Quote:
Berikut 25 kutipan yang menginspirasi dari Lee Kuan Yew. Maaf agan2 quotenya ga ane translate ke bahasa Indonesia, khawatir mengubah makna, cause my english too bad. Kalo ada yg mau bantu translate ane taruh di pejwan.
Quote:
Selama masa kepemimpinan Lee sepanjang tiga dasawarsa, Singapura berkembang dari negara golongan Dunia Ketiga menjadi salah satu negara maju di dunia, walaupun dia mempunyai sedikit penduduk dan minimnya sumber daya alam. Lee kerap berkata bahwa satu-satunya sumber daya alam Singapura adalah rakyatnya dan ketekadan dalam bekerja. Ia dihormati oleh banyak rakyat Singapura.
Let's Cekibrot :
Spoiler for 1:
What I fear is complacency. When things always become better, people tend to want more for less work.
Spoiler for 2:
Every person, genius or moron, has a right to reproduce himself.
Spoiler for 3:
I wish I can meet my wife in the hereafter, but I don’t think I will. I just cease to exist just as she has ceased to exist.
Spoiler for 4:
I don’t believe in love at first sight. I think it’s a grave mistake.
Spoiler for 5:
Whoever governs Singapore must have that iron in him. Or give it up. This is not a game of cards.
Spoiler for 6:
I do not yet know of a man who became a leader as a result of having undergone a leadership course.
Spoiler for 7:
I always tried to be correct, not politically correct.
Spoiler for 8:
I started off believing all men were equal. I now know that’s the most unlikely thing ever to have been…
Spoiler for 9:
Repression can only go up to a point.
When it becomes too acute, the instruments of repression, namely the army and the police, have been proved time and time again in history to have turned their guns on their masters.
Spoiler for 10:
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.
Spoiler for 11:
I have been accused of many things in my life, but not even my worst enemy has ever accused me of being afraid to speak my mind.
Spoiler for 12:
One man one vote is a most difficult form of government… Results can be erratic.
Spoiler for 13:
I was a product of the times, the war, the occupation, the reoccupation, my 4 years in Britain, admiring but at the same time questioning whether they are able to do a better job than we can.
Spoiler for 14:
If you deprive yourself of outsourcing and your competitors do not, you’re putting yourself out of business.
Spoiler for 15:
Singaporeans, if I can chose an analogy, we are the hard disk of a computer, the foreign talent are the megabytes you add to your storage capacity. So your computer never hangs because you got enormous storage capacity.
Spoiler for 16:
You know, the cure for all this talk is really a good dose of incompetent government. You get that alternative and you’ll never put Singapore together again: Humpty Dumpty cannot be put together again…
Spoiler for 17:
Political reform need not go hand in hand with economic liberalisation. I do not believe that if you are libertarian, full of diverse opinions, full of competing ideas in the market place, full of sound and fury, therefore you will succeed.
Spoiler for 18:
If you can’t force or are unwilling to force your people to follow you, with or without threats, you are not a leader.
Spoiler for 19:
I ignore polling as a method of government. I think that shows a certain weakness of mind – an inability to chart a course whichever way the wind blows, whichever way the media encourages the people to go, you follow.
Spoiler for 20:
If Singapore is a nanny state, then I am proud to have fostered one
Spoiler for 21:
With few exceptions, democracy has not brought good government to new developing countries…What Asians value may not necessarily be what Americans or Europeans value. Westerners value the freedoms and liberties of the individual.
Spoiler for 22:
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.
Spoiler for 23:
I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn’t be here today.
Spoiler for 24:
I make no apologies that the PAP is the Government and the Government is the PAP.
Spoiler for 25:
Freedom of the press, freedom of the news media, must be subordinated to the overriding needs of the integrity of Singapore, and to the primacy of purpose of an elected government.

Setiap manusia biasa tentu punya kelebihan dan kekurangan, begitu juga Lee Kuan Yew. Singapura dibanding besarnya Indonesia bukanlah apa-apa. Belajar untuk kebaikan dan kemajuan bisa dari siapa saja. Kesombongan hanya akan menghancurkan.
