Interviewers like BBC's Tim Sebastian never quite understood why they got the heavy end of the stick interviewing Mr Lee Kuan Yew. They really got a lot to learn from Charlie Rose. Respect is a two-way traffic, duh.

@@jjc4232 this interview was from 12 years ago man... If putin couldn't fix that issue in over 10 years, he wouldn't still be president now. You think people are sitting on their chair doing nothing all the time?
Highest respects for a 'neutral side' gentleman who knows so well about all sides in the game. Knows China from inside out; understands The US from root. We are in the era of 'Trade war', and what President Trump has been doing is surprisingly exactly what LKY had spoken 10 years ago which is : be a global responsible player who follows the rules. What a man. God bless America, God bless human race!
Trump imposes trade barriers on china with the objectives to bring the jobs back to US, not to have China learn to follow rules! that's a huge difference
@@enkii82 yes but he is using the premise of established trade rules with IP theft and forced technology transfer. China did provide some concessions. No doubt strategy is also containment. The Huawei thing is b's though. I live in Canada and I will definitely buy one of their phones now even though no google services. It must be a good phone if they want to ban it
@@cbcluckyii4042 NO, trump is not!! track what he said and did. He imposed tariff on Washing machine etc from China which has no IP theft or forced tech transfer! on washing machine! that's why China brought the case to WTO and WTO sided wtih China for China to retaliate back on USA. There are cases where China has IP theft and forced tech transfer, but Trump is not interested in enforcing those and Obama did brought the case to WTO and WTO sided Obama to impose tariff on those goods like tires. WTO 'forced' China to follow the rules, but Trump undermines WTO and China is the one upholding WTO. funny twist. Trump is doing the wrong thing for the right reason.
Around 11:40 Why are Western nations so eager to pit India and China against each other? Can't there be a possibility that both can cooperate like how EU and US does? I do not want my country to be someone else's pawn in containing the rise of Chinese. India is growing at its own pace and China is at its own. India can do things a lot better but like Mr. Lee said, India is at an inherent disadvantage of not being a homogeneous culture like China. India will deal with this problem in its own way. Give both of them space to grow. Also, *Democracy is not inherently better*. The current Chinese government system works for China but it will not in India. Democracy works in India because it is the only way for India to keep different cultures happy and remain united as a nation. Democracy may not be ideal for China because China can grow faster on a more authoritarian government that can take decisions faster and easier. Different cultures...different government. Its not a difficult concept to grasp people!
Well said ! What I am thinking is the western culture never has concept of harmony or this concept takes no place in their political life. Behind the propaganda of "democracy" , there lies the deep illusion of white supremacism and disgusts the rest of the world, taking present Philippine president's accusation to the hypocrisy of US for example.
There will always be competition between India and China. Many of the industries and markets are overlapping. Also the China is tying up with Pakistan so India is wary of China as well.
The way the host looking at this man , I can felt that Lee is more than just a guest to him.And Lee is indeed legendary as a Politician.Great interview!!
Every interview he gives. He has ample historical knowledge about the place his talking about. He doesn't just look at numbers. He takes into account cultural, language, historical, systematic differences and makes spot on predictions. This guy's eq is off the charts. Goddamn. I wish i was old enuf when your still active in politics. Singapore will always be thankful.
he said so. when he goes to any country he doesnt just talk with the politicians, he goes down to the working man"s level. meet them talk to them ask questions. ! respect. even in spore he was concerned about every nitty gritty aspect of our lives.
38:15 so many people queued up to meet LKY to pick his brains. 38:38 membership has its obligations and it starts with RESPONSIBILITY. Now that's rock solid principle! 39:04 China starts to change and grow after Deng Xiaoping learned from LKY. I lived through and seen Singapore leaders going over to China to help kick-start the special economic zones. Amazing.
Many young people hated him when he's alive, now they flipped their position after he passed away. Fact is what he said is true whether Westernized Singaporeans like it or not. Singapore will not survive under a democratic government, just look at Taiwan and HK. And it is not China's fault that you guys were outcompeted by the Chinese.
Here is the obvious difference between Nehru and Den Xiopeng. Nehru knew his brand of socialism was not working by early 1960s. He did not have the vision or humility to say i screwed up and adopt market economy. It would be another 30 years and a balance of payment crisis for India to change its course towards market economy. Deng Xiopeng did this when he saw the spectacular results in Singapore even though he was from the old guard. Pity we did not have our Den Xiopeng then.
I don't know if it's because of his Buddhist background. The message within his speech always carries a strong sense of humanitarianism that is beyond any materialistic and national level. He is a truly wholesome human being that everyone from all over the world should look up to.
Sir Lee Kuan Yew what a world leader with vast knowledge and deep understanding about almost everything! Hope his legacy will remain in Singapore and its ppl! Be rest Sir! Thank you
There are enough posts praising the great LKY, and rightfully so. Let's take a moment to acknowledge this great interviewer, who not only ask hard questions to squeeze his respected interviewee into taking stances on the many sensitive issues discussed, but also is able to stop himself anytime to let the great man speak his thoughts. What a great interviewee, what a great interviewer.
That just shows how low the standard of western interviewers has become, they are being called “great” when they don’t interrupt their guests because almost all of them do that when their guests don’t say anything they want to hear, that speaks volume about their standard.
I think the difference is most interviewers did respect LKY and understand that he had a very sharp and concise mind. No way anyone can put words into his mouth.
enkii82 I'm an atheist as well but when a person of religious person wishes me well with a religion intonation, i accept it with thanks. These are well-wishes from their heart and I appreciate it.
It's a great blessing that Singapore has such a wise and wisdom founder of a prosperous country. His most foresights of China come ture. And absolutely right，the Chinese people are proud to be Chinese with a splendid history of more than 5000 years. We will work hard to make our country more prosperous and powerful that no one can look down upon us like before.
Salute to his foreseen , salute to his wisdom salute to his honourable. With his talent , then singapore have today . Ruling a country with interest should know most country and nation , able to foresee and analyse country intention . Unfortunately now we see many country leader is leading like a shipping company rather than country . Lost of humanity , commercially benefit . Hope there is more talented people with good intention to lead a country . There is no permanent of life , but to see, look ,listen , learn and analyse from the past noble leader. Thank you Mr Lee Kuan Yew for where we are . RIP .
Charlie Rose has a lot to learn from this senior statesman in his interview, he is going to benefit enormously personally after this visionary politician from Asia presented his view on C.R perceived new world order in his shows. He should be thankful LKY agreed to appear and give him an invaluable lesson on world affairs. " Charlie is like a first year high school student, while LKY is like an experienced university professor giving him an 'advance lesson' on world affair ."
Charlie Rose always had the best guests, in spite of the fact that he blurts out stupid things and conducts an idiotic interview. Glad he has made room for new talent to step in.
Singapore's founding father and Prime Minister of Singapore from 1959-1990, but even after he stepped down in 1990 he continued his political career until 2011. What a good man! R.I.P. Lee Kuan Yew.
+Zachary Xavier I wish he was the Prime Minister of Malaysia, unfortunately he never became one. He was one of the founding fathers of Malaysia, that's for sure.
enkii82 unfortunately Malays in Malaysia would rather have a corrupt incompetent govt for the sake of Malay supremacy. Malaysian future was sealed (by Malay) the day they understandably decided they don't want Malaysian Malaysia but malay malaysia. Malay tida boleh is a painful truth.
Thank you so much LKY! I do wish that our world leaders would produce somebody as bright and careful as MM. Lee Kwan Yew! You are one truly great human being! One of our idols and world role model...Thanks to God for you!
LKY was an insecure bully tyrant who colluded with the Japanese Imperial Army in WW II to gain control over the Singaporean people. He happily used torture caning against his fellow males as a way of consolidating his iron fisted grip over them. He installed his family in government positions effectively turning the governing of Singapore into a family business. He was no different than Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot...all self-serving bully tyrants
@@vf84tcat1 "I just believe in treating all men and women with the same equal dignity and respect. LKY did not" Proceeds to insult an entire country and her people right in other comments. you sound extremely sour and salty. where you from? Malaysia?
What a brilliant mind. And such calm presence and eloquence. He smiled at complex situations and was able to make fun of them with very objective observations and through understanding. He was full of charm and he was so humble! In comparison the reporter looked like someone who was over eager but with a shallow understanding and a habitual rude demeanour. Even when he was conversing with a great mind, and one can see that he has great respect to this man, his body language was still aggressive and almost without respect.
Wow!! I am watching this in 2016, and so many of this great man's words are becoming more and more relevant. Respect, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, you are like Master Oogway of the Kung Fu Panda series.
“I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn't be here today. And I say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn't be here, we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters - who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide what is right. Never mind what the people think.” ― Lee Kuan Yew
@Lance Lee The PAP has a long and nasty record of dishing out personal attacks and name calling. It is a tradition that first began with Lee Kuan Yew labelling his opponents at the Barisan Sosialis "Communists", which resulted in the arrest, detention, torture and stigmatisation of thousands of Singaporeans, in particular Chia Thye Poh who lost 32 years of his life to imprisonment without trial. Name calling by the PAP is no child's play, especially when the party has full control over the local media. As Francis Seow once noted, "Give a dog a bad name and hang it." It can have devastating effects on families and can break lives. The late JB Jeyaretnam was called "mangy dog", "skunk" and "street hustler" by LKY, who proceeded to bankrupt and crush him, with full co-operation of the entire system. Labelled a "Marxist" in 1987, Vincent Cheng was locked up and suffered blows to his abdomen til he passed out blood. Labelled an "Anti-Christian Chinese Chauvinist", Tang Liang Hong had his assets seized and was exiled, leaving his wife and daughter in mental duress. Labelled a "political gangster" and "psychopath" by LKY, Chee Soon Juan was prosecuted, bankrupted, mocked and maligned for 20 years of his political and personal life. During the LKY era, personal attacks were often amplified by the media. When Chee was called a "psychopath", Chua Lee Hoong quoted unnamed medical experts in an entire article to support LKY's diagnosis of the former psychology lecturer. In the post-LKY era, the dirty work has largely been farmed out to a shadowy brigade of keyboard lynch mobs. Sometimes operating under a shroud of pseudonymity, character assassinations have since taken an even nastier tone. Recent recipients of such venom include not just opposition politicians (Vincent Wijeysingha, Yaw Shin Leong, Nicole Seah) but lawyers (M. Ravi), bloggers (Roy Ngerng, Kirsten Han), rights activists (Jolovan Wham, Gilbert Goh), website editors (TRS, TOC) and now even parents seeking justice for their dead children. Next to detention without trial and legal suits, launching personal attacks is PAP's most effective strategy to silence and crush its critics. And it has also worked wonders in perpetuating a culture of self-censorship. No one likes to have his personal life exposed to all and sundry as a consequence for merely challenging the authorities. But the complete impunity enjoyed during the LKY era is now gone. Politicians who engage in gutter politics are now as vulnerable as the opponents they target. For everytime Chan Chun Sing attacks Chee Soon Juan, the gut reaction of netizens is to reciprocate with even lower blows against the minister. For everytime K. Shanmugam threatens a critic, the subject of his divorce gets another airing. For every Yaw Shin Leong, there is always a Michael Palmer waiting to be found out. But will the PAP elevate itself from such an-eye-for-an-eye political discourse? Highly unlikely. Personal attacks and name-calling has proven to serve the PAP very well over the decades. It is very much in the party's DNA. To extricate it from itself, it needs to re-evaluate and denounce LKY's use of such a method to crush opponents. No one is betting on that to happen.
He warned the USA about the deficit and dollars, but sadly nothing was done to correct these situation. It's 2019 now, look like Mr. LKY is going to be Correct.
He passed away a few years ago, some of his predictions have become true...what a insightful man...he said Chinese don't want conflict, pretty sharp view, right on. Japan, US , India don't understand Chinese mindset. He is a half Chinese, he reads our mind..
CHINESES CHINA DONT WANT WAR BUT BEING BLINDED FOLD ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY COMMUNIST RULER. RED CHINA DECLARES AND INVADES THE SOUTHEAST ASIA SEA AS OF THEIRS. CRAB. A real provocation.
Respectfully, i m also half chinese and understand the Chinese would love a peaceful environment so as to acquire more and more aggressively until they encroach on someone else's turf...
i.e. it is chinese greed that will contribute towards instability and war may break out when the Chinese mikitary becomes more capable of defending that greed.
well, because he knows lky was always a pragmatic man and he wouldnt have taken any political correctness bullshit. he would have immediately counterargumented charlie rose with empirical data...lky said it from the get go: not all immigrants are alike, not all ethnic groups are alike. each has its own aspirations, culture, etc. you cant force individuals to do something they are not interested in doing. he knew that for example in the case of singapore there were strong differences between malays and chinese. he gave everyone the same opportunities, but he didnt expect both groups to achieve the same levels of success unlike in the states where liberals, especifically, want all groups to succeed equally.
ChaiwatTh You are a master bullshit artist to attempt cramming this racist spewl down the throats of people with brains. How long have you been a supporter of the Ku Klux Klan? I
Why are low birthrates linked with the subjective view of Singaporean men? I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with that since you get married before you decide to have children other than the odd couple who had an accident, you should talk about marriage statistics if you want to discuss the manliness of Singaporean males. In any case, provide your own evidence when you have facts to share. Define "emasculated pseudo-males" for me too, America's coming up with too many new terms regarding gender nowadays, either that or you think you look smart for adding on big words you don't really understand. If that's the case, it must stem from the lack of affirmation from your time in the Navy and your childhood. Women hook up with whoever they like, unless you have another piece of evidence to share with that fact regarding white women. Why must men have quotation marks? I'm pretty sure that if you have a penis you are be classified as male. I guess I do agree with your logic, straight white women would never hook up with "men" since they aren't real men. Singaporean women are catching on too! Good for them! Anyway, don't include race in this argument, makes you look like you served in the KKK instead of the navy. Or it could be that white women don't like you. Take your pick. I could share with you some stories of failed marriages between Singaporean women and White (White = Caucasian, you fucking idiot) men due to basic cultural differences which severe chauvinism failed to trump. Your generalisation of Singaporean women irks me, anyway, I find it hard to believe any woman would find you attractive in a healthy relationship. Stubborn, chauvinistic, stupid and self-righteous. If you do have a woman, tell her I pity her and that she proves that love is blind, which contradicts ALL of your arguments based on gender. Last ironic point, you called a fellow up there a snivelling pervert who's only goal in life is to get on your knees and obey your master, does that not sound familiar to you? As someone who served in the Navy, your whole life in the navy is focused on doing what your superior (master) tells you to do, if you don't, you get court-martialled, you being a fighter pilot doesn't change shit, in fact, being a fighter pilot might make you the ultimate submissive in the force, you can't even ignore an air traffic controller, who's not part of the force. LOL. I'll let you off on the snivelling pervert remark, I'll just call you a bully, even hiding behind a keyboard you turn to violence. Check with a psychologist to see where your multiple disorders stem from. To close, Singapore canes its young males infront of an audience (not just females) to teach them a TWO crucial lessons in life, actions have consequences and that your family background doesn't matter. I only wished that you understood these lessons, because then you would know what the word pragmatic meant and you would never use it to describe yourself. Some words you can use are: anecdotal, irrelevant, ludicrous, half-baked, senseless, simple, imbecilic, dense, doltish, ill-advised, obtuse and nonsensical. The list is endless! Good luck in life and please, never go to Singapore because you'll find that the men there have already taken the queue numbers to slap the shit back into you for all the shit you've spouted through your 44 years of travel.
Simply learn how LKY used caning torture and humiliation against his fellow males and you'll learn all LKY had to teach. Shame on this evil, bully tyrant
@@vf84tcat1 certainly not perfect. But as his life's work left Singaporeans with a markedly increased standard of living and society than he started with I'd have to say the ends justified the means. Can't win em all.

That’s on hindsight after the recent events in Afghanistan. Honestly LKY is already amazing just pinpointing Afghanistan is a distraction to US at that point of time.

@@jjc4232 this interview was from 12 years ago man... If putin couldn't fix that issue in over 10 years, he wouldn't still be president now. You think people are sitting on their chair doing nothing all the time?
The death of Lee Kuan Yew was a great loss in the history of great leaders in Asia and even around the world.
We desperately need a brilliant clear thinking mind like Lee Kuan Yew today in 2020...what a great human being.
Ikr, would love to hear his views on the world global order now in 2023, and how AI is changing the world. Sadly it's not possible anymore.
pure respect for the wise guru. Lee has the mind of a true world leader.
The wisdom flowing in the interview is tremendous. What a rare opportunity to learn. I will have to let my kids watch this when they become older.
2019 still watch. Wisdom.
Highest respects for a 'neutral side' gentleman who knows so well about all sides in the game.
Knows China from inside out; understands The US from root.
We are in the era of 'Trade war', and what President Trump has been doing is surprisingly exactly what LKY had spoken 10 years ago which is : be a global responsible player who follows the rules.
What a man.
God bless America, God bless human race!
Trump imposes trade barriers on china with the objectives to bring the jobs back to US, not to have China learn to follow rules! that's a huge difference
@@enkii82 yes but he is using the premise of established trade rules with IP theft and forced technology transfer. China did provide some concessions. No doubt strategy is also containment. The Huawei thing is b's though. I live in Canada and I will definitely buy one of their phones now even though no google services. It must be a good phone if they want to ban it
@@cbcluckyii4042 NO, trump is not!! track what he said and did. He imposed tariff on Washing machine etc from China which has no IP theft or forced tech transfer! on washing machine! that's why China brought the case to WTO and WTO sided wtih China for China to retaliate back on USA. There are cases where China has IP theft and forced tech transfer, but Trump is not interested in enforcing those and Obama did brought the case to WTO and WTO sided Obama to impose tariff on those goods like tires. WTO 'forced' China to follow the rules, but Trump undermines WTO and China is the one upholding WTO. funny twist. Trump is doing the wrong thing for the right reason.
He is so sharp at his age it is a bit scary. Envy of Singapore to have such a great leader!
Around 11:40
Why are Western nations so eager to pit India and China against each other? Can't there be a possibility that both can cooperate like how EU and US does? I do not want my country to be someone else's pawn in containing the rise of Chinese. India is growing at its own pace and China is at its own. India can do things a lot better but like Mr. Lee said, India is at an inherent disadvantage of not being a homogeneous culture like China. India will deal with this problem in its own way. Give both of them space to grow.
Also, *Democracy is not inherently better*. The current Chinese government system works for China but it will not in India. Democracy works in India because it is the only way for India to keep different cultures happy and remain united as a nation. Democracy may not be ideal for China because China can grow faster on a more authoritarian government that can take decisions faster and easier. Different cultures...different government. Its not a difficult concept to grasp people!

Well said ! What I am thinking is the western culture never has concept of harmony or this concept takes no place in their political life. Behind the propaganda of "democracy" , there lies the deep illusion of white supremacism and disgusts the rest of the world, taking present Philippine president's accusation to the hypocrisy of US for example.
There will always be competition between India and China. Many of the industries and markets are overlapping. Also the China is tying up with Pakistan so India is wary of China as well.
Tibet was independent during the Ming Dynasty, it wasn't Chinese territory until the Yuan Dynasty.
Here's the list:
1. Aksai Chin
2. Arunachal Pradesh
3. Trans-Karakoram Tract
Two extremely intelligent people, watching this video has been such an enjoyment.
A very wise leader of all times, respect him so much.
The way the host looking at this man , I can felt that Lee is more than just a guest to him.And Lee is indeed legendary as a Politician.Great interview!!
54 minutes of pure wisdom! RIP LKY, his words and work will live forever
for sure
Every interview he gives. He has ample historical knowledge about the place his talking about. He doesn't just look at numbers. He takes into account cultural, language, historical, systematic differences and makes spot on predictions. This guy's eq is off the charts. Goddamn. I wish i was old enuf when your still active in politics. Singapore will always be thankful.
"This guy's eq is off the charts."
And that's an understatement. He reads the world like a book.
he said so. when he goes to any country he doesnt just talk with the politicians, he goes down to the working man"s level. meet them talk to them ask questions. ! respect. even in spore he was concerned about every nitty gritty aspect of our lives.
38:15 so many people queued up to meet LKY to pick his brains.
38:38 membership has its obligations and it starts with RESPONSIBILITY. Now that's rock solid principle!
39:04 China starts to change and grow after Deng Xiaoping learned from LKY. I lived through and seen Singapore leaders going over to China to help kick-start the special economic zones. Amazing.
I am so proud to be a Singaporean... Thanks to this wonderful man... U will always be a legend in our hearts.
Many young people hated him when he's alive, now they flipped their position after he passed away.
Fact is what he said is true whether Westernized Singaporeans like it or not. Singapore will not survive under a democratic government, just look at Taiwan and HK. And it is not China's fault that you guys were outcompeted by the Chinese.
He is a visionary leader. Technology helps us to see how great people see the world.
Lee Kuan Yew is a gold mine of intelligence and wisdom
Indeed
Indeed and a very underrated political leader considering the impact he had on entire world including China
This is absolutely an interview all future leaders of the USA must watch.
A true mentor and philosopher of live. What a pity who lost such great man.
Here is the obvious difference between Nehru and Den Xiopeng.
Nehru knew his brand of socialism was not working by early 1960s. He did not have the vision or humility to say i screwed up and adopt market economy. It would be another 30 years and a balance of payment crisis for India to change its course towards market economy.
Deng Xiopeng did this when he saw the spectacular results in Singapore even though he was from the old guard.
Pity we did not have our Den Xiopeng then.
You also have a genius called Modi who's do his best to undo the progress of the past 3 decades
True farsighted and what he has spoken 12 years ago when he was 86 yo, very relevant now
I don't know if it's because of his Buddhist background. The message within his speech always carries a strong sense of humanitarianism that is beyond any materialistic and national level. He is a truly wholesome human being that everyone from all over the world should look up to.
Sir Lee Kuan Yew what a world leader with vast knowledge and deep understanding about almost everything! Hope his legacy will remain in Singapore and its ppl! Be rest Sir! Thank you
absolute respect for this man LKY.
Amazing interview. Still relevant in 2018.
There are enough posts praising the great LKY, and rightfully so. Let's take a moment to acknowledge this great interviewer, who not only ask hard questions to squeeze his respected interviewee into taking stances on the many sensitive issues discussed, but also is able to stop himself anytime to let the great man speak his thoughts. What a great interviewee, what a great interviewer.
That just shows how low the standard of western interviewers has become, they are being called “great” when they don’t interrupt their guests because almost all of them do that when their guests don’t say anything they want to hear, that speaks volume about their standard.
I think the difference is most interviewers did respect LKY and understand that he had a very sharp and concise mind. No way anyone can put words into his mouth.
THIS is a world leader. RIP Lee Kuan Yew, sir - we will learn from your example for many generations to come.
Very impressive and smart person. The world needs more wise people like this.
He was a Dynamic leader We need this type of dynamic leader more for the betterment of the world .
In 2021, I think Australia needs a wise man like Mr. Lee
Terrific view.. and such humility. The world lost a great leader
Yes I agree
LKY was one of the best world leaders.
What a Leader! Articulate thoughts on such a wide variety of topics that matter to the whole World..
May the Lord rest your Soul in Peace
GoodTimesRoll4Ever He is an atheist!

enkii82 I'm an atheist as well but when a person of religious person wishes me well with a religion intonation, i accept it with thanks. These are well-wishes from their heart and I appreciate it.
It's a great blessing that Singapore has such a wise and wisdom founder of a prosperous country. His most foresights of China come ture. And absolutely right，the Chinese people are proud to be Chinese with a splendid history of more than 5000 years. We will work hard to make our country more prosperous and powerful that no one can look down upon us like before.
Nobody looks down onto you, but you look down onto others.
@@alfaeco15 Well said.
I miss our very wise and candid leader, LKY!
Salute to his foreseen , salute to his wisdom salute to his honourable. With his talent , then singapore have today . Ruling a country with interest should know most country and nation , able to foresee and analyse country intention . Unfortunately now we see many country leader is leading like a shipping company rather than country . Lost of humanity , commercially benefit . Hope there is more talented people with good intention to lead a country . There is no permanent of life , but to see, look ,listen , learn and analyse from the past noble leader. Thank you Mr Lee Kuan Yew for where we are . RIP .
Charlie Rose has a lot to learn from this senior statesman in his interview, he is going to benefit enormously personally after this visionary politician from Asia presented his view on C.R perceived new world order in his shows. He should be thankful LKY agreed to appear and give him an invaluable lesson on world affairs. " Charlie is like a first year high school student, while LKY is like an experienced university professor giving him an 'advance lesson' on world affair ."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
11:56 - this legend understands india more than me he is just mind blowing
Charlie Rose always had the best guests, in spite of the fact that he blurts out stupid things and conducts an idiotic interview. Glad he has made room for new talent to step in.
Singapore's founding father and Prime Minister of Singapore from 1959-1990, but even after he stepped down in 1990 he continued his political career until 2011. What a good man! R.I.P. Lee Kuan Yew.
+Zachary Xavier I wish he was the Prime Minister of Malaysia, unfortunately he never became one. He was one of the founding fathers of Malaysia, that's for sure.
enkii82 unfortunately Malays in Malaysia would rather have a corrupt incompetent govt for the sake of Malay supremacy. Malaysian future was sealed (by Malay) the day they understandably decided they don't want Malaysian Malaysia but malay malaysia. Malay tida boleh is a painful truth.
If LKY is PM of Malaysia then I think there will be a lot of Malaysia chinese billionaires.
not malaysia he is prime minister for singapore
what a great man! A true visionary talk. His words have enlightened me.
As a singaporean born in 1982. I’m so grateful to this man. Without him Singapore would not have become what she is today.
Thank you so much LKY! I do wish that our world leaders would produce somebody as bright and careful as MM. Lee Kwan Yew! You are one truly great human being! One of our idols and world role model...Thanks to God for you!
LKY was an insecure bully tyrant who colluded with the Japanese Imperial Army in WW II to gain control over the Singaporean people. He happily used torture caning against his fellow males as a way of consolidating his iron fisted grip over them. He installed his family in government positions effectively turning the governing of Singapore into a family business.
He was no different than Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot...all self-serving bully tyrants

His life just as his name bright and glory!
truly a Legend, one of the greatest asian leader...how the Singapore become the Singapore now, he's the answer...
What a brilliant mind. And such calm presence and eloquence. He smiled at complex situations and was able to make fun of them with very objective observations and through understanding. He was full of charm and he was so humble!
In comparison the reporter looked like someone who was over eager but with a shallow understanding and a habitual rude demeanour. Even when he was conversing with a great mind, and one can see that he has great respect to this man, his body language was still aggressive and almost without respect.
Wow!! I am watching this in 2016, and so many of this great man's words are becoming more and more relevant. Respect, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, you are like Master Oogway of the Kung Fu Panda series.
Yes especially on China becoming the economic leader in the world. i can see it slowly happening right now.
It's as if Mr Lee has a magic crystal ball to see the future

The best speaking from the politician with professional and very education priminister you are an amazing man .
“I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn't be here today. And I say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn't be here, we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters - who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide what is right. Never mind what the people think.”
― Lee Kuan Yew
These were the exact thoughts of Adolf Hitler. He simply wanted to make a better world by doing all the things LKY did
@Lance Lee
The PAP has a long and nasty record of dishing out personal attacks and name calling. It is a tradition that first began with Lee Kuan Yew labelling his opponents at the Barisan Sosialis "Communists", which resulted in the arrest, detention, torture and stigmatisation of thousands of Singaporeans, in particular Chia Thye Poh who lost 32 years of his life to imprisonment without trial.
Name calling by the PAP is no child's play, especially when the party has full control over the local media. As Francis Seow once noted, "Give a dog a bad name and hang it." It can have devastating effects on families and can break lives.
The late JB Jeyaretnam was called "mangy dog", "skunk" and "street hustler" by LKY, who proceeded to bankrupt and crush him, with full co-operation of the entire system.
Labelled a "Marxist" in 1987, Vincent Cheng was locked up and suffered blows to his abdomen til he passed out blood.
Labelled an "Anti-Christian Chinese Chauvinist", Tang Liang Hong had his assets seized and was exiled, leaving his wife and daughter in mental duress.
Labelled a "political gangster" and "psychopath" by LKY, Chee Soon Juan was prosecuted, bankrupted, mocked and maligned for 20 years of his political and personal life.
During the LKY era, personal attacks were often amplified by the media. When Chee was called a "psychopath", Chua Lee Hoong quoted unnamed medical experts in an entire article to support LKY's diagnosis of the former psychology lecturer.
In the post-LKY era, the dirty work has largely been farmed out to a shadowy brigade of keyboard lynch mobs. Sometimes operating under a shroud of pseudonymity, character assassinations have since taken an even nastier tone.
Recent recipients of such venom include not just opposition politicians (Vincent Wijeysingha, Yaw Shin Leong, Nicole Seah) but lawyers (M. Ravi), bloggers (Roy Ngerng, Kirsten Han), rights activists (Jolovan Wham, Gilbert Goh), website editors (TRS, TOC) and now even parents seeking justice for their dead children.
Next to detention without trial and legal suits, launching personal attacks is PAP's most effective strategy to silence and crush its critics. And it has also worked wonders in perpetuating a culture of self-censorship. No one likes to have his personal life exposed to all and sundry as a consequence for merely challenging the authorities.
But the complete impunity enjoyed during the LKY era is now gone. Politicians who engage in gutter politics are now as vulnerable as the opponents they target. For everytime Chan Chun Sing attacks Chee Soon Juan, the gut reaction of netizens is to reciprocate with even lower blows against the minister. For everytime K. Shanmugam threatens a critic, the subject of his divorce gets another airing. For every Yaw Shin Leong, there is always a Michael Palmer waiting to be found out.
But will the PAP elevate itself from such an-eye-for-an-eye political discourse?
Highly unlikely. Personal attacks and name-calling has proven to serve the PAP very well over the decades. It is very much in the party's DNA. To extricate it from itself, it needs to re-evaluate and denounce LKY's use of such a method to crush opponents. No one is betting on that to happen.
u can still literally apply his theory today to answer most of the world issues today.
impressive. and breathless hearing his inteview
Very wise and respected leader.
I'm here to commemorate Lee for retreating US army from Afghan.
looks like he was right about Europe staying together.
Such an incredible amount of knowledge and wisdom.
strong leader
21:46 Ukrainians in our army. Це знак. Lee is prophet
huge respect LKY and Charlie Rose. Proud to be Singaporean.
i really enjoyed this interview. from the way he speaks, he sounds really well connected around the world.
He warned the USA about the deficit and dollars, but sadly nothing was done to correct these situation. It's 2019 now, look like Mr. LKY is going to be Correct.
he did in another interview with Rose
He passed away a few years ago, some of his predictions have become true...what a insightful man...he said Chinese don't want conflict, pretty sharp view, right on. Japan, US , India don't understand Chinese mindset. He is a half Chinese, he reads our mind..
singaporean chinese, but still 100% han chinese
Ethnicity is Chinese but mindset and world view certainly not Chinese
CHINESES CHINA DONT WANT WAR BUT BEING BLINDED FOLD ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY COMMUNIST RULER.
RED CHINA DECLARES AND INVADES THE SOUTHEAST ASIA SEA AS OF THEIRS. CRAB. A real provocation.
Respectfully, i m also half chinese and understand the Chinese would love a peaceful environment so as to acquire more and more aggressively until they encroach on someone else's turf...
i.e. it is chinese greed that will contribute towards instability and war may break out when the Chinese mikitary becomes more capable of defending that greed.
22:27 immigrants highly intelligent and hard working. not food pickers. charlie rose did not dare to say anything....lol....
well, because he knows lky was always a pragmatic man and he wouldnt have taken any political correctness bullshit. he would have immediately counterargumented charlie rose with empirical data...lky said it from the get go: not all immigrants are alike, not all ethnic groups are alike. each has its own aspirations, culture, etc. you cant force individuals to do something they are not interested in doing. he knew that for example in the case of singapore there were strong differences between malays and chinese. he gave everyone the same opportunities, but he didnt expect both groups to achieve the same levels of success unlike in the states where liberals, especifically, want all groups to succeed equally.

vf84tcat1
it is ok. the singaporean men took wives from malaysia, china, vietnam, russia, india, philipines as well. fair trade.
Why are low birthrates linked with the subjective view of Singaporean men? I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with that since you get married before you decide to have children other than the odd couple who had an accident, you should talk about marriage statistics if you want to discuss the manliness of Singaporean males. In any case, provide your own evidence when you have facts to share.
Define "emasculated pseudo-males" for me too, America's coming up with too many new terms regarding gender nowadays, either that or you think you look smart for adding on big words you don't really understand. If that's the case, it must stem from the lack of affirmation from your time in the Navy and your childhood.
Women hook up with whoever they like, unless you have another piece of evidence to share with that fact regarding white women. Why must men have quotation marks? I'm pretty sure that if you have a penis you are be classified as male. I guess I do agree with your logic, straight white women would never hook up with "men" since they aren't real men. Singaporean women are catching on too! Good for them! Anyway, don't include race in this argument, makes you look like you served in the KKK instead of the navy.
Or it could be that white women don't like you. Take your pick.
I could share with you some stories of failed marriages between Singaporean women and White (White = Caucasian, you fucking idiot) men due to basic cultural differences which severe chauvinism failed to trump. Your generalisation of Singaporean women irks me, anyway, I find it hard to believe any woman would find you attractive in a healthy relationship. Stubborn, chauvinistic, stupid and self-righteous. If you do have a woman, tell her I pity her and that she proves that love is blind, which contradicts ALL of your arguments based on gender.
Last ironic point, you called a fellow up there a snivelling pervert who's only goal in life is to get on your knees and obey your master, does that not sound familiar to you? As someone who served in the Navy, your whole life in the navy is focused on doing what your superior (master) tells you to do, if you don't, you get court-martialled, you being a fighter pilot doesn't change shit, in fact, being a fighter pilot might make you the ultimate submissive in the force, you can't even ignore an air traffic controller, who's not part of the force. LOL. I'll let you off on the snivelling pervert remark, I'll just call you a bully, even hiding behind a keyboard you turn to violence. Check with a psychologist to see where your multiple disorders stem from.
To close, Singapore canes its young males infront of an audience (not just females) to teach them a TWO crucial lessons in life, actions have consequences and that your family background doesn't matter. I only wished that you understood these lessons, because then you would know what the word pragmatic meant and you would never use it to describe yourself. Some words you can use are: anecdotal, irrelevant, ludicrous, half-baked, senseless, simple, imbecilic, dense, doltish, ill-advised, obtuse and nonsensical. The list is endless! Good luck in life and please, never go to Singapore because you'll find that the men there have already taken the queue numbers to slap the shit back into you for all the shit you've spouted through your 44 years of travel.
from 2021.. Thank you, LKY
