The Singapore Story: Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew, Vol. 1

It explains how Lee kept Singapore out of communist hands an how the Malaysian leader expelled him. I am now going to read the next volume about how Singapore rose from a third world country to a first world country. After that, I intend to read a volume by someone else that puts forward the view that Singapore's 'repressive' laws infringe their citizen's rights. I cannot comment more until then!

Very interesting and important factual account of a man, a country and a problem . Well worth reading.Maybe Boris Johnson should read it.?

Interesting description about he rose to power, partly in alliance with the Malayan Communist Party, but able in the end to get the better of them.Very interesting about the different communities, including several different sorts of Chinese, some English educated, some educated in Mandarin and some speaking Hokkien, a separate Chinese dialect.

Following a 3 day visit to Singapore for the first time, it was great to read the memoirs of this outstanding statesman and the progress made since independence by this country.

Interesting perspective by the father of modern Singapore.

Fascinating behind-the-scenes retelling of events surrounding Singapore's expulsion from Malaysia, with insights into problems which continue to plague Malaysia today.

Remarkable!

Amazing memoir, inspirational man, need to send a copy to David Cameron
