Lee Kuan Yew

Famous quotes by Lee Kuan Yew:

"Look at the numbers and quality of the engineers and scientists they produce and you know that this is where the R&D will be done. The Chinese have a space program, they are going to put a man on the moon and nobody sold them that technology."

"Few doubt the U.S. will act to remove [Saddam] unless he hands over weapons of mass destruction."

"Yes, we knew that sooner or later, with the build up in the Philippines, in Indonesia and after the KKM arrests in Malaysia that they were bound to penetrate us."

"If you deprive yourself of outsourcing and your competitors do not, you're putting yourself out of business."

"It's a law which is approved of by Singapore's inhabitants and which allows us to reduce the drug problem,"

"I'm not as active as before; but enough to fight an election."

"I want a world-class opposition, not a riff-raff."

"I don't think I made a conscious decision as a career choice. From my school days I had decided, persuaded by my parents, to prepare myself for the law. Then the Japanese occupation came and we went through three and a half years of what I would call the university of life, it was hard, it was harsh."

"I learnt how people survived and how people had to submit because you need to eat and your family need to live, so I learned the meaning of power. In a sense that power comes out in the barrel of a gun and when the Japanese gun was not as big as the American gun they surrendered and the British came back."

"Well, I think if I had married a different woman I would of had a very different life. She was my partner both emotionally and intellectually. At work and at play and she brought up the 3 children that we have, brought them up to be well behaved, modest and not over-bearing children."

"Well if done a lot of hard work to try and get people to act rationally, the fact that weve had 15 deviant Muslims, plus 5 or 8 others that got away does not mean that all Muslims are deviant or extremists."

Like No One

by: Darin Zanyar

I really thought I got it this time,
I never knew a thing like this could end
I guess I'm really back to nothing
To what they use to call square one
(I'm starting all over)
Waking up alone again now
Staring at the phone and wondering how
Reading all the letters once more
Try to figure out how this could be
(All over so over)
But then there is that someone
Wherever I'm turning she's there
Like no one
You take the pain away
Like the sun
Lighting up my everyday
You are the sun the only one
Like no one
You stay around for me
Like the sun
Lighting up the way for me
You are the sun the only one you are the sun oh
I know I really shouldn't do this
I really shouldn't make the same mistake
(All over we've been there)
I don't even wanna do it
It's just a way of keeping thoughts away
(An easy solution)
It'll always be that someone
Wherever I'm turning she's there
Like no one
You take the pain away
Like the sun
Lighting up my everyday
You are the sun the only one
Like no one
You stay around for me
Like the sun
Lighting up the way for me
You are the sun the only one you are the sun
You are the sun
The only one I turn to in need
You are the sun
The only one I truly believe oh
Like no one
You take the pain away
Like the sun
Lighting up my everyday
You are the sun the only one
Like no one
You take the pain away
Like the sun
Lighting up my everyday
You are the sun the only one
Like no one
Like the sun
