Singapore is now highly regarded as a first world country. As a matter of fact, I understand the nation has the strongest passport in the whole world! (pretty huge you'd say). Matter of fact, it was not always this way. The country used to be part of Malaysia. If you relate with anyone from the Asian nation, they highly regard one man, Lee Kuan Yew. In 1965, Singapore separated from Malaysia amidst uncertainties. Lee Kuan Yew was visibly broken in a televised address when this happened. He feared a lack of natural resources, a potentially hostile international environment and a volatile ethnic mix of Chinese, Malays & Indians. How was Yew able to navigate all of these at the time? These & more are what this episode of Baseline Bit is all about. My hope is that you learn from LKY's actions, imbibe the rationale & use them in forging ahead. Enjoy this episode!
