Singapore's CEO on homosexuality and the Dutch

Singapore's CEO and Head of the Ruling Familee said some interesting things during a meeting on Saturday:
Quote 1: "Singapore has to be as cosmopolitan as other world class cities like New York and London, for its own survival and success." Well, what about introducing freedom of speech first?
Quote 2: "On the taboo subject of homosexuality, he said Singapore needs a practical and pragmatic approach and adjust without upsetting segments of society and their sense of propriety of what is right and wrong." Hey, Mr. Lee, brave politicians go for what is right, even if it upsets "segments of society".
Quote 3: "To counter the rising sea level from melting polar ice caps, Singapore has approached the Dutch and is learning about building dykes here in the warmer climate of South East Asia." Waiting for your call. Make me an offer I can't refuse and I'll build some dykes for you.
