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...

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’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...

    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

    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!

    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.
