan travelled again
Compare pay with corporate world. In corporate world, travelling is minimize during recession, bad times. But to them they still don't bother about cutting cost for travelling. As usual , they do all that benefit them.
Singapore would benefit greatly if Lee Kuan Yew dies now.
Whether sg will benefit if he dies now, i am not sure. Singaporeans oppression may be reduced after he goes, this I believe.

He is just a figure. Singapore will be around with or without him.
He is just a figure
But the people in Singapore are living under his repressive rule.

He is still a figure, what do you think of Stamford Raffles at Empress Place. A figure?
he is not just a figure.
Mr Chee won't lose if the old freak never interfer.
His useless son is no fight against Dr Chee.
Talking about Dr Chee, all the LEES didn't achieve the title "Dr."
did they? for my information i didn't see any Dr. Lee around.
sorry, don't seem to be able to edit my posting. it should read:
<it was telling that former sg prime minister lee kuan yew's first diplomatic meeting in his week-long visit to malaysia was with mca leaders last night. he only met prime minister datuk seri najib razak today.>
so malaysia insider's info is correct!
Dr. Chee don't have a face and charisma of a reliable leader.
So how would the people place their confidence with someone who doesn't look like a leader but insists on trying to be one?
But yes, he's stubborn cos he really looks like a very stubborn person.
Even if people really need to support a rebel, they are at least wise enough to cast their votes at the better-looking one.
For example, John McCain and Obama...one is old and chui-looking, the other is tall-dark and handsome.
Of course Obama will win the elections lor.....
