I'm sure its somewhere in their history books, but maybe these youngsters weren't paying attention.<br /><br />About LKY treasuring his Order of St Michael and St George, its not surprising. LKY was, and is an Anglophile at heart. <br />PAP emphasising "Chinese" language and culture was just politics, to gain support from the Chinese-educated working class. Later, the emphasis on Mandarin was on a view to tap what he wisely foresaw as China's rise, and also a practical way to maintain Singapore's identity , avoiding a nation of Westernised Bananas without any unique identity.Singa-purapuranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-59942222454326295072013-08-12T10:28:09.195+08:002013-08-12T10:28:09.195+08:00'Then as he got older, he began to regret the ...'Then as he got older, he began to regret the Singaporean Chinese leaving behind their 'chineseness'.

It's just so happened that towards his later life, he sees China's rapid rise to become a global & influential world power, both in economic & politics. Thus the re-emphasizing of the Mandarin. Remember, too that he is a still a die-hard opponent to the re-introducing of various Chinese dialects back to circulation!<br /><br />LKY is not infallible. His eugenic remark about graduate parents produce better off-spring is RUBBISH, in the sum totality of child development.<br /><br />But, no one could find fault with his geopolitical views about the current world affairs.

One of the best things he did was to persuade Singaporeans that they were all equal citizens of the island State (or red dot, if you prefer).That was a powerful statement of equality where race became secondary. Then as he got older, he began to regret the Singaporean Chinese leaving behind their 'chineseness'. He reminded them to speak Chinese (Mandarin, etc, basically denying his own legacy to the state so much so that the PAP theoretician (and former Foreign Minister), Mr Raja Ratnam, shook his head in disbelief. So I really do not how much credibility one should give to his latest musings. Maybe he is just too old and is getting senile.
