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!

He's a facist, he believes in eugenics.

He once said: " To maintain a 75% Chinese population, to ensure Singapore's prosperity"

What a dick, our country has too small of a population for racial segregation.

@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

What farsightedness!

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?

[Hajumula]

@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
