JULY 30 — It has been meme season in Singapore; anyone with even a remote interest in Singaporean politics would have noticed that the last few weeks have been interesting.
As the fallout from this controversy was still reverberating in Singapore’s media and online spaces, the next shockwave hit with the arrest of Transport Minister S. Iswaran. While the minister has been released on bail, the arrest of a serving minister in Singapore was quite extraordinary. Lee came to power in 2004 and has managed to create a strong legacy of his own, stepping out from the shadow of his father Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of Modern Singapore.
However, as he approaches his 20th year in power and enters his eighth decade of life, just when he should be looking to step back and bask in his impressive legacy, it’s Lee who has had to issue statements promising transparency, reflection, and correction to steady the ship. However, the PAP has long maintained that it is a party of exceptional moral and professional standards. Having established these standards, the government is expected to abide by them.
