The blueprint was clear:
1. Survival before ideology
2. Pragmatism over politics
3. Merit above all
4. Zero tolerance for corruption
From third world to first in ONE generation.
Lee's legacy?
Clean streets.
Safe cities.
World-class education.
Economic powerhouse.
Lee's controversial methods worked:
"I'm not interested in democracy. I'm interested in what works."
He proved something powerful:
Sometimes the hardest choices create the greatest results.
Today's numbers are staggering:
3rd highest GDP per capita globally
World's best education system
Most expensive real estate in Asia
Higher living standards than UK/US
By 1990, the results were clear:
GDP: $1,500 to $22,000 per person
Housing: 75% in slums to 90% homeowners
Education: 50% literacy to 95%
Zero corruption achieved
Education revolution:
Taught everyone English.
Focused on tech & engineering.
Sent best students abroad.
Paid teachers top salaries.
Merit became everything.
The economic strategy was genius:
Invited multinational companies.
Offered skilled workers.
Built world's best port.
Zero corruption guaranteed.
Global trade transformed everything.
His housing policy was radical:
Demolished every slum.
Built public housing.
Forced Chinese, Malays & Indians to live together.
No ethnic enclaves allowed.
Social engineering at scale.
Then came the master plan:
1. English as main language
2. Zero tolerance for corruption
3. Forced racial integration
4. Mandatory savings for all workers
The world called him a dictator.
His first move shocked everyone:
Built the strongest military in SE Asia.
"If you want to be friends, that's great. But if you don't, we're ready."
Survival came first.
Lee Kuan Yew faced impossible odds:
No natural resources.
Hostile neighbors.
75% living in slums.
Race riots everywhere.
Malaysia cut off their water supply.
Malaysia thought Singapore would beg to return.
Lee Kuan Yew had other plans.
"We'll survive. We'll grow. And we'll show them all."
The transformation began...
In 1965, Singapore was forced out of Malaysia.
No army.
No resources.
No fresh water.
A tiny island of 2M people living in slums.
Then ONE man's ruthless vision built modern Asia's greatest success
That was horrible 🥺
