| Book Description | Few observers expected tiny Singapore to have much chance of survival when it granted its independence in 1965. How, then, did the remote trading station and former colony become a thriving global metropolis that not only possesses the most successful airline in the world, the best air airport, and the most active seaport, but also ranks fourth in the world in average real per capita income? Digging into the meticulous detail of his notes, diaries, and papers, as well as government documents and official records, Lee Kuan Yew describes the tireless efforts the Southeast Asian city/island nation needed to survive. Lee Kuan Yew provides a comprehensive explanation of the methods and methods that he and his colleagues in government followed to eliminate the communist threat that beset the fragile security of the island, and to begin the exhausting and exhausting process of building the state: building infrastructure roads through lands covered by swamps, creating an army of an ethnically and ideologically divided population, eliminating... The scourge of corruption remaining from the colonial era, providing public housing for the masses of citizens, establishing a national airline, and building a modern airport equipped with the best equipment. In this enlightening, descriptive novel, Lee Kuan Yew writes candidly about his effective, astute approach to his political opponents, and about his radical, out-of-the-ordinary views on human rights, democracy, and inherited intelligence, aiming to "always be right in life, not in politics." There is nothing in Singapore that his keen eyesight or alert eyes have not noticed: from the selection of plants and seedlings to transform Singapore into a lush green oasis, to the renovation of the romantic Raffles Hotel, to the blatant, frank and bold urging of young men to marry girls of the same cultural level as themselves. Today, clean, tidy Singapore bears the clear imprint of Lee Kuan Yew, and he makes no apologies for his influential influence in his country: “If Singapore is a nanny-state, then I am proud to take care of it and nurture it.” Although Lee Kuan Yew's domestic arena is limited in size, his energy and energy ensure him a wide playing field and an influential position in the arena of international affairs. In his inimitable style, he brought history to life through his convincing analyzes of some of the most important strategic issues of our modern era, and revealed how, over the years, he was able to skillfully navigate amidst the volatile tidal waves that swept through relations between America, China, and Taiwan, playing the role of a trusted advisor at times, and a testing tool for the correctness of... Ideas and opinions at times, and the conveying messenger at times. He added frank, even stark, paintings of his contemporary politicians, leaders, and leaders, such as the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, the steely and invincible president, Ronald Reagan, the poetry-less Chinese leader, Jiang Zemin, and the (dogmatic) presidents, George Bush and Deng Xiaoping. Lee Kuan Yew was born in Singapore on September 16, 1923 AD, to a family belonging to the third generation of Chinese immigrants coming from Guangdong Province. He studied law at the University of Cambridge in England, and in 1954, he founded the People's Action Party, which won the first elections held in Singapore in 1959. He then became the first Prime Minister of Singapore, at the age of thirty-five. In November 1990, he resigned from his position to remain a minister in the Singaporean government. |
