Is it only his doings or.... the combined efforts of
people like Goh Keng Swee, Lim Kim San...even
Devan Nair ..and the red hat Sam-Swee-women ?

Lee junior is a bookworm scholars...lacking in vision, lacking in
dynamism and lacking in talent. He turn out to be little more than
an aging junior executive. May be a good mandarin of old China,
but definitely not a charismatic leader.
He is certainly not a chip of the old block.

Since Goh Keng Swee left the scene, GIC and Temasek's track
records are all in red ink...remember Thaksin, Telecom in Indonesia
