This presentation covers the leadership and management strategies that Mr. Lee Kuan Yew took to develop Singapore since it was expelled by Malaysia in 1965.
1) Lee Kuan Yew was one of the founders and the first secretary-general of the People's Action Party (PAP). He went on to become Singapore's first prime minister from 1959 to 1990.
2) Lee formed the PAP in 1954 to gain independence from British colonial rule. The PAP won a majority in 1959 elections and Lee became prime minister.
3) After initially merging with Malaysia in 1963, Singapore separated two years later due to political and racial tensions. Lee worked to establish Singapore's security and develop its economy in the post-independence period.
Lee Kuan Yew was the first prime minister of Singapore from 1959 to 1990. During his tenure, he transformed Singapore from a developing nation with high unemployment and poverty into a highly developed country with a strong economy. He achieved this through developing Singapore's infrastructure, growing the economy by attracting multinational companies, creating jobs, improving housing, education, and more. Some of the key developments under his leadership included establishing organizations to promote economic development, building infrastructure like the airport and port, providing public housing, and developing the education system.
This presentation is all about Lee Kuan Yew. He served as a Prime Minister in Singapore. Timeline of LKY, Famous Quotes and Statements, and Published Works are also included here.
Lee Kuan Yew was born in 1923 in Singapore to a middle-class family. He helped found the People's Action Party in 1954 and led them to victory in 1959, becoming Singapore's first prime minister. As prime minister, Lee transformed Singapore's economy and established it as a modern, wealthy nation. However, tensions caused Singapore to leave Malaysia in 1965. Lee remained an influential figure, resigning as prime minister in 1990 but continuing to offer advice. He worked tirelessly to build Singapore until his death in 2015.
Racial tensions between the Malays and Chinese in Singapore led to its separation from Malaysia. The PAP did not support policies that gave special privileges to Malays, causing disagreements. Riots in 1964 left many dead and injured. Political differences grew between the Alliance party and PAP, and the Tunku realized the disagreements could not be resolved, so he decided it was best for Singapore to leave Malaysia.
Thailand has a population of 63 million people who are relatively homogeneous. It was formerly an absolute monarchy until 1932 when a bloodless coup established a constitutional monarchy. In the 13th century, several Tai kingdoms emerged across Thailand and neighboring regions. The most celebrated early Tai state was the Kingdom of Sokhothai. In 1351, the Kingdom of Ayutthaya was established and became a major trading port, but was later destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. A new capital was established at Bangkok in 1782 and Thailand modernized under King Chulalongkorn in the late 19th century, though it lost some territory to Western powers. In 1932, another coup ended absolute monarchy
This document discusses leadership lessons that can be learned from Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's founding prime minister. It identifies his top 5 leadership qualities as being totally resolved to achieve hard goals, having clarity of insight to make right decisions, working with a highly competent team, setting extremely high standards, and being resourceful in facing adversity. However, it notes potential pitfalls of these qualities like overconfidence, overreaction, and being overdominant. It emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, listening skills, and hiring a coach to help leaders balance these qualities and avoid weaknesses.

Singapore has a parliamentary system of government led by the People's Action Party, which has been the dominant political party since independence. While Singapore holds regular elections, its political culture emphasizes pragmatism, authority, and national security over full political pluralism and freedom of expression. As a result, most analysts consider Singapore to be a limited democracy or competitive authoritarian regime rather than a full liberal democracy.
Chapter 9 - 1965 Singapore's Separation from MalaysiaIrving Quah
Separation between Singapore and Malaysia was inevitable due to both economic and political reasons. Economically, delays in establishing a common market and imposition of new taxes on Singapore hindered its development. Politically, the PAP and Alliance parties in Malaysia had growing rivalries. Racial tensions were also exacerbated by the Malaysian Malaysia campaign and racial riots in 1964. In 1965, the PAP joined other opposition parties in Malaysia, further angering UMNO leaders. Finally, on 9 August 1965, Lee Kuan Yew announced Singapore's independence after Tunku Abdul Rahman decided to expel it from Malaysia.

The document summarizes the major events of the Chinese Revolution from the Opium Wars in the 19th century through the establishment of communist rule under Mao Zedong. It discusses the weakening of the Qing dynasty due to foreign encroachment, the establishment of the Republic of China after the 1911 revolution, the rise of warlords and instability, the civil war between the Kuomintang and Communist Party, and Mao's consolidation of power and disastrous economic policies like the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution.
The Hong Kong protests in 2014 were sparked by Chinese interference in Hong Kong's elections. Over 150,000 protesters gathered in Hong Kong over several months to protest China's involvement and assert Hong Kong's independence. The protests aimed to protect Hong Kong's democratic system and separate governance from mainland China. While the protests ended without achieving electoral reform, they highlighted Hong Kong's desire to maintain its autonomy.

The document describes key events in early 20th century China from 1911-1927. It began with the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty in 1911 and establishment of the Republic of China. However, the country descended into warlordism as regional military leaders fought for power. In the 1920s, two groups emerged to defeat the warlords - the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which was founded in 1921 with Soviet support, and the Kuomintang (KMT) nationalist party led by Chiang Kai-shek. From 1926-1928 the KMT and CCP allied in the Northern Expedition that succeeded in reunifying the country under KMT rule, but the alliance broke down in 1927 when Chiang launched the
The document summarizes how the local people responded to British rule after World War 2 in Singapore. It discusses the difficult post-war living conditions like poverty, overcrowding and disease that led to widespread strikes in 1947. The Malayan Communist Party took advantage of these conditions to stir anti-British sentiments. The riots in the early 1950s, including the Maria Hertogh riots in 1950 and the anti-National Service riots in 1954, further expressed the growing anti-British feelings among the local population as they faced economic hardship and felt discriminated against under colonial rule. Reforms like the 1948 elections were a first step towards self-governance but did not satisfy the demands of the people.

Chapter 6 - How did WW2 affect Singapore?sunnydaydown
The British made efforts to defend Singapore by building naval bases, military airfields, and underground bunkers. However, they underestimated the Japanese and failed to stop their attack. The people initially did not take the threat seriously but life changed drastically under the harsh Japanese occupation. The Japanese imposed strict control through tactics like Operation Sook Ching and food and communications shortages developed. Resistance groups formed to sabotage the Japanese forces and life slowly returned to normal after the British regained control in 1945.

Singapore gained independence from Malaysia in 1965 and has since grown to be an economic powerhouse with the help of its leaders and economic policies. It began as a British trading post in the 19th century and was occupied by Japan during World War 2.

The document provides an overview of the history and development of Singapore from its founding by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles in 1819 to its independence. Some key points:
- Singapore was established as a British trading post in 1819 and became a British colony in 1824, developing economically under British rule.
- It joined the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 but was expelled in 1965, becoming an independent nation though still retaining some British military presence.
- The country faced challenges developing as an independent city-state but its leaders like Lee Kuan Yew worked to ensure its economic survival, including initially joining the Malaysian federation.
- Singapore has a diverse, multi-cultural society and population
Othman Wok was a prominent Malay politician who played a key role in Singapore's path to independence and promoting racial harmony. He joined the PAP in the 1960s and was elected MP despite facing accusations of being a "traitor" from some Malays. As a PAP member, he opposed pan-Malay movements that led to riots and introduced policies to reduce racial tensions. His contributions helped separate Singapore from Malaysia and establish the foundation for its multiracial society.
