Synopsis
One of the pivotal figures in the modern history of Southeast Asia, Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed away on 23 March 2015. This special collection brings together the two volumes of his memoirs: The Singapore Story and From Third World to First, that he wrote in his own inimitable style. They are an invaluable account of the history of Singapore and the region.
“No matter how friendly or unfriendly we are, the passing away of a man you know well saddens you. I cannot say I was a close friend of Kuan Yew. But still I feel sad at his demise.”
– Former Malaysia Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad
“Mr Lee Kuan Yew had worked together with the pioneering generation of Chinese leaders in opening the gate for the friendly cooperation between China and Singapore. His contributions to the China-Singapore relationship and China’s reform and opening up will surely be marked by history.”
– Chinese Premier Li Keqiang
“A far-sighted statesman and a lion among leaders, Mr Lee Kuan Yew's life teaches valuable lessons to everyone. News of his demise is saddening.”
– Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi
“Lady Thatcher once said that there was no Prime Minister she admired more than Mr Lee for ‘the strength of his convictions, the clarity of his views, the directness of his speech and his vision of the way ahead’. His place in history is assured, as a leader and as one of the modern world’s foremost statesmen”
– British Prime Minister David Cameron
