- Addressing Singapore's Parliament, on a report by the Committee of Privileges on 15 February, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong spoke about the need to safeguard democratic institutions in the country. Speaking about how 'trust in the political system has all but broken', Singapore PM also referred to India and said, 'Nehru’s India has become one where, according to media reports, almost half the MPs in the Lok Sabha have criminal charges pending against them, including charges of rape and murder.'

PM Lee should be given an award for telling the truth. We Indians should restrain our urge to oppose and listen and try to understand, contemplate on his speech.
I agree.. we don't have these kind of discussions
Singapore is black money haven , they talk very nice but does exactly opposite in real life. You get award for truth when you practice what you preach and sadly that's not the case here , SG is a capital of global dirty money and the same corrupt politicians of India, China , Asean hides thier money under the same PM Lee govt safely. Hypocrisy or fake integrity preaching?
Who is he to lecture India on democracy?
We are not perfect, in fact no one is perfect, but our country is better than communist Singapore.
S.Chaubey how better?
@@s.chaubey8098 I think you've got your facts inside out. The Truth hurts, so man up and accept that politicians in India lie through their teeth! That integrity and the country before party has been buried so deep recently, that the current government can't find it. And if they did, they wouldn't recognise it
People in India criticising the speech should come out of their fake nationality shell and introspect on the fact .
but... LHL already said those allegation of india politician are politically motivated ie. politicians trying to defame each other in order to win election.
Why election commission is not making mandatory to be graduate to contest elections
Ikr, when Kejriwal was scolded by Singapore about talking on them. So when India talks about Singapore's internal matter, they are right to scold us, while when they talk about our internal matter, and when we protest, hathat kina ethire Bharatiya maanankara "fake nationality shell" hei gala?
I wouldn't call it fake nationality. Of course we get hurt when someone says bad about the country but it doesn't mean we should be oblivious to the facts. Unfortunately he is right and he was quoting from media (most probably Indian media)
"Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."
Those protesting this speech are the real anti-nationals. They'll let the country go to hell and won't seek improvements, only because of their loyalty to their modern day Fuhrer
Nothing that Mr. PM of Singapore said is offensive or false in anyway! Sounds like convincing and a very composed intellectual. Keep up the good work Mr Pm
Our EAM called their envoy to convey that we cannot stand bitter truth being spoken. And our intelligentsia has become collusivwly silent. There are no TV or channel debates happening on this issue. Looks like the bitter truth suits nobody. Not the BJP, not the Congresss, not the Republic TV, not the NDTV, not Arundhati Roy, not Anna Hazare.

"The quality of a country's democracy hinges on its peoples values; what they judge to be right or wrong, what they deem important, the causes they espouse, the ideals they embrace". Great words by Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
True. Our values need to be mature. In Our national discourse, it is fine if our Presidents, PMs, CMs, Cabinet Ministers attend marriages, funerals, inauguration etc. But they do have time to push the criminal justice process so that obvious criminals (e.g. those responsible in 1984 riots) are brought to justice.
Truth will be truth. And one person/country alone can have authority over it. You can keyboard rage and crib. I rest my case.
PM leaves out the well known corrupted China government more than half their oversea ambassador are following porn star and making lewd comments on twitter. Is he afraid of china boycott.
Very true. So zero hope of India being a fair and just society
Singpore PM is paid $1 Million US$ per year so there is no need to worry about Corruption, and the MP's are paid $500,000 and these people talk about corruption. Tell these Politicians to take a salary of just 10% of this and lets see how corrupted they will be.
PM Lee speaks of the moral decay in Israel's Knesset, allegations of vote rigging in the US, failure of Westminster i the same speech. If indeed Singapore's High Commissioner has been summoned, I hope it to express felicitations on a fine speech.
Elections in Singapore are also designed to let one party win.

Excellent speech, by all standards.
Indian leaders especially the ruling party should make an introspection and take corrective steps, instead of blindly and ignorantly jumping out to downplay the lessons of this great speech.
Incidentally BJP has the lowest % of MPs with criminal cases.

Majority of Indians agree with the Singapore pm ... Majority of Indians in politics will not.
This speech should be included in indian schoolbooks. Also translated and circulated amongst all politicians of india. I hope they have called in the high commission to congratulate on an eye opening speech.

He is right on everything except one. Only politicians are not corrupt, so do we. The moral value of people has faded, so how it possible not to reflect the same in politicians..
very true
I believe that our system is responsible for this too. As prosperity , brings out the best in people , adversity brings out worse. Simplistic example of this can be seen in how people behave in an airplane vs in train. We have been living in adversity for so long, it has corrupted us.
True man.
Very true. Our elected leaders are reflections of us
How can u compete with china with decayed morality
Historical speech by the honorable Singapore PM God bless you Sir.
Truth hurts. It's important to raise our standards rather entering into a contest.
Non of us votes for capitalism and anyone tries to make politics capitalism based instead of religion. They says that you are selling country
Respect to Singapore PM for the excellent speech! Of-course Indian democracy and its values requires honest introspection
That's putting it mildly!
Lol Singapore don't have corruption because Mr pm is sole dictator and he has all the power no need for corruption. Why be a thief when u can be a king
@@justkillitho4528 Just look at history how many kings looted their pwn country men...even today so many dictators are living in luxury when their country people are in utter poverty....Where as Singapore stand tall as beacon, though its Democratic nation, my respect again to its leaders and people. I cannot compare India with Singapore its very sad and bitter truth!
Wish our PM can speak like this.
Our PM is well spoken, unfortunately he uses it to embellish his failures and his parties shortcomings.
You may support BJP or the left/Congress, but the Indian politician from all parties across all regions deserve this reflection.
I'm sure they 'll summon the S'pore ambassadors and high commissioners and show resistance - because they're the ones in power.. But the world somehow needs to know that the average Indian citizen agrees with this truth and are helpless to change it.
Helpless?
Do you vote for better polices or judges? Does your community vote for it? Why religion, freebies, babas/mollas wins you elections?
Why India hate capitalism?
Politicians are mirror of the society.
You don't fight for it you don't get it in democracy simple.
But... LHL already said those allegation of india politician are politically motivated ie. politicians trying to defame each other in order to win election.
You may be talking about your country and I fear most so called democratic or non democratic country are in the same situation on the issue of honesty, integrity and country above self...
I concur with you on the helplessness of the average people in demanding decent services from government staffs and MPs.
Democracy must protect by institution of parliament with honest and trustworthy and good value system

Singapore itself is a "democracy" in name, so yes, we find Mr. Lee hypocritical
Bcoz, he can not raise Rs 4.31 Cr in auction as Our PM did. He does not have RICH person like Laljibhai Patel, chairman of Dharmanandan Diamonds Pvt Ltd, who bought Modi's much- famed pinstripe suit for Rs 4.31 crore in a public auction here.
Sir, kindly come once to India and give all of our politicians a lecture on why it's important to and how to end bureaucracy, red tape and irregularities in govt. policies. 🙏
I.Ramamurthy
Singapore prime minister is really great for his excellent speech. India has to learn many things from a small country Singapore. Indias objection is meaningless and baseless since we are seeing the arrogance of MPs in the parliament and they never respect the law of the land and did not behave like a people representative. 50 percent of MPs are.corrupt and criminals in India.. It is good that singapore Prime minister has advised in a gentle manner reminding Indian MPs how to be responsible and accountable for the people of India. 80 percent of the Indian politicians are uncivilized and have no knowledge of Indian constitution and misleading the public due to their inefficiencies. Indian democracy should be modified with restricted democracy just like Singapore. I see many indian politicians talk about democracy every time but they are the first persons to violate the laws. Unless Indian politicians are not punished without any bias for their criminality in collusion with judiciary, eminent advocates, bureaucrats,police, etc.democracy will.be crumbled in India very soon. I believe that Singapore prime minister is giving masterly coaching for Indian politicians how the democracy should function. I doubt whether Indian politicians take the valuable clue from singapore prime minister.
Jai Hind Bharat Mata ki jai
everybody is quiet when a member is addressing the house unlike India where everybody is groaning, moaning, shouting, screaming... thats why good moral values so much important.
For that,the speaking person must speak intellectually (our pm can use his speech as a learning material..!)
"Values" is the word you don't hear nowadays in Indian Leadership...
"Govern" is a word you do not hear in Indian Leadership also. We hear of " Serving" the people. That is the difference between veiled Dictatorship of Singapore and Democracy of India

Beautiful speech by the Hon Prime Minister of Singapore. He has outlined what keeps democracy flourishing in the long-run - trust.
What a wonderful msg worded fluently with apt words in apt places .. hats off
We in India need leaders like PM Lee who spoke about Democracy in detail.
Singapore PM loong was mathematician , studied Public administration and had worked in military
Truly a leader
Remember the phrase been coined by someone.."we dont want harvard we want hard work", well PM Lee are highly educated and work hard thats why singapore is a successful state
The truth should be listened ............ The P.M.of Singapore is speaking an open truth .
Truth,...modi is nothing infront of nehru..
True. The seed he sowed for socialism made a third class poor country as we are. Modi, indira, kya cheese hay..
no point justifying who is better or who is greater, this is very narrow mind,
Singapore PM is right what he said n is a fact-people of India need to think about it like what kind of people they are sending as MP in our parliament n who are ruling us
And also which ideology and pm they are selecting
*"He is a phd in math by the way, not your katta weilding rajniti here, mind you!"*
Well - he’s spot on. Look at who sits in the Indian Parliament…..
This is the quality of speech that should be spoken in a house. Not making loud noises and what to wear, what to eat, what someone died half a century ago is responsible (blame games), labeling activists as Anti -indians, khalistani terrorist and urban naxals. Not budgeting that chops funds for the Poor and selling govt entities. Allowing FDI in non-technical sectors, demonitising currency for political gains. But, on republic, inclusive schemes. India is not singular to govern it like a state. It's is a union where culture changes every 100km in its length and breadth.
God gave Brain to some rest he covered with ....
Singapore, the biggest FDI of India and the most powerful passport cannot even enter India without a visa
What a spectacular speech .. what he said about India, in particular, is pretty much the truth. There is a gradual decay in the values of democracy, trust and overall patriotism staying true to the nation beyond politics. It reflects in every facet of society be it interfacing with government or services that are from the government .. rampant corruption, crime and overall religious intolerance.
Truth is always bitter!
Even though Singapore is a autocracy, Lee has certainly said something that rings true with us.
19th & 20th century norms cannot be taken as universal truth in 21st century.

And our people themselves help western narratives.
*"If Indian Govt moves to oppose/ 'sharply reacts' to this balanced and fair speech, they will only hurt their own credibility. Jai Hind!🇮🇳"*
"Edit: Since I am seeing ccp trolls jubilating in the comment section, let me tell you he also talks about the faliure of US popitics, allegations and counter allegation of voting farud, UK's incompetence of their PM and Israel. It may seem he left ccp out of criticism but in truth he didnt even consider it as its not a democracy. However, at one point he simply said any country lead by a single party will go to astray at one point. We know what that means. So no, he didnt spare any country. So dont try to make it any contest."
He already said those allegation of indian politician are politically motivated ie. politicians trying to defame each other in order to win election.
Well said.
@@nsevv He clearly said that many of these allegations were politically motivated according to the report..so we can deduce that some were truth
The problem is Singapore talks very nice and does exactly the opposite. Thats how it became the best guardian of international black money. It prays on your innocence about their real nature .
What he said about CCP was abstract while he did not hide his contempt for the chaotic and corrupt west and their colonial slave with delusions of grandeur.
"MPs must be people with integrity at core, who speak and act in upright manner. Always putting duty before self and country before party." "To me beyond anything else its important to be truthful to my country. " Such valuable words by PM Lee ! But it pains me to observe that at present all the politicians in our country are always bickering and demeaning each other, cursing and throwing dirt at other opposition parties.... Hardly caring about the welfare of the country. Root cause - multiparty system of India !
At present this multiparty system in India is acting as a curse for the country. Politicians are so engaged at fighting with each other and among the multiple parties that they are least concerned about what in happening in the world and what is good for the country and its people.
Root cause is the people of India. People of India are easily corruptible. Our leaders reflect our mindset. If India had one party one leader we would have been a brutal dictatorship.
Like multiparty system one party system will also be a curse! Anything in extreme is always dis-balanced and brings undesirable consequences.
Neither the people nor the politicians are bad. It is our system that is flawed and outdated. That is compelling everyone to be bad.
Until and unless we are proud of ourselves, try to see and respect the good in ourselves we can't uplift our country.
@@SnlkSk on the contrary we have too much pride. That is why we reacted to this speech very rudely.
Ignorant people will always have too much of negative pride and arrogance. But that should not stop intelligent and knowledgeable people to be proud in a positive sense and analyse everything in a deeper aspect and appreciate the good in ourselves as well as others too.
Root cause is what you're just doing. shifting the blame on to someone else...
A classroom lecture on ideals and morals of a perfect democracy! These lectures should be repeated from time to time to remind "We the people"
LOL😂 But my dear only problem is do you even know that Singapore is not a democracy in reality?
Should be run in schools so students understand what the true power of democracy is
@Biswa Bose if that's true they are still more democratic in there values than other countries
The Indian Govt and PARLIMENTRIANS practice the values the Singaporean parliament upholds and adhered .Salutes to Singaporean PM AND PARLIMETARIANS.
Every sentence in this speech is spectacular.
I hope Indian politicians listen to this video and do an introspection so that India can move forward in the right direction, instead of criticism.
People with right values.. that is the key..sorely lacking in India today.
Truth full to the country, what a strong state ment!!!!
Imagine Amit Shah or Modi or even Rahul for that matter giving a speech like that. They won't even understand most of the speech let alone make a speech like that. Intelligent and deep analysis. Agree or disagree but don't mock this great leader. We are truly unlucky to have such crop of bad leaders in this country.
Dear Shekar: thank you for this CZcams clip of Singapore PM speech. You made my day. My subscription/donation is fully worth, every rupee. God bless.
The crown of white hair is a blessing from heaven. Appreciate his oratorical skills & informative speech and most of all the smooth proceedings of the parliament. Indian politicians has a lot to learn from this video.
Using the sentence "It's internal affair of India" makes the job much more easier. It helps foreign ministry in avoiding bitter but true questions or allegations
LHL already said those allegation of india politician are politically motivated ie. politicians trying to defame each other in order to win election.

@@ArghyadeepPal lol....go and look what kejriwal had said. He was spreading misinformation that a third wave from Singapore could soon spread in India. That's when Singapore gave him reply. And remember, whole MEA including S Jaishankar and Govt criticised Kejriwal.
But what Singapore PM had said is not a fake news. We have a PM with accusations of 2002 Riots on him and countless other MPs and MLAs who are sitting in parliament and legislative assemblies with accusations of Murder, bribery, Rape charges on them
@@utkarshdhawal9858 Right, so that means now we have to listen to sermons form every other country out there in the world? Now they'll tell us how to govern over Odisha, Delhi, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, etc. right? Why don't we just leave our sovereignty to these foreign countries then, just let them take over our country, and rule it as they wish, just like the British did? Because now other countries suddenly have this urge to comment on Indian affairs.
Hasn't Singapore not got any issues of its own, that it is now concerned about India? Just like Trudeau commented on India, and now he himself is being a hypocrite in his own country's protests, just like US, and other European countries who always lecture India, but have a horde of issues of their own. Even Singapore has. Go and watch comment section of CNA news of Singapore, when any Western country criticises China, which has nothing to do with Singapore, Singaporeans automatically get triggered. Why? Because majority of them obviously have a pro-China and anti-India bias. So what Singapore preaches is not a justified comment, but a politically motivated comment, they will never do that for China. And since India is an easy target, so just fire away at India. To the point where they even use the Chinese racist term 阿三 for Indians
It’s a good speech that the supporters of any party can’t disagree with. It’s unfortunate that the people of India don’t expect any better from our politicians. We are happy to keep re-electing corrupt politicians over and over even when a less known but more competent person is contesting the election.
All that said Singapore is not a great example for a democracy. Father and Son have ruled for most of its independence. Opposition has never been in power.
You identify a brilliant, integral, honest, capable, trustworthy person form any party. Singaporeans will vote for them. By voting for same party or family members I think Singaporeans just recontracted their trust for progress
A great speech in spite of the reference to the Indian political system. Every democrat across the world would be inspired on hearing the speech .The values we stand for is most important
Speaking the truth ALWAYS painful to accept by those have done wrong. 100% agreed with OM Lee
Only two sentences and Indians are feeling offended.
And that coming from the government of a country which itself is a "democracy" in name only.
@@ArghyadeepPal yea but than don't take it seriously.
Stunning clarity... Our politicians should learn
He speaks the truth. Why should we as Indians object? This is time to decriminalize politics! People should stand in unison to see that our Parliament is not tainted with such members
Now see the life of Singaporeans n Indians ...things are very clear...both countries getting independence more or less at the same time...
Singapore became independent 18 years after India
Singapore did not get impendence its called separation and its not the same . In fact they wanted the British to stay
Now the debate shifts to how more dictatorial S"pore is, how more leaning towards the Chinese, how small are they in comparisn ... and gleefully shift our focus from what we have become and wilfully remain dumb to eloqoence, elegance & polish of of their PM without resorting to "dramabazi" as we have become used to.
Simply awesome,each words is like a sweet harmony of mature character and intelligence.love it,
What an amazing leader. Modi should learn from him... Lies off the cuff from the prime minister onwards... What a terrible state of affairs in the Indian parliament.
in that case first Modi has to clean the opposition clear by hook or crook just like his party does in Singapore since its inception.
@@biswabose8577 the only difference is that, the ruling party themselves need to be snow clean to then expect that from its opposition.... This is not the case in India.
I agree with PM, Lee Hsien Loong. We Indians should emulate their value system. It will be a soul searching experience for the government of India should come out with a WHITE PAPER on the matter.
No hindustan values are more supreme.
But sir their value system is to become international black money haven which they successfully became ! 😂
A lot of truth in what he said, but how can he compare a City state like Singapore to the largest democracy in the world? I don't think he would last for even a minute in India.
the lunatic bhakts will say modi has improved our image abroad and when something like this happens, they are outraged. The reality is that whoever the BJP government may summon or try to silence, we cannot stop people such as the singaporean pm from thinking such things even though he may not say it out loud. Only way we can change his mind is by changing the way we do things in our country
LHL already said those allegation of india politician are politically motivated ie. politicians trying to defame each other in order to win election.
Modiji thinking that Then I make a law 'you cannot file case against any MP / MLA problem solved ' 😁😁😁😁😁
100% agree with you sir.
Listen the entire speech of Singaporean PM:
WoW what a wonderful speech strengthening democrasy values:
Indian politicians should learn some good lesson from the Singaporean PM speech.... reality always bites
New Gujarat Model; Take a big LOAN and RUN.
He's right and instead of crying about what he said the government of India should introspect itself about the image they have internationally.
A magnificent lesson from a small, but truly great country! A great pity that our world´s "great" countries fall so short of the standards set out by P.M. Lee Hsien Loong.
Please don't teach us, we have elected 'Wishavguru' PM... And we are blindly follow him... Modi hai toh mumkin hai 🙏
This is your oblivion
@@MrRaazi He was being Sarcastic......
He is exactly right about it.The news had even said when our MP's were elected.
Being an Indian and deeply respecting my motherland I still agree with the Singapore PMs point. We need to cleanse our political system, political organizations, certain policies, etc. Like we say " swatch Bharath " means clean India.
His speech is remarkable and truth based. Please Digest The TRUTH ( it’s BITTER )
That’s it 👍 what a discipline. Parliamentarian what a thought 🙏 excellent world knows what is going in India democratic country . Some think only one person is smatter than everyone even better than god , that’s idiotic. Jai Bharat Jai people of India 🇮🇳
Modi is not as much irritated by his words about criminal cases as he is by his phrase 'Nehru's India' 🤣🤣 It hits right where it hurts the most especially just few days after Modi voiced his loud mouthed criticism of Nehru . India or Modi can not escape Nehru and his towering personality and his contribution NEVER EVER. Anywhere in the world you go India is known for leaders like Nehru , not Modi. Surprisingly Israel did not utter a word but India can not digest truth.
PM Lee's speech is also a reminder to the corrupt M'sian politicians.
A speech laden with insight and wisdom as befits a senior statesman. We Indians are behaving like a cat on a hot tin roof simply because he has exposed the malpractices within our much-advertised democracy in a precise, matter of fact way.
Having criminal elements and candidates standing in elections has almost become a badge of hounour in Indian party politics.
Politicians comes from the pool of people. If we are tuned towards corruption we will get the same kind of politicians!!
We as people of the country should also change our thinking and choose politicians who actually work and also accept their mistakes and not use Religion, Cast and specially Pakistan for their defense!!
👍🇮🇳❤🌹
Excellent speech. If MPs and every person in a position of power and authority can walk the talk as spelt out by the PM, the world will be a much better place than it is today. Unfortunately, this is only still very much an ideal that the majority of nations on the planet can aspire to but are still far from achieving albeit, Singapore is looking like one rare exception of being closer to it than others.
This is the 1st time I thank "The Print" for sharing something true that matters for India.
Absolutely right, he saying
I am From india 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I am impressed from singapore pm speech 😀😀from india
True are hard to swallow.
A very good speech by LSL.
LHL
Well, he is right and factually correct. It is our sad and harsh reality. We need to accept it in order to be able to do something about it. The only thing is, the word 'democracy' doesn't go with Singapore. As a country they have done well, but one can't use the word, 'democracy' for Singapore. And, given that they like to be factually correct, they will accept it, too.
at 7:55 what's said is quoted from media reports and is also factually correct. So summoning of the Singapore High commissioner by Indian Govt sounds hypocritical.
If the S'pore PM had instead praised, he would've been quoted by Godi media for at least 24 hours non-stop.
All said and done, except that this is an internal affair of India, Singapore is a FINE country.
Using the sentence "It's internal affair of India" makes the job much more easier. It helps foreign ministry in avoiding bitter but true questions or allegations
LHL already said those allegation of india politician are politically motivated ie. politicians trying to defame each other in order to win election.
Note that Mr. Lee brought in many countries in his discussion BUT China has been clearly left out because PM Lee is always careful not to upset China.
Another dumbo..Is China a democratic country?
China is not democracy country. However, they have successfully wipe out high end corruption inside and outside govt. Anyway, corruption can't be stop as need constantly look out to arrest and seriously
punish them.
This speech is too deep, profound and intellectually high for most politicians under the present BJP regime. Presently in India most politicians are hardly 8th standard passed and so this speech is way beyond their intellect capabilities, maybe if the Singapore PM used some words like "Muslim" Or "gobbar" Or "gau mutra" then a few politicians might be interested other then that most present Indian politicians would rather tune to randiya bhojpuri songs then listen this intellectual Singapore PM.
In India, demeaning and disregard of parliamentary norms starts from the head of the government and goes down to the bottom; Indians who voted him even after 2002 Gujrat riots need to introspect as to any morale and ethics left in them for bringing the country to the pathetic conditions it is in today. Those who still believe in him, rest in peace 🙏
Country is above the political party!!!
100% agree with him. FINALLY he chooses to speak the truth !!! Con't this way and he will win back supporters.
Singapore PM stated facts about politicians in India, US, UK and Israel. I don't see any objectionable statements in his speech. However, we should note that there is no effective opposition party in Singapore. One has to wonder what kind of democracy Singapore has.
We can't even think of such a speech in our parliament.
Only ruling dispensation and those politicians with criminal records found this speech offended; they can't fathom the truth
Truths are always hard to digest...
I support what PM Lee said.
I have this to say to our dear Indian friends /bro /sis. I had a privilege to have lunch; many years back; with 3 lawyer ladies from India and they run a charity organisation in India helping ladies whom had been raped / abused / tortured and nothing was done to help them. The culprits run free in the society because the local system ; right from top governmental body; were corrupted and local police took bribery. Hearing their account made one feel angry yet greatly sad for those unfortunate ladies where no help were available; no to mention about the local system or the governmental body in India. We stand to challenge the India government to eliminate corruption/ bribery and prove itself Clean. Thank you PM Lee for the very candid / frank and yet right to the truth about India.
