Another interesting fact is that right versus left wing politics is not really a thing in Singapore. The country basically Cherry Picks the policies that it wants. A bit of socialist, a bit of capitalist, a bit of democracy, a bit of autocracy. Whatever provides the benefits and meets long term objectives. Another feature is the Sovereign Fund - tax dollars invested and multiplied for maximum payback to the citizens.

Democracy is better than a dictator, but a dictator who dedicates everything to his people and country, with the competency to match, can be better than a democracy. It’s just not something to actively aim for

Fun fact Singapore is the only country in the world that became independent despite not wanting to be independent. Malaysia basically kicked them out of the country. The malaysian government was quite racist at the time didn’t want a cosmopolitan Malaysia so they kicked out Singapore because LKY wasn’t willing to go along with it.

It works because their leaders base their decisions solely on what benefits their people and country. Not on personal gains

Fact is Singapore is not a democracy (western version) but is viewed as one by the West because of strategic interest. Shows no system is better than the other. What is important is improving the life of its population. Long live Singapore

LKY is one of the few leaders in the world who left an entire country in a prosperous state as his legacy.

Many claim LKY is a dictator. In a way, yes. An elected dictator, he ruled with an iron fist. Only in a dictatorship can progress be this fast. 60yrs was all it took, from GDP/cap of $600 to $88k. This dictator believes in "justice", equality, prosperity and progress for his people. Nothing stands in the way of these objectives. Individual rights is nothing, the rights of the masses override that. But Singapore is also not without its unhappy people, because like I said policies are focused to benefit the masses.

lol the only country where the opposition party is sued out of existence via defamation for doing what they are supposed to do, criticise the government. As successful as Singapore is, it comes at a price.

He isn’t very far away from who Donald Trump is as a person, a very autocratic person and authoritarian, just like Trump. He just wants everything to work just like Trump, he doesn’t like politics, just like Trump, he just wants to drain the swamp. Literally in Singapore’s case we were a swamp.

The American equivalent to him is Trump. Most of the times that system of governance does not work. Singapore was lucky.
