HIS PERSONALITY’S Army
His perspective on command was perhaps the most straightforward of his concepts. Go out and get them and give them properly to make it an appealing statement because a state needs the best to manage.
He bulldozed his way by introducing a formula to give ministers best salaries, and you can’t claim with the cool logic.
It simply worked while he was present, and since then, the solution has been modified to account for people unhappiness with the problem.
However, officials are also fairly well compensated.
The notion that political authority was essential to Singapore’s victory is still held today.
It is evidence of his influence’s strength even now, as are his views on democracy, multiracialism, and benevolence.
It’s possible that their rough edges were polished and the policies associated with them were modified to account for shifting conditions and changing needs and aspirations of the populace.
This was acknowledged by Mr. Lee. He had object whenever we asked him about his thoughts on existing policies in Hard Truths.
He would say, occasionally adding that he wasn’t aware of what was going on on the earth,” Question the younger officials.”
He wasn’t enamored with hypothesis or fixated on one way to do things.
But if you challenged him on the core values of multiracialism, meritocracy, incorruptibility, and leadership, he would remain immovable.
Of course, he wasn’t always straight on anything. On the importance of early school learning to assist children from low-income families, he was completely mistaken.
I can at least recall one instance when he lectured editors about a school that was introducing an innovative method of teaching young children.
He would object,” You’re encouraging families to spend money sending their kids to these schools.” He believed that by the time they were 10 years old, their innate intelligence — or lack thereof — would determine their academic performance, regardless of whether they went to these preschools.
Later studies disproved him, the government changed its course, and early knowledge is now getting the attention it merits.
