Like Mr. Calvin Cheng says:&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I tell you what freedom is.&lt;p&gt;Freedom is being able to walk on the streets unmolested in the wee hours in the morning, to be able to leave one&amp;#x27;s door open and not fear that one would be burgled. Freedom is the woman who can ride buses and trains alone; freedom is not having to avoid certain subway stations after night falls. Freedom is knowing our children can go to school without fear of drugs, or being mowed down by some insane person with a gun. Freedom is knowing that we are not bound by our class, our race, our religion, and we can excel for the individuals that we are - the freedom to accomplish. Freedom is living in one of the least corrupt societies in the world, knowing that our ability to get things done is not going to be limited by our ability to pay someone. Freedom is fresh air and clean streets, because nothing is more inimical to our liberty of movement than being trapped at home because of suffocating smog.&lt;p&gt;These are the freedoms that Singaporeans have, freedoms that were built on the vision and hard work of Mr Lee, our first Prime Minister. And we have all of these, these liberties, while also being one of the richest countries in the world.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;The whole article is great &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.straitstimes.com&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;singapore&amp;#x2F;more-singapore-stories&amp;#x2F;story&amp;#x2F;commentary-singapores-success-and-the-myth-trade-offs-20&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.straitstimes.com&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;singapore&amp;#x2F;more-singapore-st...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

I have no idea what this man&amp;#x27;s political views are, or how well he has been leading. But seeing this code (and little bit of personality left in comments like the grandparent post) does make me like the PM more, as a person and a leader. It&amp;#x27;s not really rational, but it&amp;#x27;s the truth.&lt;p&gt;I guess I finally understand the whole &amp;quot;I want a president I could play sports &amp;#x2F; grab a beer &amp;#x2F; whatever with&amp;quot; sentiment.</text></comment>
