“Once people no longer think that you are a serious interlocutor, calculating on your own behalf, you’re written off, you’re finished.”
The Australian politicians need to think very hard about this statement.
Salam
Well, Singapore has a very smart and wise Prime Minister, we should have more PM like him in the West.
Despite domestic issues/conflicts that Singaporeans face, We must agree that Singapore has done extremely well, survived and is still booming. I may have migrated to another country, but I will always say “ Nothing Beats Singapore la!” The feeling of security when I see an SQ flight at any airport is unexplainable 😁 The fact that StarHub and SingTel outlets were OPENED on New Year’s Day literally made my jaw drop!! Life is never or seldom Greener on the other side ( as much as we want to think). I’m always a proud Singaporean and I always get goosebumps hearing the National anthem and alll the National Day songs ( We are Singapore, We are Singapore, We will stand together hear the Lion roar...)🙌🏽🙌🏽
We admire your country. I don't know how you managed to do this
Very good and very honest answers.His virtue is so quite admirable. I hope that Singapore may continually be blessed so that she can produce leaders with such virtue, intellect, and all caliber.
Why didn't ask him about his wife salary?
Calibre

If you were as capable as his wife, you could enjoy her kind of salary too. It’s your problem, not hers...
As a Singaporean,living in Wales makes me proud. Was born there in 1970 with my brother.
It is very hard that low workers are very hard to give money to our parents.
Hope that GOVT will help our parents. We ourself not enough.
Our parents support the familiar all the. money and no money.
Singapore has good leaders. This is its biggest asset.
Yes same with Switzerland it's the 3rd least corrupt in the world.
God bless Singapore. ❤🇸🇬
Correction : God bless Singaporeans living in the most expensive city in the world for the past 6 years.

Well said
We love Singapore DEARLY
S'pore is very important. We have to obey the commands so that we can live.
Great man.
Much impresed by his words great
Pm
A great analyst of world politics and practitioner of authoritarian rule.
Sir always speaking philosophical clearly politics point. In characters of statements. That reminds of yours parents. 🍀
The best! Majulah Singapura! 🇸🇬
Foreigners HW ? Hahah
6:51 the smaller you are the better you understanded. Nicely put.
Wow 👌 nice interview
Singapore's mercurial transformation is due to the vision of the late Mr.Lee Kuan Yew. His legacy should be preserved & his home turned into a National Heritage site.
I love singapore.
Of course, which freeloader dont love Singapore
Singapore has been blessed since 1965 to have the Lee family leaders.
Cursed not blessed
To be objective, we can't choose where we are born but Singapore is up there in the sense that there are many things working in favour of citizens, MSF takes care of citizens who require financial assistance and housing, there are measures in place to subsidise low income households (CHAS card etc), there are lots of charities that step in to take care of the underprivileged and easy access to crowdfunding platforms. It may not be an ideal place for some but there is the option to move countries because we are mostly in a good position to do so. Singapore is indeed blessed, people who have lived overseas tend to appreciate what Singapore has. No country is perfect, I would like to see Singaporeans take an active role in improving their community instead of leaving it to others and then complaining about it.
Thank u for serving our country Lee hsein Leong
@Martin Lee how? I think we don't appreciate him enough..see how he got eye bags and white hair he is our pm after all I don't like ppl that complain just cos they can..
@Martin Lee you're such a sore and sour guy going around making the effort to give bad comments about Singapore and its leaders. A lot of effort to do so, seems like your day job. How much are they paying you?
@Martin Lee you are an anti government person who makes such a rubbish comment. Go and work, don’t be lazy. You can’t get what you want by giving comments against the government and PAP leaders.
Upgrade people .. high quality people.. it is as though he sees people as commodities. Everything is economically rationalised.. however, there needs to be a social outlet if you will... a release from the rigors of economic demands and aspirations of the elite.
There are no other natural resources, except for human resources and a strategic geography, imperative to upgrade people, social outlet is on second thoughts but it is being look at now
I am a Singaporean, and a "product" of this system. I appreciate the long-range thinking of our leaders, and the strength to make unpopular decisions that are good for our future. And time and again, it has been proven right.
I do not take our prosperity for granted.
As a Commodity, as you have mentioned, myself, I am not economic robot. Far from it. I have left a cushy job and become a freelance photographer pursuing my passion, for the past 10 years now. I do not feel pressured to live a particular way too. In fact, it is the stable political and economic climate of our nation that allows us more freedom than many other developed countries to pursue what our hearts desire.
If you talk about aspirations of the Elite, it is a broad term. There are elites who only care about their own right, and in the case of politicians, popularity. And then there are elites who have genuine care for people under their charge, with evidence to show.
@@gorillaofjohn15 Good to hear you have done well out of the system. "Elites who have genuine care for the people under their charge with evidence to show" .. My god you are serious aren't you.. the British have taught you well.. what absolute patronising BS....A total oxymoron ..lol the elite caring.. for the people "under their charge'. You need not say anymore.
@@stephenmonash821 indeed those who are in the position to lead are responsible for those under their charge, their care. "Elites" was to phrase what you originally did, and I am not afraid to use it back to you. Some may be sensitive about some terms for political correctness. But not needed here for the facts more than back up the argument. It is deliberate inclusion i am sure it is within you capacity to catch that.
Instead of trying to be smart trying to pick cracks to pry, try to educate yourself by learning more. And make judgements based on real knowledge and experience. Best, spend real time in where you choose to judge. Singapore, China, it can be anywhere.
But again, heck you can even win the argument should you choose! if it makes you feel clever.
@@gorillaofjohn15 ... As I say ... you said all you need to say... and all anyone needs to know about who you are.. and what you represent..this you can never hide.. your vacuous comments precede you.
INDONESIA MUCH BE IMPROVEMENT ALL FIELD, SPECIALLY INDUSTRY GO HEAD INDONESIA, SIDE BY SIDE BY SINGAPORE
Very smart man.
Muser187 Based on his qualifications, you ignoramus! Tripos from Cambridge University, Master of Public Administration from Harvard; speaks & writes Russian, Mandarin, Malay lingos beside his impeccable English, and is referred to by the international diplomatic community as “Mr.Google”, a sobriquet deservedly earned as he is able to expatiate on virtually any subject & topic under the sun, reeling out effortlessly facts & figures for corroboration! What about you? What do you know... only scatological language like some bovine beast that you seem to be, based on your asinine utterance?
Yes Able to keep his wife salary a secret for so long.
Muser187 based on how far he’s brought Singapore, the wealth gap in Singapore is the lowest its ever been since we have been independent
Ho Pw, why should any body’s salary, wife or otherwise, be privy to others?
@@Muser187 Well said! Astute observation! You're so perceptive! You're the real hidden intelligence to lead Singapore out of this morass created by him and his fellating lackeys! Quick, stand for election and kick this pretender of a leader out of government now! I'll vote for you! You go Bro, Sis, whatever...!!
It's a given China is and soon India will become world centers of commerce and innovation. It's a question of numbers, simple math. Once they get everyone off the farm, they have more minds. Some of those minds will provide innovation. They'll have more patents and Nobel Prizes; and the world will be better for it. And once everyone is educated in those countries, maybe the birth rates and their populations will decline. It looks like Russia might be changing its stripes. If they become anything like a true democracy, it will be much easier to purchase Russian products and services. Wish China would also move in that direction.
Actually, the strategy of China is by purposely allowing part of the country (Shanghai, and Shenzhen) to be rich by focusing most budget of the nation, then spread wealth around those to make everyone off poverty.
That alone is sth you can't do in India or any Western countries.
Yes, India best country with the brightest people in the world.😄
I learning English 😄😘😘😘
75% of Singapore population belong to the Han Chinese, speaker of Sino-Tibetan language families. Myanmar proud of Singapore achievement.

Singapore 🇸🇬 is nice country
Where is that rude guy stephen sackur?
He was Sack-ed
USA in general is not a benign country, far from it, maybe relatively peaceful in S. S. Asia. USA had initiated more wars in its entire history and interfered extra territorially. It is behaving more and more in its self interests.
Sir no stress 🤣🤣🤣🤣😘
he is quite right: singapore first!
Singapore first? Naive
@@deschan2246 but true. all statesmen put their country first. bust most don't admit.

Tun of Msia is not even anywhere near this great leader in terms of perception of global affairs and political will especially for the multiracial Msians
Great leader? Just like NKorea Fat Kim? I AGREED

The PM is torn between two lovers and is hard to choose from, poor Lee
Hock Lay Chan You probably a Singaporean and that says it all
Les chinois sont mal à l'aise.
Une Wuhan a eu de la fièvre et de la toux et a bu des médicaments en France, mais la Chine et la France ont subi des contrôles d'immigration lents et n'ont pas pu mesurer seules la température corporelle. Elle est entrée avec succès à Paris.
This man is a criminal.
@@user-fv8my1hu8r I know one: MURDER too.
@@user-fv8my1hu8r Not sure. Probably but one Indonesian and one American. They tried to kill me too and then defamed me mentally ill (crazy) to cover it up. The top leader someone there LOVED WOMANIZING even with teenagers and HATED THE CHRISTIAN GOD very much. Practiced witchcraft too sending of evil spirit.

Local Singaporeans hv lost their right in Singapore
Look around you, buddy. You may find that you’re one of the very few who can’t seem to figure out your own life.
@@weilianlow
🙂 save yr comment for yrself!
Des Chan well well. Allow me to give a meta-reply to your comment. You can ask me to keep it to myself. No problem there as you are entitled to do so. And then I’ll say but this is a public platform and you chose to comment publicly so I am also well within my rights to reply to your comments. So really what’s the point of saying that? It only highlights the lack of a proper retort from you. And do you know what I think? People like you always talking smack about your own country (non-constructively) seem to have the smallest of minorities yet have a disproportionately loud presence online. Do you realise that the far greater majority of us are just living our lives contently and focusing our energy working towards a better future instead of whining incessantly on social media platforms? Food for thought.
@@weilianlow 🙂 clueless!
Puppet show
Don't criticize him coz he'll sue you
He is not worth our time
Sadly he didn’t know he is clown!
you are saying yourself as a clown
It is a totalitarian state.. .. what is good about that.. Distribution of wealth is woeful. I have visited Singapore.. there is a huge class distinction... Just travel on the train and get off at various stations .. it will not take long to establish the social stratification. People's votes do not count.. they just show the fixed government where dissent lies. Singapore people apart from the one percent looked downright miserable. It is highly regulated and you can see the discontent etched on the vast majorities faces. It is in essence a police state. Socially it is just sterile.. where fun is artificially manufactured... it is not real .. there is no sense of normal social interaction unfettered by the government.
How Long have you visited Singapore ? 10 years ? Your comments had display tremendous ignorance and inaccuracies.
Sounds like you’ve never been there.
@@russiasucks7170 ..... Singapore is a police state.. and the people live in fear... It is a terrible way to live.. with big brother always watching over you.
Singapore has consistently been rated as the least-corrupt country in Asia and amongst the top ten cleanest in the world by Transparency International.[4][5] The World Bank's governance indicators have also rated Singapore highly on rule of law, control of corruption and government effectiveness. However, it is widely perceived that some aspects of the political process, civil liberties, and political and human rights are lacking.[6] The Economist Intelligence Unit rated Singapore a "flawed democracy" in 2018.[7][needs update] Freedom House deemed the press "not free" in 2015.[8]
Although Singapore's laws are inherited from British and British Indian laws, including many elements of English common law, the PAP has also consistently rejected liberal democratic values, which it typifies as Western and states that there should not be a 'one-size-fits-all' solution to a democracy. Laws restricting the freedom of speech exist to prohibit speech that may breed ill will or cause disharmony within Singapore's multiracial, multi-religious society. For example, in September 2005, three bloggers were convicted of sedition for posting racist remarks targeting minorities.[25]
Some offences can lead to heavy fines or caning and there are laws which allow capital punishment in Singapore for first-degree murder and drug trafficking.
