Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew will be remembered as the man behind Singapore’s success. Lee oversaw Singapore’s independence from Britain and separation from Malaysia. He then transformed the independent country into one of Asia’s wealthiest and least corrupt countries. In 2010, Time magazine listed Lee as one of the world’s 100 most influential people. Whoever governs Singapore must have that iron in him or give it up. This is not a game of cards. This is your life and mine. I've spent a whole lifetime building this. The People’s Action Party which Lee co-founded has ruled Singapore for 50 years.
