it was not about the leader, it's about the people. the leadership emerges from the people and that's a reflection of the caliber of the people

I lived in Singapore from 1985 till 1992 and went back there from 1999 to 2001. It took me a while to understand this man but I realized in time that he was undoubtedly a great politician

Suresh Dhawan :
The leader sets the direction and use their decision making power to steer the nation in that direction. People will move in every direction if the leaders are not strong. Leaders plan, secure resources, find partners, so that the people can execute and put it into action. Never discount the importance of the leader. An orchestra needs a leader for direction. A leader facilitates the creation of music. Without the leader you get a lot of noise.

Singapore became a successful postcolonial state for the same reason Canada, America, Australia, new Zealand did. The vast majority of Singaporeans on the day of independence were Chinese immigrants, not downtrodden and abused natives. Like the vast majority of Americans after the revolution were British immigrants, and the "success" of the country was measured by the wealth of the immigrants, not the poverty of the natives. The same in Canada, Australia, new Zealand.

One thing people overlook is that larger the state to be governed, more difficult is governance
