Lee Kuan Yew; The Crucial Years
This book contains practically everything that Lee Kuan Yew, first Prime MInister of the Republic Of Singapore, has said Politically, since his student days at Cambridge to the year 1970, and is more that a political biography of a remarkable Asian statesman. It is also a practical handbook for politicians in developing countries throughout the world. For Lee Kuan Yew has successfully created an independent multiracial nation while tackling ( and solving) problems which confront all developing states. His efforts have made Singapore's standard of living the highest in Asia, after Japan's.
Lee's political biography is also the history of modern Singapore ( now among the world' s biggest ports), which was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles 174 years ago. To provide a background for Lee Kuan Yew's speeches, there are chapters on the Malays, the Chinese and Malaysia. The account ends in 1970 when Singapore was faced with a gloomy prospect- the withdrawal of British troops in 1971, and the necessity of creating, almost overnight, a credible Singapore defence force.
