Thaiyotakamli Supersonic September 16, 2013 Share September 16, 2013 While Singapore owe the current success to him.. but.. I thought it was Sir Stamford Raffles that founded Singapore? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore + memory from my history lessons back then... it was Sir Stamford Raffles that found Singapore but it was Sir Lee Kuan Yew that develop and modernize singapore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4vtec 3rd Gear September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 It's sad to see the bashing on the forums, where the curses, wishes for an extra public holiday and other unnecessary statements far outweigh those of well abode.

Baphomet 3rd Gear September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 (edited) Overall, our lives have indeed changed with LKY and the team he held back then. these old guards really worked their butts out and we owe it to them. LKY for his vision, and yes, although not all policies did seem very right, from a holistic perspective, we have done well. Now we look towards to the next 50 yrs That's the key point. But everyone seems to credit all the success to LKY alone.. which is so so wrong. To me he's more like the spokeperson, the face to a voice.

Toothiewabbit Supersonic September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 Believed most of us would agree that he is not leaving a totally bad or perfectly good legacy. IMO, he did more good than bad for Singapore. For that, I am grateful to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayy25 6th Gear September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 (edited) That's the key point. But everyone seems to credit all the success to LKY alone.. which is so so wrong. To me he's more like the spokeperson, the face to a voice. that's right! Singapore to become today is not becos of one man but a team of good men working their socks off for the greatness of the nation. Right now, LKY is like machiam Messi in Braca whom everyone idolize but everyone forgotten the other 10 players in the teams who defend hard, the goalkeeper whom guard the post, the midfielders whom fought hard for control and passing and the other strikers whom supported the star player..... To me, give credit when it is due as he deserved it but do not make him like he is GOD and without him SG will collapse. Without the "other 10 players", you reckon SG can be like today? who know SG is communist country with chin Peng and LKY fate switched around.
