No doubts he had done a great job. But Politic is a dirty game. No one likes Authoritarian. Restricted many creative ideas and freedom to express. Example: Chinese language and talented Singaporean left Singapore

Over the course of several decades, Singapore has carried out a few hundred executions, while at the same time supporting a population of millions that lives in one of the world’s wealthiest and safest societies.

This is how impressive LKY is. Charlie Munger is widely regarded as one of the greatest investors of the 20th century, not just for his personal returns but for his profound influence on the investment world. In an interview, he said he has 2 busts in his house. 1st is Benjamin Franklin and the 2nd is Lee Kuan Yew. That right there tells you alot about LKY.

Lee Kuan Yew provided critical, pragmatic support to the United States during the Vietnam War by acting as a staunch anti-communist voice in Southeast Asia, providing logistical facilities for U.S. forces, and advocating that American presence bought time for neighboring nations to strengthen their own economies and resilience against communism. Lets not forget he supported the Pol pot regime.

I just finished his book and honestly, I can’t think of many leaders with Lee Kuan Yew’s level of wisdom, ingenuity, and grit. If he were Western, the narrative machine might have turned him into a near mythic figure. Instead, because he didn’t bend to Western pressure or approval, he’s often boxed into simplistic labels like “dictator.” Whatever one thinks of his methods, the results are undeniable - transforming Singapore from third world to first world within a generation is extraordinary. I hope Singaporeans truly appreciate how rare that leadership was.

There is nothing controversial about him. He is just an anomaly in the best sense of the word. If Machiavelli had lived long enough to see all the kings and dictators of our times, Lee Kuan Yew would be his poster child, the true embodiment of the "prince"

Every dictators sponsor by English, French or Americans stole from their people, enriched themselves and families while their people were oppressed. Lew kwan Yew change his Country from land of shackes and illiterate villagers. To one of the Richest most modern cities in the World. Only a very few world leaders of 20th Century has that distinction.

LKW proves what a lot of populists who can't see beyond their pathetic and feeble ethnic identities don't want to believe. That civic nationalism with skilled immigrants under a multiracial monocultural society works. This is a concept that has seldomly been genuinely tried throughout the world. Along with Singapore, I can only think of The UAE, Switzerland, and to a lesser degrees, Canada, The UK, Yugoslovia, and New Zealand adopting this philosophy. And ironically, Malaysia is starting to follow Singapore's blueprint in its recent economic rise. Rest in Power, Lee Kwan Yew.

Hello, I respect and admire Lee Kuan Yew and all the things that he did for Singapore, fingers-crossed our country encounter a leader that is in the same level as him in the future. However, I have also read in the internet that some of his actions or decisions may be considered "draconian" and "authoritarian" in another perspective. Regarding this, I have genuine and hypothetical question: "If Mr. Lee Kuan Yew did the same actions he did, both the good and the bad, but these resulted to a poor and perhaps highly corrupt Singapore instead of the current Singapore, how would the people judge him then, especially by Singaporeans?" This is a question I had after reading some opinions of people of him online. This is not meant to offend someone😅 and is meant to just satisfy my curiosty hehehe. Thank you and I give all my admiration respect to Singapore and its people.

Key thing for Singapore’s success is that he never used the national machine for personal gain, everything is set up for public good and he made sure that this culture would seep into every institution in Singapore. No dictators nor most democratic leaders can say that for themselves.

Typical Anglo-Saxon media type of summarization. Anything that is different than western democracies is considered "controversial". Each country and region have their own culture, history, people etc. Borrowing one western model of democracies, without adaption to its own environment, is disastrous. Lee understood what was and would be best for Singapore, and history has proven his visions right.
