How did Singapore Become RICH I The Lee Kuan Yew Story
Singapore stands today as a shining example of progress, renowned for its futuristic skyline, efficient transport system, and a per capita GDP that rivals the wealthiest nations.
Yet, in 1965, its prospects were anything but promising. Back then, Singapore was a struggling island with a GDP per capita of just over $500, barely registering on the global economic map.
By 2024, that figure had soared to over $80,000. This transformation of Singapore was driven by the vision and determination of Lee Kuan Yew.

The Rise and Fall of El-Salvador's Notorious Gangs
Переглядів 5 тис.Місяць тому
For decades, El Salvador, a small Central American country of stunning volcanoes and Pacific beaches, was synonymous with chaos. To the outside world, its name invoked images of rampant violence, ruthless gangsters, and shattered communities. By 2015, El Salvador became the murder capital of the world, with a homicide rate of 105 deaths per 100,000 people. But in an epic reversal, the nation ha...
Papa Doc Duvalier: Haiti's Voodoo Dictator
Переглядів 2 тис.Місяць тому
This was François 'Papa Doc' Duvalier: a leader who combined shrewd political maneuvering with the mystique of a Voodoo priest, ruling Haiti with an iron fist. To maintain his grip on power, he unleashed the Tonton Macoutes, a notorious paramilitary force armed with machetes and an appetite for violence. While he may not be as infamous as other 20th-century tyrants, Duvalier’s dictatorship is p...
Bashar al-Assad: The Rise and Fall of Syria's Dictator
Переглядів 2,9 тис.Місяць тому
Bashar al-Assad’s rise to power seemed improbable. A mild-mannered ophthalmologist Bashir was thrust into the political spotlight after the untimely death of his elder brother. Bashar inherited not just the Syrian presidency in 2000 but also a legacy of ruthless governance. Yet, Bashar’s two-decade rule of the country would see the collapse of this carefully constructed dynasty as Syria descend...
Very simple answer. His Exceppency Lee Kwan Yew. The west will never have a leader like. Wait a minute, they can I their dreams but they woke up realizing it's not reality and they also puddled their bed...! 😂
YES, we are very Rich indeed. We love Singapore with pride. We have good racial harmony. We are very safe. We have a Rule of Law and an efficient Police Force. Great education system and healthcare and good job opportunities. NO chewing gum, who cares! No homeless people, No corruption, No drug issues, No Beggars etc. Thanks to Lee Kuan Yew and his team. We live in peace raising our children as we have no gun gallery like some powerful country. That's why we consider being emotionally rich as we know our government has our back. So what Western critics say we have no Democracy like theirs, who wants their failing society? we eat rice, our stomach will not suit a Potato diet. LOL
Acting Crying. Play victim
2.25 Actually People Action Party(PAP) or Parti Tindakan Rakyat(PETIR) first idea was to combined With Malaya(Malaysian Penisular) to estabslish new nation called Malaysia not independence by its own.Btw i am from Malaysia
Nice job..well done😊
Very interesting
🫡BUKELE!!!!!
Here an interesting fact about Papa Doc, he had the Lord’s Prayer rewritten as way to indoctrinate children
Your narrative is all accurate and truth. Good job!
I am never disappointed by your story telling. Well done 🎉
Yo, I love the new channel! Well, I love all your work! Been a fan for a few years. I gotta catch up on your vids.
My country Jamaica needs a lee kaun ye
I'm no expert on singapore, but from what I've heard pinlic services in singapore are connected to voting for PAP (I think it was a polymatter video where I heard that? It's been years, so I could be wildly misremembering). If songaporians want true democracy, a good first step would be to de-politicize those institutions, so they can't be used as a both carrot and stick. I'm looking forward to this channel growing! I've also enjoyed your channel that focuses on under-reported stories of african history. Thanks for all your hard work!
Where are you from?
@PahatRout 🇺🇸
The worlds best dictator?
I'm sure the poor of singapore may disagree
Absoloutly

Thanks for the video from your original subscriber from African biographics since 2020.Greetings from Malaysia
"Constitutional rights temporarily suspended" This guy was bad as in good. Thank you for the knowledge. 😊
where did you got the information about goberment deals whit the gangs ?????? because nobody has proof of the deal, no tapes , no pictures, nothing !!!!! the so call press is so corrupted that shard to believe anything they said, que viva el salvador free of corruption , que viva nay bukele .
Thank you for the factual delivery as always.
they sent the gangs north to America, so did Venezuela
Best of luck with your new venture!
Bro you do African biographics right?
the influencer who runs this channel and African biographics, is one of the best documentary makers on you tube.
Good job Takenda 🎉🎉
Wow that girl barely knew anythjng about ms-13 MS 13 was ms stoners, they later changed to 13 out of respect n homage to la eme or the Mexican mafia of southern California. Embarrassing here you couldn't find that
Love that your documentaries here are worldwide and well documented 👍🏼
Great documentary Tatender and what baffles me the most is human's ability to forget. Forget because haitians elected his son afterward! How does that even make sense?!
Lmfao, corruption and a rigged election.
good stuff keep it up😂
Henry Kissinger was a vile and disgusting "human". He helped ruin so many countries.
That's the only way to deal with outlaws
I like the new channel and hope to learn more
Thanks
Subbed. Good luck, Tatenda!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for this video. Another Haitian leader whose actions are still very relevant today is Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Could you do a video on him?
Tatenda now we have same no of subscribers. You doing a great job keep. Doing it

Thanks Tatenda. Your proud follower from Malawi.
None can accurately predict what will happen in the next 6 months, nor how well HTS will perform in a national governance role vs the encouraging signs seen in the regions they had administrative control over. But it was vitally important that someone assumed control immediately to try to demonstrate a level of functional governance and provision of basic service that any population needs. I pray that whatever electoral system is implemented the parties can concentrate more on the commonality rather differences; that workable compromises can be found to keep the country from falling deeper into an abyss of violence. In the years from independence in 1946 to Assad’s 1971 coup, Syria had 40 Prime Ministers and 20 Presidents (including very short term “acting” ones). It would be massively hard for a stable new government to emerge and manage the country well and equitably with just the internal issues. It will be miraculous for this to happen when there are so many external actors who do not have the well being of a new Syrian state in their hearts.
Yo! Tatenda from African Biographics is now offering his perspective and narration to abroad nations! This is gonna be good. Can’t wait to see Tatenda do stories of other dictators
What does Voodoo with it.
This was a well done film
your stuff is awesome dude, keep at it
I've been waiting for a video like this.
Truly enjoy your content💯 I'm a Sri Lankan
Tatenda from African Biographics the Goat 🐐❤❤
Thanks Tatenda, you have explained the Syrian issue in very simple terms most people will understand. All the best
Thank you

Future of Syria : The same thing happened to Libya after Gaddafi,chaos, war, Soon the people of Syria will miss assads rulers they miss those days. Soon, the same people who made the revolution will chant: We made a revolution, we made a mistake
