At least he cut down NS to 2 years instead of the 2 years 6 months during my time. And he even change the school terms due to army, wasting 3 years of my time. Of course, this is because he has a son that is going to the army and he is making it convenient for him. But at least that is a legacy. Other than that, Singapore is unaffordable to many people and more so during his legacy. Many tech companies in Singapore are like 90% PRC Chinese/ foreigners and they don't hire locals.
His political team salaries are the highest in the world so lets compare to what he has achieved as compared to other bigger countries like Malaysia,China, US etc The low birth rate and education what are the results after 40 years? Which PM has their spouse running the Nation Billion without declaring their salaries. . Pension was totally removed but they kept it for their politicians only while he and his wife claims to step down but they remain promoted higher as advisory well paid pensions as alleges.
The Lee family dispute was a distraction but it never impeded Singapore's economy progress. It is the PAP plus the excellent Civil Service that has been the foundation for Singapore's prosperity. That is the real legacy of Singapore and the forward momentum remains intact.
Which country has perfect government? I agree that under Mr Lee Hsieh Loong, Singapore did have some problems but are solvable . Compared to many other countries, Sinapore is well above the mark. Our country is clean, harmonious, and peaceful. Also, it's very safe. We are happy, and this says all.
Singapore is only great at administration. It's does not know how to run a country aside from raising taxes, importing foreigners. Their bad investing of our money still cannot beat the S&P index. BTW Singapore has the most expensive PUBLIC HOUSING in the world. Amk bto is 877k shows how much they care for Singaporeans
The new PM will be like GCT, paving the way for the next Lee family member to take over no matter what. This is a typical Chinese family ; thirst for power is always there.
If don't bother family politics keep family problem at 38 oxley Rd why bring to parliament house and waste everybody time and money we have more important issues to discuss not waste time on one HSE
Singapore belongs to Singaporeans. It is the PAP that has provided the continuity since the formation of the Republic. The public has voted the PAP back into power through successive Prime Ministers. Lawrence Wong now takes the help but it is the PAP that provides the Team. I do not see any big change in forward momentum.
Goh chok tong was part time PM and force to give up so early because AH LOONG WAITING HE WAS A GOOD PM BUT PITY HAVE TO STRUGGLE BETWEEN FATHER AND SON
Overall Lee Hsien Loong had proved he is a good and wise leader and had brought Singaporeans out of major crisis. That all that matters. Keep out of his family issues as it’s generally not anybody business.
If this scandal happened in other countries it wouldn't even be news, similarly, a minister being accused/charged for half a million gratification for over 7 years? Some things are really overblown in Singapore.
So you’re saying Singaporeans have no guts to face challenges from foreign talents? Or Singaporeans do not have the abilities to safeguard their positions, so they need privileges to secure their white collar jobs?
I don't care what ppl say but lsl like his dad lky are the pillars of how we became what we are...sure there's no perfect govt nor leader but to me he and his dad will always be respected and love by many Singaporeans and def me! Thank you Mr Lee for keeping us safe and a gem in this troubled world❤
what stained legacy are you talking about . Singapore might experience minor difficulties but it is still a top model nation that other countries should emulate . Singapore has been lucky that it always had good leaders who were not prone to corruption as most politicians tend to be .
Looking at how governments in many so called developed countries have failed their citizens miserably, I am certainly grateful for the leadership of PM Lee HL over the last couple of decades. He deserves his retirement now.
Jealously abound. Did Singapore become any worst? Nobody is perfect. Policies implemented are meant for the masses not to satisfy you alone. Don’t be selfish. Treasure what you have. People are getting more greedy. If your are happy with your life great. If not, you improve it yourself. No one is going to feed you unless you are in Malaysia your neighbour.
A swampy land has transformed into a first class metropolis , clean, corruption-free almost, first class Changi JEWEL. first class education system. first class civil service, first class leadership based on meritocracy no less, a miracle unimagined possible . It just shows what brain power could conceive and achieve miracles. Why envy? Pursue your dream! Nothing beats hard work!
@@TheJayJayYoung ,per capiita income are set, u can calculate it easily. ie $800 per capita set for comcare assistance. u have to agree to disagree tho....lol
The World Know More actually knows little & with wrong facts abut handing over premiership , so an empty vessel making most noise. Singapore 1st PM Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) handed over the his premiership to Mr Goh Chok Tong, the 2nd PM who led Sg for 18 yrs and then handed over to current PM Lee Hsien Loong. So Lee Kuan Yew never hand over premiership to his son, Lee Hsien Loong. It was Goh Chok Tong. Also this video is slanted. Tell me which country’s political key leader be it PM or President have not make any mistakes, some have very dark sides.
No. In parliamentary democracies like the UK, Singapore and many others, the prime minister is not elected by the people but chosen by the party in power.
As a leader, he did well without any doubt. As a person, he upholds strict moral values. The only thing he should not have allowed to happen is "washing dirty linen in the public". This episode brought down the image of the Lee's family. I think it is a judgement issue. Those involved should have known better（家丑不外传). They put a dent to what LKY has built.
He is a great leader. I don’t understand why people have negative feedback on him. I think these people should just stay in other countries to see the difference. Wonder these people doing great in their own job😂 or just a keyboard warrior
LKY got rid of Strikes n Riots. Under the Son; 1st Strike by CHINA FWs Bus Drivers n 1st Riot by INDIA FWs Burning Police cars in Little India. LKY Got rid of CORRUPTION. NOW Corruption even in CPIB. What a BLOODY Joke. AMK TC Right under PM's Nose ALSO Got CORRUPTION. CORRUPTION in NTUC. Look at KOM Case of CORRUPTION; Light Tap on The Wrist for 73M CORRUPTION. RIDOUT Fiasco.

all leaders irrespective of bad, mediocre, good or great will have critiques … it’s lonely at the top … if you can accept it and face it, it’s a start to be one …
His "inteernal" family issues is common in our asian culture as well as others. What matter most is that he undauntly pushed forward for Singapore and continued the legacy of his father to devote his focus to the betternent of all Singaporeans. 59 years on and we are still surviving and growing. A tribute to another legacy. Salute!
Looking at the current Malaysian political climate with ingrained and narrow religious political ideologies, Sngapore is a more respected country than Malaysia will ever be in the next 20 years😅
There is no more zero corruption since lee hsien LOONG took over so many SCANDLE from speaker parliament to keppel LTA OBS LUM CHANG ISWARAN GOH CHOK TONG SON BUT NO ONE GO TO JAIL YET

If you or anyone has a Legacy of a Leader like LKY, my opinion is LSL did the right thing by preserving the house which once belonged to LKY. The siblings are being jealous. If they honour their such honorable parents, the younger brother and sister should just abide by the decision of their elder brother, LSL. Whatever happened to the treatment or comparison of their elder brother were the actions of their parents. Why take it on their brother, as so much as to stand behind an opposition party? LKY wld not approve of any opposition during his time !! Get it, LSY 😢
The truth is, Lee Hsien Yang wanted the property demolished so that he can sell the land and make a lot of money out of it. He could potentially make 100 million out of it if he was able to pull through the deal. PM Lee on the other hand sold the property to his brother and donated all the proceeds to charity, the amount was estiamted to be 36 million
My comment here was removed. The makers of this video can’t stand some hard truth about Yang. People should know the house was originally willed to LHL but Yang wanted the house, so LHL sold it to him. Yang just wanted to sell the land for a profit.
Singapore was so blessed to have Lee Kuasn Yew and Lee Hsien Loong as prime minsters. Hsien Loong's personal disputes with his siblings does not in any way, diminish his outstanding success as prime minister. And the dispute did not suggest that there were issues with his integrity and uprightness. Nor did it affect his performance as the head of government.
Mr Lee Hsien loong is the best PM after Mr. LKY. Look at the present Singapore now. Siblings rivalry is unfortunate as this video may be viewed as part of a campaign to stain his reputation as PM of Singapore. Very sad attempt.
"The income gap in Singapore has continued to widen during LHL's tenure. It's disheartening to see the prioritization of the elite class and the disregard for lower-income families. While in the 50s/60s, LKY may have been perceived as a rare, learned, and visionary leader, today's Singaporeans are generally well-educated. Allowing ministers and top civil servants to receive such exorbitant salaries is unjust and inequitable. The incoming PM should prioritize reducing ministerial salaries by 50% and addressing the challenges faced by low-income families."
income gap widening is a worldwide thing unless in communist cuba/north korea. so what u suggest to do? ask the rich stop getting rich? tax the rich more? guaranteed u they will run road 1st. that is why the rich coming to spore cos they r over tax in thier own homeland. govt is doing right by targeting transfer to lower income by gst voucher, conservancy rebates, more housing grants, bursary, social svc(sad notl many is coming fwd), etc to reduce income gap.
FYI, high salary for politicians are the idea of LKY which he spoke out extensively ( after studying many overseas systems include USA ). In order to encourage talents into political sphere. I applaud him for taking the bold steps to do the right thing. We do not want half wit to rule the country to enrich themselves ( look at the neighbouring countries, politicians with low salary but very wealthy with asset & cash rich politicians )
@@reginalim7409 LKY pushed for Top Dollars for Top Talent in the cabinet . What do we have today. Top Dollars for Top Monkeys. Some of those duds would never be employed in the private sector. Why is the PAP unable to attract Top Talent ?
I have been thinking… Mr LHL’s greatest achievement should be the unfailing support of more than 2/3 majority votes he consistently gets from his electorate in Ang Moh Kio GRC,his grit in weathering the storms during the multiple crises during his tenure as PM and not only the respect from Singaporeans,PRs and foreign residents at home but also the admiration of countless individuals from around the world ! His love for his country , time and effort spent ,perhaps have overshadowed that on his personal relationship with his siblings so much so there was some disturbing news about disharmony over family matters. Hopefully this could be resolved after he has stepped down as PM . PM LHL has contributed much of his life to Singapore, making it one of the most competitive and prosperous countries in this current world. Criticisms against him? None I can think of. Almost infallible?
Thank you for the presentation. It is well researched. Those who are fans of Mr Lee should point out what is not right before making any accusation. Truth will prevail. No cover up will lasts.
the question you should really be asking is - how has this little exposé brought any value to its viewers? yes people are imperfect. congratulations, you've arrived on earth.
When LKY stepped down as PM became SM , he was more powerful then PM Goh . Now that LSL has stepped down as PM , do you think he is less powerful then PM Wong ?
“Then, instead of spending my time thinking of what is the right policy for Singapore, I’m going to spend all my time - I have to spend all my time - thinking what is the right way to fix them, what is the right way to buy own my supporters over, how can I solve this week’s problem and forget about next year’s challenges?” PM Lee
Loong is still retaining his hold in the Govt … he’s promoted to senior minister… just like his father… he doesn’t wish to relinquish his hold after all
USA:Singapore Apples:Mandarins 335 million:6 million (population) Federal presidential republic:Unitary dominant-party parliamentary republic 3,796,742 sq mi:283.9 sq mi ... For the rest, go to the repsective Wikipedia pages
He is never a statesman, but just a politician. A statesman has wisdom, he doesn't have wisdom. Even as a politician, he did not stand up for those who supported him. Such a disappointment for over twenty years under him.
Mr.Hsien Loong is good men,i knew him as young boy..n we stay together at Cairnhil road,his house at cairnhill Mansion and im stay at77a,cairnhill road...so. good luck mr.lee n take care n stay sefe!from saleh..ex cairnhill road.
without hearing much, this video is out to discredit Sg and LHL by people not aligned to his exemplary leadership and the west whom are against asian rising. However the progress and achievements says it all! (AGREE TO DISAGREE - Pls refrain from negative personal comments)
I know why you used the word "stained". The MBS architecture is indeed very beautiful and unique Icon but unfortunately its actually a Casino in disguise.
Ask him...how did that ATAC machine was place in Singapore before the MH370 was hijacked. So many died. How does he sleep at night? Batu Puteh???? Him and Mahathirs private deal.
Highest paid salaries for all the whole parties. His spouse HC also control the nation funds without Transparency ,Honesty , Intrigrity without accountability. China same period has new technology, whole China Lifestyle were uplifted.
You’re talking garbage. HC’s business acumen and her skilful management of Temasek has helped to boost our reserves with an increase of more than 300 billion. That’s why now our reserves stand at more than 1.2 trillion….
No transparency, honesty, integrity and accountability? Are you prepared to back up all these accusations with evidence? You have freedom of speech, but remember that freedom of speech comes with personal responsibility and accountability too.
You are right! LHL is right to retain the house as a in memory of the first PM; this happens throughout the world. What more LKY was also one of the most admired PM even among the leaders in the West! So what's so wrong about retaining his house as a legacy to a leader who had dedicated his whole life to make his country so great and at warp speed as well.
He is not born to be in this job. Lky chooses him just because he is the eldest son. Ask what has he done to singapore ??? Old folks commit suicide or work till death. This is his legacy that people are not afford to get sick or death. Karma will hit him hard for making hell living in Singapore
also into an expensive state and housing crisis which young citizens pay for using CPF leaving nothing for their retirement. Vehicle ownership beyond the reach of many except the rich
A much greater authority, Graham Allison, Dean of the Harvard's Kennedy government school, the premier school of government in the world, says that LHL is among the top world leaders in the last twenty years, if not the top. Period. ,
LHL was a very good PM. Look at the progress Singapore made, the GDP and etc. Just because of the family saga with his siblings his legacy is stained? Absolute nonsense.
LHY & LWL have been in privileged positions too long to see they had been shielded by their father's influence, unwittingly or not. LHY lent his public image to PSP but not formally joined, so he can claim uninvolved in their clowning. LWL as head of NNI published callous letters dismissing the pain of parents of conjoined twins to operate or accept certainty of death, saying the pain will pass and they can have more children - she talking as someone who never had children. Later, she threw a princess hissy fit when her letters are to be edited, just like any other articles considered for publishing.
The controversial rollout of the novel mRNA covid-19 vaccines has been exposed, with Pfizer known to have been less than transparent about its adverse effects and efficacy. Yet, the Singapore government has yet to address this issue and in fact, still pushing its citizens to go for boosters.
HAPPIEST Country Slid Down 5 Places Globally. MOST EXPENSIVE City 8 out of 10 Times in Last Decade. FREEDOM of Speech #129; BELOW Guatemala, Angola, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Kenya, El Salvador, Peru, Indonesia, Thailand, Paraguay, Haiti, Nepal, Serbia, Zambia, Malta, Malawi, Congo, Ecuador, M'sia etc etc 👍👏👏👏
When life has been good for a good part of your life, one tends to forget what life had been for our fore fathers. In a manner his rule came after the founder and Goh had laid down the mold for the nation. His rule should be compared with the overall scenario within the Asian region. One could hardly complain about today's style of news presentation, sensationalism; often misleading!
