Carl Trocki doesn't like Lee Kuan Yew.

Hehe, I'm reading certain segments of one of his books, Singapore: Wealth, Power and the Culture of Control and parts of a particular paragraph reads:

"It is difficult to determine whether Lee's socialism, egalitarianism, multiracialism and support for a merger with Malaysia in the early 1960s were real or simply part of the grand scheme to gain power...Circumstantial evidence and the knowledge of subsequent events shows clearly that the Lee and his immediate lieutenants had from the beginning mapped out a careful strategy for taking power, and that neither ideology nor personal relationships restricted them. Once in power, they never let go and they, as David Marshall attested, were utterly ruthless with their opponents."

Geez, no wonder according to a New Paper survey conducted in the late 1990s, when posted the question of why Lee (feels strange referring to the Minister Mentor of Singapore that, considering I share the same surname) cried on 9 August 1965 on separation from Malaysia, one of the respondents had said "he was so happy, he was crying tears of joy." Heh. I bet he got the only A for history in his school *coughs..chokes..*.... NOT.
