Casual Wit And Wisdom Of Lee Kuan Yew (Hardcover )

Lee Kuan Yew played the pivotal role in Singapore's transition from British Crown Colo to independent developing nation, and on to the economically powerful and diplomatically influential citystate it is today. Throughout this surprising and at times painful journey, he has proved a charismatic and occasionally controversial leader. Lee is a conviction politician whose speeches are unambiguous, characterful and eminently quotable; this collection of almost 600 short quotations provides a compelling summary of his views on a wide range of topics from Singapore's past, present and future.
