Lee Kuan Yew: How did Asia remember him?

Lee Kuan Yew: How did Asia remember him?

Lee - with wife Kwa Geok Choo - spent decades on the diplomatic stage."Anyone who thinks he is a statesman ought to see a psychiatrist."

司马观点:李光耀的江湖话(江春男)

司马观点:李光耀的江湖话(江春男)

苹果日报 - 头条要闻 - 24 Mar 2015 「李先生,我们终于见面了,你一直躲着我。」2008年5月27日,在新加坡高等法庭,民主党秘书长徐顺全以这样的开场白,和84岁的李光耀对簿公堂。前几年他因诽谤被李光耀告到破产,这次又被李氏父子提告。 李光耀在法庭上痛骂徐顺全是「说谎专家,骗子,狂妄之徒」,并说「几名医师朋友告诉我,他已经快要精神病了。」徐顺全当场反唇相讥:「我并不恨你,你一副可悲相,我替你感到可怜。」法庭判决不问可知,李光耀一生斗志高昂,对政敌绝不手软。 他在这方面说了许多狠话,颇有江湖味: 「想跟我对干的人,得戴上指节铜环才行,如果你觉得你可以伤我,比我能伤你还多,那就试试看。」 「如果你是麻烦制造者,我的工作就是在政治上毁了你。」 「大家都知道,我的袋子里有把小斧头,非常锋利的斧头。你跟我斗,我就拿斧头,我们死胡同见。」 「有时候我们不得不像空手道高手一样,来一记猛劈,务必要求干净利落,一次就解决。」 对新闻自由颇不屑 新加坡是弹丸之地,早期只有渔民和苦力,什么天然资源都没有,独立初期,根本没有人才,海陆空军都靠外国人帮忙,全国精英只有数百人,只能坐满一架大客机,如果坠机,新加坡就完蛋了。 李光耀是社会达尔文主义者,对西方民主颇多讥评,他主张亚洲价值,晚年更提倡儒家伦理,对新闻自由颇为不屑。 李光耀说:「一些人很天真,​​以为新闻自由是神圣的,其实那种自由只是报社老板的自由,他有权聘雇和开除记者。」这种话对中共相当悦耳,对台湾某些老板亦然。 李光耀把小岛变成富裕的城邦,实在成就非凡,可称为一代巨人,可惜,他的经验无法复制,这种治理方式难以永续经营。 Read...
