He is and will till be respected by people for bringing up Singapore as one of the world's leading country.
He's famous with this quote and I certainly agreed with it.
“I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens.
Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn’t be here today. And I
say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn’t be here, we would
not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very
personal matters–who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you
make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide what is right.
Never mind what the people think.” (Straits Times, 1987)
At age 91, he's considered lucky enough to see the country that he builds grow and mature along the time.
RIP My Lee Kuan Yew.
