  • This interviewer is very rude. I don't like his body language and tone of voice, which is rude in both European and Asian culture.

  • LKY's experienced more than I have (or would ever want to), which I envy him for. He turned a colonial backwater with a strategic location into one of the richest, most sophisticated and cosmopolitan societies in the world. This man is one of my role models since I was a teenager.

  • @lambitron3000 People here find Rose bigoted. He is interviewing a man who has accomplished the near-impossible, and should be asking him for insights. But he seems to care only about getting Mr. Lee to admit that U.S. ideologies are better than Singapore's, China's and practically everyone else's.

  • @MrDeezi Were we watching the same interview? That was a highly ignorant reply by Rose, who wants to slap his narrow U.S. ideologies on Mr. Lee, who thoroughly understands the global picture.

    Point is, each nation should think for itself based on its own unique circumstances. What works for the U.S., should stay in the U.S. Not every nation is wealthy, geographically isolated, and came out of a military win at WWII.

  • Lee: "They just do not want to lose control"

    Rose: "So they afraid of control?" <-- epic reply

  • @bremneshatten The 2 Singapore companies that invest tax payers' money (Temasek Holding and GIC) both do so for the Singaporean people. Singapore does not have the demographics of Australia, or the USA, or any other country, and needs to be run like a conglomerate. Apply any other political / economic system and Singapore will fail, because we're a small island. Look at the results Lee Kuan Yew has delivered. I don't care that his son is the PM as long as he's as competent as his father.

  • I can't believe people are insulting Charlie Rose. This guy has been doing this forever and has interviewed all of the major world leaders, social activists, and entertainers. He hosts the best interview show in the states. I had to comment because I was shocked to see so many comments about 'finger pointing' of all things. Furthermore, it did not seem like Mr. Lee Kuan Yew was very offended.

  • I like him.But,He only had brought up very small country.Don't forget that.

    He should make more effort for binding Asia together.

  • lousy host....... how can American to let this guy run the show... Lousy Charlie Rose. So rude with all finger pointing....
