Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Lee Kuan Yew: Singapore's founding father
divided opinion
Which wins, procedure or result, or more
specifically, which is more essential to build or rebuild, or to establish or
restore orders in a country?
A little over a half century ago, Singapore
was nothing but a former colony of the Great Britain. It became a completely independent
country just 50 years ago in 1965 under the leadership of one of the most
prominent politicians in Asian history, Lee Kuan Yew. The Cambridge-educated young
leader had led the city country to an economic powerhouse in Asia. Its GDP or
income per capita is much higher, streets are spotlessly cleaner and crime
rates are undoubtedly lower than any other Asian nation. However, some
criticize the state has strict censorship on media and its judiciary system isn’t
transparent. Yes. In fact, the country has ruled by a single party over a half
century, just like China.
Enjoy reading and learning the legacy of
the founding father of Singapore.
