Mavericks with broken heads

SDP: What Mr Lee Kuan Yew really wants is a maverick who will do things his way. Surely a contradiction, no? But why not? The PAP itself is one big contradiction: It wants Singapore to be an information hub when it completely controls the media; Ministers like Mr Khaw Boon Wan admonishes Singaporeans to “grow up” and “not let the Government direct [us] to do this or do that” while the Government witholds our CPF savings even after we retire because we may “squander them away”. If anyone needs to grow up it is the PAP. The party’s infantile propaganda cannot fool the people all the time.
