What kind of experience did Lee Kuan Yew have in his life?

Lee Kuan Yew is known as a designer in Singapore. 1959 came to power and was the youngest prime minister in the world at that time. In office for 3 1 year, he is the longest-serving prime minister in the world.

Lee Kuan Yew was born in dapu county, Guangdong, China, and his great-grandfather Li Muwen left his hometown to make a living in Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew was born with an indomitable character and achieved excellent results in school. 194 1 graduated from Raffles College (predecessor of the University of Singapore).

From 65438 to 0946, he went to England, studied at London School of Economics and Cambridge University successively, and got the first place in graduation with two best legal achievements. Because of his outstanding academic performance, he was awarded the Excellent Star Award by Cambridge University. From 65438 to 0950, Lee Kuan Yew was qualified as a lawyer of the Middle Temple Bar Association in London. 1959 as the prime minister of the country.

Lee Kuan Yew pays special attention to seizing every opportunity. He is visiting England. A large shipyard was surprised to find that the propulsion devices of British ships used Swiss patented products. Lee Kuan Yew deeply felt that a mountainous country surrounded by land spared no effort to explore people's intelligence and thus penetrated into every corner of the world. This incident touched him deeply. Because Singapore's geographical position is much better than Switzerland, it is the traffic artery of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, with world-class ports and extremely prosperous entrepot trade. At the end of 1970s, Singapore's economy developed rapidly, with an average annual economic growth rate of 9.4%.

Later, due to the outbreak of the oil crisis, Lee Kuan Yew launched the second industrial revolution in Singapore, shifting the strategic focus from labor-intensive to asset-intensive, from low-tech industries to high-tech industries, vigorously cultivating cutting-edge talents, focusing on supporting industries such as electronics, computers, precision instruments and petroleum machinery, and further developing Singapore's economy.

Today, Singapore is not only a commercial port, but also an electronics manufacturing center, an Asian financial center and a first-class medical center in Asia.

Singapore's foreign policy is to let "the major powers in the world know that it exists-if they are not interested in helping us-at least don't make us worse." Under the guidance of this idea, Singapore has also established a small-scale national defense, but it is enough to show its unyielding will.

Lee Kuan Yew hates corrupt people. In order to ensure the integrity of government officials, the government has taken many measures. For example, the establishment of a corruption investigation bureau. This institution is not only responsible for the integrity of 6.5438+0.5 million civil servants. We must also crack down on minister corruption. It is also very effective in combating corruption, not because the government has invested a lot of manpower (the Bureau of Investigation has only 34 detectives), nor because it has adopted particularly advanced technology, mainly because Lee Kuan Yew believes that no matter who is corrupt, he will do it, and there is no privilege or luck. In the 1970s, several ministers were imprisoned for this.

In addition, Singapore has a strict management system. For example, gifts require government officials to give them to the person in charge of gifts in the relevant departments. If the recipient wants to get the gift, he must be appraised by a special person and then charged according to the price. Every civil servant has to fill out a form to declare family property, including securities, houses, bank deposits, debts, etc. If the debt exceeds three months' salary, it will be questioned by the superior.

Lee Kuan Yew's government adopts a tolerant, harmonious and pluralistic ethnic policy and does not advocate the supremacy of Chinese. He advocated preserving the colorful traditional cultures of all ethnic groups, and at the same time advocated the integration of all ethnic groups to produce a new culture-Singapore culture.

Every time Lee Kuan Yew gives a speech, he always gives a speech in English, Chinese and Ma Song, and then in common English. He has been shaping the image of Singaporeans. Immigrants of all nationalities in Singapore now. I'm used to thinking of myself as a Singaporean.

Lee Kuan Yew often visited China and found that he had good experience, and immediately advocated its implementation. 198 1 One day, he was surprised to see that many families have audio equipment, color TVs and floor tiles, but few bookcases and bookshelves. Only one family has books and paintings. So ... Lee Kuan Yew proposed to cultivate "educated Singaporeans". On one occasion, on the occasion of the Spring Festival, Lee Kuan Yew inspected the Hongqiao area. He was shocked to find that there are actually two nursing homes in this satellite city (similar to those in our country). In this year's Spring Festival speech, he urged: "As children, they should take care of their parents, fulfill their filial piety and establish a sound social unit-family."

Singaporeans have their own way of life. In this regard,1February, 990, Lee Kuan Yew said in a CBS television program: "If you imitate the American way of life. Singapore will be completely destroyed. " Therefore, Singapore's image is gradually established by itself.

1990, Singapore celebrated its 75th birthday, and Lee Kuan Yew also entered his sixties. The second generation leading group headed by First Deputy Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong has developed into a mature group, and most of the ministers are middle-aged people with high academic qualifications. Lee Kuan Yew vividly compared the current situation of the country: I am a goalkeeper and they play forwards and centers. This means that he no longer "runs all over the field". However, if there is a "dangerous situation" in front of the door, Lee Kuan Yew's role is still very important.

Although Lee Kuan Yew has resigned as prime minister, his actions and ideas of governing the country will profoundly affect the new generation of leaders.
