Sorry for the OT but that's why LKY admired Deng XiaoPing. At almost 80 he could change his mind about what he had staked his life pursuing lifelong.
UMNO couldn't reform internally. To a certain extent it was inevitable but I am thankful that it was more or less bloodless. If Dr M won the election 4 years earlier I'm not even sure the coalition could last cause Anwar might not be that patient. If racial or political uncertainties erupt in Malaysia, I'm not sure Singapore can be isolated.
So Singapore had been quite blessed frankly, from SG hostile Sukarno to Suharto and SG hostile Dr M to Najib back to Dr M. To be politically incorrect, Najib had been net positive for Singapore.

Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give. –William A. Ward
