Singapore was lucky to have Mr.Lee to guide them during initial years. Today's countries are missing Politicians like Mr.Lee. Farsighted, fair, honest, he was one of a kind.
@@earlysda Oh I believe even Jesus would have accepted him, for he never tried to force his belief onto people, he even made an example of a samaritan (a heretic) as a good moral action to be followed. I think most Christians and Muslims misinterpreted the message, it's not about spreading the practice of worship, it's about moral guidance and principles that need to be followed.
@The Alliance of Fledgling Naval Marauders which means that there is nothing wrong for someone who isn't from any abrahamic religions like lky to say these are dangerous ideology right?
@The Alliance of Fledgling Naval Marauders oh I see now that you are only advocating for your religion to have that right... You don't seems to mind if those forcing of values comes from your side though.
My ancestors left India 3 generations ago. The one thing we never forget is our Hinduness! We forgot the Indic languages, and many other things to my chagrin. But, never gave up our Gods! They go wherever we go from country to country! 🕉
Namaste. Amazing really! Do not buy into abrahamic mind controlling establishments. I am glad you and your ancestors never did that. In reality there is only One God, manifested as different devas and devis who are from the Same essence and different manifestation of the same Divine. This is neither dry and cruel monotheism like in Abrahamic religions, neither paganism or polytheism as they accuse Hinduism which is utterly false and outright deceptive. In Hinduism God is Father God and Mother God/ess (Shiv-Shakti, Brahma-Saraswati, Vishnu-Lakshni). God manifests in many ways. Monotheism or the ultimate Reality in Hinduism is definitely expressed multifold ways. You have forgotten your ancestral language. That is certainly not a problem. I am not even indian at all and I can understand and speak some Hindi already. It is not that difficult if you put enough effort. I would like to learn some Sanskrit and Tamil (I find Tamil intriguing because it is a classical and very old language of Southern Bharat) also in the future, perhaps any other indic languages. If there is a will, Prabhu (The Lord) makes the way easy for the devotee.
What he said at @7:35 is a gem. Sensible, Sensitive but Firm government will ride this patch. Soft government trying to accommodate everybody will lead to a big mistake. Indian leaders, specially on the Center right & left, should listen this. He did not compromise with secularism, rather he became a stronger proponent of Secularism by treating everyone equally.
India holds no moral ground on anything. A Hindu belief system that exercises traditions like the caste system, dowry system, cultural indifference with north vs south .... the nation's solution is not staunch hinduism.
@@theone3136 Speaking exactly like the missionaries described by LKY in the video. Thanks for re-affirming my point. Unfortunately caste system is there, but constitutional solution is also there. It has yielded results and we are moving in right direction not reached yet, but in right direction. Also caste/race discrimination is a global phenomenon across all cultures, Hindus are no different there.
People that have not encounter the real presence of God...will say that the bible is a supersition book..those who are born again in the spirit will know that our believe and faith will not go vain. One day all believers will leave this earth. How can we say the boble is a supersition....where it predicted so mahy things up to this day when there are war in Israel. The bi le has warn this will happen. This is phrophecies and not supersition at all.
@@Jloshan i've encountered the presence of god when I visited the children's cancer ward in hospital. I thought to myself: how can any powerful omnipotent all-knowing being programmed such a horrifying disease to affect such innocent children?? I realized being a human is like a lab rab thrown into experiments after experiments to the amusement and entertainment of a sick twisted observer.
When I was growing up in Singapore you rarely saw Malay women wearing anything other than sarong kabiyya but then they started wearing scarves but now they are wearing hijabs. This is because of raising Islamist in Malaysia and Indonesia. Then suddenly the Church's were being funded from America and they were more and more fundamentalist and they were out on the streets with loud hailers and banners and were very aggressively shouting about hell and the end of the world. As LKY says here all this is silliness.
Don't equate Indonesia with the likes of Malaysia, Saudi Arabia or any other country with their Islamic laws. Indonesia has never been an Islamic country, and we Indonesians don't turn into that one. Our stateman confirmed that atheism have rights to live here in Indonesia.
This is very very important. I will take note of this for years to come. I was not aware that the hijab was only a recent thing with regards to Asia and the rest of the islamic world outside of the middle east. A very great tragedy that women had to be constrained only so recently where before for centuries even under colonialist rule their movements were only constrained based on racism rather than by their own religion
Glad that you are living in Canada. When you begin to see that you cannot practice your own religion and you have to convert them you will start disliking certain faiths.
I am born in a Hindu family but had no specific interest in religions. I started my schooling in a convent, but after a while, I was put in a government school. Every day, after the National anthem was played I used to draw a cross on me. My friend a church-going Christian asked me which Church I go to. I told him I don't go to Church. He asked me why I draw a cross after the assembly. My reply was that I may be a Christian and I needed to check with my mother who was a Professor as she would probably know. It turned out that in the Convent I started drawing the cross after assembly, I used to draw the cross and my mother has seen me draw the cross even in temples. "Why didn't you tell me"? I asked. "Young children's minds should not be poisoned by these differences." From that day I had more respect for Hinduism.
It's not poisoning it's just truth. The differences are important. God is literally our Heavenly Father, that's something eastern religions don't believe. Have you read Bible+BoM?
@@phoenixj1299 coming to mine they educated me and gave me knowledge. knowledge to search the truth .....I was also the person who was against religion but as I studied the Abrahamic religion it has a significant truth regards to history with a mystery....the person who started this thread is a lier..... because all the Christian school I mean all will give u knowledge but finding the truth is your mission.
Its not just something that they poison u... U know in hindu culture we have the habit of touching the feet of elders to take the blessings they keep their hands and say live long... Why do they keep their hands on us its not something that they bless our life to be ruined like theirs. Even keeping cross they say god bless you. They dont even say jesus bless you. It depends on us how we take up others jestures..... U say that u respecred hinduism more from that time but dont u realize child marriages, wife being burnt alive if husband dies, untouchability.... Are these all do u think your God likes.... If yes imagine the way ur god hardcore to the heart a merciless cruel mind
The heading 'Warns on dangers of' is flawed because he emphasised, 'Live and let live' showing that he is open to religious differences. The title of this video should read ' Mr LKY warns about mixing politics with religion'.
lemme ask you, bitch. which side insists that it mix with the other, hmm? isn't it your fucking christians who want to take control of governance? so count yourself that this secular government keeps you alive, even when it knows how much of a threat you are if given state power
What a greatest Buddhist leader and politician Lee Kuan Yew was! The world needs more charismatic Buddhist leaders and politicians like him. Under his leadership, Singapore became Singapore today.
@@yiming99 It's fascinating how fanatics see only what they WANT to see in any situation. While LKY's whole point was about being secular and tolerant of all religions, here is an id!ot (I mean the OP) who thinks it was due to his Buddhist background, which LKY himself admitted was only nominal. 😂

I'm from the UK this man is spot on with this ,live and let live,keep your own religious beliefs under the rule of a firm fair and seperate governance that gives no favour to any.Anyone who wants otherwise wants to enforce their beliefs on you.Those type of religious people just want their own religious dictatorship and are totally unfit for public office
Every day you enact your worldview on other people by interacting with them. The only way to “live and let live” is to live on an island alone, then you truly can do whatever you want. Otherwise you have to have boundaries and rules of conduct if there was another person. Because both people can’t do what they want without infringing upon the other. The idea of a Christian proselytizing is similar to a mother who cares deeply for her son. If you love someone you will be angry when they do something stupid to hurt themselves, such as abusing opiates, etc. This is the same with Christianity. The Christian sees people living selfishly, and by that hurting others, themselves, and most importantly God who desires the best at all times for all people. And to live selfishly is stupid, and unreal. Because the Law of God is simply a description of reality. Yea verily if you jump off the roof a building you will become paste.
@@matthewallen3811 " The idea of a Christian proselytizing is similar to a mother who cares deeply for her son." I disagree with that. Its the standard operadi of old British and Jesuits forces when they took over a city or country, they sent in the missionaries. The end result is the destruction of all cultures and traditions. Chinese traditions like visiting ancestors grave are frown upon, having a picture of idols is demon worship. Who the hell died and made Christian god? Christianity is at best a religion made in middle ages. 1000 years ago, you barely had handwriting and even calendar, let alone write the bible. U r a new kid on the block, just like Judaism and Islam.
A remarkable man. Able to communicate nuances so clearly in a way we just don't get to see today. And the unselfconscious honesty / transparency is completely refreshing.
@Rohit, There are other men worthy of admiration, yet you have chosen to admire a man who, although intelligent, did not solely build the nation of Singapore. There were numerous talented and intelligent individuals who contributed to Singapore's economic success. While LKY possessed oratory skills, it was the collective efforts of others that allowed him to shine on the stage as a lawyer and politician. Propaganda strategically positioned him after he gradually removed the pioneers from power. His scheming and authoritarian rule are not something to take pride in. Don't live with your eyes closed.
Great philosopher, great thinker. leader with foresight, also a brilliant speaker, most Singaporeans misses him, when the subject of this man is being brought up.
Hahaha...Wait until he mention about Hindu too then you going mad...🤣...when it come to conflict all religion is same...See what Buddhist in Myanmar do...And.what hindutva in India do...he just not live long enough to witness it...he just know about Crusaders between Islam and Christianity
I sense you've missed the point. The late LKY was pro religious diversity 'live and let live' but don't go trying to convert others. Live in a mulitcultural and multi racial society that has a national identity and makes provision for all through equality of opportunity. Have respect and compassion for the other, for 'there go I but for the grace of God'.
@@sopzakdansm4196 I don't think he's pro-religious diversity, he's not anti-religion or at best indifferent. If it provides sucker comfort to one, then let it be.
Angela Merkel is responsible for the apocalyptic state in the world today! 16 years of Naivität and blindness regarding Putin, although she speaks Russian, she was totally fooled by Putin..during 16 years of her bad governing. Thank goodness she's in pension. Germany would take at least 20 years to clean the mountain of RUBBISH that Merkel left behind.🤔
LKY would laugh at you for that. He better than anyone understood that every nation is different, with its own specific dynamics and needs. Germany is the dominant and richest nation in Western Europe-- they can afford to be tolerant and a beacon for liberalism.
The world is woefully lacking men like him today. Man with the intelligence you see clearly and the courage to speak freely. These are the men who build nations and move the world forward.
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my Exactly the problem with the western mindset so entitled. And please don’t quote Buddhist culture if you don’t understand. It’s the strong responsibility to take care of the weak and ensure the weak become as strong if not stronger than them that’s how the human race improve and evolve. It’s the duty of the weak to give reverence and authority to the strong to ensure they continue in their responsibility to protect the weak.
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my That‘s why there is space exploration to get more resources, it’s also the reason why China is one of the few uninterrupted civilisation. It‘s also the reason why homosapiens are able to win the compeition against other species. That’s because the strong have to care for the weak and to get the weak to become stronger thus improving the rest of the human race. Of course in extreme circumstances definitely is to give more resources to the strong, but in general circumstances it‘s the strong that have the responsibility to take care of the weak. Of course I am not talking about sharing resources equally here.
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my FYI, genetics determines your starting point and how far you might go. The important word here is might and genetics does change with time although it‘s much harder and if you talking about genetics what determines strong and weak is the context of the situation. Tutoring the weak improves the info and intellect of the whole human race. It prevents the human race from extrinction because of certain unforseen events. Tutoring also ensures the strong continue to work harder and not rest on their laurels. Without support for the weak, the strong will rest on their laurels and cause overall degneration and degradtion. Very seldom you have the strong maintain in a position of strength throughout the entireity of their lives same with the weak. Your idea would destroy the entire human race, because the strong when hit with illness without supporting the weak, there is no replacement.
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my You are outdated already based on these past 3-5 years China whether it is patent application or journal usage and discoveries already exceeded US. China already exceeded Japan as the largest car exporter this year. Tha‘s why I say the strong don’t stay strong throughout their entireity. You are still too young as a civilisation to understand the depths and marvel of the interaction between humans, nature and the universe.
A really great Head of Government. Mr Yew is to be appreciated for his grit and wisdom. I'm from India and I salute him. I surely wish he was around to advise so many today.
Thank you for sharing this video. Time has journeyed forward but watching and hearing your wise views will live on in our hearts Mentor Lee Kuan Yew! You maybe not be here but we see your son the current Prime Minister of Singapore and People's Action Party in Singapore as carrying your dreams, goals and aspirations into the future! You will always be an inspiration to me and others in our country! Former Secretary General of People's Action Party in Papua New Guinea!

For many people who ask what religion is Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, he has just mentioned it in this video. He is a Buddhist (around 4:09) who strongly support secularism, and takes a very practical approach on all religions.
Actually that was and is Buddhismus. And you cannot actually consider it religion, but a specific, rather spiritual view. Compare with Abrahamic religions (pro and contra list). Lee Kaun Yew is the future. If there will be future.

it's hard not to like this man's perspective. A true sage he was indeed, wise and not arrogant. Western leaders should have gotten some training from him. A politician to be admired, and there are not that many.
Late Stateman Lee Kuan Yew was such an experienced & wise Leader indeed to ban religion & ethnicity based political parties in Singapore but to adopt Meritocracy to be the foundation of democracy in Singapore thus avoided the many conflicts from exploitation of religious or racial issues by selfish political groups like in many other countries that still in conflicts or wars up until today ... We missed the wise council of late stateman Lee Kuan Yew so much in this turbulent world of post covid-19 global pandemic ... 🙏🕯🌎🕊🇸🇬

He was one of the great geniuses of the 20th century, one of the great statesmen of any era. I didn't always like everything he did, but his brilliance is indisputable.
This guy makes sense. There is a reason why we separate church and state. When one religion claims to have the only path to enlightenment, heaven, valhalla, etc. and that it is the only universal truth, it becomes a danger to others. This is why I left organized religion long ago. It's a crutch. Not the truth.
There is a rational explanation for this These are Master/Slave religions - born when Kings ruled with an iron fist Ancient people living under these Kings/Dictators used them as a template for God Hence a King like God sitting on his throne in the Heavens Heaven is his Kingdom To please him one must get down on one's knees, beg, grovel, sing his praises, swear eternal loyalty & obedience And of course no King/Dictator would tolerate allegiance to another and so the hate and threats against all others Think of living in Russia under Putin or North Korea today! That was the life back than and the ancients came up with such Gods! What is frightening is to see today's best and brightest blindly following these primitive ideas of God
Singapore is built on the foundation of respect and tolerance of languages, race and religions of all classes of race. This the the key to our peace and success as a multi-racial society.

As a person that grew up roman catholic, it was only in adulthood that I realized and understood that religion should not separate me from the rest of my fellow humans. I try my best to discern by character and motives more than any of my preconceived notions. Take care out there, the world is crazy. ❤
I understand what you say. I went to Mecca 2 times myself, only after adulthood it becomes clearer that I can control & guide only myself. Ppl have various understandings on one particular sentence or strings of sentences; it is so easy to become fanatic and in THAT PROCESS, you'd ignore rationalism and hurt people left and right. I am quite pity for those who try as hard as 25-ish to get married (and so many other things which I cannot pin pointing it here). But I must tell you - to embrace oneself; we have to educate and there is nobody better to educate ourself but our own self. Don't expect everyone will able to allow themself to change coz it is only in our fantasy world it would happen. Simple and clear desicion for me
honestly - christianity overall would not have the bad reputation it has today had the christians of the past (and the present) not acted like a morality police. religious principles should be applied to ourselves first, and then our good actions should be enough to make the world understand that god is good. but what do many people do....the opposite!
Yes, dogma can not contain God and humans can be good or evil independently of dogma. Nikos Zakantzakis’ Zorba the Greek, “I have done things for my country that would make your hair stand.

Christianity spread as the Spaniards landed on the shore brandishing swords and the holy cross in each hand shouting "In the name of Jesus we proclaim this land to be ours!" and soon began killing the unsuspecting natives who had gathered to see them arrive in curiousity. This happened in Africa, the Americas but not in India, China and other SE Asian nations, where the civilisations predate the Christian theological records.

"Dangers of religions " This only came about after the WW2 and the new world order agenda being imposed on the masses of the nations globally. Read pre-world War history. People fared well in religiosity. Moral decadence was at the lowest. Society illness at the lowest. And a lot of other things. Read about welfare of society during that time. Exception is where corruption took evil root in the great churches leading to birth of secularism . From here, they wanted to spread their secular ideology to other nations. To make them carbon copy of themselves. And thise who don't oblige or bend to their ideology, face great challenges, particularly economic boycot even sanctions of inter-trade. Look about around yourselves and within yourselves; what identity do you have? You are what they intended you to become: carbon copy of themselves, embracing their ways of lives, beliefs and everything. Your ancestirs would not even recognise you as their progeny if they could come out of their graves today!! This is the fact. And only those who abandoned their roots will say religiosity is dangerous. Our ancestors lived with different religiosity in harmony all these years, it was never a problem until that idea was planted into our heads. During LKY times, the local Muslims got sucked the idea of secularists and almost became like them. Almost. Until, by God's grace, the realisation dawned upon them and they repented and mend their ways. Christians or Muslims, are only mending their ways to return to the path of the one true God for the benefit of life here and hereafter. And that is totally praiseworthy ❤.
@TRUTH EXPRESS lmao, you never went out of your house. Where are you from India or Africa. American girls are the most promiscuous women on planet. They'll have slept with like 15 men before marrying you. You know jack shit.
Beliefs r personal choices, and not the problem. It only become a problem when believers come together and form an organisation known as religion. Historically, religions have many times manipulated beliefs to enforce their agenda, to the extent of sometimes going the opposite of their beliefs, creating not bliss but instead suffering for many. Ultimately, men determine the goodness of beliefs.
I think believers always go in groups , so they can acknowledge each others beliefs and finally it forms a religion ;where they try to make everyone like them by using any/every method. this is my current take on it.
What he said are still applicable to this day as we see more of such things happening right now on large. true leader who had facts right n solutions right ❤
Thanks for the video. It's scary how LKY nailed it when these comments were made decades ago. Religion is a sensitive issue and in this PC climate today his words would have been a no go.. looking at the comment thread here definitely scared me a little... "live and let live" is the most important thing, and on a larger scale the separation of religion and governance. Everyone can believe that their religion is the absolute truth but the problem comes when someone impose their religious beliefs to others or even persecutes others because something is wrong in their eyes. We see in many countries when religion gets mixed into politics it gets really ugly and the minorities who believe in another religion suffers... hopefully Singaporeans and Singapore can be sensible and can balance their religious beliefs with tolerance for others because no religion has the absolute claim to all the truth of the world... Peace
Yes it is happening in Malaysia the change law to convert little children to Islam without mother's consent and the civil court allowed that in Loh Siew 3 Children converted by a bigot mufti Asri of Perlis because the Islamic extremist in perlis passed law of unilateral conversion of underage children against the federal constitution.
Strangely, the most persecuted groups in the world, are the true Christians. (there is a nominal group who are Christian in name only). It will continue to be persecuted and hounded, accused and matyred till the end of age. China is an example, but today, Christians exist in the millions. Today the news in Manipur, India is very sad. Many tribal groups who are mainly Christians had their churches and homes looted and burnt, with silent consent from the government. Is it in the news? No. And it's not for political but for religious reasons. The Myanmar tribal Christian groups are also suffering the same fate from the Junta. See the thousands of Myanmar refugees spilling into neighbouring countries - Malaysia, for example. If you have worked among the refugees, you can hear their sad tales. Malaysia is under constant threat of losing peace and harmony because of politicians using race and religion to get power. We too long for the tolerant, peaceful years of long ago that LKY speak about, where our friends were from all races and religions. We formed many happy relationships

Singapore was truly blessed to have a visionary like Lee Kuan Yew. I have reached a similar mindset like this after learning how Abrahamic religions operate. I truly hope my country leaders in India follow your advise ie. "sensible, sensitive but firm government will ride the clash of religions while soft government trying to accommodate everybody will lead to a big mistake". PS- Indian leaders never really stood firm on our hope i can only pray that they atleast follow this visionary.
It is fortunate for Singapore to have had this sensible wise man who made it possible for Singapore to develop Into what it is today, Unlike his Malaysian counterpart who is still toying with racial and religious segregation at this age.
It goes to show that Malaysians politicians are self serving and corrupt that in order to remain in power, they play the race and religion card. It is evident that Malaysia is shooting itself in the foot with the outdated Bumiputra policy.
In my view Lee Kuan Yew is one of the greatest political leaders in the modern world. He kept a multi religious society secular, transformed it from a third world to a first world society. And all this in just a single generation
As someone who was born, raised, and "educated" (brainwashed) in "Judeo-Christian" America, it gives me great hope to see that there is at least one successful, first-world country that is not majority Abrahamic religions.

Well put, Mr. Prime Minister. The world will be secular . Religion has failed to inform legislation in any way, shape, or form. The rule of law must prevail. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
@yagi3925 The rule of law in secular i e a nation of laws, not a theocracy. Morals came long before any religion, and as the world is moving to change to humanism - away from religious ideas and dogma. Secularism. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺
@@redmatters9318 I don't give a damn about you "secularist" blabla. The universe IS a theocracy because it was created by God. God is its master and Lord, has always been and will always be. Whether you and some others like it or not does not matter, it's pointless.
A study of secularism will quickly show that secularism is basically Western Christianity with the word "god" crossed out. Read "Dominion" by Tom Holland to understand what this means.
@@redmatters9318 Well as an agnostic myself I can tell you your prediction is doomed to failure. Studies have shown that atheists can't bother themselves to have relationships, let alone babies. They have also shown that religion is in the genes. All atheism has done has separated the atheists from the religious and then made the atheists go extinct. We're seeing this all over the secular world - Japan and China particularly badly affected. Seems that atheism is the best thing that ever happened to religion. The future of humanity is a religious one, and probably quite a fundamentalist religious future at that.
We are so lucky to have had this thoughtful man guiding the initial development of Singapore. Live & let live please, respect each path to the divine. 🙏
i am a christian and i aprove mr LKY message. The push to govern from both islam and christianity are a bit going into silly. belief suppose to make us a better person and not to push others to be like us or subjected to the same rules. It also saddened me that the key to have world peace is less focus on religion it self and more focus on tollerating people space and leaving them to their own things. I think both religion and tolerance isnt the goal for everlasting peace... what are peace without God? what are God if we only have strife ?
Look at LGBTQ+ & Pornography today. The degradation of human morality. Learn Islam. Muslim is just a human being that make mistake. However learn from muslim scholar.
Muslims aren't real Muslims if they don't follow Muhammad PBUH Muhammad PBUH make Islam as rule of the lands he conquered so if you don't agree tu put religion as a rule of country, it means you don't agree with Islam as a whole
*Christianity is NOT governed by a “sharia” . Jesus clearly said things like “My Kingdom is NOT if this world.” And “Give to Caesar (gov) what belongs to Caesar and to GOD what belongs to GOD.* You cannot blame a faith based on idiocy of people. You go by what the book says...
Christianity isn't a religion. It's a way of life. It appears that the Christians LKY came into contact with did not help him to know the essence of Christianity, its message, its demands and most important of all what Christ came to offer humans. I wonder if LKY ever had the chance to read the Bible and imbibe its message- the redemption only Jesus offers. Had he truly known and experienced these, he would have come to a different conclusion. Jesus remains the ultimate solution to the world's problems!!
A firm leader with clear thought and NO FEAR to express it is a rare thing in politics. People may criticize the fact that he made Singapore an almost one party state but if he didn't, his country would never have reached the heights it did. He had the choice between appeasement and development...he chose he latter and rightly so!
He was, and still is, so ahead of his time. As a Malaysian I hope the religious and racial conflicts here will not turn into chaos one day. One cannot say I'm all encompassing but force others to believe in their belief.

My ancestors left India 3 generations ago. The one thing we never forget is our Hinduness! We forgot the Indic languages, and many other things to my chagrin. But, never gave up our Gods! They go wherever we go from country to country! 🕉
Namaste.
Amazing really! Do not buy into abrahamic mind controlling establishments. I am glad you and your ancestors never did that.
In reality there is only One God, manifested as different devas and devis who are from the Same essence and different manifestation of the same Divine. This is neither dry and cruel monotheism like in Abrahamic religions, neither paganism or polytheism as they accuse Hinduism which is utterly false and outright deceptive.
In Hinduism God is Father God and Mother God/ess (Shiv-Shakti, Brahma-Saraswati, Vishnu-Lakshni). God manifests in many ways.
Monotheism or the ultimate Reality in Hinduism is definitely expressed multifold ways.
You have forgotten your ancestral language.
That is certainly not a problem.
I am not even indian at all and I can understand and speak some Hindi already. It is not that difficult if you put enough effort. I would like to learn some Sanskrit and Tamil (I find Tamil intriguing because it is a classical and very old language of Southern Bharat) also in the future, perhaps any other indic languages.
If there is a will, Prabhu (The Lord) makes the way easy for the devotee.

When I was growing up in Singapore you rarely saw Malay women wearing anything other than sarong kabiyya but then they started wearing scarves but now they are wearing hijabs. This is because of raising Islamist in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Then suddenly the Church's were being funded from America and they were more and more fundamentalist and they were out on the streets with loud hailers and banners and were very aggressively shouting about hell and the end of the world.
As LKY says here all this is silliness.
Yes, he anticipated it, it happened. Very unfortunate and hence the important of a bright, logical and strong government
Don't equate Indonesia with the likes of Malaysia, Saudi Arabia or any other country with their Islamic laws. Indonesia has never been an Islamic country, and we Indonesians don't turn into that one.
Our stateman confirmed that atheism have rights to live here in Indonesia.
Islaamophobes are always h8ful.
This is very very important. I will take note of this for years to come. I was not aware that the hijab was only a recent thing with regards to Asia and the rest of the islamic world outside of the middle east. A very great tragedy that women had to be constrained only so recently where before for centuries even under colonialist rule their movements were only constrained based on racism rather than by their own religion
Obviously how a women chooses to dress is a sign that she’s extreme because she doesn’t want men to see her body. Oh how so very extreme she is 😂

I am born in a Hindu family but had no specific interest in religions. I started my schooling in a convent, but after a while, I was put in a government school.
Every day, after the National anthem was played I used to draw a cross on me. My friend a church-going Christian asked me which Church I go to. I told him I don't go to Church. He asked me why I draw a cross after the assembly. My reply was that I may be a Christian and I needed to check with my mother who was a Professor as she would probably know.
It turned out that in the Convent I started drawing the cross after assembly, I used to draw the cross and my mother has seen me draw the cross even in temples.
"Why didn't you tell me"? I asked.
"Young children's minds should not be poisoned by these differences."
From that day I had more respect for Hinduism.
Rubbish...surely u are paid for saying this
It's not poisoning it's just truth. The differences are important. God is literally our Heavenly Father, that's something eastern religions don't believe. Have you read Bible+BoM?
If you were a Muslim or Christian and did the same thing, your Christian parents would have punished you.
@@phoenixj1299 coming to mine they educated me and gave me knowledge. knowledge to search the truth .....I was also the person who was against religion but as I studied the Abrahamic religion it has a significant truth regards to history with a mystery....the person who started this thread is a lier..... because all the Christian school I mean all will give u knowledge but finding the truth is your mission.
Its not just something that they poison u...
U know in hindu culture we have the habit of touching the feet of elders to take the blessings they keep their hands and say live long... Why do they keep their hands on us its not something that they bless our life to be ruined like theirs. Even keeping cross they say god bless you. They dont even say jesus bless you. It depends on us how we take up others jestures.....
U say that u respecred hinduism more from that time but dont u realize child marriages, wife being burnt alive if husband dies, untouchability.... Are these all do u think your God likes.... If yes imagine the way ur god hardcore to the heart a merciless cruel mind
The heading 'Warns on dangers of' is flawed because he emphasised, 'Live and let live' showing that he is open to religious differences. The title of this video should read ' Mr LKY warns about mixing politics with religion'.

he didnt say that.. he said no evangelising or dawah

Voting in a secular state is forcing your views on other people. Not everyone agrees with the tories.
Every day you enact your worldview on other people by interacting with them. The only way to “live and let live” is to live on an island alone, then you truly can do whatever you want. Otherwise you have to have boundaries and rules of conduct if there was another person. Because both people can’t do what they want without infringing upon the other. The idea of a Christian proselytizing is similar to a mother who cares deeply for her son. If you love someone you will be angry when they do something stupid to hurt themselves, such as abusing opiates, etc. This is the same with Christianity. The Christian sees people living selfishly, and by that hurting others, themselves, and most importantly God who desires the best at all times for all people. And to live selfishly is stupid, and unreal. Because the Law of God is simply a description of reality. Yea verily if you jump off the roof a building you will become paste.
But, I do not condone Christian dominance in the sense of controlling government institutions. That is a grave danger.
I agree completely
@@matthewallen3811 " The idea of a Christian proselytizing is similar to a mother who cares deeply for her son." I disagree with that. Its the standard operadi of old British and Jesuits forces when they took over a city or country, they sent in the missionaries. The end result is the destruction of all cultures and traditions. Chinese traditions like visiting ancestors grave are frown upon, having a picture of idols is demon worship. Who the hell died and made Christian god? Christianity is at best a religion made in middle ages. 1000 years ago, you barely had handwriting and even calendar, let alone write the bible. U r a new kid on the block, just like Judaism and Islam.

It’s the strong responsibility to take care of the weak and ensure the weak become as strong if not stronger than them that’s how the human race improve and evolve. It’s the duty of the weak to give reverence and authority to the strong to ensure they continue in their responsibility to protect the weak.
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my That‘s why there is space exploration to get more resources, it’s also the reason why China is one of the few uninterrupted civilisation. It‘s also the reason why homosapiens are able to win the compeition against other species. That’s because the strong have to care for the weak and to get the weak to become stronger thus improving the rest of the human race. Of course in extreme circumstances definitely is to give more resources to the strong, but in general circumstances it‘s the strong that have the responsibility to take care of the weak. Of course I am not talking about sharing resources equally here.
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my FYI, genetics determines your starting point and how far you might go. The important word here is might and genetics does change with time although it‘s much harder and if you talking about genetics what determines strong and weak is the context of the situation. Tutoring the weak improves the info and intellect of the whole human race. It prevents the human race from extrinction because of certain unforseen events. Tutoring also ensures the strong continue to work harder and not rest on their laurels. Without support for the weak, the strong will rest on their laurels and cause overall degneration and degradtion. Very seldom you have the strong maintain in a position of strength throughout the entireity of their lives same with the weak. Your idea would destroy the entire human race, because the strong when hit with illness without supporting the weak, there is no replacement.
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my You are outdated already based on these past 3-5 years China whether it is patent application or journal usage and discoveries already exceeded US.

You are still too young as a civilisation to understand the depths and marvel of the interaction between humans, nature and the universe.

Actually that was and is Buddhismus. And you cannot actually consider it religion, but a specific, rather spiritual view. Compare with Abrahamic religions (pro and contra list). Lee Kaun Yew is the future. If there will be future.

Hence a King like God sitting on his throne in the Heavens
Heaven is his Kingdom
To please him one must get down on one's knees, beg, grovel, sing his praises, swear eternal loyalty & obedience
And of course no King/Dictator would tolerate allegiance to another and so the hate and threats against all others
Think of living in Russia under Putin or North Korea today!
That was the life back than and the ancients came up with such Gods!
What is frightening is to see today's best and brightest blindly following these primitive ideas of God
@@ramaraksha01 Yes, blind obedience is both frightening and a leftover from less rational times.
May peace prevails in the world.

He is correct on most counts except initial part about Hindus and Indira Gandhi. The entire party and ecosystem in India until 2014 was about appeasing Muslims. Getting facts from Marc Tully is not great.

Amazing speech! He was a great man who really understood the world and spoke the truth! ❤🎉
He only understood the world through the prism of Asian eyes.

He understood nothing but what his masters told him to understand.

Really?
Great lecture Mr. Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, old video footage with great value. RIP.
Great man, absolute genius who helped bring democracy & prosperity to Singapore. Visionary who saw the dangers of religious supremacism.
Singapore is not a democracy lol, its a hard dictatorship but a dictatorship who truly cares about its citizens.
As a person that grew up roman catholic, it was only in adulthood that I realized and understood that religion should not separate me from the rest of my fellow humans. I try my best to discern by character and motives more than any of my preconceived notions. Take care out there, the world is crazy. ❤
love your enemies
I understand what you say. I went to Mecca 2 times myself, only after adulthood it becomes clearer that I can control & guide only myself. Ppl have various understandings on one particular sentence or strings of sentences; it is so easy to become fanatic and in THAT PROCESS, you'd ignore rationalism and hurt people left and right. I am quite pity for those who try as hard as 25-ish to get married (and so many other things which I cannot pin pointing it here). But I must tell you - to embrace oneself; we have to educate and there is nobody better to educate ourself but our own self. Don't expect everyone will able to allow themself to change coz it is only in our fantasy world it would happen. Simple and clear desicion for me
honestly - christianity overall would not have the bad reputation it has today had the christians of the past (and the present) not acted like a morality police. religious principles should be applied to ourselves first, and then our good actions should be enough to make the world understand that god is good. but what do many people do....the opposite!
Yes, dogma can not contain God and humans can be good or evil independently of dogma.
Nikos Zakantzakis’ Zorba the Greek, “I have done things for my country that would make your hair stand. I have killed. Destroyed villages. Raped women. And why? Because they were Turks! or Bulgarians! That's the rotten damned fool I was. Now I look at a man - any man - and I say, he is good, he is bad. What do I care if he's Greek or Turk? As I get older, I swear by the bread I eat, I even stop asking that. Good or bad? What is the difference? They all end up the same way... food for worms!”

Christianity spread as the Spaniards landed on the shore brandishing swords and the holy cross in each hand shouting "In the name of Jesus we proclaim this land to be ours!" and soon began killing the unsuspecting natives who had gathered to see them arrive in curiousity. This happened in Africa, the Americas but not in India, China and other SE Asian nations, where the civilisations predate the Christian theological records.
So wrong .....read the history again
@@R_m_is-true why dont you read the Spanish Inquisitions and see what kind of people are running the church?
China and India, are older then any European civilization, that includes Rome and Greece.
That's a misconceived view of history, or at least an extraordinarily one dimensional one. I encourage you to do some more research so we can debate this here. God bless.
@@musilily926 Christianity is created for mental and cultural slavery. Its meant to wipe up all cultures so the world can bow to a white god. Once u don't have cultures, histories or traditional anymore, the church can manipulate u however they want.

Brilliant man. Highest respect. 👍🏻👍🏼👍👍🏾👍🏿
In India , all temples including Sikhs ,Jains ,Hindus, Buddhist r under govt control while church and mosques ,madrasas r free hence the result is that :
1) after Govt of India , 2nd largest land owner is the Catholic and The 3rd largest is the Waqf board a Muslim personal law board
2) the Muslims have their own personal shariah court and churches their own ..
3) the land scam of the Churches is enormous with no transparency thus un-named cemeteries r rising 2 times the normal speed leading to massive problems in governance and causing constant friction while Hindus r not even allowed to do a small Yatra or a religious procession in Christian or Muslim dominated area .
Thus yup this is true secularism of India...
No only Hindu temples are under controlled Jain's and Sikhs are 2%and1% respectively is the reason you never heard about it
I’m from Fiji, the native in Fiji were doing well financially and emotionally before converting to Christianity, now most are becoming poor. The British who converted them took away their land, they all poor now. And Indians who British took there, are still hindu till today and I’m one of them.
Fiji, GDP/capita 2022 5,317usd. India, 2,389usd.
Isn't eternal life worth something to you?
@@earlysda India 's per capita is lowered because of high population. Fiji might have higher per capita but can it survive on it's own? Does it make medicines, engineering goods, grow all it's food, and survive without any help from the outside world? No. There is more to a country than just per capita income. Guess which country had the vaccines during COVID? Definitely not Fiji.
@@gotfan7743got, why did you attempt to join this conversation, since it is apparent that you are not addressing any of the issues raised in this conversation?
@@earlysda I have already mentioned. Higher population in India and lower population in Fiji skews the data in favor of Fiji.

"Dangers of religions "
This only came about after the WW2 and the new world order agenda being imposed on the masses of the nations globally.
Read pre-world War history. People fared well in religiosity. Moral decadence was at the lowest. Society illness at the lowest. And a lot of other things.
Read about welfare of society during that time. Exception is where corruption took evil root in the great churches leading to birth of secularism . From here, they wanted to spread their secular ideology to other nations. To make them carbon copy of themselves. And thise who don't oblige or bend to their ideology, face great challenges, particularly economic boycot even sanctions of inter-trade.
Look about around yourselves and within yourselves; what identity do you have? You are what they intended you to become: carbon copy of themselves, embracing their ways of lives, beliefs and everything. Your ancestirs would not even recognise you as their progeny if they could come out of their graves today!!
This is the fact. And only those who abandoned their roots will say religiosity is dangerous.
Our ancestors lived with different religiosity in harmony all these years, it was never a problem until that idea was planted into our heads.
During LKY times, the local Muslims got sucked the idea of secularists and almost became like them. Almost. Until, by God's grace, the realisation dawned upon them and they repented and mend their ways.
Christians or Muslims, are only mending their ways to return to the path of the one true God for the benefit of life here and hereafter. And that is totally praiseworthy ❤.

@TRUTH EXPRESS you can compete whitout violence stupid Fbi asshole
There is one much higher...........Falun Gong
Beliefs r personal choices, and not the problem. It only become a problem when believers come together and form an organisation known as religion.
Historically, religions have many times manipulated beliefs to enforce their agenda, to the extent of sometimes going the opposite of their beliefs, creating not bliss but instead suffering for many.
Ultimately, men determine the goodness of beliefs.
You have indeed done your research.
I think believers always go in groups , so they can acknowledge each others beliefs and finally it forms a religion ;where they try to make everyone like them by using any/every method. this is my current take on it.
Nonsense
What he said are still applicable to this day as we see more of such things happening right now on large. true leader who had facts right n solutions right ❤
I can listen to his speech all day😊
I miss u so much Sir, there wont be another Great Leader like you again. Love you LKY. U are Singapore and Singapore is you I am proud of you
Thanks for the video. It's scary how LKY nailed it when these comments were made decades ago. Religion is a sensitive issue and in this PC climate today his words would have been a no go.. looking at the comment thread here definitely scared me a little... "live and let live" is the most important thing, and on a larger scale the separation of religion and governance. Everyone can believe that their religion is the absolute truth but the problem comes when someone impose their religious beliefs to others or even persecutes others because something is wrong in their eyes. We see in many countries when religion gets mixed into politics it gets really ugly and the minorities who believe in another religion suffers... hopefully Singaporeans and Singapore can be sensible and can balance their religious beliefs with tolerance for others because no religion has the absolute claim to all the truth of the world... Peace
live and let live cannot happen with Abrahamic religions.
5 years in, and now this had extended to opinions, people shoving their opinions down others' throats, "live and let live" hope it comes back again
Yes it is happening in Malaysia the change law to convert little children to Islam without mother's consent and the civil court allowed that in Loh Siew 3 Children converted by a bigot mufti Asri of Perlis because the Islamic extremist in perlis passed law of unilateral conversion of underage children against the federal constitution.
Strangely, the most persecuted groups in the world, are the true Christians. (there is a nominal group who are Christian in name only). It will continue to be persecuted and hounded, accused and matyred till the end of age. China is an example, but today, Christians exist in the millions. Today the news in Manipur, India is very sad. Many tribal groups who are mainly Christians had their churches and homes looted and burnt, with silent consent from the government. Is it in the news? No. And it's not for political but for religious reasons.
The Myanmar tribal Christian groups are also suffering the same fate from the Junta. See the thousands of Myanmar refugees spilling into neighbouring countries - Malaysia, for example. If you have worked among the refugees, you can hear their sad tales. Malaysia is under constant threat of losing peace and harmony because of politicians using race and religion to get power. We too long for the tolerant, peaceful years of long ago that LKY speak about, where our friends were from all races and religions. We formed many happy relationships

Singapore was truly blessed to have a visionary like Lee Kuan Yew. I have reached a similar mindset like this after learning how Abrahamic religions operate. I truly hope my country leaders in India follow your advise ie. "sensible, sensitive but firm government will ride the clash of religions while soft government trying to accommodate everybody will lead to a big mistake". PS- Indian leaders never really stood firm on our hope i can only pray that they atleast follow this visionary.

In my view Lee Kuan Yew is one of the greatest political leaders in the modern world.
He kept a multi religious society secular, transformed it from a third world to a first world society. And all this in just a single generation

Then you haven't seen, heard about, or read Thomas Paine, the greatest of America's founding fathers.
As someone who was born, raised, and "educated" (brainwashed) in "Judeo-Christian" America, it gives me great hope to see that there is at least one successful, first-world country that is not majority Abrahamic religions.

Well put, Mr. Prime Minister. The world will be secular . Religion has failed to inform legislation in any way, shape, or form. The rule of law must prevail. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
"The rule of law must prevail". Yes, God's law.
@yagi3925 The rule of law in secular i e a nation of laws, not a theocracy. Morals came long before any religion, and as the world is moving to change to humanism - away from
religious ideas and dogma. Secularism. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺
@@redmatters9318 I don't give a damn about you "secularist" blabla. The universe IS a theocracy because it was created by God. God is its master and Lord, has always been and will always be. Whether you and some others like it or not does not matter, it's pointless.
A study of secularism will quickly show that secularism is basically Western Christianity with the word "god" crossed out.
Read "Dominion" by Tom Holland to understand what this means.
@@redmatters9318 Well as an agnostic myself I can tell you your prediction is doomed to failure. Studies have shown that atheists can't bother themselves to have relationships, let alone babies. They have also shown that religion is in the genes. All atheism has done has separated the atheists from the religious and then made the atheists go extinct. We're seeing this all over the secular world - Japan and China particularly badly affected. Seems that atheism is the best thing that ever happened to religion.
The future of humanity is a religious one, and probably quite a fundamentalist religious future at that.
We are so lucky to have had this thoughtful man guiding the initial development of Singapore. Live & let live please, respect each path to the divine. 🙏

Singapore is a highly developed nation now, the most successful in all of Asia due to Lee Kuan Yew only.
i am a christian and i aprove mr LKY message. The push to govern from both islam and christianity are a bit going into silly. belief suppose to make us a better person and not to push others to be like us or subjected to the same rules. It also saddened me that the key to have world peace is less focus on religion it self and more focus on tollerating people space and leaving them to their own things. I think both religion and tolerance isnt the goal for everlasting peace... what are peace without God? what are God if we only have strife ?
Look at LGBTQ+ & Pornography today. The degradation of human morality. Learn Islam. Muslim is just a human being that make mistake. However learn from muslim scholar.
Muslims aren't real Muslims if they don't follow Muhammad PBUH
Muhammad PBUH make Islam as rule of the lands he conquered
so if you don't agree tu put religion as a rule of country, it means you don't agree with Islam as a whole
*Christianity is NOT governed by a “sharia” . Jesus clearly said things like “My Kingdom is NOT if this world.” And “Give to Caesar (gov) what belongs to Caesar and to GOD what belongs to GOD.*
You cannot blame a faith based on idiocy of people. You go by what the book says...
Christianity isn't a religion. It's a way of life. It appears that the Christians LKY came into contact with did not help him to know the essence of Christianity, its message, its demands and most important of all what Christ came to offer humans. I wonder if LKY ever had the chance to read the Bible and imbibe its message- the redemption only Jesus offers. Had he truly known and experienced these, he would have come to a different conclusion. Jesus remains the ultimate solution to the world's problems!!
