"Despite the very advanced economic prosperity that Singapore has, there’s a dark side to it, that the government is repressive,” he said. “What people think, that this is some kind of paradise – it isn’t.”

Under the rule of his brother, who was prime minister for 20 years until May, Lee Hsien Yang claims the authorities used what he called baseless allegations against him, his wife and his son to bring a series of legal actions. These “escalated to the point where I believe for my own personal safety I should not continue to live in Singapore”.

In a system that brooks little dissent, a ruling elite that prides itself on its reputation for probity is rarely denounced so thoroughly – especially by one of its own."

S'pore as an extremely stressful place to live in because of our competitive environment in education and the workplace. This leads to high levels of stress for those striving for success. We are the most expensive city in the world, making it a challenge to afford housing, cars and other necessities. Financial pressures contributes to stress and anxiety. Many of us work long hours, so have limited time for leisure or relaxation, leading to burnout and work-life balance issues. The high cost of living leads to social comparison and feelings of inadequacy for those without the 5Cs. All these are happening because S'pore is overcrowded and we are burdened with a wide variety of indirect taxation.

After he got rich from the founder of Singapore, now he condemns it. Haiz

Our leaders have long maintained a facade of competence, using this to justify exorbitant salaries, exceeding those of public servants in much larger and wealthier nations. This has contributed to the growing inequality gap between the wealthiest S'poreans and those with lower incomes. The ruling party must be prevented from using secrecy and non-disclosure to instill fear in citizens, leading us to believe that constant belt-tightening is necessary to safeguard the reserves. Meanwhile, a select few manage these reserves inefficiently, seemingly benefiting from their actions.

The son of Hamas' founder is the most qualified to share his experiences and why he chose to leave this terrorist organization. LHY knows how his family benefitted from the nepotism, and now wants to expose it. I see nothing wrong.

Omg..
How can we compare Hamas founder and LKY, founder of Singapore. 🤪🤦‍♂️

LKY never send his followers to kill, rape and kidnap la..aiyo...

He only rule with strict laws, against curruption.
Ensure 90% of Singaporean to have a home.
Big or small...

Like it or not, Opposition can win GE and rule Singapore. But they tell voters they cannot do it. What to do?😂

He had it all in Singapore.
Now he is saying Singapore is no good.
Founded by his father, highly regarded by others.
Why don't ask himself what has he contributed?
Why he needs to run away and be a refugee?

Concur to you. 👍

What I cannot accept his non stop whinings about Singapore is his hypocrisy.

"He enjoyed CEO $ and rumored affair in Singtel.
Rumored ask to step down by his daddy for the sake of his marriage."

Singaporean let him be to carry on his princely life out of respect to the founder.

Now come and kpkb nonstop, badmouthing Singapore. Act pitiful, wronged by Singapore law, disgraceful speech internationally.
F Him la..pui!!!

Ungrateful, spoil and stupid child of the founder. What a shame ....
LKY will denounce his relationship with him in heaven.

If he got problems with older bro, settled it with him. Go Sue, Fight him with bare hands, no Singaporean will gives a damn.
Coward!!!!! Chey!!!!

Don't use Singapore as a bogeyman and manipulate the Opposition political platform to his satisfy grudges.
小人一个。。。

Another typical Amos..🤪

UK Govt carefully considered and approved and granted him political asylum.

If you strongly feel that certain areas have been fabricated, please go ahead and take legal action against the UK Govt.

Bring it to The Int'l court @ The Hugue for arbitration

Do you know the phrase: "Missing the woods for the trees"? It means that you are focusing too much on the small details or individual elements, to the point that you lose sight of the bigger picture or overall goal. It is important to maintain a balance between attention to detail and a broader perspective here. Both Mosab Yousef and LHY were beneficiaries of a hypocritical system and spoke out against it after leaving.
