"The ideal invention would be a light polyester air-conditioned undergarment,
enclosed around the neck, wrists and ankles and battery operated. Everyone can then work
at his optimum temperature and civilization can spread across all climates." -- Lee Kuan Yew, Minister Mentor, Singapore

"The air-conditioned nation's balance of comfort and control
has a built-in obsolescence that will eventually require a retrofit." -- Cherian George

"Sometime I think our gahmen [gahmen = lazy pronunciation of "government"]
the minister is brain very smart and hand very clean, but heart dunno put where." -- Rockson Takumi Tan (blogger)
