Javed: Singapore's Advice to Pakistan

Javed Chaudhry - host of Kal Tak program in Pakistan - describes the advice on progress given by Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of Singapore, to the visiting Pakistani delegation during the era of General Zia-ul-Haq. Mr. Kuan, who is widely credited for transforming a barren, out-of-the-way patch of land into one of the most prosperous and peaceful states in the world, advised the Pak delegation that all plans - without implementation - are useless. He insisted that there was no point in drafting of new plans if Pakistani government was not capable or serious about their implementation.

I have tremendous respects for Mr. Yew, the founder of Singapore. Indeed, Singapore is an enviable city-state and I have enjoyed myself every time I have visited it.

Given Singapore's rise from scratch over past several decades, it is only fitting that we pay attention to Mr. Yew's dictum: progress occurs not because of plans but because of ability to implement them. Given Pak's long history of 5-year development plans, we can be sure that our implementation has always been pathetic.

I m from Singapore and really proud for it & it really shows bright message to both India & Pakistan how u can dump religion & participate in active development & economic prosperity of both people & economy rather shit religion which makes people keep hating each other & messing up. People at large have created religion n . If low resourced owned Singapore can do why not both countries! :D

Hi Mr Asif,

How come you understand his program which is in Urdu. If you can, then why your previous generation had such a big problem with Urdu in 1948?
