You are right. He made it very clear by the spur in the back remark. I do agree that the hungry to succeed is not the DNA of the new generation but he has to take substantial blame for it by making the country compliant and subservient to him. He groomed a monster and he looking to fix it by going for another monster.

I am also not sure that things like entreprenuership is something that can easily take off in Simgapore. Nearly everything is controlled by high rent hungary GLCs. You can only get one year lease in an MRT station. You now have to give part of your sales into rental as part of the agreement.

In OZ, US, Uk etc if you fail in business, you won't lose your house and the clothes on your back. Entry cost is much lower and you have things like pink rent. We see people in these countries go thru a few failures before suceeding. In Singapore it is a big ask.

I'm not sure that would please him anymore. What he seems to be looking for now are immigrants with a bit of mongrel in them regardless of their education. That's why he let in hundreds of thousands of "Ah Tiongs" and whores.

Singaporeans from all strata of society produce "softies" in his books.
