The memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s founding father, are found in two volumes: the first, “The Singapore Story,” deals with the years under British colonial rule, Japanese occupation, the
communist insurrection, racial riots, and other events leading to sudden independence in August 1965; the second, “From Third World to First: The Singapore Story, 1965 to 2000” covers the difficult years that saw a tiny trading outpost surrounded by hostile neighbors, develop into one of the world’s most prosperous and progressive nations. In 1965, per capita GDP was $400; by 2000, it rose to more than $22,000.
In January 1974, a little over a year after martial law was declared in the Philippines, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore made his first official visit to the country. His Singapore Airlines flight was escorted by PAF fighter jets as it entered Philippine airspace.
One could say that his game was a reflection of the manner in which he ran his country. His drives were strong and straight, complemented by a good short game, all marks of one who in his younger days would relax by hitting 50 to a hundred balls at the driving range, and then playing nine holes, at times, all by himself. Some folks say that good golfers make excellent executives.
