I'm American, I respect this man so much after reading his life story and accomplishments. Lee Kuan Yew was one of the most brilliant Statesmen of the 20th century. He was a man of action and results. He was not a man of demagoguery, moral posturing, or flashy speeches. He simply delivered prosperity, development, and united a country that is so diverse. Racially, ethnically, religiously, and politically. I severely hope that American politicians can learn from this man, but truth be told modern American politicians are spineless and only care about poll numbers. The Era of great and revolutionary political leaders who have the spine and commitment to do the right thing is now gone, it's all about polls and popularity. Which is why the American republic has become so dysfunctional over the years.

Now Singapore is loosening up on this, not as tight as before. You have to understand why LKY restricted people in earlier days. Singapore was left alone to die, in order to survive, he has to be stern, no time for nonsense. He cannot afford anyone to screw it up. It was really tough, especially with at least 4 races together. He has to ensure no fights between races and religions, we have to build Singapore together, if anyone said something that would lead to a riot, he would put them behind bars. Was he wrong? To others, he may be a dictator, but to me.. no. Without his iron fist in politics, Singapore will not be as prosperous as today. He sacrificed his whole life for Singapore. You can watch his speech after we were separated by Malaysia, you can feel how he felt at that moment, it was really do or die. And Singapore made it. He made us so proud. Try to understand him, I saw him in person before, behind his stern look, he was a very humble kind man, he really was. He wasn't a dictator, he did it for Singapore and his people.

He can allow that 1 opposition to continue his bullshit, and it will grow from 1 to 100, 100 to 1000 and ultimately big enough to cause CHAOS, and drop in National Security and Confidence. By that time, Singapore will reduced back to a swamp, and democracy is the LAST THING on your mind. Indeed.. We enjoy more things now. Which means we have MORE TO LOSE than we were in the mud era. Instead of trying to destroy it, you may wish to preserve it. Look at the big picture. The fact is, MAJORITY of us are living well. What most Singaporeans want are Homes, Educations, Healthcare and Jobs and pursue our own Passion in life. Thus, stop your nonsense. Because it takes a time of generation to build up Singapore, but it takes few days of riots and political instability to bring it all down and go back to square one. There is only 1 chance for Singapore, that is to MOVE UP by being more tighter and disciplined. You unwind that, it is curtains for everybody.

A nation where there is religious pluralism (Your USA has that?), prosperity and economy with 7000 MNC, 26,000 international companies, and 1,00,000 for their 5 million people. One of the four Asian Tigers, Singapore is gateway to Asia Pacific and headquarter for almost all MNC, since it has people who act a broker and communicate in APAC which is complicated. Safest place for women, kids with low crime rate, one of the cleanest place? (USA is full of crime, drugs and guns problem). Lee said in 1965 it is an equal society and Singapore will never have race riots. He proved what he said (Singapore is not a pimp like USA is to Israel).

This knowledgeable woman, Top TV financial journalist , Maria Bartiromo host of CNBC's Closing Bell and top-rated The Wall Street Journal, was in Singapore to host CNBC's 9th Asia Business Leaders Awards. She exclaimed that "Coming to Singapore, I find this economy, so dynamic. 17 (17.9%) per cent economic growth in the first half of 2010, new areas of vibrancy whether it's tourism health, care, financial services. this kind of stuff turns me on."

If only the USA could have a great leader like LKY, they could learn a lot from him

[@daraarmand1221]

The problem a person like him would have in the US will be the lack of partisan support and also close to zero airtime he/she will receive to promise his/her policies.

I like that he is a very practical man.

I wish the interview didn't terminate where it did. The last answer begs to be expounded and explored.
