Lee Kuan Yew, 1923-2015
March 23, 2015
We note the passing of Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore, who died Monday at the age of 91. More than merely a political figure, Mr. Lee was revered as a founding father of the tiny island nation, transforming it from a third-world outpost to a modern, affluent nation-state with a streamlined economy and a remarkably low rate of corruption.
