Re: This man helped turn China into an economic power

He may have helped china to recover, but he was not the first in south east asia to forge diplomatic relations with china. That honour goes to tun razak of malaysia. and currently, malaysia happens to be china's biggest trading partner in south east asia.

You're right. For all of old fart's opportunism, he was too chicken to make the first move to normalize relations with China, for fear of offending our neighbours. It took vision and courage on Tun Razak's part, especially at the height of the Cold War and when memories of commie infiltration in S.E. Asia were still fresh.

Re: This man helped turn China into an economic power

They were written in favour of one man.
I doubt Singapore did China a favour during DXP time.
In reverse, China did favour to Singapore by allowing development projects in China.

DXP was a great great leader who fell out with MZD for not focusing economic policies.
When he came back to lead China, he open lots of business opportunities and Singapore was include as a partner.
It was not LKY vision to make China progress, but purely it was DXP visionary since 1950's era.

yes. Deng Xiaoping always advocated economic reforms. LKY didn't convince/persuade him on the open door policy. ( don't think he claimed that too ) but rather he strengthened Deng's belief that he must undertake the programs to modernize the Chinese economy asap. Singapore ( excluding Hongkong and Taiwan ) was the pioneer of foreign investments in China then.

What annoyed me is that many Singapore writers wrote great about LKY without learning details of the history and other leaders as well.
Their writtens tend to distort the history, and even may cause displomacy turmoil.

Teary Mourners in Singapore Remember Lee Kuan Yew

Vasuki Thirupathi, an engineer from India who worked in Singapore two decades ago and was back on a visit, said he sobbed uncontrollably for two minutes when he heard the news.

“He is my idol, and not a day passes without my saying it,” Mr. Thirupathi said. “Security, law and order, truth, honesty — all of this requires vision and boils down to leadership.”

Asked about the tapering of political freedoms under Mr. Lee, Mr. Thirupathi, the engineer from India who stood in the grieving line wearing an I Love Singapore T-shirt, said Mr. Lee’s priorities had been right.

“As long as you are economically well off, with housing and food, who cares about the politics?” he said. “I would much rather live in a country like this than a place where you have every freedom in the world but you are hungry.”

Re: This man helped turn China into an economic power

the ghettos are due to french colonial legacy. On the football front, these muslim ghettos produces Karim benzema, zinedine Zidane, Sami nasri etc. On the other hand, LKY destroyed malay legacy by acquiring and dispersing malays and denying them of a majority constituency.

1 Zidane = 10,000 terrorists is not a good exchange. But you're a Mat and logic escapes you. You Mats have never ever had a dominant role in Singapore. Your legacy is in Indonesia. I have asked you many times and you refuse to answer a simple logical question. This shows you are living in denial. A liar.

If Mats in Malaysia do not claim to be indigenous to Malaysia then why do you Mats make such claims in Singapore? Based on what historical records do you have to make such outrageous claims?

He might only look at materials and wealth.

As per history and in encyclopedia, Burmese (previously known as Burman, now called Myanmar people) are decent from Tibetan/ Chinese tribes.


...the principal axis of the old Myanmar kingdom, the Irrawaddy River has shaped the country’s history, settlement patterns, and economic development. As early as the 6th century, the ancestors of the Burmese arrived from the China-Tibet border area. Using the Irrawaddy as a means of transport, they gradually spread onto the Kyaukse plain and became the major power in the rice-growing region of...

Origins[edit]
The Bamar are of Southeast Asian descent, and speak a Sino-Tibetan language (related to Tibetan, and more distantly to Chinese). They migrated from the present day Yunnan in China into the Irrawaddy River valley in Upper Burma about 1200–1500 years ago.[citation needed] Over the last millennium, they have largely replaced/absorbed the Mon and the earlier Pyu, ethnic groups that formerly dominated the Ayeyarwady valley.[citation needed]

Maharaja Lee sounds less cringey than 'Founding PM' or 'Founding Father'. In Chinese it's literally 'Pioneer PM' (建国总理).

'Pioneer PM' is too demeaning. I just heard the DJs on 93.3 FM refer to him as 国父 (father of the nation).
