      I appreciate the author's enthusiasm to get his start writing. This is nothing more than a very short polemic for Lee Kaun Yew. There are as many listed quotes about the man as there is text written by the author himself.

    Lee Kuan Yew - Ethan Ang

    INTRODUCTION

    This ebook is written with one purpose and that is to create awareness to the world regarding the life of the great Lee Kuan Yew.

    Valuable life lessons can be learnt just by getting to know Lee Kuan Yew. Do not believe what I say, as I am just an ordinary Singaporean.

    But let's see what Mr. Barack Obama, president of the United States has to say...

    Lee is one of the legendary figures of Asia in the 20th and 21st centuries. He is somebody who helped to trigger the Asian economic miracle. (October 29, 2009).

    Or how about George H.W. Bush, 41st president of the United States...

    In my long life in public service, I have encountered many bright, able people. None is more impressive than Lee Kuan Yew. (endorsement of Lee’s My Lifelong Challenge: Singapore’s Bilingual Journey, 2011)

    In this short, unofficial biography of Lee Kuan Yew, you will discover the following:

    ... chronicle of his life

    ... unforgettable quotes by LKY

    ... how he governed Singapore

    ... what other leaders say about LKY

    ... the future of Singapore

    Here is one of his greatest quotes:

    Even from my sick bed, even if you are going to lower me into the grave and I feel something is going wrong, I will get up.... 1988 National Day Rally Speech.

    This quote from Lee is truly inspirational. It shows intense passion and commitment.

    As I am researching and writing the draft on 19th Mar 2015, I am actually on hospitalization leave. I was in the hospital for the past 5 days due to severe dizziness.

    The quote is what kept me going.

    In fact, I always recall the above quote whenever I  needed a recharge in my life.

    The majority of the contents are researched from the internet and copyright infringement is not intended.
