I'm actually white myself, I'm just not stupid enough to think it's easy to build a successful state

He was a good leader and I have a lot of respect for him, but don't lose sight of the fact that his "state" was just ONE FUCKING CITY.

There are plenty of countries out there with capital cities that you could consider basically 1st world despite the rest of the country being backwards shitholes. We don't praise their leaders for being able to not fuck up one single city. In LKY's case one city was all he had to work with.

Who knows if he would have been as successful if he'd been working with a much larger country of 15-30+ million.

All Lee Kuan yew was listen to his advisors for everything since asides from law since he was a lawyer he had some pretty synonym-of -cringe tier understanding of things.

>>2565691
Britain set up most of it up since they ate solely the reason Singapore existed in the first place. Also one of the busiest ports on earth so big bonus there.

If that was the case then why don't western governments do just as well from listening to their advisers?

>>2565733
Britbong mad that singapore seceded

>>2565556
Not any more than Mori Arinori or Ataturk.

LKY's accomplishments are noteworthy but not of vital significance. What he did was to turn an exploited third world country into an exploitative first world country. Rather than try to find an equitable path for development, he ensured that Singapore would join the ranks of the big boys by becoming part of the capitalist-imperialist avant garde. In doing so, he brought Singapore once more under the heel of western capitalism, albeit in a less humiliating position than the city had been during the British period.

>>2565749
But they do though

>>2565749
Coz his advisers were GOAT, and when all of his first cabinet left LKY in 1980s he wasn't as great anymore

>>2565930
And LKY then got surrounded by yes men.
