The One and Only (Oct25)



There might be numerous Li Kuan Yews in Singapore. More still Le Kuan Yews and Kuan Ewes and Kwon Yews. No restrictions on any combination of these, of any number and any form. All perfectly legitimate and above-board. No caning, fining or admonishing involved; not a worry. What one must, however, most certainly avoid is any attempt at naming a fond, dearly loved new-born, Lee Kuan Yew. Certainly on this territory of the Republic of Singapore—Lee Kwan Yew-land. 

         There cannot be formally registered such a child's name, male, female or indeterminate gender. 

         Under no circumstances. 

         If in the privacy of your HDB flat, you may wish to pamper your child thus, with the hero's emblem, without being picked up by the microphones or CCTVs, that is entirely your own affair. 

         Try formalizing it by documentation, at the designated authority, well then, watch out for your neck Buster! Don’t say you were not warned.

         There cannot be tolerated another LKY on the little red dot spot on the equator. 

         Seems there is no formal law instituted. That was not required in a place like this. 

         Omar told of the matter—received from impeccable sources, a former public officer with the title of Registrar….— this morning at one of the usual Mr. T. T. tables. During in fact this long rundown to the imminent event that will be felt with sorrow in some quarters.
