• Avoid meaningful debates, stage wayangs to fool voters

• Surround yourself with sycophants, cronies and overpaid army “generals” and “admirals”
• Occasionally whack some young people to teach others a lesson, to silence or intimidate them
• Hide statistics/information from the people
• Surreptitiously flood the country with foreigners without authorisation from voters
• Abdicate state responsibility for taking care of the poor and elderly
• Let males become MPs who have not served NS
• low productivity of Singapore economy
• low birth rate which started from LKY’s “Stop at 2” policy
