eljeque Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Does this mean that the fences have all been mended? A co-operation award, maybe, but a military award? NOT! Overthrow a government, receive an award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Well, Singapore can hardly be championed as a bastion of democracy can it? So, it's not that suprising. I'd say this is more of a business based award, Temasek need to try and keep certain people sweet otherwise a certain investment made by the Lee family is going to look rather risky.
