LKY......Thanks

It was strange that I feel sad for a man whom I never met. Have not really even really read one of his greatest trilogy writings. Have heard about younger generations of Singaporean ranting for wanting more freedoms. Certainly have seen a successful Singapore, feel safe walking any where you want and getting a lot things done very fast.

If you want to know how much respect you got is what your people say about you when you are no longer around. Even Dr. M has something nice to say about him, in a personal way, Kuan Yew and I

What he has done inspired many third world countries to do the same. China was one of them. Deng Xiao Ping opened up China after a visit to Singapore. As a result of that, millions and millions of people were liberated from poverty. I am sure the world has also benefited from this multiplier effect.

The greatest criticism on him was authoritarian style. Many have also abused by saying a country can achieve what Singapore had achieved if they sacrifice some of their freedom. In a real world, it is not so simple.

I had a long walk this morning to think about this. My conclusion was, yes I don't mind to submit to a leader who is smart(1st class Cambridge graduate), a workaholics, 100% clean and like a candle that burning himself to light up the nation. That is why too, many tried the model, only a handful successful because some ingredients were missing. Thanks LKY.
