As crowds gathered on the 46th floor of the Wan Chai skyscraper in Hong Kong to watch the live broadcast of Lee Kuan Yew's state funeral yesterday, a man took to the stage at Central Plaza, impersonating North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and hailed Singapore's founding Prime Minister as "the world's greatest dictator".
Obviously, people were horrified.

According to the South China Morning Post, hundreds of Singaporeans were among the 1,000 people who gathered at the screening, organised by the consulate-general of Singapore with the Singapore Association and the Singapore Chamber of Commerce.
All of them yelled at the impersonator to get off the stage, as security guards and the police escorted him away from the building while he held a sign saying "long live one-party rule in Singapore".
The man was identified as Howard, a Hong Kong-born Australian musician and activist who made headlines in 2013 for being the 'world's first professional Kim Jon-un impersonator'. "Lee Kwan Yew has taught me that to crush one’s political enemies you don't have to shoot them or feed them to the dogs like I do, it is more effective and respected if you can just control the courts and sue them until they are bankrupt and throw them in jail through defamation," he noted on his Facebook page.
