โ Scribed by Yew, Kuan; Lee
No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
The Singapore Story is the first volume of the memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew, the man who planted the island state of Singapore firmly on the map of the world. It was first published in 1999. Drawing on unpublished Cabinet papers, archives in Singapore, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and the United States, as well as personal correspondence, he gives us a vivid picture of how others viewed him: determined (โLee will bluff, bully and blackmail up to the eleventh hourโ), motivated (โChoo knew I sweated blood to master Hokkienโ), ambitious (โHe would think himself as legitimate as I was to be the leader of Malayaโ), dangerous (โCrush Lee! Put him insideโ). It is a sometimes controversial yet strangely consistent portrait of this Asian statesman.
