Educated in the West
His self-proclaimed vision and foresight during the early years, he tried to transform Nannystate into a mini-USA or mini-UK, having underestimated China's potential
In other words, he has foresight, but not far enough into the future
Didn't realize that beyond 2000 he has no choice but to change his strategy to steer Nannystate into a mini-China instead
But China government is not stupid either, they know Sg wants a share of its economic pie
use body language

He could never succeed. The US and UK are democratic and innovative.

Why as chinese, Lee Kuan Yew systematically pursued a policy of destruction of chinese education in Singapore as described in the previous source I gave you?
The source says that while the british wanted to control and impose restrictions on chinese education in Singapore, the PAP wanted to thoroughly destroy chinese education giving it at best a secondary role in Singapore.

It is really necessary to destroy chinese schools to reach Lee Kuan Yew's aims?
I have never seen before a chinese like Lee Kuan Yew that wants to vigorously destroy chinese education. Others want to protect or promote, Lee Kuan Yew wants to systematically destroy. Like a muslim want to destroy mosques.Wa kena sai. I don't think I will ever learn the chinese language, especially not Mandarin of all dialects. Waaaaaay to annoying for me. I would rather just learn to read and write it, and not practise much of speaking.

Lee Kuan Yew studied a few years in western country and then came back to Singapore to destroy chinese education, what kind of chinese is this?
Such a disgrace to chinese people. His behaviour is like that of a colonial slave of the west.
actually he was not wrong to adopt English as the mainstream as he has to be fair to every race including the indians and malays so that neither one has the advantage
but i don't like his notion that command of english must be good in order to progress in career or gain social status
many prominent and wealthy figures in China, Hongkong and Japan, their england is only average and so-so

Actually that is complete and total bullshit by Lee Kuan Yew.
That English is a `neutral' language is, of course, an ideological illusion. Since
Singapore was a British colony for 150 years, English was already a common language
among the privileged local population who worked for the colonial administration
and whose children had access to the limited opportunities of learning the language.
This included the first generation of political leaders who, as English speakers, had
access to British university education immediately after the second world war. The
ideological promotion of English as a `neutral' language to all ethnic Asian children
has suppressed this class dimension. The political utility of this illusory `neutrality' is
that it enables the state to articulate, in English, its own interests distinctly, apart from
the interests of all racial groups. It also effects a separation of state/national interests
from those of the racial majority, and prevents state/national interests from being
captured by the racial majority. The position of monolingual Chinese speakers
illustrates this.

I think we need to invent a new term to describe Lee Kuan Yew's bullshit.
I suggest "harryleeism".
Next time someone comes and tell me that Singapore must use english as "neutral" language, I will reply, "ar so you are a follower of harryleeism."
When japanese came and invade Singapore, they targeted the chinese population and carried out a massacre of the chinese population.
Lee Kuan Yew was a collaborator of the Japanese during WWII.
This means that he was a traitor to the chinese community and also to the british.
What does this say about Lee Kuan Yew's character?
I think Lee Kuan Yew is a bastard chinese traitor, WWII connived with japanese, after WWII went to ang moh country, come back gain power then destroy chinese education.
This type of chinese like Lee Kuan Yew that can betray chinese to such an extent is rare.
Sook Ching massacre

“It is also now an undeniable fact that Lee worked earlier for the Japanese military during the Occupation making Britain’s English materials available in Japanese-language for the occupiers,” he added.

Suffice for me to point out one example. Lee Kuan Yew in his memoirs stated that as he was working for the Japanese broadcasting at Cathay Building during the Japanese occupation. Hence, he was able to receive news before other Singaporeans of the impending Allied return to Singapore. He claimed he had discreetly disseminated the information. As such, he was afraid the Japanese authority would punish him for doing so if he were identified. It was a heroic act. He fled to Cameron Highlands to hide till the return of the Allied forces.
But after the publication of his memoirs, Mei Ling Chung Harding in her book, Escape from Paradise stated that Lee Kuan Yew was working for the Japanese Intelligence. We may note that Intelligence is a very different sector from Broadcasting.
She was never sued for libel. If you believe her story, then logically Lee Kuan Yew’s flight to Cameron Highlands could not be to evade the Japanese, as claimed. I am sure this puzzle must be in the minds of most of you, and especially those who will be attending the Memorial service at Nilai tomorrow, in honour of those who died fighting against the Japanese aggressors.
Jing Quee has indeed opened the flood gates, and the latest election in Singapore is a testimony to the people’s desire for truth, transparency and free debates as well as to Singaporeans’ over-riding desire to discard fabrications, falsehoods and myths. In this, Jing Quee has done Singapore an enormous service, and lived the life he wanted to.
