An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
4. It is becoming apparent that there is a deliberate effort by Mr Lee’s people to stop the media from showing the frailty of the old man, especially when he’s moving about with assistance. Jeremy Grant of The Financial Times, who was at the book launch at the Istana, tweeted that there were strict rules forbidding video and photo taking when Mr Lee arrives, and these were only allowed after he was seated. During the NDP broadcast, we saw Mr Lee appearing at the entrance for a moment before the camera cut away to the spectators. When the camera moved back to him, he was already at his seat (which they have placed right by the entrance anyway). For this I’d say to Mr Lee: For goodness sake, you are turning 90 next month. Most people don’t even make it that long. There is no shame in being old and frail.
5. Having said that, former President S R Nathan is just a year younger but looks in much better health. Do keep this in mind if ever the time comes when you have to choose between which job of President or Prime Minister to take on.
