MM Lee on the Opposition

We are not trying to block them. We are trying to force them to collect a group of people equal in competence...When we fail, they have a team that can take over. But unfortunately, they can't do it. Because the people with ability, drive, ambition and energy don't want to come into politics. If they wanted to, they will join us (the PAP).

- Lee Kuan Yew at the Economic Society of Singapore dialogue, 11 July 2008

That is not only justification for the continuation for the PAP regime, but also a justification for technocratic rule. Is technocracy what people like me would advocate for? No!
