OMG! *He is a transformative and monumental figure. I admire him greatly and I see faint similarities to the current president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele; the place were I was born in and lived up until the age of six before emigrating to the U.S. Accordingly, Bukele is now accused by the West of being a dictator because of how El Salvador got rid of the gang problem (MS-13 and others), how he deals with hypocrites in the media, how he has purged corrupt officials from government, and how his own party has swept the national, congressional, and city wide elections in 2024 with 87% of the vote. I really hope Bukele learns the lessons of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. I rally hope he follows in his footsteps, irrespective of what leaders in Washington bark about or what others in the West (to include hypocrite NGOs) complain about while never having to live the LIFE of an ordinary citizen of El Salvador. .... I wish the best to the people of Singapore. Thank you for showing the world how to build a nation. Thank you for having Lee Kuan Yew lead as an example for the rest of us outside of Singapore.* Cheers.
Wat makes LKY a good leader? 1) precise, firm decisions...never sway away from foreign adversaries.... 2) like a good conductor of an orchestra, clear, firm n precise....he even walked the ground to check n inspect the works... he treated Sg as his HOME.... 3) bcos of his great leadership, majority of Singaporeans supported him, 4)never claim success as his own, but humbly recognised tat it's everybody's efforts tat make today's Sg successful stories....he even humbly shared tat at times it was his wife insightful advices, tat helped him.... 5) at times when wrong decisions were made, he admitted on public TV....

The greatest leader of this century! I have seen him once in Yishun with a lone pilot standing in the middle of a cross section of roads. He showed that ordinary people are as worthy as anyone else. And made sure their lives are good if not great. Eyes swell in tears watching him. I was just an expat there for a while.
❤Mr Lee Kuan Yew is arguably the best the world has seen. No wonder many leaders fr 1st world countries seek his advice!! Unlike so many politicians who work selfishly, LKY was sincere , he loved his country...like a patriotic army general !!! I'm not S'porean but...he is my ❤beloved icon !!!
That's exactly what's happening nowadays - come with huge salaries , mind you . I don't mind kissing until my lips turn blue 💙!! You have my deepest respect , Mr Lee .
Too many leaders kiss babies, smile, make tough decisions and do karate chops. And deliver NOTHING. LKY's speeches are actually mediocre. He speaks ALL languages poorly. But when he tells you that Singapore's people are moving from 3 room flats to 4 room flats, when before him people lived in shanties without toilets, you listen to him with reverence.
I see some of him in Lawrance Wong, making hard decisive decisions that are necessary (raising 9% GST) and keep explaining and convicing people this is right. But I really hope, in years to come, Lawrance can really point to the figures and tell us that their hard decisions have worked and choosing them is right. Hope it doesn't dispappoint us
Всем бы такого достойного и мудрого правителя, читал его книгу и понимаю как ему было тяжело сделать то что он сделал, его грамотное управление превратили страну в экономический оазис.

Our previous prime minister in Fiji named voreqe bainimarama cannot speak Eng freely like this without reading from a piece of paper yet he is rank as the highest paid prime minster in the world. His government were so feared that people who interfere with the govt were either thrown in prison or taken to military where they were tortured. During his time as pm millions of govt money vanished without a trace, leaving our beloved nation of Fiji with 7 billion dollars in debt to this day. as we speak, he is currently serving jail now for abuse of pm office.
Lee Kuan Yew aka the most feared dictator of Southeast Asia. And look how mighty SG is today. We need more dictators like LKY, the iron fist leader. "Smart dictatorship" is what developing countries need. LKY mastered this craft. The greatest dictator who got away with alleged crimes = the legendary LEE KUAN YEW
no wonder if lee kwan yew encourage of freedom of speech in singapore singapore wouldn't be as rich as it is now and different nation people willing to live in singapore by renouncing their country citizenship

While I believe that he's a very good leader, I have doubts about whether that type of governance scales well. What I mean is - Singapore is a small country. Is it even possible for large countries to not be riddled with problems? US has so many issues. China is a basket case. Japan looks good on the surface but has so many deep rooted cultural and social issues because their homogeneity is a double edged sword. The other big nations like Indonesia and India are also rife with issues. I also live in a very small country and I love all the benefits this brings. Once you get into the hundreds of millions, it's really unmanageable.
@@ShreyDoshi2 except it’s never been accomplished though. What country with more than a few hundred million people can you name that is as well managed as Singapore?
@@pablosskates7067 the only reason why its never been managed is because of how rare benevolent dictators are and india was under British colonial rule and was "Democratic" ever scince. The material circumstances for India to become a dictatorship or for a coup to happen is not there.

I'm a huge LKY Fan if he was incharge of india he would have fixed all the major problems or atleast improved the quality of life .
That's because there's no second lee Kuan yew. Pretty sure he will fire ministers on the spot for those who don't perform well, and even more so for those are are corrupted.

Never think that they will surely win and vote for others, against who you actually want to govern. This leads to freak results from happening. Let's make no mistake, none in the current opposition side has the mettle, the competence, the integrity and accountability to govern.
