The following Lee Kuan Yew's quote:
The World Bank report's conclusions are part of the culture of America and, by extension, of international institutions. It had to present its findings in a bland and universalizable way, which I find unsatisfying because it doesn't grapple with the real problems. It makes the hopeful assumption that all men are equal, that people all over the world are the same. They are not.
Amen.

The maverick seems seriously allergic to anything aiming at the opposite of excellence!
Was he inspired by our local SAJ or was it the other way round?
Wai, LKY finn tuletan ena enn bon piow-detector.
Maladi puvwar a tupri in byen trape kuma dir...
Wonder what LKY would have thought reading this kind of crap. Or this. Don't worry if you don't understand anything, the author doesn't probably either.
