  • when americans tell China they ought to do this and do that, the chinese at the back of the mind thinks "We have survived 5000 years. Have you?"

    Wow. Brilliant. Still sharp at 85. What a legend !

  • I don't know If Charlie Rose is big wherever he is from..but Cant help but think from the video, Charlie rose made a fool out of himself.. Lee Kuan Yew had a good many laughs at his simplistic understanding.

  • That breathy "exactly" by Charlie Rose at 1:44 sounded so gay.

  • lol, he knows how to keep the American think neutral of Singapore :p

  • charlie sheen is a joke....fareed zakaria's interview on cnn seemed more polished and professional...LKY can be so addictive though...u just wanna hear him..

  • @thinktok

    I never knew GIC is a private compaany.

    What are you trying to drive at?

    Simple .... LKY uses public/superannuation/taxes for to finance a private business. In normal democratic countries this would be corruption. Such behaviour only accepted in Zimbabwe, Burma, Fiji, Vanuatu, Saudi Arabia just to name a few.

  • A very pragmatic genius. No wonder Singapore is so well managed and rich. He is candid and shows great grasp of world affairs and manoevre Singapore to ride the surfs. Without foreign talent, Singapore will be greatly disadvantaged in this globalised world.

  • Chinese has 5K years' civilization, we'd rather US leave us alone. Don't tell us what to do.

  • This is because unlcle Lee did alots of homework. He is hiding something...thats y he laugh. He know the truth but he just twist the fact that can make the american happy :). The answer from uncle lee is not 100%, you have to see yourself. Good job uncle Lee, i love the way you talk.

  • Lee is not a stateman. His political stance has done the following in Singapore:

    1. Lee owns a PRIVATE company called the "Singapore Government Investment Corporation" which uses PUBLIC taxpayers money. No accountability to parliament, no questions allowed. Where do the profits go?

    2. Lee made his son the Prime Minister.

    3. This same son is also Minister for Finance, who in turn gives daddy Sing$100b to play with in private company (see point 1)

    4. The son's wife controls Temasek Holdings.
