People might find tons of mistakes during his reign, however unless Singapore economy down the drain like Greece, nobody can really say this guy make huge mistake. Singapore is basically still in one piece compared to other nations.
Thank you. There is no perfect country in this world. Each have their own fault with ideology and politics. As long as the country and majority of its citizens are well looked after - with a good GNP and standard of living and good health system - you are doing very well. Look at Europe - what a mess! Look at USA ! 14 milion people out of work and many more foreclosures. At the same time, look at 3rd world countries like Burma and Somalia, etc., I would not live there, would you?
People who have not lived for quite a while in other countries and have not had the opportunity to observe certain philosphies, corruption, ideologies and government policies, do not realise that they may have a paradise in their own backyard. There is always dissatisfaction and policies that do not suit everyone in each country. So long as the good and success of the people and the country overides the bad - you are close to success and happiness. The neighbour's grass is always greener!
@MsRwong you are right :) the Singaporeans are lucky to have him, Look at us here in Pakistan with all the resources and man power and talent we are not a nation, its all because we do not have a leader like LKY.. Singapore is blessed
@Hajumula Hey you Paki, Please stop carrying Singapore Balls! Pakistan and Singapore are 2 different countries with different land size, economy, cultures, races etc. You know nothing about Singapore politics, you just want to get a Singapore passport to get out of your own misery. Managing a Majority Chinese in Singapore in a small space is much different to manage than your Pakistanis in your country. Don't try to praise us to "angkat bola". If you don't know what that word means you know nuts

Vivian Balakrishna asked the poor: "Do you want to eat 3 meals in the Hawker Centre, Food Court or Restaurant?"
3 meals in a Hawker Centre would cost about $10 x 30 days would cost $300 monthly leaving $30 to pay for basic neccessities. The poor could hardly afford to eat 2 meals a day!

@DIXIEBOY68 I think you are still living in the 80s. Singapore do not have the best airport, nor it has the busiest port in ASIA. Have you been to Communist China lately? The new Beijing airport outshines our Singapore Changi airport at least by 10 times.
@DIXIEBOY68 Best ranking education ranking? NUS is not even in the top 100 ranking in the world. 80% own their flats? We own the lease only, Einstein. Of course, our basic needs are important. But without true DEMOCRACY we are merely comparable to livestock
ahem 'because he understands people are intrinsically at fault' I think you can read something similar in the Koran. Is he totally honest? I doubt it. I'm not, are you? I'd be grateful you don't have his job.
he loves power, but he is not a fascist nor is he a eugenicist, although he certainly remembers them. Most politicians don't hang on this long, ergo he loves Singapore. He possibly worries about things that may return or may not. He has rewarded his family and his ministers because. You should live somewhere else for a while. I'd recommend Whitechapel, that'll toughen you up. Alternatively you could stay, grow a couple and fight it out here. After all it's your country mate : )
singapore has so many high ranking of having the best busies airport , best airline, busiest port , best education ranking, voted best judiciary, least corrupt police, rank top best place to do business, US$36,000 GDP one of the highest, more than 80% own flats, millions travel abroad for holidays yearly, less than 3% jobless, what else do you want ? Sky the limit or asking for heaven?

To all you ppl who just seem to take down Mr. LKY. If you are singaporean, its a shame the way you behave. You will not be here if not for this man who brought this country to where it is. Other countries are just jealous of our success and our system. You dont like our system, then you leave this country or live with it. There is no greater leader in the world who can follow in his footsteps. You are just full of shit and you think through your arse. This is my Singapore and will always be.
You have all the right to voice your opinion, I do respect that, will Lee Kuan yew Respect controversal views and comment, no no, he is a control freak! so is PAP. "Do what you are told and you will have freedom", "Give up your licerty for freedom", "Cut your pay so the big company will survive", "You have all the freedom of speech, just say it within the free speech zone".

MM Lee is great. I love him. His vision, his knowedge, so fascinating, so mesmerizing. I love him,i hope god keeps him for Singapore. Singapore owes you a huge debt MM Lee.
Constitiution is a contract between Govern Body and the people who are being govern. Law should not come in between them. law should only comes from this "contract" and based only on this contract.
under no circumstances should constitution should be denied because of "Law".
"If it is not totalitarian to arrest a man and detain him, when you cannot charge him with any offence against any written law - if that is not what we have always cried out against in Fascist states - then what is it?If we are to survive as a free democracy, then we must be prepared, in principle, to concede to our enemies - even those who do not subscribe to our views - as much constitutional rights as you concede yourself." - Opposition leader LKY, Legislative Assembly Debates, Sept 21, 1955
"How does the Malay in the kampong find his way out into this modernised civil society? By becoming servants of the 0.3 per cent who would have the money to hire them to clean their shoe, open their motorcar doors?" — Lee Kuan Yew in the Parliament of Malaysia, 1965
If you believe in democracy, you must believe in it unconditionally. If you believe that men should be free, then, they should have the right of free association, of free speech, of free publication. Then, no law should permit those democratic processes to be set at nought, and no excuse, whether of security, should allow a government to be deterred from doing what it knows to be right, and what it must know to be right... " - Lee Kuan Yew, Legislative Assembly Debates, April 27, 1955
"But we either believe in democracy or we not. If we do, then, we must say categorically, without qualification, that no restraint from the any democratic processes, other than by the ordinary law of the land, should be allowed...
After 44 years of indoctrination at school courtyards, classrooms and quadrangles; the PAP has now declared that the pledge is nothing more than an "ASPIRATION" not something that is to be held dear!
So my dear friends, what are you defending? An aspiration towards democracy, justice and equality? Which means none of these are yours as of right but will be conferred upon as when deemed fit.
Clearly Sgeans have been hoodwinked!
I can't wait to leave! Thanks for making it an easy decision
@1XMarksSpot I made that comment a year ago. It is obvious that orders have been given to engage all anti-PAP discourse which I hear is because the GE will be held soon. A year too late and perhaps too little too late too. I have already left if you must know and yes those who are still there will not vote for the PAP no matter what sort of gerrymandering and pork barrel politics the PAP is so fond of using.
@ripvankev That's good because The Monetary Authority of Singapore is a PRIVATE central bank if you've done the research that loans out money created out of nothing to the PAP - at INTEREST! The country you reside in now probably operates under the same system. Good luck.
@Thetrollmaster2000 Actually I'm not really entitled to reply, furthermore. My previous comment was made almost over a year. You are entitled to your view but my view is the same & I beg to differ from yours. Btw, my race is Han Chinese.
We pledge as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion,
to build a democratic society, based on justice and equality, so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation.
Why recite the pledge if it is only an aspiration. It is an indoctrination. Not everyone can achieve their aspirations. Why are there special privileges based on race. Do we need decades, centuries to achieve a level playing field?
you guys should be grateful, try living as a malaysian, then you know what is heaven and hell
