"Speaking up" doesnt mean a good thing all the time in the workplace...there are those who speak up to create division, tension or trying to show off his eloquence to bosses presence there or to intimidate others,etc...there are "power" in silent people who just sits there n listen quietly, analysing what is going on...n they only speaks at the right time...n not some noisy gongs which the western world seems to like...
Exactly even after 17 years, this will still valid in the next decade. The west has never changed and learned combined with their superiority complex hence they are in decline.

It comes back down to Asians cannot innovate, think etc. It seems in occidental eyes thinking and innovation is a western propensity. Us Asians can only look on in envy! And yet, let me introduce y'all to DuJiangYan in Sichuan, China. This is the world's first large scale irrigation, flood control works. It was completed 2400 years ago. The only question I have is what was Li Bing's intention at the time. He was governor of Sichuan then. Did he do it as flood control and reaped irrigation as a side benefit or was it an irrigation project that tamed a river (Min Jiang). Said project is still working fine today 2400 years later! If that doesn't answer the question "Can Asians think/innovate" I don't know what will!
Yes, but that wasn't the question. Singapore is highly conformist and is successful mostly due to geographic reasons and it's willingness to do any trade including arms. That trade underpins its social policies, such as HDB housing, which are very good and do lead to stability in society.
"Mostly due to geographic reasons"... Jesus. Absolutely disgusting view. Can you name another nation on Earth that did something similar as going from having the same average per person income level as Tanzania, where the average adult had only two years of formal education, where 60% of the population lived in bonafide slums, to what Singapore is today within just a single generation? You gotta stop thinking in stereotypes friend, and give people credit where it's due, the same way I bet you probably automatically do when givinv credit to white societies. These peeps didn't just sleep their way through it and "geography" magically did all the the work. No matter what the circumstances, no matter what the situation, some minds have developed a way of quickly latching on to just one aspect basing their whole understanding on that. If I gave you an example of a man who was homeless but then worked his butt off and did all the right things and paid attention and timely chased all the opportunities that came his way and became a huge financial success, you'd probably say "big deal, he's in New York, it's a great location, bound to happen to anybody in that sort of geography". Go and comprehensively improve the lives of the poor in your town or city, then say something. 3mins rant over. Until we meet again muahahaha
Singaporeans lack initiative -i.e. they cant think for themselves and get things done for themselves. They need someone to tell them what to do. LKY responded that Singaporeans built Singapore because we took a lot of initiatives and did not listen to the British.
Totally wrong. Only Americans are inventive. Europeans are not. It is not the race, it is the culture. And the reporter will never label the Europeans as such. It is typical standard Western arrogant bigot view.
Its not couldn't teach his children...if you're a parent yourself you will know what it means. If your kids failed in life, its not always the parents fault. When i said failed, it means major issues such as cheating, killing. LKY whether u like him or not, has a solid record that many world leaders could only wish for. Lets face it, we wouldn't be here if not for him. Cannot imagine us under some badly run government. Yes our government isnt perfect but its better than many out there...which country in the world has a perfect government? I wont exchange my citizenship for any other countries in the world.
A brilliant man.
For his faults, miss this guy, sharp as a tack and a great leader who did not believe in dogma
what was his biggest fault

Now china and asia is rising while west is fast declining.. this has ahe very quite well

how does a conformist society make 2 top 10 universities, which requires a lot of innovation?
The criticism is not wrong though.
Totally wrong. Only Americans are inventive. Europeans are not. It is not the race, it is the culture. And the reporter will never label the Europeans as such. It is typical standard Western arrogant bigot view.
Which criticism are you referring to? The correspondent's of Singapore society or Mr Lee's of the correspondent's comment?
There is no substitute of independent intelligence and wisdom which goes very straight and correct in all respects 💓
Couldn't teach his children harmony and went about preaching other parents

Because the white always think they are supremacy..😂

Of the West lecturing the East. The rise of the Dragon and the East has just begun. Get ready to cop it sweet for the next several hundred years.
