Commentary: 10 years after Lee Kuan Yew’s death, have Singaporeans abandoned his staunch belief of Singapore’s vulnerability?​

After Lee Kuan Yew's death in 2015, the vulnerability narrative has lost its appeal among Singaporeans today, especially among the young, says veteran newspaper editor Han Fook Kwang.

SINGAPORE: If Lee Kuan Yew were alive today, would he jump out of his sick bed as he famously promised and try to stop the downward slide he feared Singapore could head towards? Or would he afford himself a satisfied smile that the island state was in good hands and doing as well as could be expected?

Ten years after his death in 2015, contrary to the claims of some of his critics, Singapore has not followed him to his grave. That might give him some satisfaction, though, being the country’s worrier-in-chief when he was alive, he would never be completely satisfied.

SINGAPORE – The legacy of Singapore’s founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew can be found in every corner of Tanjong Pagar, where he stood for election throughout his political career, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Indranee Rajah on March 22, the eve of his 10th death anniversary.

“In our green spaces that provide respite from urban living; in our modern housing that provides dignity and comfort, and most of all, a home in our community; in initiatives that bring people together and bond us; and most importantly, in the spirit of our people – resilient, forward-looking and committed to making Tanjong Pagar better with each passing year,” said Ms Indranee, who is also Second Minister for Finance and National Development and an MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC.

“What he did for Tanjong Pagar, he also did at scale for the whole country. He oversaw this extraordinary transformation of Singapore in its journey from Third World to First.”

Being Chinese |​

Having been through China’s pressure-cooker education system, I appreciate how Singapore balances Eastern discipline and Western creativity

When I heard about the enrichment classes offered at my son’s preschool in Singapore, I didn’t hesitate to sign him up. There were three options, all exciting: music, Character Smart (a play-based holistic development programme), or English speech and drama. Woody, 3½ years old, was already enrolled in Taekwondo and drawing. So the question arose: should I choose, or just sign him up for everything?


Around then, I received a message from the mother of Yueyue, a classmate of Woody’s and a fellow drawing enthusiast. “The drawing class won’t overlap with the English speech class, right?” she asked.


“No,” I texted back, “the speech class finishes at 5.15pm, and there’s plenty of time since the drawing class starts at 6.30.”


Her next message struck a chord: “I’ve enrolled Yueyue in all three enrichment programmes. They seem interesting and I want to nurture her curiosity to see what she truly enjoys.”

SINGAPORE: As Tanjong Pagar Members of Parliament gathered to mark the death anniversary of Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, Ms Indranee Rajah recalled one lesson he taught her - that walking the ground is one of the most important things an MP can do.

"To see people in their homes, in their houses, understand how they live, what they’re eating, what they’re doing, because these are the things that keep you in touch," said Ms Indranee, who is the grassroots adviser for the constituency, as well as a minister in the Prime Minister's Office.

Do the words chéngyǔ (成语) strike fear in your jiak kentang heart?

If so, this article probably isn't for you.


But for the rest of us, Minister for Education Chan Chun Sing wielded chéngyǔ (Chinese set phrases or idioms) in an eloquent fashion while delivering a tribute to the late Lee Kuan Yew on Mar. 22 at Duxton Plain Park.

Speaking at a commemoration event organised by the People's Association, Chan, who is also an adviser to the Tanjong Pagar grassroots groups, used chéngyǔ to illustrate three lessons he had personally picked up from the late Lee.



1. 以民为本,以国为先 (The people are the foundation, the country is the priority)​



According to Chan, the late Lee always posed two questions whenever he met his grassroots advisers:







  1. How are the residents doing?




  2. What's happening around the world and how is it going to impact Singapore?




"In his mind, it was always about the welfare and the well-being of Singaporeans," said Chan. "It is always about how the larger forces happening around the world are going to impact our lives and livelihood."

The son of modern Singapore's founder has gained asylum in the UK following claims of persecution amid a high-profile family feud.
Lee Hsien Yang has long alleged he faces oppression back home from the Singapore government that was led for 20 years by his brother, Lee Hsien Loong.
The government denies these claims and says he is free to return.
Both men are sons of the revered leader Lee Kuan Yew who died in 2015. Since then the brothers have been locked in a years-long dispute over their father's house, which has spiralled into a vicious public family battle.
