Unwavering Dedication to Singapore THE BIG IDEAS OF LEE KUAN YEW Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy 9th Anniversary Conference On the occasion of his 90th Birthday, 16 September 2013 It was a great day of reflection and learning in this historic conference. Stellar cast of speakers and some of the best minds sharing the impact of Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s ideas on the history of Singapore and the continuing relevance of many of his key ideas for the future of Singapore. Big Ideas discussed were the Role of the State; Rule of Law; Diplomacy; Geopolitics; Foreign Policy and Governance & Implementation. We live today in a different world that demands of us new ideas and approaches. But there is one quality of Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s that we can, and need to, aspire towards : Mr Lee’s unwavering and total dedication to Singapore, to keeping Singapore successful so that Singaporeans may determine our own destiny, and lead meaningful, fulfilling lives. Launch of The 9-Volume Collection “《新加坡选择了李光耀》 Singapore Chose Lee Kuan Yew”. The collection is unique. It is a condensed selection of Mr Lee’s speeches, interviews and dialogues, organised under 9 themes that offer close insights into his political career and personal life: as a good friend and colleague, a caring husband and father, and a far-sighted and resolute statesman committed to Singapore’s success. Mr Lee’s authentic voice comes through in this collection — whether it is in mobilising Singaporeans to build a nation, or his strategic grasp of global matters. It is a voice not of political correctness, but a voice of absolute conviction. A collection of Mr Lee’s statements is, at heart, an attempt to capture the honesty, courage and profound wisdom that underlie his every word. It is this voice that leads many leaders around the world to describe Mr Lee as a true global statesman. Mr Lee’s most significant achievement is to show the way forward in building a nation. He is not just a man of ideas; he is a man of action and an idealist with a deep sense of purpose. We take inspiration from the courage and determination of Mr Lee with the same unwavering dedication to Singapore and our future. With my deepest respect: Mr Lee Kuan Yew, May you be blessed with happy & healthy long life.
