Singapore achieved independence in 1965. Lee Kuan Yew, its first Prime Minister, turned it into the metropolis it is today. In 2013, in the twilight of his life, he put down his thoughts on the nations of the world and what he saw were possible futures for them.
This week, we discuss the renowned statesman's views on Europe, India, Japan, Korea, and most importantly, Singapore. This is part of a two-part series.
