For those who uses Singapore and Lee Kuan Yew to compare to Thailand, this is what Lee Kuan Yew said:

"I have never been over concerned or obsessed with opinion polls or popularity polls. I think a leader who is, is a weak leader. Between being loved and being feared, I have always believed Machiavelli was right. If nobody is afraid of me, I’m meaningless.

Not supporting his statement on facebook.
