When asked in the late '80s about what made Singapore what it was then and now (I would assume) he simply stated these 4 values ; so simple yet so profound :
1. Good Governance.
2. Meritocracy
3. Anti-Corruption
4. Pragmatism.
In 4 points, he encapsulated so brilliantly Singapore "TODAY" to the person who asked him point blank.
A foreign reporter.
Singapore was very blessed and ridiculously fortunate to have such a leader of immense stature, iron will and vision.
We should not let his legacy down.
