Lol he assumes that people want to commit the crimes he has listed as crimes, which can be largely correct. He assumes the worst in people. That’s what strict people do and it often has the opposite impact of what they want to achieve because no one accepts being controlled. If it hasn’t backfired it’s because he’s not as strict as you think or because he has given certain important freedoms to people. Unlike most south asian or Middle Eastern countries/leaders who often have strict leaders but lack GDP growth, discipline and are often corrupt.
some strict qualities lee kwan yew did obtain from mao zedong causealthough he say he don't support communist but his one party rule completely reflect to communist party law policy😀😀😀
@@michigan12362how much u know about communism? Communist no civilians r ALLOWED TO ELECT THEIR GOVERNMENT, for Singaporeans we elect n voted him in every year.... The laws are reasoned n put in place when majority general public agrees .... we all, Singaporeans, recognised the social responsibility in individuals tat makes a better place for us to live in
The fact that he was hell bent on not having any statues, monuments or streets named after him is truly commendable. He lets the people of Singapore speak for him. We are his legacy.
Thats honestly smart asf. If you are a true Leader, you dont need monuments. Or statues. Memory. They will remember what he has done for singapore. And sing his praises to there kids and there kids and so on
Lee Kuan Yew always hated communists for their personality cult because it is just useless and morbid. He also had least ego seeking any fame and honor because he was a pragmatist who only cares about getting jobs done. Singapore needs no memorials personally about him because he himself is already Singapore itself and his legacy lives on as long as Singapore goes on, same as back when he was alive.
He's the only politician speaks without using a script... Everything is in his mind and he speaks from his heart... No one in our parliament can be like him now....
The greatest leader and statesman of the modern era. The wisdom, charisma, gut and unwavering visionary leadership from this great man is unmatched. It makes Australian politicians look like kindergarten babies, I am from Australia.
‘Anyone who takes this job must have the iron in him, or else give it up! This is not a game of cards, its your lives and mine!’ The passion and determination and iron will! Unmistakeable
Lim tean also don't need script to speak to be fair,you see his speech at the past election on tv whole 10minutws he speak without a script and also spoke firmly too😂😂😂.
I am not Singaporean or Malaysian, nor a Malay, Chinese or an Indian for that matter, but Mr. Lee Kuan Yew's resilience and the belief in his people, and Singaporean's belief in Singapore makes me tear up every time I hear him speak. The commitment, honesty and his will is undeniable, the fire in his heart unmistakable and passion to succeed resolute.
@@avalancheace I think the deeper point here is how he managed to make such friends, ultimately it boils down his competency and reputation as a successful and wise statesman that attracted fellow great people to want to seek him out.
As a Singaporean in his 50s, I am indebted to his leadership in our nation-building years. I’ve lived long enough to see the complete transformation of this island nation into a ‘metropolis’ (quoting Mr Lee’s own words). Words cannot describe how thankful we are to him and his self-sacrificing team. May our new generation remember this - that our country is just a small island not endowed with any natural resource and the only resource we have is our people. Lest we slip into complacency and fail to sustain the high standards set by our predecessors, we must continue to uphold the grit and drive of our pioneers.
sadly his son has sold SG to the U$A, and in turn SG has now become a U$ vassal, simply because it fears other muslim states instead of fostering asian values and unity. LHL chose to trust Amarikans LOL. LHL has broken the long held neutrality status of SG and is now openly hostile to RF and instead has formed ally with Japan, the aggressor regime that has "rape and pillaged" the whole of SEA it seems LHL has forgotten his history. He should have interviewed native amarikans when forming deadly relationship with Amarikans and the British.
As a 63 years old citizen, all are true. The hardships that we faced its incredible but we went thru it all till what we are today. I seconded and attested to what you've said. ✋
Totally agree. In my opinion, it is true that we need the foreign people working here to be sustainable and competitive but on the flipside, there seems to be tilting off the balance where people are getting more complacency by relying on them for easy way out. Looking at the transformations of new generations, I feel that more and more people have lesser resilience towards a lot of things.
I’m a mainland Chinese. And for god’s sake I wish we have someone like him in the past decades. He’s not just the star of Singapore, he’s the jewel of all Chinese
@@aaronmontgomery2055Behave better. He made a good comment. We all would like a leader like Lee. He was a unique human being and I am proud of his work and about the progress Singapore has made as a nation. Sweden, where I live, would also need someone like him. In fact all the nations would be better if the leadership was 10% of Lee.
@@mahamedabdi4616 Behave better? It is my nation's culture and ethos to bash the Chinese government and its leaders at every opportunity with facts. I said nothing of him but of his leaders from Mao to current. I am behaving perfectly within norms.
@@aaronmontgomery2055 You are acting in an arrogant manner. He said that he wanted a leader like Lee. Which is indicative of saying the same thing as you. The difference between you is that he lives in a place where everyone is under supervision online by different agencies and programs. If everyone was like him. China would become a democracy fast and stop harassing their neighbors. You should give him encouragement and encouragement. What he is saying is that he would want his leaders to be more like Lee. Do you think that Lee would support your comments? No. You seem to be more proud of Lee than Lee was about himself.
Well Deng Xiao Ping was a great leader. I don't think he was any less than Father Lee - both whom are unafraid to review, and rebuild systems that are not working.
I remembered LKY cried in front of the TV. I was watching and wondering why he cries. I was a little boy of 10! I like to thank him for giving me the opportunity to grow in a safe peaceful and economic vibrant country so that I too can contribute positively to Singapore and able to raise a happy family! Thanks Mr. Lee.
It seems everyone wants a leader like Lee Kuan Yew for their own country. Authenticity overflowed from his every word. In a time where two faced politicians were the norm, listening to him was refreshing.
"-those who pursue that rainbow will have a joyous and exhilarating ride and some profit." He wasn't just about inspirational words. He understood that we all NEED money and prosperity. He gave that to Singapore. Truly an enlightened ruler.
The Very best clean hands of LKY made the very best Singapore in this world a better place for the country's flora/fauna/humans to say proudly Singaporean and the people those from other parts of this world who are living here and say proudly am in Singapore ❤❤❤❤❤❤
As an Indian , I tell my children … if u want to learn about leadership and vision , learn it from LKY … a man with vision , strength and determination ❤
I envy Singaporeans for having a leader like him. For him, it was Singapore first! He used his position not for personal gain but for the country and his people. I am a fan from the Philippines.
Thank You Prime Minister for giving a wonderful life in Singapore. You educated me gave a good teaching job and helped me to raise to raise a family in this wonderful country , Singapore. All this did not happen by chance but by hard work , sheer determination and will to stand out as an outstanding country in this region and the world stage. Long Live the Legacy of PM Lee and Singapore in ages to come.
The greatest leader and statesman of the modern era. The wisdom, charisma, gut and unwavering visionary leadership from this great man is unmatched. It makes Australian politicians look like kindergarten babies, I am from Australia.❤
LKY was a visionary. LHL is an idiot. LKY brought Singapore from 3rd world to first world economic status. LHL is holding Singapore back with economic stagnation. LKY served the interest of Singaporeans. LHL makes Singaporeans serve him. When LKY passed away, millions of Singaporeans lined the streets to send him off. When LHL passes away, millions of Singaporeans will turn their back against his coffin. Present day PAP is not like when it was founded by LKY. Do not trust PAP. Do not vote PAP.
One of LKY’s greatest fears for Singapore was the complacency of the people - when people assume that Singapore’s battle for survival is assured, and that they can slacken on the pursuit of good governance. LKY was right. I am often astonished by how so many Singaporeans are constantly and unreasonably dissatisfied with their lives in SG. If one were to survey all the governments that exist throughout the world (past and present), one must admit - when it comes to good governance, it doesn’t get much better than PAP. Many Singaporeans seem to think that European countries or Australia are good examples for Singapore to follow. Remember that unlike these countries, Singapore has no resources, has a tiny population, tiny geography, a perilous neighbourhood. What works for such greatly advantaged countries cannot be blindly assumed to work for SG. On the contrary, many of these countries want to learn from SG (in other words, learn from PAP). Singaporeans need to realise that the good path (not necessarily the new path) is the way to their prosperity. Don’t spill the cup that you have inherited from LKY.

I often think that. But the newer generation had it all good. I am s retiree having gone through the 60s, 70s till now. Went through the worse and best of times. We treasure Mr Lees governing style.
@@PleaseGetReal this was a chinese country. Thats how the chinese mentality is. Work, work, work. We had to. ! On national day speeches i remember. He always began with’we have done well, it was a good year, but we cannot be complacent. We have to work harder! Never fails. 👍
Respect from a country that made every mistake imaginable and still does . ruining what was once paradise . We can only dream of having leaders like this.
We will not get another LKY. He is the best leader in the world. Without him. Singapore will not be good today. I missed him. I thanked him for giving good educations for my childerns. I respected him as a father of Singapore. Without him we will not have better life today.
SIngapore cannot afford another LKY ! He was from the past where there was no Internet ! Today if he had done the same thing, there will be an outcry !
@@PleaseGetRealbecause people like you like thinking small. 😂 Leadership like LKW’s is desperately needed by this fallen world today. You just don’t have the vision to see it.
I'm a US citizen, worked & lived in Singapore for few months in 2015, the year Mr. LKY passed away. I read all his memoirs & watched most his videos on YT. His wisdom not only guided a nation, but also as individual, we all can be inspired & enlightened by his wisdom & realistic approach way of living & seeing things, especially in today's WOKE & messy world. God bless Singapore, I'm gonna move back to the best city in the world sooner or later. Singaporean youths should keep a clear mind & really cherish what they have now, compared to what's going on in USA & EU nowadays.
racist Muslims Malays kicked the Chinese Singaporeans outta Malaysia in 1965, is one of the most plot twisting irony in the human history. So fortunate to have the right person Mr. LKY & his team, at that right time & right place in history to lead the city state... Look at Malaysia now, vs Singapore... Like Mr. LKY said, time would prove it, no need to argue in ideologies.
It’s only the politicians of the west and east spend the energies to resolve the domestic issues with an unwavering focus to keep improving their own countries instead of quibbling over South China Sea, inventing false narratives against each other and ganging up like gangsters in NATO, AUKUS, 5 EYES & QUAD and using dirty tricks like sanctions, tariffs and technology bans just to slow a country’s progress and passing that as justified actions again an invented enemy. The world is messy because of politicians plotting the downfall of others. They have much to learn from LYK indeed !
That's because the British flooded Malaya with tens of thousands of Chinese refugees in the late 1800's and early 1900's so that they can work on rubber plantations for rubber/latex industry which is needed for automotive/airplane engines WITHOUT rubber engines won't work etc, this influx of Chinese who are hostile to non Chinese Lee boasted before the split that "Chinese will run Malaya" slapping them in their faces almost, the British purposely changed the demographics to suit their industrial needs with any regards to the native Malay pop. many Chinese later became Communist guerillas killing Malays. you should read a book lady... @@kl12345-u
@@michaelsamuel9917 I honestly do not believe Mr. LKY would be that stupid to challenge the Malay rulers in their faces by saying "Chinese will run Malaya" in a country that's ethically never dominated by the Chinese in history. Also, he went to Cambridge with the Tunku. They're good friends! I'm not sure where you read about that story. If you can provide me with the resource of where you read that, that'll be most appreciated. It's just something a smart person won't do, you have to use your common sense & judgement when you read & think if it's logical & practical. Because lots of things are not true even from large media like CNN & WSJ. You should know better than this nowadays. Let me help you think a bit since you lack the logical deep thinking ability: 1. What benefit would it bring to Mr. LKY & Singapore by making such a provocation at that time before the split? 2. The Chinese communist party existed before Singapore joined Malay, if you read Mr. LKY's memoirs, you'd know the communist were against this union. Mr. LKY joined in order to stop communism from spreading in Singapore. It's a fact that the communists were killing Malays, even in Singapore, but it does not erase that fact of Malay top rulers started the 1964 & 1969 riots of purging non Communist local Chinese in Singapore & KL? Do you know that part of history? Those were civilians, average commoners like people you & me, not Communist guerilla fighters in the jungles... So please tell me your reasoning process. It's not that I don't read books, I'm well read in history & non fiction. Your demeaning attitude & lack of common sense of boosting the Malay local protectionism & racism against other minority policy is most disgusting & biased. I think you are the one that should read Mr. LKY's books to clear up your mind & views of the world in order to gain a more subjective understanding of the world history. You can NOT blame the Brits for playing amongst different races to achieve the max result for its Empire's benefit during colonial ages. That's not an excuse or reason for Malay top rulers to act racial discrimination & purge of the Chinese population at that time. After all, it's a smart strategy implemented by the Brits around the world, look at the middle east & africa, similar patterns, which still causing conflicts & wars lasting till this day. This strategy is called "帝王之术" by the ancient Chinese, "The Way to Rule of the Emperor", using the conflicts amongst the lower classes to firmly grasp concentrated power by the top, which Mao played to perfection & killed 40 millions of his own people so that he could be emperor for decades, no one dared to challenged him. How many non-Communist Chinese died under this strategy & racial riots/purge played by the Malay royal ruling class? Do you have the #s? Feel free to check Wiki, I did. Chinese death in hundreds but Malays death only in handful, because the police were ordered by the gov't not to help/protect the minority Chinese, it's an act of encouraging killing its own citizen... You see the big picture now?
If not for our founding father LKY, we Singaporeans wont be here today. My parent's gen, my gen, our many gens ahead are eternally grateful to him. We are blessed to have him. He will be remembered endearing by us Singaporeans who are extremely proud to have him and to share him with the World who experienced his brilliance.
I’m an expat in SG. Sure, Singapore might seem boring and stressful to some, but it’s all about perspective, mate. If you’re earning well here, why not enjoy the city life instead of worrying about every cent? Crossing the border to/from Malaysia, you feel the difference instantly. Kudos to LKY 🫡. Truly thankful to the SG government and its people for the opportunity to work in their world 🫡🫡
As a Malaysian, tears drop for a few moment throughout watching this gem.. We love you Singapore. Deeply believe current Malaysia PMX Anwar Ibrahim learned a lot from Singapore LKY. We are together for the next generation. ❤
A genuine statesman, having all the qualifications of a real leader and no one since. Being a Filipino, I wish we had a committed politician in our country but we have gone deeper into the rabbit hope. You Singaporeans are very lucky to have had a leader like LKY
The greatest leader and statesman of the modern era. The wisdom, charisma, gut and unwavering visionary leadership from this great man is unmatched. It makes Australian politicians look like kindergarten babies, I am from Australia.❤
@deschan2246 And you and your likes are just parasites feeding on the system he and his team of capable entourage created. What have you and your parasites equal contributed to Singapore other than loads of unsubstantiated criticism? Why aren't you and your likes challenged him publicly when he was still alive? Because you guys wouldn't dare and most of all you guys are just duds and a bunch of hypocritical cowards.
Born in 1979, I grew up in Singapore often thinking of the greener grass in the West or Australia, and resenting the authoritarian ring of the PAP and LKY in my rebellious youth. In my 30s, finally a grown up with a mortgage and kid, a good job (representing Singapore) and residing overseas, I began to consolidate my experiences, the country's historical legacy, its economic challenges, and sociopolitical trajectory. And I realised how absolutely vital LKY had been and how great leadership -- in an entire government -- is the indispensable rock of any nation. My son is growing up in Europe, and will never know the legacy of his birth country and how it stands in stark contrast to the malaise and chaos currently besetting the continent. I'm now 45, and I have transformed my beliefs and identity too (as LKY mentioned in his 80th birthday speech in the video). I have a better understanding of Singapore's and my place in the world, and I'm glad that I am now giving back to my birth country in a small way. My only hope is that my son will one day realise how lucky he was to have been a Singaporean and to have ties -- no matter how weak -- to this fascinating and remarkable nation.
Isn't ironic that we all learn to appreciate SG when we live overseas? I suppose life overseas put things in context and make us understand why things are done the way they are in SG.
@wonvivien21 : Well said 👏👏🤝. I'm a Malaysian by birth, with relatives in Singapore during LKY's early years. In those days, my family and I felt that Singapore was very much a part of our heritage. I'm grateful to the Tengku that he did not build a physical wall across southern Johore! The contrast as we all know now in the development of both countries was at polar opposites. Great vision for successful self government on the one hand, and the gotoroyong approach including extensive corruption and racial discrimination on the Malaysian side. My parents sent me and my younger sibling overseas to further our education, partly as a plan to obtain permanent residency in those countries and it worked! Now in my twilight years I feel a strong pull to return to my childhood experiences in Melaka and Singapore. We shall see how that pans out. All the best to you and your fellow Singaporeans, with a gentle nudge from a Melaka baba to also enjoy life while you can.
Juxtaposing the tears shed in 1965 during Singapore’s separation, with the tears shed in 2003 when reciting the pledge at his 80th birthday celebrations, is such a poetic tug at the heartstrings. A must watch!
@@jessiejames7492it's a folly how you took things on surface value and in all literal sense. If words can't get into you, even Jesus can't help you when he speaks in parables. What a fool you are 😂
Why waste time on losers? Just focus on the positive and people who work hard and believe in meritocracy. Everything is earned, not given. Every Singaporean is given the equal pjatform regardless of your race or religion to begin with, where and what you would develop into is a matter of how much an individual had put in to make it count. That's how Singapore survived all these while. Thank god we had more positive achievers of all woks of life than losers.
Watching this with tears dripping endlessly throughout. So proud of LKY and his ways guiding / building up our nation. He is definitely irreplaceable. I LOVE Singapore ❤❤
The greatest leader and statesman of the modern era. The wisdom, charisma, gut and unwavering visionary leadership from this great man is unmatched. It makes Australian politicians look like kindergarten babies, I am from Australia.❤❤
I always watch this documentary video of his speech which inspires people to believe that they can do great things if they want to succeed in life no matter how much obstacles or challenges in life, nothing is impossible.
I'm so grateful for LKW for giving me the opportunities to come and study in Singapore with full scholarship 10+yrs ago, work and married, now with 2 kids settled down here. I thank the gov took care of us, giving us the best education we could have, the environment the opportunities. I truely felt home here than my originals. I always feel that if one day the country need me in any circumstances like war, i'm willing to fight and die for this country because i appreciate LKY and Singapore so much and willing to unite with this country i called home
What's amazing is he literally spent his whole life building up Singapore. Yes, whole life! Watching his past rally/speech videos from black hair with youthful looks to white hair and frail health, it pains me beyond words. The way he envisioned Singapore back in the 1960s, it is as though he can foresee what we will become today. He saw the future, be it successes or failures. Its really amazing what 1 man can achieve not just on a national but an international level with the highest respect given throughout the world. It meant he touched not just Singaporean's heart but almost the entire planet! He really sacrificed his life in return for a successful Singapore. My utmost respect and salute to Mr. LKY. He will remain as Singapore's legendary figure for eternity.
Thank you for all you have done Mr Lee. I am currently in my 20s and did not truly understand how monumental he was when i was younger. For all the complaints my generation may have, I hope we realise how fortunate we have been to be born into a country so efficient and technocratic - a country our forefathers have so painstakingly built. I have lived overseas and while there are downsides to living here, I still love Singapore dearly.
@@thinkpadx60 I think we can be open minded and be honest on what he meant. We can recognize that overseas can offer things Singapore can't. I've also lived overseas for a few years, and I still think Singapore is the best on what I think is impt (safety etc). however, Singapore is also limited due to its small size, thru no fault of its own. some examples I prefer overseas are house choices, cars, scenery, pace of life to name a few. so it really depends on what you feel is more suited and impt to yourself. no right and wrong here.
back in the 80s i was a kid and i always saw my parents watching LKY on tv, i always asked.."who is this man" they always say.."your ah gong" ..miss u ah gong and RIP
Thank you Mr. Lee ❤forever grateful to you . I don’t think any world leader would have done something like you did. Founding fatherof Singapore.Legacy will remain.💐 couldn’t watch without shedding a tear.
Very true, Singapore is extremely lucky and fortunate to have him! Without him, I wouldn't have existed to be a Singaporean and the nation wouldn't be as great now
Mr Lee Kuan Yew was one of the founding fathers of Singapore and he achieved great things for the country. On the occasion of his 100th birthday, we commemorate his outstanding leadership and outstanding contributions. Mr. Lee Kuan Yew not only led Singapore out of poverty, but also built a modern country that became one of the most prosperous cities in the world. His perseverance, intelligence and determination played a key role in Singapore's success
Very grateful for singapore's founding father. He devoted his entire life to singapore. Deeply touched n forever grateful ! Very blessed n proud to be a singaporean. I pray that all singaporeans will continue to build n fiercely protect wat our founding father n team built with blood sweat n tears. Majullah Singapore !
The funeral of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew in 2015 attracted a large crowd of mourners, with estimates suggesting 0.5 million people visited the coffin to pay their respects and I was one of them. This was a testament to the immense respect and admiration that Ministor Mentor Lee was held in by the people of Singapore and beyond, as well as his legacy as a visionary leader who transformed the country into a modern, prosperous nation. We as Singaporeans are forever grateful to him and his team for what they have done for our country.
It is a wonderful thing to see a people who have stood firm against all these difficulties, hardships and the betrayal of some countries, and have established a clean, advanced, and racism-free country with economic pillars that are considered the best in the world... Yes, they are the outstanding people of Singapore.❤❤❤
10:00 This speech made me tear up. You could see the sheer determination and optimism Mr Lee had in his eyes. He knew it was a painful journey, he knew it would be long and arduous, but he never stopped believing in us. He had such high confidence and belief in all of us, and he never ever stopped working towards achieving greater heights, and it was because of his beliefs in us.
From a Northeast Indian Nepali with tears in my eyes ...wish thats the world too follows Lee Kuan Yew's ideals❤...I wish my country India too finds a Leader like you
If the world had more people like Lee Kuan Yew, then it would be a better world. I have had great respect for both Singaporeans, and the wonderful leadership of Lee Kuan Yew for a long time. This video reminds me of why I have so much respect for him. Love from Canada 🍁
I’m always proud to be a singaporean no matter what other people say! Thank you to all our former leaders who make our country from nothing to something today! We miss you our founding father MR LKY ❤
I'm an Indian and I believe Mr. Yew is the greatest leader in Asia if not the world to have ever lived. And he is an inspiration to us.Hope to see a prosperous Singapore and a healthy collaboration between our two nations.🇮🇳❤
we need more great leader like Mr Lee who for a politician still have integrity honesty and dedication. he will and will always be one of the great leaders of the world and I hope his son continue his legacy and dedication.
See how beautiful our great father of spore speak malay I respect him ever though he is a Chinese he got a malay heart but really sad when he's gone forever nobody can follow his step as a spore minister hope he rest in peace and god bless him forever he spirit were never gone still alive in our country majulah 🇸🇬 singapura long lives PAP
What a powerful man !! Singapore owns everything to LKY.. building Singapore in such a short time and making it so powerful is just because of his leadership..
Gone but never forgotten. Mr Lee Kuan Yew is Singapore, and Singapore is Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Singapore is blessed; Majulah Singapura❣🚩🏳 May the Blessings Be 🙏🧡💙
One thing that really stand out watching his speeches, is that he didn't gave, inspirational, historical speeches during his leadership, but he lead consistently. His speeches were always sharing a vision, motivating his people, calling them to service the nation. Stark difference from today's West leaders, who are more worried to say how great they are, the big things he's doing...
I watched some of Biden speeches.Stringing together a coherent sentence is difficult , K Harris speeches is a joke. A great leader, Mr LKY who moved mountain with his orator skill.
Thank you CNA for sharing this. He is the greatest leader and statesman of the modern era. The wisdom, charisma, gut and unwavering visionary leadership from this great man is unmatched. It makes Australian politicians look like kindergarten babies, I am from Australia.
LKY was a visionary. LHL is an idiot. LKY brought Singapore from 3rd world to first world economic status. LHL is holding Singapore back with economic stagnation. LKY served the interest of Singaporeans. LHL makes Singaporeans serve him. When LKY passed away, millions of Singaporeans lined the streets to send him off. When LHL passes away, millions of Singaporeans will turn their back against his coffin. Present day PAP is not like when it was founded by LKY. Do not trust PAP. Do not vote PAP.
Development comes with desire, good leadership, free from corruption, based on equality, and a vision of the future. It all reached Singapore. Congratulations.
Respect to the founder father Mr. Lee Kwan Yew !!! Watched this film on Netflix with whole family ❤ absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for this documentary ❤ proud to be part of this nation. Majulah Singapura!😊
Every third world country needs a man like Mr. Lee who truly care about their country and their people. It's just sad how citizens of third world countries suffer everyday without even basic needs while their rulers live in luxury. Hats off of to late Mr. Lee, a true gentlemen and human being who did great on his short journey on earth.
The late my prime ministers Mr lee kuan yue he talk fluently Malay language and his son also fluently speaking Malay as what I see among all prime ministers in spore and also the new prime minister he can't challenge these two legendary men I love them may he rest in peace and long live to his son majulah singapura
Im stay in Singapore, 5 year,so really love this country, if im learning in Indonesia about how to talking English,very exspensive , thanks for everything,❤❤
One of the greatest man that I have ever encountered in my entire lifetime. Many of us today owed our education, our livelihood, our lifestyle to just one man who started it all. Eternally grateful to THE FATHER OF THE NATION. Lee Kuan Yew is forever missed and loved by the people of Singapore !!
He is like a strict father… sometimes u might be hating him for been so fierce but sooner or later, u will be grateful to him for everything he did…

Lol he assumes that people want to commit the crimes he has listed as crimes, which can be largely correct. He assumes the worst in people. That’s what strict people do and it often has the opposite impact of what they want to achieve because no one accepts being controlled. If it hasn’t backfired it’s because he’s not as strict as you think or because he has given certain important freedoms to people. Unlike most south asian or Middle Eastern countries/leaders who often have strict leaders but lack GDP growth, discipline and are often corrupt.
sadly in this modern age people don't appreciate a strict father. they want fathers to be their pals.... Hence the break down in societies.

I am not Singaporean or Malaysian, nor a Malay, Chinese or an Indian for that matter, but Mr. Lee Kuan Yew's resilience and the belief in his people, and Singaporean's belief in Singapore makes me tear up every time I hear him speak. The commitment, honesty and his will is undeniable, the fire in his heart unmistakable and passion to succeed resolute.
also he had some powerful friends like kissinger (the mentor of klaus schwab)
He is our Ah Gong "Grand Father"
@@avalancheace I think the deeper point here is how he managed to make such friends, ultimately it boils down his competency and reputation as a successful and wise statesman that attracted fellow great people to want to seek him out.
@@nickraoyj i couldn't have put it in better words myself ! :)
@@mixedgameart123 we should make an anthem for him and sing it every morning
As a Singaporean in his 50s, I am indebted to his leadership in our nation-building years. I’ve lived long enough to see the complete transformation of this island nation into a ‘metropolis’ (quoting Mr Lee’s own words). Words cannot describe how thankful we are to him and his self-sacrificing team. May our new generation remember this - that our country is just a small island not endowed with any natural resource and the only resource we have is our people. Lest we slip into complacency and fail to sustain the high standards set by our predecessors, we must continue to uphold the grit and drive of our pioneers.
sadly his son has sold SG to the U$A, and in turn SG has now become a U$ vassal, simply because it fears other muslim states instead of fostering asian values and unity. LHL chose to trust Amarikans LOL. LHL has broken the long held neutrality status of SG and is now openly hostile to RF and instead has formed ally with Japan, the aggressor regime that has "rape and pillaged" the whole of SEA it seems LHL has forgotten his history. He should have interviewed native amarikans when forming deadly relationship with Amarikans and the British.
As a 63 years old citizen, all are true. The hardships that we faced its incredible but we went thru it all till what we are today. I seconded and attested to what you've said. ✋
He single handedly destory Malaysia.
Very very well said.
Totally agree. In my opinion, it is true that we need the foreign people working here to be sustainable and competitive but on the flipside, there seems to be tilting off the balance where people are getting more complacency by relying on them for easy way out.
Looking at the transformations of new generations, I feel that more and more people have lesser resilience towards a lot of things.
I’m a mainland Chinese. And for god’s sake I wish we have someone like him in the past decades. He’s not just the star of Singapore, he’s the jewel of all Chinese
Well you got leaders who are his opposite who want statues and personal gain.
@@aaronmontgomery2055Behave better. He made a good comment. We all would like a leader like Lee. He was a unique human being and I am proud of his work and about the progress Singapore has made as a nation.
Sweden, where I live, would also need someone like him. In fact all the nations would be better if the leadership was 10% of Lee.
@@mahamedabdi4616 Behave better? It is my nation's culture and ethos to bash the Chinese government and its leaders at every opportunity with facts. I said nothing of him but of his leaders from Mao to current.
I am behaving perfectly within norms.
@@aaronmontgomery2055 You are acting in an arrogant manner. He said that he wanted a leader like Lee. Which is indicative of saying the same thing as you. The difference between you is that he lives in a place where everyone is under supervision online by different agencies and programs.
If everyone was like him. China would become a democracy fast and stop harassing their neighbors. You should give him encouragement and encouragement.
What he is saying is that he would want his leaders to be more like Lee. Do you think that Lee would support your comments? No. You seem to be more proud of Lee than Lee was about himself.
Well Deng Xiao Ping was a great leader. I don't think he was any less than Father Lee - both whom are unafraid to review, and rebuild systems that are not working.
I remembered LKY cried in front of the TV. I was watching and wondering why he cries. I was a little boy of 10! I like to thank him for giving me the opportunity to grow in a safe peaceful and economic vibrant country so that I too can contribute positively to Singapore and able to raise a happy family! Thanks Mr. Lee.
I remember as well so many others PAP minster cries on live tv.
It seems everyone wants a leader like Lee Kuan Yew for their own country. Authenticity overflowed from his every word. In a time where two faced politicians were the norm, listening to him was refreshing.
"-those who pursue that rainbow will have a joyous and exhilarating ride and some profit."
He wasn't just about inspirational words. He understood that we all NEED money and prosperity. He gave that to Singapore. Truly an enlightened ruler.
The Very best clean hands of LKY made the very best Singapore in this world a better place for the country's flora/fauna/humans to say proudly Singaporean and the people those from other parts of this world who are living here and say proudly am in Singapore ❤❤❤❤❤❤
As an Indian , I tell my children … if u want to learn about leadership and vision , learn it from LKY … a man with vision , strength and determination ❤
You can learn from Shanmugam. He is not bad too.
@@youtubet3e416😂
I envy Singaporeans for having a leader like him. For him, it was Singapore first! He used his position not for personal gain but for the country and his people.
I am a fan from the Philippines.
LKY is the Bruce Lee of politics , governance and leadership 🫡🫡🫡❤️
The Excellence of leadership, administration, management and integrity for a nation singapore. Great salutes to the man of honour Lee Kuan yew
From Third World To First World changed my life when I read it a few years ago. This man was incredible in his leadership and how he spoke.
Thank You Prime Minister for giving a wonderful life in Singapore. You educated me gave a good teaching job and helped me to raise to raise a family in this wonderful country , Singapore. All this did not happen by chance but by hard work , sheer determination and will to stand out as an outstanding country in this region and the world stage. Long Live the Legacy of PM Lee and Singapore in ages to come.
The greatest leader and statesman of the modern era. The wisdom, charisma, gut and unwavering visionary leadership from this great man is unmatched. It makes Australian politicians look like kindergarten babies, I am from Australia.❤
LKY was a visionary. LHL is an idiot.
LKY brought Singapore from 3rd world to first world economic status. LHL is holding Singapore back with economic stagnation.
LKY served the interest of Singaporeans. LHL makes Singaporeans serve him.
When LKY passed away, millions of Singaporeans lined the streets to send him off. When LHL passes away, millions of Singaporeans will turn their back against his coffin. Present day PAP is not like when it was founded by LKY. Do not trust PAP. Do not vote PAP.
I would dare say that without LKY, Singapore would not have achieved the progress it enjoys today. The like of LKY is the dream leader of any nation.
One of LKY’s greatest fears for Singapore was the complacency of the people - when people assume that Singapore’s battle for survival is assured, and that they can slacken on the pursuit of good governance.
LKY was right. I am often astonished by how so many Singaporeans are constantly and unreasonably dissatisfied with their lives in SG.
If one were to survey all the governments that exist throughout the world (past and present), one must admit - when it comes to good governance, it doesn’t get much better than PAP.
Many Singaporeans seem to think that European countries or Australia are good examples for Singapore to follow. Remember that unlike these countries, Singapore has no resources, has a tiny population, tiny geography, a perilous neighbourhood. What works for such greatly advantaged countries cannot be blindly assumed to work for SG.
On the contrary, many of these countries want to learn from SG (in other words, learn from PAP).
Singaporeans need to realise that the good path (not necessarily the new path) is the way to their prosperity.
Don’t spill the cup that you have inherited from LKY.
The greatest leader and statesman of the modern era. The wisdom, charisma, gut and unwavering visionary leadership from this great man is unmatched. It makes Australian politicians look like kindergarten babies, I am from Australia.
I often think that. But the newer generation had it all good. I am s retiree having gone through the 60s, 70s till now. Went through the worse and best of times. We treasure Mr Lees governing style.
Look at how PAP has grown complacent. Mad Magazine face like CCS can be a minister. TPL can be an MP
Let's be honest what he thought about the SG peasants !
He treated the peasants like horses .... they need to have stirrups dig into their hide !
@@PleaseGetReal this was a chinese country. Thats how the chinese mentality is. Work, work, work. We had to. ! On national day speeches i remember. He always began with’we have done well, it was a good year, but we cannot be complacent. We have to work harder! Never fails. 👍
Respect from a country that made every mistake imaginable and still does .
ruining what was once paradise .
We can only dream of having leaders like this.
Mr. Lee Kuan Yew was one of the best or probably the best leader after the WW2. Singapore is very lucky to be led by a great man.
Who was before WW2 ?
We will not get another LKY. He is the best leader in the world. Without him. Singapore will not be good today. I missed him. I thanked him for giving good educations for my childerns. I respected him as a father of Singapore. Without him we will not have better life today.
SIngapore cannot afford another LKY !
He was from the past where there was no Internet !
Today if he had done the same thing, there will be an outcry !
@@PleaseGetRealbecause people like you like thinking small. 😂 Leadership like LKW’s is desperately needed by this fallen world today. You just don’t have the vision to see it.
@@jinwoo78 Hahahaha
KIds will be kids !
I'm a US citizen, worked & lived in Singapore for few months in 2015, the year Mr. LKY passed away.
I read all his memoirs & watched most his videos on YT.
His wisdom not only guided a nation, but also as individual, we all can be inspired & enlightened by his wisdom & realistic approach way of living & seeing things, especially in today's WOKE & messy world.
God bless Singapore, I'm gonna move back to the best city in the world sooner or later.
Singaporean youths should keep a clear mind & really cherish what they have now, compared to what's going on in USA & EU nowadays.
racist Muslims Malays kicked the Chinese Singaporeans outta Malaysia in 1965, is one of the most plot twisting irony in the human history. So fortunate to have the right person Mr. LKY & his team, at that right time & right place in history to lead the city state...
Look at Malaysia now, vs Singapore...
Like Mr. LKY said, time would prove it, no need to argue in ideologies.
It’s only the politicians of the west and east spend the energies to resolve the domestic issues with an unwavering focus to keep improving their own countries instead of quibbling over South China Sea, inventing false narratives against each other and ganging up like gangsters in NATO, AUKUS, 5 EYES & QUAD and using dirty tricks like sanctions, tariffs and technology bans just to slow a country’s progress and passing that as justified actions again an invented enemy. The world is messy because of politicians plotting the downfall of others. They have much to learn from LYK indeed !
That's because the British flooded Malaya with tens of thousands of Chinese refugees in the late 1800's and early 1900's so that they can work on rubber plantations for rubber/latex industry which is needed for automotive/airplane engines WITHOUT rubber engines won't work etc, this influx of Chinese who are hostile to non Chinese Lee boasted before the split that "Chinese will run Malaya" slapping them in their faces almost, the British purposely changed the demographics to suit their industrial needs with any regards to the native Malay pop. many Chinese later became Communist guerillas killing Malays. you should read a book lady... @@kl12345-u
@@michaelsamuel9917 I honestly do not believe Mr. LKY would be that stupid to challenge the Malay rulers in their faces by saying "Chinese will run Malaya" in a country that's ethically never dominated by the Chinese in history. Also, he went to Cambridge with the Tunku. They're good friends! I'm not sure where you read about that story. If you can provide me with the resource of where you read that, that'll be most appreciated. It's just something a smart person won't do, you have to use your common sense & judgement when you read & think if it's logical & practical. Because lots of things are not true even from large media like CNN & WSJ. You should know better than this nowadays.
Let me help you think a bit since you lack the logical deep thinking ability:
1. What benefit would it bring to Mr. LKY & Singapore by making such a provocation at that time before the split?
2. The Chinese communist party existed before Singapore joined Malay, if you read Mr. LKY's memoirs, you'd know the communist were against this union. Mr. LKY joined in order to stop communism from spreading in Singapore. It's a fact that the communists were killing Malays, even in Singapore, but it does not erase that fact of Malay top rulers started the 1964 & 1969 riots of purging non Communist local Chinese in Singapore & KL? Do you know that part of history? Those were civilians, average commoners like people you & me, not Communist guerilla fighters in the jungles...
So please tell me your reasoning process.
It's not that I don't read books, I'm well read in history & non fiction. Your demeaning attitude & lack of common sense of boosting the Malay local protectionism & racism against other minority policy is most disgusting & biased. I think you are the one that should read Mr. LKY's books to clear up your mind & views of the world in order to gain a more subjective understanding of the world history.
You can NOT blame the Brits for playing amongst different races to achieve the max result for its Empire's benefit during colonial ages. That's not an excuse or reason for Malay top rulers to act racial discrimination & purge of the Chinese population at that time. After all, it's a smart strategy implemented by the Brits around the world, look at the middle east & africa, similar patterns, which still causing conflicts & wars lasting till this day. This strategy is called "帝王之术" by the ancient Chinese, "The Way to Rule of the Emperor", using the conflicts amongst the lower classes to firmly grasp concentrated power by the top, which Mao played to perfection & killed 40 millions of his own people so that he could be emperor for decades, no one dared to challenged him.
How many non-Communist Chinese died under this strategy & racial riots/purge played by the Malay royal ruling class?
Do you have the #s?
Feel free to check Wiki, I did. Chinese death in hundreds but Malays death only in handful, because the police were ordered by the gov't not to help/protect the minority Chinese, it's an act of encouraging killing its own citizen...
You see the big picture now?

He will be remembered endearing by us Singaporeans who are extremely proud to have him and to share him with the World who experienced his brilliance.
I’m an expat in SG. Sure, Singapore might seem boring and stressful to some, but it’s all about perspective, mate.

When you are in business safe and reliable are the words you care for. China right now is a very exciting place to do business.
Our salute to you, Sir! Singapore is very fortunate to have Lee Kuan Yew as our leader.
His passing away was a huge loss for the world. So many qualities in one single man, amazing!!
As a Malaysian, tears drop for a few moment throughout watching this gem.. We love you Singapore. Deeply believe current Malaysia PMX Anwar Ibrahim learned a lot from Singapore LKY. We are together for the next generation. ❤
I'm British and extremely proud of Singapore! An equal of any country and better than many!
A genuine statesman, having all the qualifications of a real leader and no one since.
Being a Filipino, I wish we had a committed politician in our country but we have gone deeper into the rabbit hope.
You Singaporeans are very lucky to have had a leader like LKY

@deschan2246 And you and your likes are just parasites feeding on the system he and his team of capable entourage created. What have you and your parasites equal contributed to Singapore other than loads of unsubstantiated criticism? Why aren't you and your likes challenged him publicly when he was still alive? Because you guys wouldn't dare and most of all you guys are just duds and a bunch of hypocritical cowards.
Born in 1979, I grew up in Singapore often thinking of the greener grass in the West or Australia, and resenting the authoritarian ring of the PAP and LKY in my rebellious youth. In my 30s, finally a grown up with a mortgage and kid, a good job (representing Singapore) and residing overseas, I began to consolidate my experiences, the country's historical legacy, its economic challenges, and sociopolitical trajectory. And I realised how absolutely vital LKY had been and how great leadership -- in an entire government -- is the indispensable rock of any nation. My son is growing up in Europe, and will never know the legacy of his birth country and how it stands in stark contrast to the malaise and chaos currently besetting the continent. I'm now 45, and I have transformed my beliefs and identity too (as LKY mentioned in his 80th birthday speech in the video). I have a better understanding of Singapore's and my place in the world, and I'm glad that I am now giving back to my birth country in a small way. My only hope is that my son will one day realise how lucky he was to have been a Singaporean and to have ties -- no matter how weak -- to this fascinating and remarkable nation.
Isn't ironic that we all learn to appreciate SG when we live overseas? I suppose life overseas put things in context and make us understand why things are done the way they are in SG.
@wonvivien21 : Well said 👏👏🤝. I'm a Malaysian by birth, with relatives in Singapore during LKY's early years. In those days, my family and I felt that Singapore was very much a part of our heritage. I'm grateful to the Tengku that he did not build a physical wall across southern Johore!
The contrast as we all know now in the development of both countries was at polar opposites. Great vision for successful self government on the one hand, and the gotoroyong approach including extensive corruption and racial discrimination on the Malaysian side.
My parents sent me and my younger sibling overseas to further our education, partly as a plan to obtain permanent residency in those countries and it worked!
Now in my twilight years I feel a strong pull to return to my childhood experiences in Melaka and Singapore. We shall see how that pans out.
All the best to you and your fellow Singaporeans, with a gentle nudge from a Melaka baba to also enjoy life while you can.
@@FCPCPFyes. Speaking as an American. I can say i would want a leader like LKG. What a man he was.

What a man! I am an Indian and know little about Singapore bit I find Lee's voice, his choice of words and his prrsonality inspiring.
I am in my 60s and love to watch all the documentaries of our Mr Lee Kuan Yew
Juxtaposing the tears shed in 1965 during Singapore’s separation, with the tears shed in 2003 when reciting the pledge at his 80th birthday celebrations, is such a poetic tug at the heartstrings. A must watch!
Like it or not, he dedicated his life to Singapore. That's more than any of you haters out there can ever muster

Why waste time on losers? Just focus on the positive and people who work hard and believe in meritocracy. Everything is earned, not given. Every Singaporean is given the equal pjatform regardless of your race or religion to begin with, where and what you would develop into is a matter of how much an individual had put in to make it count. That's how Singapore survived all these while. Thank god we had more positive achievers of all woks of life than losers.
I love this person. He has a golden heart...who love his country and his people.

I’m so jelly…🙌🏻😭😭😭💖✨
One of the best leader of human history.
I'm so grateful for LKW for giving me the opportunities to come and study in Singapore with full scholarship 10+yrs ago, work and married, now with 2 kids settled down here. I thank the gov took care of us, giving us the best education we could have, the environment the opportunities. I truely felt home here than my originals. I always feel that if one day the country need me in any circumstances like war, i'm willing to fight and die for this country because i appreciate LKY and Singapore so much and willing to unite with this country i called home
No doubt like Malaysian Alvin until his scholarship was terminated, SG govt administration overly worship scholars to most chagrin
Where are you from? Are you SPR?
Despite Singapore having diverse opinions on immigrancy because it is a complex topic, thank you.
I have so much respect for Singapore. Probably the most prosperous nation in the world IMO.
Salute and Tribute to Mr Lee Kuan Yew, the best Political Leader and Country Builder of this Century.
Thats a true real statesman. Not the kind of politicians we are used of nowadays....
What's amazing is he literally spent his whole life building up Singapore. Yes, whole life! Watching his past rally/speech videos from black hair with youthful looks to white hair and frail health, it pains me beyond words. The way he envisioned Singapore back in the 1960s, it is as though he can foresee what we will become today. He saw the future, be it successes or failures. Its really amazing what 1 man can achieve not just on a national but an international level with the highest respect given throughout the world. It meant he touched not just Singaporean's heart but almost the entire planet! He really sacrificed his life in return for a successful Singapore. My utmost respect and salute to Mr. LKY. He will remain as Singapore's legendary figure for eternity.
He lived a life of fulfillment, passion, and purpose that came true. That's quite a blessing! Be glad for him...envy him even.
Thank you for all you have done Mr Lee. I am currently in my 20s and did not truly understand how monumental he was when i was younger. For all the complaints my generation may have, I hope we realise how fortunate we have been to be born into a country so efficient and technocratic - a country our forefathers have so painstakingly built. I have lived overseas and while there are downsides to living here, I still love Singapore dearly.
what downsides? we have the best of everything to live and ample opportunities for all who are willing
@@thinkpadx60 I think we can be open minded and be honest on what he meant. We can recognize that overseas can offer things Singapore can't. I've also lived overseas for a few years, and I still think Singapore is the best on what I think is impt (safety etc). however, Singapore is also limited due to its small size, thru no fault of its own. some examples I prefer overseas are house choices, cars, scenery, pace of life to name a few. so it really depends on what you feel is more suited and impt to yourself. no right and wrong here.
back in the 80s i was a kid and i always saw my parents watching LKY on tv, i always asked.."who is this man" they always say.."your ah gong" ..miss u ah gong and RIP

The funeral of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew in 2015 attracted a large crowd of mourners, with estimates suggesting 0.5 million people visited the coffin to pay their respects and I was one of them.
This was a testament to the immense respect and admiration that Ministor Mentor Lee was held in by the people of Singapore and beyond, as well as his legacy as a visionary leader who transformed the country into a modern, prosperous nation. We as Singaporeans are forever grateful to him and his team for what they have done for our country.

It is a wonderful thing to see a people who have stood firm against all these difficulties, hardships and the betrayal of some countries, and have established a clean, advanced, and racism-free country with economic pillars that are considered the best in the world... Yes, they are the outstanding people of Singapore.❤❤❤

This speech made me tear up. You could see the sheer determination and optimism Mr Lee had in his eyes. He knew it was a painful journey, he knew it would be long and arduous, but he never stopped believing in us. He had such high confidence and belief in all of us, and he never ever stopped working towards achieving greater heights, and it was because of his beliefs in us.
From a Northeast Indian Nepali with tears in my eyes ...wish thats the world too follows Lee Kuan Yew's ideals❤...I wish my country India too finds a Leader like you
you already have it..his name is narendra modi...please enjoy

He's a fine man who walks his words and is respected with his endless dedication to his nation. You'll always be my inspiration. Thank you Mr. LKY.
He will always be my favorite prime minister of Singapore
One thing that really stand out watching his speeches, is that he didn't gave, inspirational, historical speeches during his leadership, but he lead consistently. His speeches were always sharing a vision, motivating his people, calling them to service the nation.
Stark difference from today's West leaders, who are more worried to say how great they are, the big things he's doing...
Well said
I watched some of Biden speeches.Stringing together a coherent sentence is difficult , K Harris speeches is a joke.

Big respect for this MAN. A real visionary and true stateman of the nation.
He speak facts and straightforward.
I am so inspired
Thank you CNA for sharing this. He is the greatest leader and statesman of the modern era. The wisdom, charisma, gut and unwavering visionary leadership from this great man is unmatched. It makes Australian politicians look like kindergarten babies, I am from Australia.
LKY was a visionary. LHL is an idiot.
LKY brought Singapore from 3rd world to first world economic status. LHL is holding Singapore back with economic stagnation.
LKY served the interest of Singaporeans. LHL makes Singaporeans serve him.
When LKY passed away, millions of Singaporeans lined the streets to send him off. When LHL passes away, millions of Singaporeans will turn their back against his coffin. Present day PAP is not like when it was founded by LKY. Do not trust PAP. Do not vote PAP.
Try ask CNA to also share the “ Phenomena that reeks of Scandal “ surrounding Timing of LKY’s Death ?

Respect to the founder father Mr. Lee Kwan Yew !!!
Watched this film on Netflix with whole family ❤ absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for this documentary ❤
proud to be part of this nation.
Majulah Singapura!😊
Every third world country needs a man like Mr. Lee who truly care about their country and their people. It's just sad how citizens of third world countries suffer everyday without even basic needs while their rulers live in luxury. Hats off of to late Mr. Lee, a true gentlemen and human being who did great on his short journey on earth.
The late my prime ministers Mr lee kuan yue he talk fluently Malay language and his son also fluently speaking Malay as what I see among all prime ministers in spore and also the new prime minister he can't challenge these two legendary men I love them may he rest in peace and long live to his son majulah singapura
he's a great man, one of the greatest that ever lived, it'd be a blessing for any nation to have a leader like him.
One of the Greatest Leader on earth ! Our nation miss you.
