Lee Kuan Yew's BEST Life Advice & Wisdom: Careers, Wealth, Health, Relationships (and more)

[@Colonel_Kassad]

LKY was not a Dictator. He was a Leader. Believed, trusted and followed.

[@lorgerdat]

LKY took the best of east and west and built a great nation. I never thought much about being a Singaporean as a child when we sang the national anthem during school assembly everyday. But now as an adult living abroad, it is amazing what this man accomplished in a life time.

[@leeyanghui6866]

I admired n very proud of him to be our leader..

[@cmachinist]

We need a man like him in America right now. Every Singaporean person is so fortunate to have had a leader like LKY. Imagine how amazing the world would be if every country had their own version of him.

[@BordersLess]

Another quote from his book, One Man's View of the World when asked about his time serving the people: - "I mean, if I want to lead a happy personal life, then I would have remained a lawyer and a businessman and today I would be very much wealthier than I am. But I did not set out to do that. I saw a situation which I thought was wrong and I sought to put it right and I have the satisfaction of seeing better-fed people, better housing, everybody owning their own home, everybody having children who go to school, better health services, recreational facilities, all they could ask for in life. The problem is they now take it for granted and they believe that we can go on autopilot."

[@DinoMan_6]

I’m a 23 year old second generation Hmong man. After 3 years of watching and reading as much on Lee Kuan Yew and some other Asian leaders during the 1900s, all I can say is this is the type of leader the Hmong needed. Instead we were forced into a position of warfare and constant infighting, put in sufferable and indescribable positions by the French and Imperial Japan, we were not so lucky, unlike the men and women who were led by this great man. I too cannot speak my Mother Tongue efficiently and confidently enough to speak to my elders…this I am slowly working on. The current generation of my small population of people deeply saddens me…as the priority conflicts these days have become identity politics and ideologies that those who came before did not need to worry about. This is not good, and I fear it is the final blow to my generation. The loss of our language, rather the inability to express our mother tongue with supreme confidence is what is killing the new generations. History has not been so kind to my people, but there is something within me that is longing to return to the motherland of Asia…I have restless nights because I know my spirit longs to return…but I know it is inevitable that we remain nomads until the end of this planets life cycle.

LKY is not a dictator , never a dictator but the greatest nation builder in the history of the world. Very smart to continue to use English language as Singapore national language, international language and world language . Common sense. And not losing every individual's mother tongue language.

[@marvelcomiks8078]

LKY only locks up people who are a threat to his country and society, and for those who denigrates him or his people, he sues them. That is not a dictator. That is a person who abides by the Law.

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

@Awequayz Ngs Nice try in trying to WHITEWASH the history of what LKY has done against Human Rights! As far as I’m concerned, he is STILL an oppressive Dictator!

[@annemosbergen3951]

The National Language of Singapore is Bahasa Melayu - Malay. There are Four Common Languages of Singapore are Malay, English, Mandarin, and Tamil. Business language is English. They are listed in the Republic's Constitution. Brilliance of LKY to recognize the importance of languages as part of the national identity. AND to recognize the importance of ethnic language identity. This way, the languages and dialects are equally respected. Chinese dialects are recognized as part of the country's ethnic Chinese citizens - for example, Cantonese and Hokkien are the predominantly dialects as most Singapore Chinese citizens can trace their roots to the provinces of Canton and Fukien. Plus, some Singapore Chinese citizens have dialectical roots of Teochew, Hakka, and Hainanese. It is not unusual for many citizens to speak three or four languages and other European and Asian languages. Singapore is an International World City State. Hope above helps.

I wish that more leaders worldwide tried to embody the values he projected. This would help them wield power responsibly and steer their respective countries through these challenging times.

I was working In New Guinea building pipelines in the jungle and living in Bangkok. I worked one month on and two weeks off so I was passing through Singapore monthly and was very impressed with the massive expansion of modern public housing, comercial real estate and manufacturing. That was happening in the early 70's. What really impressed me was the war that the Singapore government was making on corruption. Government Corruption had always been a plauge in Asia stiffling the growth and prosperity of that part of the world and Singapore had pretty much eliminated it. That in my opinion was the main reason for Singapore prosperity today. Many Asians that are not Singaporeans often comment to me that they wish their government would copy Singapore's example.

Success of learning a language is a benchmark for a strong mind, persevere and dilligent person IMO. It actually tells, “look, I did this shitty thing to just be able to speak to you so I won’t give up on you easily in the future because I didn’t give up on learning your language”

[@karengeorginamfoo2003]

@@tsukuneboy I agree with you! On top of that, learning foreign languages also is a sign of humility. Wise people are not egoistic and arrogant. Assuming just 1 language takes all is a sure sign of complacency that could kill. People tend to warm up to the foreigner who takes on their language. If you could do it fluency, you make wonders. In this case, where the late LKY wants his population to master the English and to know their mother tongues set this country up. But I personally do think the bilingualism in this country has gone down. Typically with the command of the Mandarin Chinese language. Not a good sign.
