Success Stories LEE KUAN YEW (2001)
88th birthday of the granddaddy of Singapore. A timely post on this DVD boxset (but what's a boxset without collectibles?) A Hong Kong production that gives a fair reflection of Lee Kuan Yew, despite street impression that Hong Kongers are suspicious of the man. One line that ends the two part documentary, "Detractors will say of course that things could have been better. But then... conjecture has no part in history."
No matter our political inclinations, we should be mindful that Singapore is what she is today because of the leadership and brilliance of Lee Kuan Yew. No one can doubt his sincerity in building a stable and prosperous country, despite the ever presence of a heavy hand. It will be a great pity if future generations and a possible non-PAP ruling party will to rub off Lee's contributions to this nation as mere authoritative luck.
