There are 2 kinds of ‘other leaders’ in the world: (1) leaders in the entrenched longstanding regimes and (2) those in the Western-democratic system. The former are mostly interested in self-enrichment while the latter are mostly interested in winning the next term. Both sets have no interest in long-term benefits to their countries.
@@momcilolukovic6451 there are many examples of nations that emerged out of ‘nothingness’ like Israel or Singapore.

@yeetboi268 Yup. If this 'incredible vision' includes the death penalty, so be it because I know I will never do anything to deserve the death penalty in the first place.

This is a perfect example of a government/leadership that focuses on serving the people. Most countries in the world don’t even do that. Once politicians gain power, they realize they can easily serve themselves and thus corruption exists.

I think A.I. will be the next major trend. To achieve lasting growth like META, it's essential to avoid impulsive decisions influenced by short-term changes. Emphasize patience and a long-term view, and most importantly, seek financial advice for informed buying and selling choices.
Many folks overlook the importance of advisors until their emotions cause them problems. I recall a few summers ago, after my lengthy divorce, I needed support to keep my business going. I searched for licensed advisors and found someone extremely qualified. She helped grow my reserve from $175K to $550K, despite inflation.
This is definitely worth considering! Do you have any recommendations for professionals or advisors I could speak with? I really need help with proper portfolio allocation.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Teresa L Athas” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

LKY said Singapore's success would not be possible if the majority of the population was not Chinese. Is Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea or Japan much worse than Singapore ?
Especially when foreign powers ignore them because it's tiny. Other countries that tried to stabilize after independence were caught up in the Cold War. Research to see how many regimes the CIA toppled simply because they didn't pledge allegiance to the USA
I worked in this incredible country for two years. Although I wouldn't have children in Singapore, It is scary how efficient a country can be. I wish more leaders would look to Singapore as an example of proper leadership.
So much owed to the vision of one very very intelligent and driven man. Lee Kwan Yew’s contributions were immeasurable. Arguably the best nation builder of modern times
It was actually the oil industry. It was basically a gas station for traders. It constantly invested in human development. And made sure that money could only be put into productive assets
Yes this is an underappreciated factor in the so called “Singapore Story”. Oil and petrochemicals played a crucial role. Glad someone else is pointing that out.
Plenty of African countries had an oil industry. Besides conspiratorial nonsense about white people stealing everything, why weren’t they successful then too if that’s all it takes?
Its a country build by the people and FOR the people. Unlike so many developed countries. Canada where I live in, Tax the people to death yet its infrastructure is pale compared to Singapore.
Singapore, the worlds fiercest and friendliest little Authoritarian One Party State. That comes directly from Singaporean family of mine. They have an unspoken social contract with their government, and from what i've seen, most Singaporeans will happily give up many of their freedoms for the safe, prosperous and long lives they get to live.
This is what people don’t understand. You can have a one-party state and still experience tremendous success. In fact, many political scientists and philosophers believe this is a more effective form of governance. The party is more accountable because the people are under no illusions as to who is in control, and this makes the party more responsible if no other reason than to prevent mass uprisings that will overthrow it. It also allows for more robust policymaking that isn’t halted by other parties playing politics.
@@alancantu2557 A one party state's danger is that if it is NOT honest, controls the media AND there's no 3rd party that counts the vote - there is NO accountability to the people. Or like in California where counties are rigged for easy elections which also destroys accountability.
Absolutely! Having a financial expert has been a game-changer for me. They provide tailored advice that takes into account my unique financial circumstances, which has helped me make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

I think Rwanda, once a place of genocide, is modelled on Singapore. The districts are well planned and streets orderly and clean. It has risen from the ashes.
First and foremost, represent your country and not the continent of 54 countries; Singapore is the only developed country in SEA. We decided it was impractical to wait around for everyone
@@NewmaticKeSingapore is definitely not the only developed country in SEA, and even then the average level of development between the two regions is not comparable.
@@ymhktravel yeah maybe. But then again, economically Rwanda is not at the same level as Singapore. Is Rwanda GDP per capita even above $300? Singapore's GDP today is above that of UK, France roughly $100,000. It will take years for Rwanda to be there if it is even possible.
Singapore's journey from a colonial trading port to a global financial powerhouse is truly remarkable! 🌟 The country's focus on strategic planning, innovation, and creating an attractive business environment has been instrumental in its success story.
@olska9498 Even so, Singapore still ranks among the lowest risk for money laundering in the world. As for casinos, I am sure you know full well which are the top 'power houses' out there, so let's not cherry pick.
Unlike its neighbours, Singapore has no natural resources. Therefore it has to rely on its people to push the country. Its neighbours on the other hand are rich with natural resources but they keep screwing themselves through endless corruption. Thus Singapore progresses and its neighbours, regresses. Just look at the strength of the currency and it speaks for itself.
Singapore is great living example of how great people can make difference. People with courage and innovative ideas made a resource scarce piece of land into most advanced among their Asian peers! Glory to their former president Mr Lee as well!
It’s rare to see most of the people in the comment are proud to be led by their country’s leader and also not because of propaganda but rather because of facts. I wish my country has this
@@richardnuevoNah its fine to criticise the SG government. But what you can't do is slander them. If you do, they won't wrongfully imprison you or detain you. We're not that kind of country. What they will do is personally sue you. And they will win.
Wait, so all this time we're told that public expenses are bad but Singapore rose because they built proper public infrastructure, protecting and even nurturing their citizens. Public transit improves the value of land, despite what NIMBYs say.
@@earlysda I understood your comment perfectly. I'm puzzled as to why you would think Singapore's transportation system not help bigger countries? You could always look at how we plan interconnectivity between modes, how we reduce bus routes between estates, how fares are fairly calculated, how we encourage public transport to private vehicles. It's a huge understatement to say we are not a model for your learning purposes.
I use to believe that the government was openly corrupt, but working in an industry that is close to one their ministries, its amazing how the people working in the government care about Singaporeans and their welfare. Sure some of the politicians are corrupt, but the people on the ground working for the government, prioritise the welfare of the nation and I can see their passion in maintaining the status quo. And another driving factor is reputation, Singapore isnt corrupt because corruption will directly affect the money coming in as a country with no natural resource.
@@aislt8786 my bad, by status quo I meant Singapore’s continued drive for constant improvement and actively seeking out methods that will keep Singapore ahead of the curve such as AI etc.
“Sure some politicians are corrupt” like who? Who that you know of still hold office and have not be dealt with? Or is this just another “trust me bro” comment about things you have no knowledge about
@@Thekidisalright we don’t know obviously, but the recent charade with the transport minister being charged with corruption is an indicator that it is still possible. We are all humans, who is to say there is no other minister in power who don’t have secrets that would like to bring to their graves? Regardless my point is that the people working in middle management of the government are valid that they genuinely care about the people. Don’t get me wrong I trust the Singapore government, but that doesn’t mean I will believe that all their hands are clean of corruption, some can be 1 or 2 who has one way or another done something that can be charged with corruption. “Some” Politicians being corrupt is just a fact of life whenever someone wields enough power to bend laws.
For all the comments saying that there is no corruption, there is corruption, it’s just low. Recently, there was a corruption case regarding one of our ministers (S. Iswaran), you can search it up.
There is low corruption, and if there is any corruption it will be dealt with properly. And the Transport Minister scandal to be frank is mild in terms of quantum, but of course it breaches the guidelines so yes an investigation is appropriate considering our zero tolerance approach.
It's a country with leaders who continue to see the importance of allowing, with regulations, international investments. It is a country full of problem solvers rather than blaming it's history and other people. Japan and it's aging leaders should quickly learn from Singapore. This including more Japanese natives to learn the English language.
While I agree with the former, I don't understand this English obsession. You don't have to speak English to become developed or improve your country; that's just a colonial mentality being perpetuated. Japan, ironically, developed itself without speaking a lick of English, and doesn't need to speak it either in the future. Developing people's own language infrastructure is far more important.
@@tstcikhthys It has nothing to do with a colonial mindset and everything to do with being practical in a globally connected world. Plenty of places that were never colonised by the UK have freely adopted English to make their lives easier in a global setting. English is the de facto lingua franca of world finance markets, global trade, aviation, shipping, international law etc. It doesn't matter if more people speak Arabic or Mandarin, theyre not the default. It was Koine Greek 2000 years ago when the Bible was written and today its English.
@@shakeelali20 People incredibly overestimate the importance of English on the world stage, especially now with AI translation available. Even before, it was possible with hiring a translator/interpreter, which is what still happens in contexts like the UN. South Korea, for example, is the #1 in plastics surgeries, and performs them on foreigners who go there to get them where the doctors have interpreters. They're also world leaders in shipping, semiconductors, and electronics. They didn't need English to achieve any of this success, nor will they need it to maintain it. Japan, same thing. China, same thing. Everyone within an economy doesn't need to learn English themselves in order to be successful; they just need to learn and innovate, and that can happen in any language.
Do t forget it has very intelligent people who respect the law and value safety. Can’t say the same about other parts of the world that constantly struggle…
Low corruption, heavy investment in education and infrastructure, a government that regulates properly and builds trust for companies and individuals... The recipe is there, but most countries just decide not to implement it.
Why would any country want to be a dictatorship? They wouldn't. Singapore is a one party state. It has very limited freedom of of choice, speech, expression, assembly, association and the press. It is ultra strict and still uses outdated punishment's as corporal and capital punishment's.
You mean, the illusion that you have clean government. Which is the lie which needs to be preserved so Singapore can continue to help people with their money laundering.
Like it or not, one party rule system works best for country's development. Just look at Singapore, Japan and China. No political turbulence every 4-5 years that wastes country's time and energy. Change of leadership always so smooth and no major policy change after. Easily plan and execute long term goal.
It has to be built on the premise that the party is not corrupt and truly wants the country and economy to prosper rather than just lining their own pockets.
In this case freedom of press is not really a priority when you have a leader like Lee Kuan, one has to consider the state of journalism today, and how much deceit and outright lies destabilise an entire reigon. I hope Singapore keeps its values close and keeps a firm grip on its prospects, instead of following the downward spiral of the west.
AI stocks are set to dominate 2024. I prefer NVIDIA because they're well-positioned for long-term growth and support other AI companies. I know someone who made over 200% with NVIDIA. I'll also consider the other recommendations you made.
I agree. Just because there are opportunities doesn't mean we should dive in without caution. We should look for market analysis or guidance, or seek advice from certified market strategists.
Absolutely, having a solid plan is crucial. My portfolio has been well-balanced and recently doubled since early last year. My financial advisor and I are working towards a seven-figure goal, although this might take until Q3 2024.
Nothing beats the involvement of an expert in any trade or investment, selfishness and greed held many back and they ended up suffering huge losses, and the crypto market- Currencies are no exception.
Lee Kuan Yew is one of the greatest political leader of the 20th century. His leadership is what made Singapore the country it is today His leadership reminds me of the stories I heard of American founding fathers
It's a city state, so many cities had done much better without restrictions on speech. Also the life is horrible for working class with high cost. They don't have country side to look for cheaper accommodation
@@SubhanAIS what no many Singaporeans believe that the country has extremely high cost of living because they expect condominiums, cars, luxury goods etc as a commoner which isn't realistic in any country
"The health of society matters much more than the rights of the individual" - Lee Kuan Yew Many countries in Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America could've been like this, but instead they constantly complain to Europeans about their problems (despite most European countries leaving them alone for 60+ years), and their massively corrupt governments. So far the only country that looks to be adopting Singapore's playbook is El Salvador, wish them well
Most africans are aware of their corrupt and selfish leaders, most people complaining or blaming colonization don't even live in africa. Botswana was one of the poorest country when gaining independence, yet it got quite stable, became an upper-middle-income country, peaceful and innovative thanks to their bright government. As for instance, Rwanda is one of the poorest countries worldwide nowadays, however their president Kagame is truly transforming the country, doing the best for its citizens. Corruption is unfortunately the main factor holding Africa back from developing. In addition their selfish leaders won't do anything for it
@obrandondonaldson1208 But seriously, who's been corrupted African leaders in the past 60 years?? and where is corrupt money deposited?? in offshore banks created and ran by westerners, maybe??
Such a dumb comment by the OP. The Brits did little in Singapore besides making it a port. They didn't enslave the people, steal their resources, expropriate their land, etc. When you have no conception or knowledge of history best to avoid sweeping judgements.
Minimal / No corruption +Long term goals and plans to meet them + Thinking about the future generations and not just themselves All things that here in the UK are completely alien. Everything is corrupt and politicians greedy and get away with it, hoarding the money for themselves. We have no long term goals, and even if we do, no one owns them or follows through with them, or if they do they are only things that benefit the upper class. Everything is done on the short term to try appease current voters / the current economy, at the detriment of everyone a few years down the line.
Not just in the UK, but here in Australia as well. Long gone are the generation of national leaders who put the future of the country at the forefront of their agenda. Singapore, South Korea, China....great examples of leaders dragging their countries out of poverty and becoming the next economic powerhouses. Democratic leaders nowadays are increasingly short sighted, often delivering empty promises, short term policies, just for the sake of the next election. Our future generations have no hopes of buying their own homes because they have to bear the consequences of increasing national debt.
@@zerogamer3380 Agree, but perhaps China shouldn't be as admired as Singapore or South Korea. Yes, they have raised the living standards of the population but there is also the argument that they never should have been that poor in the first place! The Cultural "Revolution" and the "Great Leap Forward" pushed the country into poverty.
@@roastnut Absolutely. As a Singaporean, China is being incredibly annoying in the regions around here too. If a country wants to learn and follow an example, China should not be on that list.
according to Lee Kuan Yew's Memoirs, he learned the value of harsh punishments during the Japanese Occupation. He saw how crime rate was low during the Japanese occupation because the Japanese forces were brutal and did public executions and displayed the bodies of executed criminals. It was to intimidate people into compliance and it was effective. So he made sure the laws and punishments were harsh enough to maintain order, without the inhumane brutality of the Japanese.
I love Singapore. They had a strong leader with a vision, pragmatism over ideology, social harmony, law and order, and subtle authoritarianism for stability.

I don’t see a problem aggressively invested into equities as long as you have enough cash to live on for 5 years, most people consider using financial advisors in order to avoid a fiasco
At one point of time the Malaysian ringgit (MYR) and the Singapore dollar (SGD) were level. One country went on to become a a world renowned hub and the other is hurtling towards mediocrity with its skewed policies, religious extremism, systemic corruption and systemic racism.

I have participated in numerous trading programs over the years and have sifted through a flood of information, but nothing has come close to the clarity, depth and precision of Stephanie Becker's insights. It's like finding a diamond in a coal mine.
And that was why Lee Kuan Yew had to rule those formative years with an iron fist... my father was already a working adult during that period and he often shared how the general population was divided along racial and language fault lines and many had all kinds of ill-informed opinions from hearing/reading what we would now term as fake news. If LKY had granted full freedom of the press at the beginning, Singapore would have gone no where but become a puppet of some larger power controlling behind the scenes. It's so tiring to hear the Western media still peddling this criticism despite the undeniable outcome of those initial policies.
Thank you for sharing. Financial education is crucial today to show incredible resilience and discipline in the volatile market, masterfully balancing strategy and insight for success.

Singapore is like Japan: Poor in resources but rich and powerful economy. This just shows that natural resources or not. It all comes down to the leadership
They run a budget surplus every year, they have low taxes on their citizens. They have plenty of cheap sporting / leisure facilities for everyone to enjoy together. The transportation system is great, taxis are cheap. Changi airport is probably the nicest major airport in the world. Starting soon you can enter Singapore through passport e-gates, no matter your nationality...truly a country that welcomes visitors without frustration. Healthcare and education are first class. They leave nobody behind ... no homeless people. The only major downside: many people squeezed onto a small rock without too much real nature to explore. The biggest plus: safety ... Singapore is one of the safest places to live. There are no dodgy neighborhoods, or chavs walking on the streets looking to mess with your life.
Leaders are important. Just look at Burma and Singapore. We got independence back and front. Burma with enormous natural resources is still poor and in war. Singapore without any natural resources, they are at the top.
I enjoy watching your videos, they are always educational but The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. I mean I have heard of people making upto $250k in couple weeks during this crisis and I'd like to know how.
You're correct; I always advise new investors to seek guidance from professionals and to invest under their supervision for successful long-term gains.
6:21 It doesn't invalide the fact that inequality is still declining, feelings may be important to consider, but they should never invalidate empirical evidence
It didn't turn them rich overnight, which many politicians and voters in the world think what their govt can do. It requires long term planning, execution, innovation etc. Mere talking won't work. Thus the reason Singapore govt being one of the restrictive in term of press freedom coz they don't mean BS.
What I admire about Singapore is the vision and leadership of its first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew. He played a crucial role in shaping the country's success and prosperity. While I live in a democratic country where freedom of speech and protest are valued, I believe that a strong, authoritative leadership can be beneficial for economic growth and stability. Singapore's economic prosperity and development are testaments to Lee Kuan Yew's effective leadership. I admire Singapore's model, which prioritizes economic progress while maintaining social harmony, even if it means limited freedom of speech.
Really interesting to read differing views on Singapore. But just like there is no perfect human, I believe Singapore is not perfect either. It definitely still has many improvements to make in terms of governance and equality, but it’s also important to be grateful for the current Singapore that we have :)
1) You need strategic geographical location. 2) You need stronger leadership, no full-on western style liberal democracy nor populist political religion theocracy. 3) Meritocracy, meritocracy, meritocracy. Human capital is priority. 4) Clean governance (at least clearer than their neighbors and beyond) 5) Finally, Lee Kuan Yew
I also heard that drugs are absolutely not tolerated in Singapore….that is such a destruction to society and unfortunately, that is so prevalent here in the U.S.!
I was born in Singapore, lived in Los Angeles for 11 years and now I am back to Singapore. Let me tell you the truth in simple terms: 1) Death penalty and harsh penalty for criminals (no exceptions) - so SAFETY 2) STRONG emphasis on real world education - no liberal studies or gender ideology 3) National healthcare - so Medicare for all 4) Libertarianism without bragging about being a Libertarian country - we just think it's natural 5) National housing - no homelessness 6) Prostitution is legal and regulated - no pimps, no drugs (see item 1) 7) Most of the ethnic make up is Asian (I know, it's controversial to say but works, and see item 2) 8) Our politics is about resolving problems and prevent problems (education, safety, health, finance), NOT a team sport to destroy the opposition parties 9) Easy to start a business without lots of red-tapes 10) 5-8 year government planning plus deliverables working with experts around the world in exchange of practical ideas/solutions 11) Reasonable taxes and reasonable military budget
We in the Dominican Republic need measures like Lee Kuan Yew’s methodoligy to focus our country, eliminate crime, eliminate corruption and grow healthy. There's no way a country may progress paying so much attention to "liberty", which in reality is debauchery

It was actually the oil industry. It was basically a gas station for traders. It constantly invested in human development. And made sure that money could only be put into productive assets
Yes this is an underappreciated factor in the so called “Singapore Story”. Oil and petrochemicals played a crucial role. Glad someone else is pointing that out.
Per the video, it started with manufacturing.
The oil industry is because of the leadership though. Singapore has no oil reserves, but has one of the largest oil refining facilities
Plenty of African countries had an oil industry. Besides conspiratorial nonsense about white people stealing everything, why weren’t they successful then too if that’s all it takes?

Singapore, the worlds fiercest and friendliest little Authoritarian One Party State. That comes directly from Singaporean family of mine. They have an unspoken social contract with their government, and from what i've seen, most Singaporeans will happily give up many of their freedoms for the safe, prosperous and long lives they get to live.
They democratically elect the one party
This is what people don’t understand. You can have a one-party state and still experience tremendous success. In fact, many political scientists and philosophers believe this is a more effective form of governance. The party is more accountable because the people are under no illusions as to who is in control, and this makes the party more responsible if no other reason than to prevent mass uprisings that will overthrow it. It also allows for more robust policymaking that isn’t halted by other parties playing politics.
@@alancantu2557 A one party state's danger is that if it is NOT honest, controls the media AND there's no 3rd party that counts the vote - there is NO accountability to the people.
Or like in California where counties are rigged for easy elections which also destroys accountability.
But Singapore lucked out with a benevolent dictator like the great Lee Kuan Yew. His tactics might have been heavy handed but they clearly worked.
tbh I don't think LKY massed much wealth compared to most dictators.. they did benefit from the system but not a crazy amount
The BTO flat in Singapore has been instrumental in fostering wealth creation among a majority of citizens.

Singapore's journey from a colonial trading port to a global financial powerhouse is truly remarkable! 🌟 The country's focus on strategic planning, innovation, and creating an attractive business environment has been instrumental in its success story.

Unlike its neighbours, Singapore has no natural resources. Therefore it has to rely on its people to push the country. Its neighbours on the other hand are rich with natural resources but they keep screwing themselves through endless corruption. Thus Singapore progresses and its neighbours, regresses. Just look at the strength of the currency and it speaks for itself.
ezermt, your comment is mostly correct, but we need to remember that humans are the number one natural resource every country has.
Its location, location, location. Try put the Island in the middle of somewhere else.
Singapore is great living example of how great people can make difference. People with courage and innovative ideas made a resource scarce piece of land into most advanced among their Asian peers! Glory to their former president Mr Lee as well!
It’s rare to see most of the people in the comment are proud to be led by their country’s leader and also not because of propaganda but rather because of facts. I wish my country has this

@@richardnuevoNah its fine to criticise the SG government. But what you can't do is slander them. If you do, they won't wrongfully imprison you or detain you. We're not that kind of country. What they will do is personally sue you. And they will win.

@@earlysda There's always lessons to be learnt from any situation. Closing off oneself is the true reason why it's always never conducive for learning
@@takcody tak, please reread my comment if you didn't understand it, as your comment doesn't address it at all.
@@earlysda I understood your comment perfectly. I'm puzzled as to why you would think Singapore's transportation system not help bigger countries? You could always look at how we plan interconnectivity between modes, how we reduce bus routes between estates, how fares are fairly calculated, how we encourage public transport to private vehicles. It's a huge understatement to say we are not a model for your learning purposes.
I use to believe that the government was openly corrupt, but working in an industry that is close to one their ministries, its amazing how the people working in the government care about Singaporeans and their welfare. Sure some of the politicians are corrupt, but the people on the ground working for the government, prioritise the welfare of the nation and I can see their passion in maintaining the status quo.
And another driving factor is reputation, Singapore isnt corrupt because corruption will directly affect the money coming in as a country with no natural resource.
THANK YOU!
The challenge is not in maintaining the status quo. If we only maintain status quo we dead because everyone else is moving forward.
@@aislt8786 my bad, by status quo I meant Singapore’s continued drive for constant improvement and actively seeking out methods that will keep Singapore ahead of the curve such as AI etc.
“Sure some politicians are corrupt” like who? Who that you know of still hold office and have not be dealt with? Or is this just another “trust me bro” comment about things you have no knowledge about
@@Thekidisalright we don’t know obviously, but the recent charade with the transport minister being charged with corruption is an indicator that it is still possible. We are all humans, who is to say there is no other minister in power who don’t have secrets that would like to bring to their graves?
Regardless my point is that the people working in middle management of the government are valid that they genuinely care about the people. Don’t get me wrong I trust the Singapore government, but that doesn’t mean I will believe that all their hands are clean of corruption, some can be 1 or 2 who has one way or another done something that can be charged with corruption. “Some” Politicians being corrupt is just a fact of life whenever someone wields enough power to bend laws.
For all the comments saying that there is no corruption, there is corruption, it’s just low. Recently, there was a corruption case regarding one of our ministers (S. Iswaran), you can search it up.
There is corruption everywhere. The point is on a scale it’s not comparable to most countries.
There is no comparison with other countries.
The first country about i think to start a business in Asia is Singapore because of low corruption.
There is low corruption, and if there is any corruption it will be dealt with properly.
And the Transport Minister scandal to be frank is mild in terms of quantum, but of course it breaches the guidelines so yes an investigation is appropriate considering our zero tolerance approach.
Was he taken to task?
The difference is getting away with corruption, get it?😂
It's a country with leaders who continue to see the importance of allowing, with regulations, international investments. It is a country full of problem solvers rather than blaming it's history and other people. Japan and it's aging leaders should quickly learn from Singapore. This including more Japanese natives to learn the English language.
While I agree with the former, I don't understand this English obsession. You don't have to speak English to become developed or improve your country; that's just a colonial mentality being perpetuated. Japan, ironically, developed itself without speaking a lick of English, and doesn't need to speak it either in the future. Developing people's own language infrastructure is far more important.
@@tstcikhthys well it seems they are pretty well off with their english. They are not focussed on such issues
@@tstcikhthys It has nothing to do with a colonial mindset and everything to do with being practical in a globally connected world. Plenty of places that were never colonised by the UK have freely adopted English to make their lives easier in a global setting. English is the de facto lingua franca of world finance markets, global trade, aviation, shipping, international law etc. It doesn't matter if more people speak Arabic or Mandarin, theyre not the default. It was Koine Greek 2000 years ago when the Bible was written and today its English.
@@shakeelali20 People incredibly overestimate the importance of English on the world stage, especially now with AI translation available. Even before, it was possible with hiring a translator/interpreter, which is what still happens in contexts like the UN. South Korea, for example, is the #1 in plastics surgeries, and performs them on foreigners who go there to get them where the doctors have interpreters. They're also world leaders in shipping, semiconductors, and electronics. They didn't need English to achieve any of this success, nor will they need it to maintain it. Japan, same thing. China, same thing. Everyone within an economy doesn't need to learn English themselves in order to be successful; they just need to learn and innovate, and that can happen in any language.
Do t forget it has very intelligent people who respect the law and value safety. Can’t say the same about other parts of the world that constantly struggle…
Funny..you didn't see how their law abiding people behave in other countries law right ?
Low corruption, heavy investment in education and infrastructure, a government that regulates properly and builds trust for companies and individuals... The recipe is there, but most countries just decide not to implement it.
Why would any country want to be a dictatorship? They wouldn't. Singapore is a one party state. It has very limited freedom of of choice, speech, expression, assembly, association and the press. It is ultra strict and still uses outdated punishment's as corporal and capital punishment's.
They can't too many people profit from not implementing SG's recipe.
Clean govt is the key here. Pride and sense of personal responsibility and duty in every citizen - whatever you are doing, and whatever job you have
You mean, the illusion that you have clean government. Which is the lie which needs to be preserved so Singapore can continue to help people with their money laundering.
Like it or not, one party rule system works best for country's development. Just look at Singapore, Japan and China. No political turbulence every 4-5 years that wastes country's time and energy. Change of leadership always so smooth and no major policy change after. Easily plan and execute long term goal.
Taiwan as well minus the recent years

It has to be built on the premise that the party is not corrupt and truly wants the country and economy to prosper rather than just lining their own pockets.
Even south korea
How about India
In this case freedom of press is not really a priority when you have a leader like Lee Kuan, one has to consider the state of journalism today, and how much deceit and outright lies destabilise an entire reigon. I hope Singapore keeps its values close and keeps a firm grip on its prospects, instead of following the downward spiral of the west.

So far the only country that looks to be adopting Singapore's playbook is El Salvador, wish them well
Most africans are aware of their corrupt and selfish leaders, most people complaining or blaming colonization don't even live in africa. Botswana was one of the poorest country when gaining independence, yet it got quite stable, became an upper-middle-income country, peaceful and innovative thanks to their bright government. As for instance, Rwanda is one of the poorest countries worldwide nowadays, however their president Kagame is truly transforming the country, doing the best for its citizens. Corruption is unfortunately the main factor holding Africa back from developing. In addition their selfish leaders won't do anything for it
@obrandondonaldson1208 But seriously, who's been corrupted African leaders in the past 60 years?? and where is corrupt money deposited?? in offshore banks created and ran by westerners, maybe??
Such a dumb comment by the OP. The Brits did little in Singapore besides making it a port. They didn't enslave the people, steal their resources, expropriate their land, etc. When you have no conception or knowledge of history best to avoid sweeping judgements.
Minimal / No corruption +Long term goals and plans to meet them + Thinking about the future generations and not just themselves
All things that here in the UK are completely alien. Everything is corrupt and politicians greedy and get away with it, hoarding the money for themselves. We have no long term goals, and even if we do, no one owns them or follows through with them, or if they do they are only things that benefit the upper class. Everything is done on the short term to try appease current voters / the current economy, at the detriment of everyone a few years down the line.
Not just in the UK, but here in Australia as well. Long gone are the generation of national leaders who put the future of the country at the forefront of their agenda. Singapore, South Korea, China....great examples of leaders dragging their countries out of poverty and becoming the next economic powerhouses. Democratic leaders nowadays are increasingly short sighted, often delivering empty promises, short term policies, just for the sake of the next election. Our future generations have no hopes of buying their own homes because they have to bear the consequences of increasing national debt.
@@zerogamer3380 Agree, but perhaps China shouldn't be as admired as Singapore or South Korea.

Lee had many problems, but he could run a country fairly well.
Lee Kuan Yew was the greatest leader we had, Singapore is so lucky to have him transform our nation from third world to first in a single generation
i love how tough their laws and punishments they have over there
according to Lee Kuan Yew's Memoirs, he learned the value of harsh punishments during the Japanese Occupation. He saw how crime rate was low during the Japanese occupation because the Japanese forces were brutal and did public executions and displayed the bodies of executed criminals. It was to intimidate people into compliance and it was effective. So he made sure the laws and punishments were harsh enough to maintain order, without the inhumane brutality of the Japanese.
I love Singapore. They had a strong leader with a vision, pragmatism over ideology, social harmony, law and order, and subtle authoritarianism for stability.

A revolutionary leader who forcibly changed its people way of doing things. Lee provided them a rule of law to follow and enforced it forcibly.
And that was why Lee Kuan Yew had to rule those formative years with an iron fist... my father was already a working adult during that period and he often shared how the general population was divided along racial and language fault lines and many had all kinds of ill-informed opinions from hearing/reading what we would now term as fake news. If LKY had granted full freedom of the press at the beginning, Singapore would have gone no where but become a puppet of some larger power controlling behind the scenes. It's so tiring to hear the Western media still peddling this criticism despite the undeniable outcome of those initial policies.

Truly amazing SINGAPORE 👏👏👏
Lee Kuan is one of the most respectable non corrupt leaders in recent history.
They run a budget surplus every year, they have low taxes on their citizens. They have plenty of cheap sporting / leisure facilities for everyone to enjoy together. The transportation system is great, taxis are cheap. Changi airport is probably the nicest major airport in the world. Starting soon you can enter Singapore through passport e-gates, no matter your nationality...truly a country that welcomes visitors without frustration. Healthcare and education are first class. They leave nobody behind ... no homeless people. The only major downside: many people squeezed onto a small rock without too much real nature to explore. The biggest plus: safety ... Singapore is one of the safest places to live. There are no dodgy neighborhoods, or chavs walking on the streets looking to mess with your life.

What I admire about Singapore is the vision and leadership of its first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew. He played a crucial role in shaping the country's success and prosperity. While I live in a democratic country where freedom of speech and protest are valued, I believe that a strong, authoritative leadership can be beneficial for economic growth and stability. Singapore's economic prosperity and development are testaments to Lee Kuan Yew's effective leadership. I admire Singapore's model, which prioritizes economic progress while maintaining social harmony, even if it means limited freedom of speech.
Competent and financially incentivised leaders
Really interesting to read differing views on Singapore. But just like there is no perfect human, I believe Singapore is not perfect either. It definitely still has many improvements to make in terms of governance and equality, but it’s also important to be grateful for the current Singapore that we have :)
1) You need strategic geographical location.
2) You need stronger leadership, no full-on western style liberal democracy nor populist political religion theocracy.
3) Meritocracy, meritocracy, meritocracy. Human capital is priority.
4) Clean governance (at least clearer than their neighbors and beyond)
5) Finally, Lee Kuan Yew
In simple words, just fill half of the country population with expert workers (expats) from all over the world.

2) STRONG emphasis on real world education - no liberal studies or gender ideology
3) National healthcare - so Medicare for all
4) Libertarianism without bragging about being a Libertarian country - we just think it's natural
5) National housing - no homelessness
6) Prostitution is legal and regulated - no pimps, no drugs (see item 1)
7) Most of the ethnic make up is Asian (I know, it's controversial to say but works, and see item 2)
8) Our politics is about resolving problems and prevent problems (education, safety, health, finance), NOT a team sport to destroy the opposition parties
9) Easy to start a business without lots of red-tapes
10) 5-8 year government planning plus deliverables working with experts around the world in exchange of practical ideas/solutions
11) Reasonable taxes and reasonable military budget
