“Whoever governs Singapore must have that iron in him. Or give it up. This is not a game of cards! This is your life and mine! I've spent a whole lifetime building this and as long as I'm in charge, nobody is going to knock it down.”
― Lee Kuan Yew
He has a tough job and very heavy responsibility on his shoulder, but he doesn't give up, managed to build a successful country from practically nothing. He is quite an inspiration and has set a good example for many future young leaders here.🕵🏼♂️🕵🏼♀️
"whoever governs Singapore must have the iron in him. This is not a game of cards, this is your life and mine" - LKY rallly speech
what a great man he was! civilized Singapore and built up a strong economy.
More accurately, people now regard Lee Kuan Yew as nation builder.
Mentor of great men
The Overarching strength of
Lee Kuan Yew was his wife. The unspoken words of encouragement and a lifetime of companionship. Singapore understood her loss when Lee Kuan Yew was inconsolable when she passed away. It was a formidable team.
I just pray or hope there will be another LKY for Singapore.
We need LKY for every other countries. Singapore is always be run by LKY cause his system is immortalised in it.
he was an era defining genius. the world would be lucky to get somebody like him.
Will there a miracle child born soon?
@@PerfectNightHere I guess is it everyone wish but his son should be but is far away
@@PerfectNightHere It will never happen again. Not even his son LHL come close!
Great talks.I truly enjoy it
It must be heaven's will that Singapore has a Harry Lee Kuan Yew that makes 1 in 6 Singaporean a millionaire today.
Facinating
6:18 LKY is a "one man intelligence agency."
7:12 It's more valuable to spend time with one smart who's read a whole bunch of books, rather than reading a bunch of books yourself. Find the smartest person and talk to them. (distilled knowledge)
9:50 He's interested in knowing what makes the winners tick. For example, 'The Right Stuff' NASA astronauts, and memoirs of concentration camp survivors - why some perished, while others made it through. The guy you least likely expected based on his makeup, who survived and thrived later in life.
11:45 For society to work, you had to have a class of almost philosopher kinds
13:08 Two biggest mistakes of leaders: 1) Hubris > Confidence, 2) To miss a transformative opportunity when you're presented with it.
16:00 Without a leader, it doesn't matter even if you have all of the right ingredients - you're never going to make the cake right (competitive advantage granted by resources, location, etc. etc.)
No lee kuan yew,no singapore.

An assumption.

Thank you for the videos of Sunday, 23 March 2015.
Mr Lee Zkuan YEW funeral.
I will leave the Z here.
But, Hsien Loong, my sisters real happiness meant much more important than Singapore policy. How can I be kept in IMH for 16 long years, and 4 January 2024 SMS from my own sister Sally.
It's totally against Integrity, honesty and totally unacceptable 1998 till today. It's totally wrong. HSIEN Loong.
Ok, see what I did that I am so pleased with. See photo. This is what life is all about. See photo. Neat and nice.

Just be pragmatic, what you want is good governance, regardless of the ideology. Since the cold war, most countries and people today have the presupposition that there is and must be a governing ideology that is of absolute righteousness, namely democracy. But in reality, every governing ideology has its flaws, for the longest time about 50% of the democratic countries remained poor, third world and suffering. Today, we are seeing even the best democratic countries starting to fail and produce poor performance. IMO, focus on good governance, what actually needs to be done to produce results, do not focus on ideology. Singapore and China made so much progress because they were pragmatic. Singapore choose the democratic path as the base but employed both socialistic and capitalistic policies and mechanism preserving the pros and eliminating the cons. China realized that communism has failed, and was able to move on and adopt capitalism in global engagement and retain socialistic policies in domestic affairs. Even in western countries, where policies and governance are heavily capitalistic, they always had socialistic mechanisms like tax, social benefits, healthcare etc for balance. Unfortunately those socialistic policies are broken today and we see capitalism run amok in the west causing massive social problems and wealth inequality.

A very fruitful day. The prayer went smoothly. My sisters, Mary and Carol did it between themselves and Eng is taken care of too. Carol's hair is cut, you go for a haircut yourself.
I thought your hair is growing and looks good.
Well, I had 100 assignments to be remembered passionately and a sad family life to give credit to my sisters. Resilient and never say die.
Mr K SHANMUGAM.
100 assignments of interesting antidotes. A real sad family. Why bother 6 to 7 uninteresting innocent merry go round. Common. Bury your head in the sand please.
Everyone all over the world will laugh at you.
Mr K SHANMUGAM
Hongyi shengwu right.
What's there to say. 1998, now 2024.
To all Singapore students, this video is interesting.❤❤❤❤
True
too bad india didnt listen
@14:50 Indira Gandhi was assassinated and her son, Rajiv himself was also assassinated after he took over as the next PM.
Singapore was a mangrove swamp, not a rock🤔🤣
Surprising that a Tamil speaking Jayakumar did not correct the Harvard man that the languages are Chinese Mandarin, Tamil NOT Indian, and Malay are the official languages of Singapore
Because not all Indians in Singapore are Tamilian. If you want to really nitpick than you can name all the Chinese dialects and all the regional Malay dialects there are present in Singapore.
@@WasLostButNowAmFound would love to see your name so that you can understand that there is no classification of languages from India that is called Indian
@@karthikmenon1046 no Singaporean Tamil will talk like this. just saying you're those kind of tamilian from india.
@@WasLostButNowAmFound really and I wonder why ? May because they are lost and now claim that they not yet found! Nitpick in anonymity
@@WasLostButNowAmFound plus shows your immense lack of knowledge of Tamil itself. I am not a Tamilian but a lover of the Tamil language itself
Sorry Sir I Wont Be Able To
Watch As I Am Busy.
19:58 "people who speak indian..." im sorry but youve got to do better than that Graham...
Lee Kuan Yew was a man of great value and a seeker into bright prosperous future
Lee Kuan Yew was indeed a "grandmaster" of get things done. But did he do the RIGHT things? His metrics were annual GDP growth and "concrete on the ground", i.e., infrastructure. These are the wrong metrics. Singaporeans are the ONLY asset of Singapore. Singaporeans ARE Singapore. The correct measure is the QUALITY OF LIFE of Singaporeans (as measured by real wages, productivity, work quality and standard of living). Singapore is NOT First World using the quality of life metrics. "What gets measured get managed." The grandmaster did NOT measure the right things. The rest is history. If Singapore is a REAL democracy (with basic freedoms, free press, openness and transparency in Government making elections free and fair) it would have a COMPETITIVE political system with the right economic metrics. Democracy is a "messy system" but all the others tried before turned out worse. Competition is always good even in politics. The best ideas are implemented and there is a mechanism for orderly change of government. What countries need is not a "grandmaster" but a "grand political system" called democracy with an effective education system. BTW Lee Kuan Yew limited to a small minority (around 20%) the number of young Singaporeans that can go to universities in Singapore despite steadily increasing reserves and perennial budget surpluses. Uniquely Singapore. Singapore has massive reserves but it cannot buy time. Lee Kuan Yew is gone and he is not coming back. RIP. Time for Singaporeans to move on and. They should QUESTIONS EVERYTHING (ask "hard questions" and demand answers) and make changes, if necessary, to have a better quality of life. What do you think?
You mean CONmaster???
Peter qui you insulted millions Singaporeans whose life were made good by MR LEE KUAN YEW. let me call you are a bastard, an idiot and nuisance to society. Go to hell if you don’t like this world
Peter Qiu ... Lee Kuan Yew turned Singapore from third world to first world. CAN YOU DO BETTER? If you can, go ahead. If you can't, step aside and keep quiet.
@@ftd7435 Is Singapore is not First World in terms of real wages, productivity, work quality and standard of living. It has First World per capita GDP, infrastructure and COST OF LIVING with stagnant wages and over-priced public housing. Do you agree?
What did he con u from or what makes u feel he is a con man pls emphasis on ur comment dun just comment without justification. Lol seems weak
Grandmaster??? you mean CONmaster???
Peter Q ... who is the same as Peter Qiu : Can you do better than him? Talk is cheap, sometimes free but if you can't do better than him, step aside and shut up.
Dont con us, name your achievements. Has any top leaders lining up to have a meeting and get your views. Loser always are very judgemental and angry. Did you collect your 50sens on your way out😆
