Lee Kuan Yew is one of the very few things about Singapore that make me proud to be Singaporean...
The late MM really had great foresight.
Imagine it was being brought up 12 years ago!
Whathappened over the weekend on Afghanistan was actually not unexpected!
Any nation with a power vacuum will get a leadership base from those who act first, including Malaysia.
Lee Kuan Yew's brilliant mind with the ability to analyse issues and present them in a down to earth language make it easy to undertand and follow the reasonings.
I love and respect MM Lee Kuan Yew. I could just sit for hours and hours listening to him. He is so awesome and his brilliant mind still packs a punch
Hmmm ..We have to clone him!
Thank you for sharing! Lee Kuan Yew is a hero of mine.
Without LKY there's no Singapore 🇸🇬👍🇸🇬👍🇸🇬👍🇸🇬
amazing leader........
Great views and comments by great individual!
Amazing leader. Take him to run the UN so he can make a difference to this world.
i'm Singaporean, and I'm VERY VERY HAPPY, in fact, i am in debt to this ''bully'' for the bestowed happiness he had earned for us throughout his lifetime. And majority of the people that i know up until now have true respect for this guy. so suck it up and be thankful at the very least. peace.
His insights should be required readings for social science class in universities.
His decision to follow the Brunean king not to join malaysia is spot on. Its a political mess over there.
Oof
Very good!!!
This is a PM I really respect
he is so right !!!!
very wise man
a wise man that lead Singapore to a 1st World Nation !
remember he's my gene, I'm Mr. Lee too :)
An absolutely brilliant !
My hero!!! Proud to be Singaporean
Yes, Guan Yew ! God of No Mercy !
He's 80-ish, but his brain seems to be functioning very well. I guess he has a very healthy life mentally
Very clever man.
such deep insight about the nature of america
@bremneshatten
I am sorry I think you didn't get ur facts right.
1. Lee doesn't OWN GIC, He is merely the chairman of the sovereign fund. The profit of the company goes back to GIC which also translate to Singapore.
2. Lee doesn't make his son the PM, SM Goh was his appointment.
3. Again I will like to highlight that the money that GIC used is for investment purposes to improve the state reserve.
In a nutshell, they control the company because they have the brain to do it well
👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
I think he's 86; looks young for his age to me.
@bremneshatten
Wether if it is a pricate company doesn't matter because the purpose is to SERVE Singapore.
@lumianic Are you saying/predicting that Malaysia is/will be unified with Singapore, and that it will be happeniong soon. I didn't and will not say you are a fanatic, but your comments suggest that you are one. Singapore at 45, you are fabulous!
This is a kind of President US needs.
Yes…
I would like to see you try to get our citizenship
@xterminator069
who knows what i am...
yet this guy is not a dictator, he is an enlightened despot...
wish he can live till the next millenium. But alas, all things must come to an end - the millenium included.
I've lived there and it is great. However I only realised that after having lived in a another supposedly first world nation. Before that i hated Singapore as much as I love it now.
Not being apathetic, if not I won't be replying.
Just that I felt that GIC has justified itself with it's investment and account to Singaporean for their investment and the nation interest.
Singapore is not for heavy smokers or drinkers
He has and is still doing a great job keeping Singapore relevant. Thats why Singapore is able to attract quality immigrants to settle down. Rich & wealthy people, world over migrates to places of their desire. I wishes Malaysia can one day be where singapore is today.
Lee Kuan Yew made singapore to what it is today, but policies that work 30 years ago does not work in today's world, much have changed, PAP has not. PAP is still the best choice for Government, but if they do not change, Singapore WILL look else where, gratitude does not mean servitude.
@xterminator069
for me the word dictator does not mean something automatically bad, just means something else than democracy... but a dictator can be good, when wise... Didn't Aristotle say democracy is the gvt by the foolish masses and oligarchy by the few educated?... I know this assumption sounds kind of arrogant, but it is at least partly true if you look at it closely...
@commz59 easy .. if malaysia is unified again with singapore ... don't ever consider me a fanatic person because this will happen soon
He is a smart guy, i want him to run France instead of all those we've having
wl the populace listen 👂 ?
How did he say India at that time??
You sir , are what makes stooges like him turn back and sulk. haha
No wonder you never make it in life
@luv4cash Sorry I'm not qualified either. But neither does Rose.
As a Singaporean, I'd say that Lee Kuan Yew was an incredibly shrewd and effective leader who led the country on a fast track to wealth. But I'll say that he's not the man he once was, and has become the very type of leader he once spoke out against, and is evidence that absolute power changes a person, often not for the better. I still have a great deal of respect for him, but like any other person, he is imperfect, and these imperfections are amplified by the extent of his political influence.
@commz59 Immigrants wanna settle down in singapotre because its a Tax Haven, there is relatively no tax bracket. The rich will remain rich and use the poor (Singaporeans).
How can I say something like that? Well, I Live here, and I was born here....
Singapore electric water bill very high if reduce them better for the poor
Check out: Global Professionals on the Move 2013, which interviewed 90,000 bankers, lawyers and other professionals around the world.
Singapore is the 4th choice to live amongst western professionals, only behind US, UK and Aust.
@davyoa you should see his daughter before making that comment.
@MichaelWithstand
The man made Singapore one of the richest countries in the world - definitely richer than the one you reside in - so bugger off.
Man.
That host looks like Jorah the Andal.
RIP LKY.
@bremneshatten
What you are trying to present is that MM Lee Own GIC. Which is not a fact.
GIC is a sovereign wealth fund - Fact
He doesn't use the money for "his investment" - Fact
He use the money for investment for Singapore - Fact
GIC accounts to the public for it's investment ( Annual Report) - Fact
He is investing with GIC because he got Brain.
Why so gong-gong?
@whotookmynickkokokai u are so true my friend..i went to indonesia for holiday last month,i was a millionaire there!!haha
@wooots77
What an idiotic post! C'mon give him credit for what he has done to develop Singapore to what it is today.
Lee Kuan Yew was wrong about the flooding in China in the past year. Too many people died and it was due to bad planning.
singapore has Mr Lee...what about malaysia?
We have old crook that spoiled Malaysia...Tun
@commz59 commz59,it we the chinese immigrants want to establish a second -handed chinese country in the other land of china,we should secure ten things:
We need a large population of global chinese immigrants to build a large country,We need the help from Taiwan,We need support from millionaires from chinese immigrants,establishing effective boundary,changing malaysia into a full republic country,exiling only all the malay's sultans and his decendants from malay soil,reforming the social system
LKY is 1000000000% against ceca and inter racial relationship .
Lee is a master of illusions.... you have to be a Singaporean to understand. He sounds good.... but thats the truth... He "Sounds" good.... but he's a dictator, and he's a bully. Singapore may look rich, but the people are not happy. All the money and power is with his family and then his cronies...
@bremneshatten
LOL Yes Indeed. Please do some check up on how many first world Country is using Public Money for Investment to increase the nation reserve :D
And FYI GIC is doing a good job. They are extremely profitable which means Singapore's Reserve is Growing growing :D
@bremneshatten
The shareholders of GIC is Singapore. The profits goes back to Singapore. That's the reason it is call a Sovereign Wealth fund. It's main purpose is to mange SIngapore foreign reserve. MM Lee is merely an employee/ adviser of the company and he doesn't hold any shares of the company.
Once again you state that you "guess" that MM Lee is a shareholder, apparently this is not a fact. I hope this enlighten you :)
The Associated Press Aug 2010 reported tht Singapore regularly ranks near the top in expatriate quality of life surveys, and the govt expects the economy to grow as much as 15 % this year as trade, finance and tourism boom after the global downturn. Foreigners from developed countries are drawn to jobs in finance, shipping and at corporate regional headquarters.
Far from scaring them off, Singapore's tough law-and-order policies tend to attract many expatriate families n other visitors.
Charlie Rose is an a r s e h o l e why keeps interrupting the Master when he is giving his views.
@9f0rLive I absolutely agree with u. But this is reality. No matter how successful a country is or how good a leader is, there will be a group of people who will pick faults on others.They don't know they are living in one of the best places in the world . Maybe if they visited other countries and look at the sufferings of other people , they would not know how fortunate we are as Singaporeans. Just remember this people : THERE IS NO PERFECT PLACE ON EARTH ,SO BE CONTENT WITH WHAT U HAVE!
politics should not be used to gain business advantages. unfortunately, from what i can see, there is a blatant misdealing in this aspect in Singapore. several large pseudo-private firms in Singapore are headed by key political parties or their family members, who are clearly incompetent judging by the losses, yet able to retain their positions. also the fact that these companies are often given huge funding (as mentioned by bremneshatten) with no accountability to the public.
i doubt you ever came to singapore.
The only thing he got it wrong is about Chinese culture not embrasive. In itself there are 56 ethnic groups and we are seeing more and more foreigners embracing Chinese cultures and settling in China. That has happened even during Tang Dynasty where it flourished with many foreigners streaming in through the Silk Route.
This interview was done 11 years ago. During that time, most people perception about China was quite narrow and shallow. There was way less foreigners residing in China back then compare to today's China! And I think when he said foreigners he meant other nationalities/people from other country, not ethnicities within China.
I used to work in the airline industry but my company only started flying to China in late 80s~early 90s! At the beginning, there were only 2 flights a week to Beijing. But by the time I left the company, there were 56 flights a week to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and etc. I must say China has progressed in supersonic speed in the past 20 years! And he was right again to predict China's rise in the 2nd half of 21st century!
Singaporean is not lazy please dont take lazy as a reason
I see that both white presidents, conservative Sarkozy and socialists Hollande have been doing a pretty good job in running France over the last few years. Get a grip.
LKY is great. His son LHL tho is a loser.
no, the old guard runs an efficient system..The New leaders are still asking the old guard to be the new leaders..the reason being, the foreigners don't trust the new younger leaders to make the country prosperous and rich based on status and reward those who love the help given by foreign countries...in singapore it is non-singaporean helping the real singaporeans
wish we had him in france instead of mitterand chirac and other funny fuckers...
Singapore's societyis civilised and disciplined, France's one is decadent and lenient on everything.
We should have an efficient police which whips thugs in public on the street, death penalty for drug traffickers and muderers, kidnappers, and so on, andmaybe one day become the country we once were...
meritocracy. suck it up.
@CpHelper "Quality" immigrants brings with them wealth, investment and knowledge. They dont drain our wages, they pay us good wages. A lawyer with a PhD fm Harvard can stand up well to any challenges, he need not fear a chef fm Shanghai except of course in the kitchen. If any office worker is replaced by a waiter fm Suzhou, than the waiter must hv a better education and most importantly a much better attitube towards work.
@masta fx: Malaysia pon aper kurangnyer? KL tu kalau nak ikotkan pon lembah maksiat cuber kau tk sedar. Nak bukak aib negara lain aib negara sendiri lebih besar terbuka. Kalau negara kau tu mcm Brunei,aku tk ader hal. Tapi selagi negara kau yg penuh gejala sosial yg semakin berleluasa,tidak perlulah awak nak mengeluarkan komen provokasi kau tu.
First time LKY is wrong. Since Mayflower America has always embraced talents and creativity. That’s the breeding ground of its creativity and inventiveness. No one can foresee that they could turn their back on this policy. Not even LKY
calling him a thing ain't sound like you are proud of him.haha jk
senile! hahahaah
moron calling others moron -.-
Lee KY is great but I think Charlie Rose is very impolite and has the fucking attitude when he interviewed this highly regarded man. I don't think Rose is suitable to conduct this kind of high profile interview.
我欠他个屁！
fuck him!!i cant own a car,i cant get a house,i don have enuf ,money to survive..fuck him!!
shame on u for the bad language....
malaysia teruk sangat...
negara mundur.
you kidding? chinese as minority? as if it's not enough the chinese have been here as long as the malays singapore needs to import more of them.
maksiat di singaporkk..we dont like it
RESPECT. Whoever deny that he is a great leader is a moron.
