LKY Advice to Singaporean - Your Future Depends On What You Make Of It

[Sammyboy RSS Feed]

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

LKY:“The question is to get more. And each generation, each election you must find ten, fifteen, twenty good candidates and amongst them two three potential good Ministers. You need a population that understands that. Then it will work. If you believe that you are going to get good government whatever you do, then you are going to risk it all away. You take chances, you vote in jokers, cranks, weak men, worst, charlatans, plausible men with some gift of the gab. You’ll run a very serious risk of losing everything you have. So the final message that I give to Singaporeans is: Your future really depends on what you make of it. The Government can give you that framework. Can give expression to the will of the people. But the people must have that will. If you don’t have it, there’s nothing a Government can do.”
