I think in Singapore, we stand a chance of making the one-man-one-vote system work. With amendments as we have done, you know, like GRCs.. We need to make it work. And I believe with pragmatic adjustments, given these favourable conditions, we can have more open debate.

If I have to shoot 200,000 students to save China from another 100 years of disorder, so be it.

For reasons of sentiment, I would like part of my ashes to be mixed up with Mama's, and both her ashes and mine put side by side in the columbarium. We were joined in life and I would like our ashes to be joined after this life.

If you can't think because you can't chew, try a banana.

I have no regrets. I have spent my life, so much of it, building up this country. There's nothing more that I need to do. At the end of the day, what have I got? A successful Singapore. What have I given up? My life.

The same law applies to me. Nobody has sued me for libel because I do not defame my enemies.

If Singapore is a nanny state, then I am proud to have fostered one.
