This is a tribute to a Great Leader, the Father of Modern Singapore, first prime minister of Singapore, Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew on his 77th Birthday - September 16, 1999. Kuan Yew, means the light that shines far and wide. True to the meaning of his name, he has been admired all over and has been honored the architect of the century. I admire him for his Vision, Determination and his attitude of do my best under any circumstance.

[SIZE=-1]Most of stuff has been collected from various books, magazines, news articles. Since I wanted to launch this on the occasion of his birthday, I shall be updating lots of other things and reorganise this page in the coming months. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1][FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]

Lee Kuan Yew was born in Singapore on September 16, 1923. Kuan Yew, means "the light that shines far and wide". [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]Ancestory[/FONT][/SIZE]


[SIZE=-1][FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]He is a fourth-generation Singaporean. His great-grandfather had left Dapu County, Guangdong Province for Singapore at the age of 16. Lee's grandfather, Hoon Leong, went to an English school and began a career as a pharmacist, a trade dominated by the Hakkas. Lee's father, Chin Koon, first worked as a storekeeper at Shell and later at a jewellery shop. [/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1][FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF](Lee's birth was an occasion for great rejoicing in the Lee household. He was the first-born and he was a boy, important to the Chinese for perpetuating the family name. He gave his grandfather such great pride that the old man declared that the child should be educated to become the equal of any Englishman, that is, the model of perfection. The name chosen for him , Kuan Yew, means "the light that shines far and wide".) <!-- 00000000000000000000 TABLE BEGIN 000000000000000000000000000 -->[/FONT][/SIZE]

[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]He is married to Kwa Geok Choo, a similarly brilliant mind who was a Queen's Scholar and the first Malayan woman to achieve a First Class Honours at Cambridge, a feat she achieved in just two years. Together, they formed the legal practice of Lee & Lee, and have two sons, Lee Hsien Loong and Lee Hsien Yang, and a daughter, Lee Wei Ling. [/FONT]

[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]Eldest son Brigadier-General Lee Hsien Loong is deputy prime minister, one of the second-generation leaders to whom Lee and his cohorts have handed over power. He is strongly tipped to be the next Prime Minister of Singapore after present Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. <!-- 00000000000000000000 TABLE BEGIN 000000000000000000000000000 -->[/FONT]

[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]Upbringing & education[/FONT]


[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]He studied at Raffles Institution and Raffles College, and proceeded to Cambridge to read law. After graduating in 1949 with a double First Class Honours and a star for "special distinction", he returned to Singapore to practice law at a well known firm, Laycock and Ong. [/FONT]

[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]Lee emerged as the top Malayan boy in the Senior Cambridge examinations. At the age of 19, his studies were interrupted by the Japanese invasion. After the war, he took law at Cambridge University, where he scored a double first (first-class honors in two subjects) in law. [/FONT]
[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]Political career[/FONT]


[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]In November 1954, led by young Lee, a group of British-educated, middle-class Chinese who had returned to Singapore in the early 1950s after studying in Britain formed the People's Action Party. The party sought to attract a following among the mostly poor and non-English-speaking masses. [/FONT]

[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]Lee became the first offically elected Prime Minister of Singapore. He stayed in office from 1959 to 1990, when he voluntarily stepped down from office to let a group of second-generation leaders take over the running of the government. [/FONT]

[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]Lee's intellect and energy shaped bold -- and often uncompromising -- responses to the challenges of wresting rule from the British and building a nation. His government sought to build a multiracial and multilingual society that would be unified by a sense of a unique "Singaporean identity". [/FONT]

[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]During Lee's long rule, Singapore experienced remarkable economic growth and diversification. In addition to enhancing its position as a world trade centre, it has developed powerful financial and industrial sectors. Singapore has the most advanced economy in Southeast Asia. An island of 600 square kilometres, with three million people, it is the ninth richest country in per capita terms today. [/FONT]

 

[makapaaa]

[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]Even in his graying years, the founding prime minister of Singapore wields very strong influence. He is regarded as virtually a national institution at home. Governments elsewhere solicit his advice on development, and his insights on a changing world, particularly the rise of Asia, are widely respected. [/FONT]

[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]The story of how Lee transformed Singapore is a fascinating one because no other leader in the modern world has had such a hand in influencing and directing his country's progress from independence to developed nation status the way he has. None has straddled the two worlds with as much success: the revolutionary world in the first half of this century for independence from empire, and the development world in the second half for wealth and progress. [/FONT]

[FONT=ARIAL, SANS SERIF]That Singapore is a success today and the success is largely attributable to Lee, there can be few doubts, even among his most severe critics. [/FONT]

Singapore is what it is today thanks to the 75% majority chinese. An old chinese goat also did say that the ratio of chinese to other races must always be maintained at 75% even if it means bringing in garbage from China. No matter how many foreigners we have, chinks will always outnumber by 75%. This figure is non negotiable.

A die hard chinkaporean believes in this through his post
http://www.sammyboy.com/showthread.php?t=23304

SG is the richest country in the region or SEA, 2nd richest country in asia.

OKay i won't deny it's location is very good for entrepot trading. The development by the British also aided to its status of a developed country yet the same can be said of matland.

So what do you guys think if sg was under malay rule? It would probably be under the sultan of johor's juristristion and i think all those johor criminals would be running rampant in SG.

What do u guys think?


Also SG has a majority pop of 75% chinese whom made the country what it is today. If the % were changed say more malays would SG be better or worse?
