Who is Lee Kuan Yew? Does he still relevant?

By reading all of the above answers, you must know by now who is Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.





He is father of current prime minister of Singapore. He is a man with an extra ordinary vision to bring Singapore to its current state in just a few years of time.





He adapted this vision from Israel when nobody was ready to help Singapore in its infancy days, the Israelis taught him few tricks and now you can see the same military model as Israel in the region when there is no threat to Singapore from its neighbours unlike Israel. Singaporeans are pumped for Malaysia as their enemy #1 which is not a reality.





He is father of nation, and in corporate-like Singapore government, he is president while his son is a CEO. Singaporeans should pray for his long life because nobody else is as capable as him, and I wonder, what will happen to Singapore after him!

Reply:Singapore is where we are today (rated 1st class in many areas, envied by many leaders/nations), thanks to LKY; say what you want about him.
Reply:Dude, you must be seriously hiding under a rock to ask that question (?!) He, LKY was the former PM of S'pore. Currently the Minister Mentor.


On his relevance, I believe it's more so than ever with the succession of his son, Lee Hsien-Loong since 2004; albeit in a more behind the scenes manner.
Reply:Yes. Singapore is one of the 1st class nations. And you need to know who is Lee Kuan Yew when you talk about Sg.


I am not Chinese though, I can understand his political policy under managing Singapore.
Reply:'SinfullyAlluring' it seems to me that either there is a another Singapore/Lee Kuan Yew in a parallel universe where you live or you know very little about the Singapore/Lee Kuan Yew in this universe.Spend some time on Yahoo Search,you might even learn something.
Reply:Of course, you know who is LKY but you deliberately asked sarcastically who is LKY and in the same breath, whether he is relevant. I don't know where is your country of orgin but if you're an outsider, I suppose you're damn envious of one of Singapore great leader and secretly wish you had a leader like him.
Reply:It goes to say well that you are jealous of him and hate him because he speaks the truth.





Most people who read world news know who LKY is. Even kampong folks know him. Unfortunately you don't.
Reply:He's our Mentor Minister.





Many singaporeans admire him for shaping our country to 1st class in less than 40 years.





Yes, his influence is tremendous.
