He was so ahead of his time. Third world nations can learn alot from him. RIP Sir.
A visionary leader
I don't think the lessons needed to be learnt from him are limited to third-world countries.
US and UK should be the first ones to learn something from him
How facetious and Wrong! We all can learn from the great statesman Lee Kuan Yew.
Lee Kyan Yew on visiting prosperous London didn't complain or make excuses he said, 'we can do this too 'and he went back to Singapore and did it.
lol London or England is nothing like Singapore. you freaking wish...... haha
Now Londoners wish to be like Singapore :))
@@teranceamalanathan4754I agree, londonistan is no where close to how organised and clean singapore is
Must’ve been a while back, anyone who goes to London now is looking to get out asap, not trying to recreate it.
Lee kwan the magician!
The amazing thing is he made Singapore prosperous within his lifetime.
*All respect to the late LKY*
Despite there are pros and cons from him, I do respect him more than one of his son.
SG’s LKY , My Favourite Dictator… Bad Habits include Land Grab , Destroying Not Only Political Adversaries But also Influential People, Families & sometimes even entire Communities etc … RIP Buddy, KARMA rdy at Work ❤😊
We usually hate arrogance but this is one that I like.
Belief in himself and his govt. Not arrogance
This was confidence, not arrogance
Thousand years, eternity… that’s arrogance
@@Diderot68 I disagree, he just optimistic. I know people when they are arrogance but he is not one of them.
Nah man, you are just insecure. Confidence comes across as arrogance to people who have not reaped the benefits of hard work & without a plan. If you don't plan ahead / have a vision, you are not a leader.
The first thing to notice is not the man himself but the date. It is October, 1965. This is before Singapore would actually register sustained, economic growth and overcome its racial problems and attract the attention of leaders the world over. And yet this man, Lee Kuan Yew, had this amazing swagger, this confidence about him. Declaring that Singapore would be around in 1000 years. It is almost like he KNEW, like you know the sun will rise tomorrow, that Singapore under his leadership would rise and overcome its economic problems and become a united, First World nation. Now that is a true leader.
That's the man of vision instead of greed. He wouldn't mind if he loses but he would mind if the winners are all for themselves instead of the vision.
It may be here in a thousand yrs. yeah but in what shape! Already the rot has begun. Corruption, crime, filth in the streets everywhere , overpopulation, escalating costs, govt has big dreams to show the world. Citizens know better. The rot has begin frm the inside!
I am not Singaporean but I love this man wish we have one like him in Egypt someday ❤
Singapore become great because tolerance to all religion, focus for development, no place for radical
You had nasser
Bruh..mslim is the worst leader.
Or in Mexico 😞
Thank you to Nasser's support for Singapore in our early days ❤
A great man! Every leader should study what he did and what he believed.
I love Singapore. LKY is tough and pragmatic. We Singaporeans must always stay united no matter what is your background.
He loves his own country well done sir! You are a fine example to all countries ❤
LKY was such a blessing for Singapore.
Truly ahead of time❤.
This is so inspiring. As Chinese, I want to congratulate our Singaporean friends for this miraculous country that they have built.
Throw away your 9 dash line maps and leave our Filipino friends alone.
I’m a Singaporean Chinese, and I support ASEAN! I would like to thank you for your comment @WChocoleta
@@BuddhaWho777I support Philippines, our ASEAN friends! But I don’t really think we should mention politics here pls
Super confident! He’s the visionary!
CNA, release more videos of him! Full versions!
Respect to this great Leader
A true leader, even though am not Singaporean i still respect his careness of his people before him, that he worked not for him & his generation but for singapore today
I hope he atleast witnessed sg rise before he died
He already witness from 1965-2015....
all respects to such a great leader. I keep listening to his valuable works
The greatest country of all time.
Learn political ideologies, learn from Mr. LKY.He builds politics , excel in the political arena.A gifted stateman for the people of Singapore.Lion King medal to him.
This man is so good that even 1st malaysian pm fear him. thats why singapore get kicked out
LKY was inspired by London and wanted Singapore to look like London.
Now as a Brit i want London to look like Singapore. What an amazing man he was
I cannot breathe anymore now only 59 years
LKY A BUILDER NOT A CONQUERER.
Malaysian political leaders that learn from Mr.LKY.,produce successes.....
We need a leader like him in India.
Respect 🙏
a true kingzy! fellow.......born leader!
He have strong Principe
Lee Kuan Yew aka the most feared dictator of Southeast Asia. And look how mighty SG is today. We need more dictators like LKY, the iron fist leader. "Smart dictatorship" is what developing countries need. LKY mastered this craft.
The greatest dictator that got away with alleged crimes = LEE KUAN YEW
I feel like Singapore was supposed to be maybe at most a good tourism spot. But this man willed it into high excellence.
This Man Was a Genius!
Not a fan of this man but I wish hong kong had leaders like him, who actually cared about hong kong's interests.
Tunku Abdul Rahman watching this with 1SGD=3.5MYR 😂
Now 1sgd=4.74myr.😂
How is this about multiracialism? He's talking about the principles of his government
Thank you. I came to the comments to see if I was missing something.
Bruce Lee was the LKY of martial arts.
Real leader... Love u sir❤
Wow
What a visionary leader
You gotta to hand it to late LKY, his command of the English language the use of it - is 2nd to none. No Singlish , no woke or political correctness all in the name of getting country to prosper and get the job done.
Never thought i said this, we need PM like this.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ from 🇧🇹
That last line was hilarious.
R.I.P Lee Kuan Yew. A living legend
🎉
😚LKY😘 ILove SG😍
1994 to 2024

uncle of bruce lee
He is the Bruce Lee in governing.
The dream of most 3rd world nations.
He is not talking about multiculturalism.
Imagine a corrupt leader like Marcos ruled Singapore, probably no direction like PH
Phillippines snd Myanmar were among the richest countries in South east Asia after WW2. Look what happened to them now. One is ruled by a military regime and another, populist family clan rotating to take over the running of the country.
Singapore much better than Malaysia what have Malaysia happens is no marathon ending route. Appreciate your government continuously efforts since independence. The rests are external factors Mr Joe Biden and his allies want to secure its citizen's employment therefore trade war happen, Protectionism always there to secure citizen's employment, hence, government needs maximize tax revenues, citizen only survive for life and continuous innovation get the society liveable.

The PAP govt strives to build a nation of diversity and inclusivity. Those associated with the oppositions strive to destroy it with lies and deceptions as evident in the numerous pofmas issued to them.

A 000 year??? Unlikely, with the current leadership, who had destroyed much of old guard legacies.
Believe in True God. God sent His only Son to keep us OUT of hell by Christ's perfect sacrifice! God gives ALL mankind the freedom to choose heaven or hell, we choose heaven by clinging to Jesus, and trusting the finished work of the cross
... But people who
decide to reject the Way to heaven the Lord Jesus. (THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD) have already CHOSEN eternal hell, PLEASE REPENT! (change your mind) and FOLLOW JESUS! while it's STILL NOT too late!

😅 yep That's the weird thing
新加坡不能走回頭路
不能走歐美路線
不能向中國靠攏
自己要走出自己的路
這20年內
若無法成為世界第一
讓全世界都想移居新加坡
那
新加坡就沒有什麼特別的地方
等待
新加坡有舉世奇才出現
帶領新加坡
新加坡的競爭力
被土地所侷限
麻六甲不在那麼迷人
飘洋过海 我吃得起苦
相信天无绝人之路
The son is a pale shadow of his father
Each taking a different set of problems which require fresh approaches
I love the father but I love the son more…God bless Singapore 🇸🇬
Don’t compare father and son. How would you like if people make this kind of comparison on you.
Are you better than your father. Please tell your father if you are.

LKY vs 4G = Heaven n HELL
Are you living in hell now?
@@KatJade269
😂😂😂….good reply
太離譜了！真的很像黃國昌
His accent is so indian accent from Hollywood
Singapore's fertility rate hit a record low last year and is far, far below replacement level. At this rate, in 1000 years, there won't be any Singaporeans left in Singapore.
and wat u doing now?...
Mr Lee predicted this too.
Its a massive cultural problem. People replaced idealism and ideology with consumerism. And Singapore is no different in this regard.
there already is a noticeable shortage. go anywhere, or in a bus or train do you hear the local lingo? No only foreign jargon! right left and centre. we are already quite a minority thats why so many foreign citizens are getting citizenship so easily! to fill in the blanks! the last i read its 3:2 the ratio of singaporeans to foreign Prs . mr Lee had to do what he had to do at the time.
He's the problem to our problems today and in the future!
There are pros and cons after Singapore separate from Malaysia.
Singapore would be in poverty and still developing without him.
@mic5391, u hv an invitation by @xarifa777 to stay in Msia if u feel that SG is a pain to u.
@suhandatanker . U said it right.👍
Really, what problems did he caused you?
Hes the reason why many problems do not happen in Singapore but in most of the other nations in the world
Jose Mourinho of politics
Ur same as coming ready in thamilnadu.. He is mr. Seeman❤! Love u sir🎉
The arrogance, loves the sound of his own voice.
Hogging the mic, snatching the mic from others and silencing them.
Recieving external help. While touting himself as saviour, with self praise.
The same conceited habits and SOP is practiced today.
Huh?
Hopefully sg not submerge as the rapid climate change... but always can tambak one no worries lol😅😂
Father of racism
. bring Malaysian Chinese, Chinese Mainland to Singapore so Malay become minority.
Provide evidence or shut up.

We usually hate arrogance but this is one that I like.
