- What is MM Lee like as a father? Does he believe in fengshui? What was the darkest period in his life? MM Lee gamely answered all personal questions The Straits Times team put to him.Click here for more information or to buy the book.
lets take a pause and acknowledge that the ball is now in our court. he has given us a platform no other country can replicate.
Other countries can’t replicate because the system only works for a country that is small and bodes well with the Asian psyche. What works for one country won’t necessarily work for the other.
@@jonathanroberts9076 "What works for one country won’t necessarily work for the other." I sincerely hope the zealous "preachers" from the west, especially people from the US, can understand this basic fact.
@Jorge De Guzman Based on what? Maybe it's you that is rubbish
@@jonathanroberts9076 is it possible to have a really big city state?
Didn’t China replicate on a scale of 1000:1? Pretty sure LKY helped them as well.
Still give me chills after so many years since he passed away on his wisdom and determination. What a great man we had in Singapore.
Devastatingly Intelligent? This man is a genius... I doubt there will be same leader like him in near future. He is focus and work for his entire life.
A hero is someone who gives everything he got and doesn't ask for anything in return.
He fits the definition perfectly.
I’m a foreigner living in Singapore. I have nothing but appreciation for LKY and what he had achieved. He was a one of a kind person who had the drive, ambition and intelligence to dream the impossible and make it reality.
Every Singaporean should be immensely proud of their beautiful nation and culture. May LKYs wise words forever enlighten Singapore and the rest of the world.
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my I’m not sure what you mean by that
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my define genetically strong then maybe I can answer your question.
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my I consider intelligence to be a strong genetic trait. You are by far the weakest genetically I have ever met under this definition. I mean you can’t even construct a coherent sentence.
@@TRUTHEXPRESS-qc6my I don’t think any intelligence person can understand your dumbass. Singapore is ranked amongst the lowest in corruption index worldwide, you ignorant moron.

=> my life

A GREAT MAN,COMES ONLY ONCE IN A CENTURY >>>XI.IS THE NEW 22 CENTURY LKY !!
TRUE.DO NOT EXPECT ,CHILDREN WILL BE WHATEVER YOU WISH !!FUNK CHUY IS RABISH ..TRUE !
I admire MM Lee for his passion and love to his country...he is a contemporary with our then president Ferdinand e. Marcos both possess with a firm belief of the success of their respective countries... Singapore succeed the Philippines failed...my generation big regrets... I hope my people wake up from slumber and learn from history...that sometimes make a dream come true...LET THE PHILIPPINES RISE AGAIN....😊😊😊😊😊
Mr LKY .. a man of honour .. a man of greatness. You will live in our hearts forever.
Live in your heart,but not "our" heart. What do you mean by"our"? Please dont represent for others' heart. You dont have the right to.

Deep respect for him, from India.

Fr they have to respect his will no matter how difficult it is to accept
Mark Lee's Eyebrows ayeeee 2020 gangGgg
I know...
Why didn't he demolished and rebuilt the house if he predicted the outcome?
Man of vision and wisdom. He really did what was best for Singapore and Singaporeans. Miss him very much
The best for singapore only, correction needed
@@jamilm4668 only weak ppl like u believe in fengshui
@@LTG1985 sore loser spotted
N Mahathir has done the worst for Malaysia n Malaysians
A very strong closing statement.
Many of us does not realize that to be a great leader, is to be the greatest "servant" of our purpose.
LKY has dedicated his life to achieve his goal, building a succesful nation. Truly a great examplary of a true leader.
Fengshui once rooted in practicality and ergonomics, was unfortunately mythologicalized by Chinese ancestors in order not to be bothered to explain the real reasons behind a certain Fengshui concepts.
"Just leave them alone"
why most leader have difficulty to understand this concept?
Because it's useful to get people angry and supporting them
very nice , open interview. thanks for posting ! So sad the last part....'What have I given up ? My life!'' yes he did. hopefully we remember that !
I cannot see him from a perspective of a normal politician. In my heart, this is the real model of what people call a great man.
@4:00 It seems pretty unequivocal to me that he wanted Oxley to be demolished after his death. The current family squabble amongst his children is frankly petty and embarrassing for Singapore.
If he wanted it to be binding, he could have done so. He was, after all, a politician; he understood the occasional necessity of appearances, and the necessity for sentimentality to give way to realism.
I'm a Singaporean PM Lee is a Legend RIP Sir💞💞🙏😢😢😭
l am deeply grateful for what he had contributed and sacrificed for our country. He was the greatest politician and most sincere and honest and successful politician.
Aww "if they're born that way, just leave them alone" :')
yea that I noticed as well! No wonder Singapore thrived so much under his leadership. And even tho Gay marriage in SIngapore is not legal, nobody bothers the homosexuals either in Singapore. There is no state persecution or harassments either! This country was bound to succeed!
That is heartwarming to hear
To be frank. A lot of the problems that homosexuals are facing in Singapore are family issues. And there is no way for others to intervene in that
One of his grandson is gay
Missing him a lots....Thank You Mr Lee ...You will always be in our heart...
Greetings, I am Commonly known as "Fazza" How are you doing today 💓
I am a Malaysian, I read all mr Lee’s autography…maybe I admire him so much, in June 2019, I seeing mr Lee in my dream, I hold his arm and walking slowly together, I asked can he written something on autography, and I asked him whether I need to inform his son where he now, mr Lee answer in simple english ( because my English not fluent even in dream)he wanted me don’t disturb his son ( because his son doing PM task).
Pls do not criticise me…I do not have bad intention , it just my dream 日有所思 夜有所梦
Well done, Sir. Thank you, Sir.
LKY.... I admire him since I was young and I'm not even a sporean. He is a legend. The results speak for itself. One might find a fault or two here and there. Come on, no one is perfect. He had done his best for his nation.
Respect to Late Mr Lee, from Berlin.
I`m getting to know LKY only now and i`m extremely impressed. Deep respect for him from Italy.
Woooow anche tu interessato a LKY?

I admire him a lot.
Greetings from Argentina.
He has stated it. The house be demolished!
He was such a great man. I miss him.
And because of my house, the neighbouring houses cannot build high. Demolish my house and change the planning rules go up and my land value will go up.
One Son sees the increase in value of retaining the house while the other sees the value of going up in demolishing it. At the end of the day, it is still the increased value of the house that matters.
Sometimes, the historical value of the property far outweighs the commercial value. Anything can be torn down, but it doesn't mean that it should be.
He is not soo much of an extremely intelligent person, but what makes him special is, that he has a very strong personality , a good value system, which is very uncommon for a person, he carries out what he believes, is a man of action and not only with words. He apparently has alot of courage. He stills lives in peoples heart. Such a blessful man. He is very honest, he gives realistic and short answers. It is not easy to upset this man, he has a very balanced personality. He is loyal and dedicated to Singapore. He loves the country. He stays on course, he is not using his charm or making silly jokes.

not an extremely intelligent? dude got double starred first class honors in law. what have you got?
he got no intelligence. his comment said it all.
@@ChrisLee-rf5is You must be an amoeba or some other kind of single celled organism if he has no intelligence

His two-child policy failed which resulted in importing FTs & their children to make up the difference in the population.
SG citizens have to fight with FTs for jobs.
Housing policy has caused SG citizens to pay for overpriced HDB flats.
Political manoeuvres of liberalised admissions of new citizenship, redrawing of territorial boundaries have resulted in single party dominance of government. SG citizens are left out.
Do these faults show he is extremely intelligent? Or rather he is doing everything to grip onto the power to enrich himself & his relations?
Think with an open-mind. You are free to keep to your opinions even if you disagree.
@@jeangian1781 I said extremely intelligent. I did not say faultless lol
Singaporean citizens are left out?
you mean the unskilled singaporean citizens. Whose fault is that? If you don't have the job market wants? whose fault is that? The government's? lol learn to take some responsibility for yourself.
Welcome to the new world where competition is not restricted to your own village or town lol
"redrawing of territorial boundaries have resulted in single party dominance of government"
Once again welcome to the new world if u have been paying attention to politics every ruling political party gerrymanders, from that of USA to malaysia. LOL and why shouldnt they?
There is no level playing field of any kind in politics
The sooner u come to that realization the better. It's not the business of the government to help the oppposition think of new creative ways to displace itself lol
His policies as a whole have brought more good than bad to the people of Singapore.
Think with an open mind u said rofl
and u only listed the bad
Power without knowledge is useless. Knowledge without wisdom is nothing and power without love is dangerous. As Indonesian studied there years ago, what made Lee successful was that he loved Singapore honestly. Its imo dangerous for a man to have that much power over a country. Lee's case is one in a millions.
He's a Leader...
Watched this interview several times and today I watched it again and felt so so so sad, heart broken and can't help but cried....coz our late Mr Lee loved his family and country the most...he would be so sad and heart broken to see his family torn apart in the recent Lee saga...which completely ruined the beautiful memories of what our beloved and late Mr Lee stands for....I hope his children will not let him down...the once upon a time great respect I had for the Lee family has been ruined...tormented... I hope Mr Lee's children stop fighting...live harmoniously and continue to lead by example...for other fellow Singaporeans who had so much trust and respect for your father...a great man
He will stay alive in every SINGAPOREN heart and mind forever. He has given a platform which no leader in the world has even given. Singapore was blessed in 60s to have such a visionary human being as their leader.He was the real father of the nation.
Deepak Sharma from Nigeria
To each path is their own choice.. It is Sad only to the ones that regret their own choices.. The ones that dies with a smile , did NOT regret the path they took.. It is your choice to live it or not.. All is in the hands of heaven except for the fear of heaven.... So as i am older , I would say live as you want and will.. It is not your family nor friends that you need to be accountable for. It is yourself.. They have hands and feet , they can do it on their own.. And at the end You are the one who will need to account with God..
robin chan most interesting remark 'worth fighting & worth dying...' needs an honest evaluation
True leader. Wish we have more like him today. Respect from India.
Ah, there used to be heroes like that.
I have to disagree with LKY about giving up his life for Singapore. He actually enriched and definitely made it meaningful & purpose of a life well spent. I wish i have such a life.
Frank and rational, but strong-willed and calculated. At times, with a sense of humour and the art of the words.
Thank you, MM Lee ! 😋 for a life time of service to building Singapore. Corruption free, green and beautifully clean Singapore. English language. 👍 👍 👍.
Mr Lee Kuan Yew is indeed the father of a nation. He lived for S'pore . And for big boys like America, UK & China to seek his opinions & advice says everything. ❤Mr LKY (R.I.P.)is the only politician i can trust.
Singapore is lucky to have such a wonderful founding father, just like US had president Washington...
washington was a slave owner... he's nowhere comparable to this legend
@@naveenjain1597 It's NOT right! But in that time slave owning was NOT illegal.
4 to 5 millions native American are lucky too?
@@naveenjain1597 do not judge historical figures to your moral standards.
@@daland4920 but the native americans had rights to those lands as well. It could have been better if they were just integrated and not killed off.
Feng Shui (wind water) is an allegory.
I agree, personally saw so called feng shui masters/mistress opened many shops in few countries, their own shops bankrupt!!!
They can't even save themselves
Very interesting and intelligent man
Rumours has it that a certain person had to consult his master before flying off anywhere 😊😊😊
Rumours are rumours.
There were rumours that $1 coins were designed a certain shape as well.
I am surprised that lky didn't believe in Feng shui. Why was the Feng shui $1 " pak kwa" coin came into circulation?
What a great man !... so much respect and love for him....
LKY WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE ONE WHO RAISED SINGAPORE TO WHAT IT IS TODAY
Wrong person lah! It was GOH KENG SWEE, an economist by profession with a PhD to be honoured for his farsightedness in the economic planning of SG's success!
LKY was a lawyer by training, more involved in establishing foreign relations during the initial years of nation building. PLUS fixing his political opponents high-handedly with the manipulation of the LAW he was most well versed!
@@jeangian1781 singapore without good foreign relations. A good economy won't be able to sustain since we rely heavily on tourism and foreign talents. However, Goh Keng Swee is an economist not a visionary.
Missing him.. ='(
You will be remembered
Thank you Mr Lee! Singapore will forever be indebted to you. Thank you for making us who we are today.
His legacy lingers on & on...God bless his soul!
The most touching statement: What have I got, a successful Singapore, what have i given up? My life!
Christine Ng
Far J Ya, millions! Far more than the most powerful president of the world!
Does anyone owe him anything? Obviously not! Millions have been paid for his job on a little red dot!
Singapore's Southeast Asian neighbours were also paid millions (through corruption and embezzlement of state funds) but you don't see Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam or Malaysia being an economic powerhouse. These countries were also blessed with natural resources and outstanding human capital. When civil servants, especially country administrators, aren't paid well, there will be a tendency for corruption. Corruption and bribery will bring a country to its knees.
Kern Yih Bong Exactly! He legalised his corruption and received the millions OPENLY!
Who CAN, WILL dispute when MILLIONS are LAWFULLY pocketed? NONE!
Unlike the rest, they are not entitled to the millions, so they stole in one way or another!
All are the SAME! SHAMELESS!
The man said it himself, "Demolish the house!". So what are we missing here?
Salute to a great leader and visionary
One of the Great Men the World has produced.
How sure? Take a look at his children and think about it!
what a leader and human being respect from nepal
MM LEE did said to demolish the house.
Lee Kwan Yew is one of the world great leaders, probably the greatest among the greats. The world needs more leaders like him.
A great gentleman!
In a world of 8 billion there ARE other great leaders like this great human....
Respect!
Very correct sir
One word no MR LKY. no Singapore today... good life and harmony for humankind
Love u sir
Well,you are right most of the time.
Lee Kuan Yue , My Favourite Dictator… Did many Bad Things to my Family… Not Only did Your Plans Fail miserably But look what happened To Your Own … Not 1 of Your Trusted Generals even Dare come to your Reckless Kids Rescue. We can only Forgive You , We Cannot Forget. RIP Buddy, KARMA rdy ay Work ❤
A visionary leader a firm believer with his path,
I don't really want the house demolish, but I feel so sad the old man make it so clear he want it gone, you've to go for it.
Damn, this man makes a lot of sense, especially in this day and age. Despite his age, he had a lot of progressive ideas. Watching earlier footage, he spoke a lot about the future of Singapore and how it would prosper with it's economy, education, technology. He seems to concentrate on the finer details of running a tight ship. But, in a good way.
As they say, get the little things right first, everything else will take care of itself.
I believe that heroes creat history, not people who creat history. I was told in an opposite way when I was a child. I changed my mind because of Lee.
Rip God bless you
Lovely person,strong and great leader really big miss .
Nothing great lky just a matter of choice...... the rest is history.
even some of the worst butchers in history were tender too the extension of themselves they called family, it is how we treat the poor the disabled the sick, (which includes drug addicts) how we treat those that hate us, those we see as beneath us and how we treat animals and this planet that reveals a persons true character
#blessLKY
excellent
The Oxley house must be demolished at all cost!
Lee Hsien Loong want to create an legacy for LKY's image for the world to remember by not demolishing the house.
I fullyagree with you.
no. it's a historic house.
Love Singapore... LKY 👍👍👍
Feng shui in his residence must be bad, all his children ignore each other
No Mr Lee KY & his team, no rich Singapore today. His was a great leader in this century.
Many rich old timers were reduced in their wealth and their descendants are suffering for LKY's gain of his personal wealth! Please check it up. Simei, Yishun, Angullia Park .......
Low Tia Kiang mentioned: "It was on the sacrifice of the people of Singapore that the modern Singapore is built on!"
Let's not forget the goodness of the Singaporeans who sacrificed their personal wealth for the sake of the nation.
and you? if youre not singaporean you wont understand . if you are youre one of those who benefited. just look around...schools, running water, education , roads, food, children who can go to kindergarten, supermarkets with food galore and much more...clean air , good efficient transport, peace and free from the likes suffered by our neigbb ouring countries and even a job you have you need to thank the old govt for. YOu dont understand ...all those born in the 80s on wards had it easy.
I think the numerous Singaporeans who sacrificed for the sake of the nation are the ones to be honoured, NOT LKY & KGC alone!
GKS, TCC, LKS were the great minds behind the success of SG nation building program. One man and his wife cannot be the only credit to the achievements of SG! Mind you, LKY & KGC were lawyers who knew how to manipulate the law, not economics! They consulted economists, bankers, engineers for building the hard and organic infrastructures. Who pays for all these?
Please do not be misled, neither mislead the younger generation of the success of SG!
Operation Coldstore 1963, Marxism Conspiracy 1987 and the British declassified have clearly shown proofs of a demeaning and unscrupulous LKY. Why aren't you convinced?
The victims were wrongfully detained and exiled under ISA. Lim Chin Siong, Fang Shaung Shui, Lim Hock Siew, Chia Thye Poh, Vincent Cheng, Teo Soh Lung and many others....Their innocence could never be restituted by the dictator!
The massive development funds, lawyer fees, land acquisition costs have gone into the coffers as well as LKY's pockets.
Do we owe him anything? His offsprings are enjoying his wealth now. So, do I have to feel indebted to LKY & KGC alone? Definitely not!
With contribution from good and dedicated fellow Sporeans as leaders, SG can prosper to even greater heights! Why must it be PAP only?
Opposition members also have intelligent & good people from whom the SG people can count on.
He probably doesn't even believe in Santa Claus either!

shall put Lee kuan yew on nation status
Every house in the world the sibling and in-law sure have problem, name any perfect family no problem I give what I have to that family.
But there is no denial that there is a saying of 现实报。instant karma or unseen karma where it affects family members, illness and next generation. We must always believe that there is such things unseen unknown and not yet come crisis.
His words "It is better to be feared than to be loved"...so why love?
Incredible.
Agree with late LKY.
What a pity ! Father-tygre Lee Kuan Yew born son- dog Lee Hsien Loong .The Father made the enemy into friend ,but the son make friend into enemy .
Are you coming up from your grave anytime soon, Mr LKY ?....your country is rotting away without you....................
Nation builder par excellence. SALUTE
Love you
His Children are all squabbling with each other..........They are certainly not like LKY or his wife , because both of value their Siblings relating till their alive.....
I cannot find another leader who are as loving as Mr LKY
Loving???? he is PURE EVIL...Name me a loving leader who betray his country to the enemy...a coward who runs when heroes fight for their country...and MURDER his country's UNBORN through LeeGal ABORTION to the tune of 500,000 babies PERIOD
Spanish Jo You must be joking! Many patriotic Singaporeans stay out of politics because of his ruthlessness in handling his political opponents. He has always been feared because of his underhanded ways in dealing with them! Loving? Never came across my mind!
if he didnt control population in those days, we would be no better than our overpopulated neighboruing countries.. many poor, living in slums or living from hand to mouth. he wanted better for us.
jessie james if he didnt control population then Singapore would not need to import so many "foreign talents"
jessie james Please wake up! Before LKY came into power, was there a population problem? Was there any difficulty in raising a family?
The population increased due to post war conditions. British army and industries pulled out of SG due to its independence! Who to blame?
Why aging population problem now？Not enough babies produced in the 70s & 80s to replace the post war baby boom!
Get your facts and history right, please! Stop worshipping LKY like God! He is evil!
Life does not work that way. You need to work hard and earn it, then it pays off.
Great man...
