He is translating a Chinese saying and remarking that we are very vulnerable, not price setters but price takers. (You are right, you misunderstand the PM) In the context of the link you showed us, I am sure you agree that Singapore cannot decide and coerce China and the US to do her bidding. <br /><br />I notice that you take very trivial matters like allegedly insensitive remarks like Lui Tuck Yew suggesting that shopping can be done and cars driven on a Sunday, Teo Chee Hean putting a picture of a rainbow (I thought it was a beautiful tribute to LKY!) and portray it as a sign that this country is going to the dogs. This post no different. <br /><br />I understand the nostalgia for the older generation of leaders but Lee Kuan Yew really relinquished power in the mid-80s (He said in a 1988 election rally that the electorate is judging Goh Chok Tong's performance not his) and was very frail towards his final years and could not and was not allowed to have a say (He admitted in a 2007 INSEAD forum that the role of Minster Mentor is a toothless one) in policy making. The island didn't sink. You should give more credit to LKY's successors.<br /><br />MSMMMSMMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852717036526979577.post-18233906356779874362015-04-12T12:04:08.583+08:002015-04-12T12:04:08.583+08:00I share your worry.
