My parents is fair enough tell me what happen during their time , talk about Lim Chin Siong beside LKY. As my parents is not bias on anyone be it LKY or Lim Chin Siong when want to learn the Real history of SG. Guess the current gen will not even know who is Lim Chin Siong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lim_Chin_Siong
" Lim's achievements include co-founding the PAP, galvanising the trade unions against colonialism, and predicting correctly that the marriage of Malaya and Singapore as a single country would be short-lived. " But LKY talk like is he claim hmm
according from Mainstream media CNA , " From our archives: Singapore is "like the durian"; try and squeeze it, you get hurt, said founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. In a speech delivered not long after Singapore separated from Malaysia in 1965, Mr Lee said that while the country is small in size, it's not easy to put the screws on its people. "
Yet, these achievements have generally been overshadowed by the allegations that:
He was a communist, and that Singapore could have become communist; and
He was the mastermind behind numerous subversive activities against the government. "
" Lim was elected into the Legislative Assembly as the Assembly Member for Bukit Timah in 1955. Lim was the youngest Assemblyman ever to be elected in Singapore's history, at the age of 22. Lim seemed to be an extremely promising politician, even in the eyes of Lee Kuan Yew. Chief Minister David Marshall recalled that Lee had introduced Lim to him, and said that Lim would be the "future Prime Minister of Singapore".

PAP got defeated before lost lots of votes due to LCS Charm.

Under Lim Chin Siong ....Singapore would have ended up a poorer, more relaxed and happier society.
Under LKY, we have more money but unevenly distributed, extreme stress and nbusload of unhappiness.
LKY is like the father who hot housed his children to achieve more economically like it or not through discipline and strict rules.
Anyone else not just Lim, Singapore would have progressed at a slow pace like Penang, Taiwan etc.
Every society makes it tradeoffs, there is no free lunch ....a price is paid for every gain...but that price is it worth it?
Money may not be success and success may not lead to happiness and meaningful lives....the complexity of human needs is hard to fathom once we go beyond the basic needs.
Wealth and misery is sometimes intertwined.
A wealthy society that does not procreate to refresh itself ends up as a failed society.
The much vaulted view that Singapore leaders and LKY have long term vision may not true...in fact if we look further on and beyond....I think they failed to appreciate the complexities of human society.
GST from PAP have money evenly redistributed, poor will get more than rich. This is an excellent scheme by PAP!
