Singapore’s founding father and Minister Mentor Mr Lee Kuan Yew said in an interview with The Straits Times in 2007:
“My job is to look after those who built the nation. Without them doing the dirty and hard work, I would not have a decent life, I would not have been a leader, my children would not have been educated.”
Mr Kishore Mahbubani, Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy wrote in an article for The Earth Times in 2001:
“There are no homeless, destitute or starving people in Singapore. Poverty has been eradicated, not through an entitlements program (there are virtually none) but through a unique partnership between the government, corporate citizens, self-help groups and voluntary initiatives.”
