The mixed legacy of prime minister Lee Kwan Yew in Singapore- promoting economic freedom, yet stifling change

03/23/2015

The situation on the Malay peninsula over 50 years- more economic freedom, yet stifling of change. Neighboring Indonesia moves to democratic multi-party system and alternating governments after the Suharto period, with widening of democratic process in the election of Widodo as president. Chaotic compared to Singapore and Malaysia's "orderly'' process, yet dynamic in other ways.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
