Didn't he have a tiltle called "資政"?
Speaking LKY, do you know the story about LTH and LKY? LTH once asked
people in Taiwan who is more dictator, him or LKY? LKY heard it, he
refused to visit Taiwan until LTH stepped down. They used to be good
friends but they did not talk to each other since.. So LKY must hate
people calling him "dictator".
LKY and CCK were very good friends, LKY visited Taiwan once every 2 or
3 years and speaks fluent Min-nan dialect.
Anyway, I think he is a great statesman.
