Former prime minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew, on how he become a visionary leader

2011-07-12T18:44:00.002+08:00

"From my empirical observation of people and leaders, I believe 70 to 80 per cent of a person's capability, his proclivities, his temperament, is genetic. The day you were conceived, at least 70 per cent was already fixed in the womb. If you are bound to be a capable person, you will grow into a capable person. If you are bound to be slow, you will be slow. Nothing can change that. You can't choose your parents.....

I do not believe, contrary to what American books say, that you can teach people to be leaders. I think you are a born leader or you are not a leader. You can teach a person to be a manager, but not a leader. They must have the extra drive, intellectual verve, an extra tenacity and the will to overcome.

So, I would put it briefly and say 70 per cent of what I am, I was born with it. Twenty to 30 per cent was what I learnt to be what I am."

Leadership and Commitment

2011-07-03T16:36:00.000+08:00

‎"You can certainly command without that sense of commitment, but you cannot lead without it. And without leadership, command is a hollow experience, a vacuum often filled with mistrust and arrogance." Former army chief of staff Eric Shinseki

Importance of Strong Economy, Defence and Leadership

2011-07-02T14:04:00.003+08:00

“Without a strong economy, there can be no strong defence. Without a strong defence, there will be no Singapore. To maintain a strong economy and a strong defence all on a narrow base of a small island with over four million people, the government must be led by the ablest, most dedicated and toughest. The task will become more complex as more educated and confident electorate believe that Singapore has created a sturdy base and need not be as vulnerable as before. What will never change is that only the best can lead and secure such a Singapore.” – Lee Kuan Yew

Kalinin K-7

2011-02-13T21:09:00.002+08:00

Kalinin K-7 (Ukrainian: Калінін К-7) was a heavy experimental aircraft designed and tested in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s. K-7 was of unusual configuration with twin booms and large underwing pods housing fixed landing gear and machine gun turrets. In the passenger version, seats were arranged inside the 2.3 meter (7 ft 7 in) thick wings. The airframe was welded from KhMA chrome-molybdenum steel. The original design called for six engines in the wing leading edge but when the projected loaded weight was exceeded, two more engines were added to the trailing edges of each wing, one right and one left of the central passenger pod.

Meaning of NCC Day

2010-07-01T19:01:00.001+08:00

NCC day coincides with SAF day on 1st July 2010. It marks the 42nd year since the inception of the Singapore Armed Forces. It is a day for members of the armed forces to reaffirm their pledge of loyalty and dedication to the SAF as well as the nation.

In a recent book on “How to build a nation”, a conversation with MM Lee Kuan Yew. I quoted, in page 50, “the British Empire was supposed to last another 1,000 years in Southeast Asian, but collapsed when the Japanese army came in 1942”. Mao Zedong, chairman of the communist party of China, once said, “Power came from the barrel of the gun.” The Japanese demonstrated this; the British did not.

It underlies the importance of having a strong army.

Is there a need for the comfort of the soul?

2010-05-23T07:27:00.001+08:00

Exchange between Dr Goh Keng Swee and the reporter in an interview in 1984.

Reporter: Is there a need (for souls)?

Dr Goh Keng Swee: Yes yes, there is a need, but you must never ask the government to provide the need for the soul.

Reporter: How does the soul come out?

Dr Goh Keng Swee: When their tummy is full, then certain people will think more than material goods.

Reporter: Right now. Is it happening now?

Dr Goh Keng Swee: When they go to arts, music some will go to philosophy. Whatever, I don’t think here you want the government to provide (the you know) for the comfort of the soul. This is very dangerous, after sometime, (the government) we will tell you what to think.

Self-Determination Theory (SDT)

2010-04-23T23:06:00.002+08:00

"To be self-determined is to endorse one's actions at the highest level of reflection.

When self-determined, people experience a sense of freedom to do what is interesting, personally important, and vitalizing."
