Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s Founding Father, Dies at 91

[ih8viet]

RIP You legacy lives on

 

[Lux de Veritas]

Singapore has the lowest fertility rate in whole world, thank you Kuan Yew. One women give birth to 0.8 babies on average. That is ironic as all surveys indicate that Singaporeans are very family oriented. Our women are slut and screw around, but definitely they screw less than white women.

China - the badass riding motorcycles, getting into fights and wearing leather jackets.
Singapore - the passive, safe overachieving Asian.

Who is more successful? Well ask yourself - is tennis more played in Asia, or street basketball? Piano or KTV?
Well, I hate piano.

The whole immigration is designed in favor of Indians, while short changing Malays. The PRC is no longer coming as they found not much wage arbiration between Singapore and cities like Shanghai.

Those PRC who come now are not top calibre.

Meanwhile, India being a slump see Singapore as heaven.

The Indians who come over are top calibre and PRC immigration is still happening. Other thing is that just like East Asians, Indian diaspora is also performing relatively better. Indians are the second most educated racial group in USA and in the UK every one of my Indian friends are in the best universities. And no none of them is religious so no cast system. Asians in general excluding Middle East have the same set of values. What's needed is an administration that can filter out garbage and take bright minds. Some countries succeeded in doing that while the others are not successful yet where the opposite of it is being practiced and their bright minds are leaving.

The top calibre Indians went USA. The PRC who come are not top. Then when our salary are much higher, land price cheaper, car cheaper, a lot of top PRC like here.

There is a kind of "top talent" who are still coming. Scion of corrupt officials, tycoon, rich dandy all over the world, not just PRC.

PRC ferrari driver are so stunning that all Singaporeans are spellbound.

Absolutely correct about the statement of South Asian students' performance in academia. Stellar, in the same league as East Asians.

In context to Singapore, --- the country brings the best and brightest of East and South Asia.

lol, and you would dare claim that you are the 'Voice' of objective reason , representing Singapore?

My dear friend, your -45 ratings should remind you of your eclectic subjectivity , also, your anti-Indian stance is a wee bit too racial for my taste. Or for anyone at that.

I am a racial realist. 90% my negative ratings are given by PRC. I bash PRC and Chinese more than Indians.

Mao great leap is a massive disaster. Mao is sure good in fighting war. But running a country economy is not the type of job suitable for Mao. He better leave it for Deng.

Whatever the rights or wrongs of the first 30 years of PRC, it left behind an educated population and a centralized government which allowed Deng's reform to take off - Lee Kuan Yew

Achievements of Lee Kuan Yew


As Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew presided over an exponential increase in Singapore's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from US$704 million in 1960 to US$38 billion in 1990. This figure currently stands at US$222 billion, or over 300 times its level in 1960. Adjusting for cost of living differences, Singapore's GDP per capita was ranked 3rd globally by the International Monetary Fund in 2010.

Few countries have grown so rapidly, and Singapore's economic success has been widely hailed by international observers. The city-state Lee inherited in 1959 was very different from the Singapore of today.

The streets are now sparkling clean, and the city runs like clockwork. Singapore is a leading financial center, and boasts an impressive skyline that is easily recognizable. Among other things, Singapore's public transportation and education systems are consistently rated highly in international rankings. Singapore is also known as a clean and green city, and at least some of this can be attributed to Lee's tough stance against chewing gum and littering. In 1994, Lee was awarded the Ig Nobel prize, a tongue-in-cheek award given out by genuine Nobel laureates, for “his thirty-year study of the effects of punishing three million citizens of Singapore whenever they spat, chewed gum, or fed pigeons”.

Southeast Asia has developed considerably over the past half-century, but Singapore has leaped even further ahead of her much larger and well-endowed neighbors. It is testament to the combined effort of all Singaporeans, under the ertswhile stewardship of Lee and his team, that the country now stands as an oasis of prosperity, orderliness and efficiency, almost as an oddity in contrast to the region. Singapore is considered one of the world's great cities, comparable to New York, London and Hong Kong.

Lee is also credited for having built up Singapore's national defense from scratch, establishing an armed forces that is capable of projecting strength into the region. He instituted mandatory National Service in 1967, and is known for being an ardent proponent of defense spending.

Another of Lee's significant contributions is his establishment of the Government Investment Corporation (GIC) of Singapore in 1981 to manage Singapore's foreign reserves. The exact size of Singapore's reserves is not known, but it is estimated to be one of the world's top ten largest in size. These reserves have allowed Singapore to defend her currency and maintain exchange rate stability even during the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-8.

Singapore's success story is closely intertwined to the leadership of Lee Kuan Yew. It can be argued that without him, Singapore might not be the bustling, prosperous metropolis it is today. The standard of living has risen dramatically for ordinary Singaporeans, and corruption has been largely eradicated. Singapore is the envy of many from around the world today. Lee was also responsible for leading the PAP to resounding electoral successes and overseeing its rightward shift.

But the price of Lee's leadership was also the muzzling of political dissent, the restriction of press freedom, and the curtailing of union rights. Lee Kuan Yew may be finally stepping down from the Cabinet, but he remains a controversial figure. Lee has spent more than half his life in government, and his contributions must be seen in the light of his political actions, and vice-versa.

There is no doubt that Lee possesses a brilliant mind and incredible foresight. The international media regularly interviews him on issues of foreign and economic policy. Foreign diplomats and international leaders also call on him whenever they visit Singapore.

Describing his role, TIME magazine wrote in 1999 that “Lee now basks in the wisdom of seniority, a latter-day Doge whose views continue to be sought by statesmen and commentators who travel from all over the world to pay court to him in Singapore.”

rest in peace

There is a concerted effort to put me as racist against Indians, and I speak against some of their behavior. The reality is in PDF bashing post, 50% are spent on bashing Chinese, 20% against Indians, 20% against Islam, and 10% against others.

People are blind not to see that. When I bash others, it is ok, when I bash Indians I am racist. The Islam Pakistani PDF moderators are MUCH MUCH honorables than many people here.

I explain to one moderator that I bash Islam for indiscriminate killings and he seems to understand me. I also see many muslims here come out to speak and repent their own extremism and I think Islam has a lot of hope.

Ok, now back to Singapore.

Below is a research lab run by my teacher. The number of Singaporeans there is 0%. The Chinese name there is not Singaporean sounding.

Then Kuan Yew and his media keep open his big mouth and tell Singaporeans we are stupid and lazy.

Due to Kuan Yew and his shit, that is why 95% of EEE post-graduate must go to foreigners.

You are a racist, period. And are known for your prejudicial stance in many things related to social demography. Thus, it is hard to converse with you and expect an ethical answer , devoid of prejudicial-influenced answers.

I respect your right to voice your opinion, but your inherent prejudice for certain groups of people prevents myself and others from having any serious discourse with you.

Please do not fill this thread with your nefarious opinions. Respect the OP's request -- and keep this thread free from trolling.




Sirs @WebMaster , @Manticore , @Jango , @Chak Bamu , @waz , @Hu Songshan , @Deino , --- sirs, can we please remove posts here that are not related to the subject matter --- and may be poised to create an environment that endorses further trolling of this thread. Please, kind Sirs.

He is not wrong on the sentiment in Singapore. His view represent some of the younger working class generation. I can attest although I don't share his view.
