Eugenics In Singapore

Singapore Democrats
Mr Lee Kuan Yew recently said at the Human Capital Summit held last month: "You marry a non-graduate, then you are going to worry if your son or daughter is going to make it to the university."
Don't gasp. The Minister Mentor was just restating his long-held view that smart people (read university graduates) produce smart people. Such a Hitlerian outlook is repulsive. But in Singapore, no one dares to oppose the man.
In his book A Nation Cheated, Dr Chee Soon Juan reproduces some of Mr Lee's comments on the subject and discusses how they have tragically moulded the Singaporean society:If truth be told, the PAP's neglect of the poor stems directly from Lee Kuan Yew's personal philosophy. In 1967, the Minister Mentor said that every society has approximately 5 percent of the population:
who are more than ordinarily endowed physically and mentally and in whom we must extend our limited and slender resources in order that they will provide that yeast, that ferment, that catalyst in our society which alone will ensure that Singapore shall maintain its pre-eminent place in the societies that exist in South and Southeast Asia.
Lee repeated his ideas in 1969, this time even more forcefully:
Free education and subsidised housing lead to a situation where the less economically productive people in the community are reproducing themselves at rates higher than the rest. This will increase the total population of less productive people. Our problem is how to devise a system of disincentives, so that the irresponsible, the social delinquents, do not believe that all they have to do is to produce their children and the government then owes them and their children sufficient food, medicine, housing, education and jobs...We must encourage those who earn less than $200 per month and cannot afford to nurture and educate many children never to have more than two. We will regret the time lost if we do not now take the first tentative steps towards correcting a trend which can leave our society with a large number of the physically, intellectually and culturally anaemic.
The Minister Mentor, then Senior Minister, made this point again in 1993:
Singaporeans will not become successful and prosperous by talking and concentrating on dividing the pie. Our journalists write about who are the poor. Give them some money. If he can't study because he's too busy helping his father, we must look after his father and him. We are concentrating on our navels!
One of his faithful ministers, the late S Rajaratnam, echoed his sentiment by sneering, "We want to teach people the government is not a rich uncle. You get what you pay for. We are moving in the direction of making people pay for everything."
Cannot be lah. Our beloved LKY wouldn't have said this kind of thing one. Must be opposition make something up as usual right? See and hear it for yourself.
This is fucking prejudice and narrow minded man. He think funny ah? Still can laugh about it. He is right on one front though, HE WILL LOSE VOTES but not just because of this. I believe the people are starting to see for themselves what they have been living under. People want to marry who is their own business. You think what, only graduates who marry graduates can have children who can go to university ah? (I speak from personal experience) FUCK you understand. Academia is not the only thing that matters in life old man. Many people only study for the sake of the paper because you have created a country that values paper more than people. Who makes up the spine of our country? It's the working class ok. The people who are putting money into your super high salary that even the President of USA don't earn. All your super scholar only know how to talk cock. Who actually do all the work? Without the working class, you got all the scholar also no use. Your scholar will end up being the norm and then you will need to breed more super elites. The super elites who don't for a moment know anything about showing grace and humility to others. People who don't know what the common people go through in life everyday. Seriously lah, we're humans, not cows or pigs. If my children can't make it to university for whatever reason, life goes on. I'll still love them all the same. What are they going to do next? Gas all the non-graduates because they are leeching the country's resources? If this is the future of Singapore, I don't want to be a part of it. Thanks for your contributions but no thanks. This is not the kind of philosophy I want my leaders to have. This is a dangerous mentality to have my friends and you know it
