4. On Einstein's Theory of Relativity:
LKY's brother was a Director of HPL who helped him and Lee Hsien Loong buy expensive properties at 'special discounts'; his wife's brother was Permanent Secretary of Health; his two sons are Brigadier Generals -- Lee Hsien Loong is First Deputy Prime Minister; Lee Hsien Yang is CEO of Singapore Telecom; his sister was a Director of Singapore Tourist Promotion Board; Ho Ching is CEO of Singapore Technologies and future MP and Minister; and all these are only occasionally briefly mentioned in the press -- when you factor in the rest of the in-laws, cousins, uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces, it doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that 'relativity' is a major ruling principle of the Singapore universe...
On How Einstein's Theory can be applied in ST and TCS: Truth is relative. It can be stretched by Space and Time.

4. Goh Chok Tong was very happy to hear that he would be given a top-of-the-line Volvo. "Thank you, thank you," he gushed. "I know Volvos are designed to be very safe. Is it the latest model?" "Oh, yes," replied the Volvo Manager, "it's actually a prototype. We've run out of Crash Dummies."

So he told his Secretary to call the Principal of the School to line all the children up for his visit and have one of them say, "There is but one God and he passes by." So his Secretary duly called the Principal and he arranged for his brightest boy, with an IQ of 70, to say the words, which he carefully took down over the phone.
