More quotes by Lee Kuan Yew
It is not the practice, now will I allow subversives to get away by insisting that I’ve got to prove everything against them in a court of law or [produce] evidence that will stand up to the strict rules of evidence of a court of law.
Lee Kuan Yew
Without the elected president and if there is a freak result, within two or three years, the army would have to come in and stop it.
Lee Kuan Yew
I make no apologies that the PAP is the Government and the Government is the PAP.
Lee Kuan Yew
Please do not assume that you can change governments. Young people don’t understand this.
Lee Kuan Yew
There is nothing to prevent you from pushing your propaganda, to push your programme out to the students or with the public at large…and if you can carry the ground, if you are right, you win. That’s democracy.
Lee Kuan Yew
If there was one formula for our success,it was that we were constantly studying how to make things work,or how to make them work better.
Lee Kuan Yew
Having an education is one thing, being educated is another.
Lee Kuan Yew
Freedom of the press, freedom of the news media, must be subordinated to the overriding needs of the integrity of Singapore, and to the primacy of purpose of an elected government.
Lee Kuan Yew
I do not yet know of a man who became a leader as a result of having undergone a leadership course.
Lee Kuan Yew
I have no regrets. I have spent my life, so much of it, building up this country. There's nothing more that I need to do. At the end of the day, what have I got? A successful Singapore. What have I given up? My life.
Lee Kuan Yew
I don't believe in love at first sight. I think it's a grave mistake.
Lee Kuan Yew
If you can't think because you can't chew, try a banana.
Lee Kuan Yew
I don't think I made a conscious decision as a career choice. From my school days I had decided, persuaded by my parents, to prepare myself for the law. Then the Japanese occupation came and we went through three and a half years of what I would call the university of life, it was hard, it was harsh.
Lee Kuan Yew
The human being needs a challenge, and my advice to every person in Singapore and elsewhere: Keep yourself interested, have a challenge.
Lee Kuan Yew
If Aljunied decides to go that way, well Aljunied has five years to live and repent.
Lee Kuan Yew
I'm not saying that everything I did was right, but everything I did was for an honourable purpose.
Lee Kuan Yew
I have been accused of many things in my life, but not even my worst enemy has ever accused me of being afraid to speak my mind.
Lee Kuan Yew
What are our priorities? First, the welfare, the survival of the people. Then, democratic norms and processes which from time to time we have to suspend.
Lee Kuan Yew
I was a product of the times, the war, the occupation, the reoccupation, my 4 years in Britain, admiring but at the same time questioning whether they are able to do a better job than we can.
Lee Kuan Yew
Life is not just eating, drinking, television and cinema...The human mind must be creative, must be self-generating it cannot depend on just gadgets to amuse itself.
Lee Kuan Yew
