Do you know about Lee Kuan Yew? The founding father of Singapore! A living legend of the world A nation that in the last 51 years has grown from being a tiny slip of land with 100 million dollars to a global financial powerhouse with over $300 billion in funds. Over 95 per cent of its citizens are homeowners. The city state is almost corruption free and its roads are entirely litter free. Its people are among the most educated and its economy is among the most admired. There is extraordinary synergy and mutual respect for various communities, cultures and religions. This can be seen in daily interactions and festive celebrations And all this is the handiwork almost entirely of one man - Lee Kuan Yew, who has been at the helm of affairs, first as Prime Minister, then as Senior Minister and now as Minister Mentor. Lee is a leader, who despite being a soft authoritarian, commands a standing of his own. Indeed, when he talks, even President Barack Obama listens. Articulate, idealistic and unafraid to speak his mind, the 86-year-old has played a part in Chinas and Indias economic revival too. Learning: Never question the power of one! Throughout history it has been the actions of only one person who has in inspired the movement of change. Truly inspiring
