The fascinating thing about Lee Kuan Yew is that he took three important decisions right at the beginning for Singapore. Each one of them now seems obvious; each one at the time was deeply contested. Number one: he said everyone was going to speak English in Singapore. There were lots of people who said to him at the time, “No, no, we need to have our own local language. We need to be true to our roots.” He said, “No. English is the language of the world. We’re all going to speak English.” Secondly, he said we’re going to get the best intellectual capital from wherever it exists in the world, and we’re going to bring it to Singapore. Again, people said, “No, we should stand on our own two feet. You’re also bringing in the British. Should we do that, given all the disputes we’ve had?” And he said, “No. I’m going to bring in the best from wherever they are, and they’re going to come to Singapore.” The third thing he did was say there was going to be no corruption. One of the ways we’re going to do that is by making sure our political leaders are well paid, which they are. Singapore’s leaders are the best paid in the world. And there’s going to be zero tolerance for corruption. Those are the three decisions that were instrumental in building Singapore as it is today.
