Fun fact: The names of Singapore's three leaders are a wonderful match for the country's strategy
1. Lee Kuan Yew: Illuminating the road to the founding of the country
Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore, his name means "glorious ancestors". As the founder of the nation, he made an incomparable contribution to Singapore's independence and rise, and is revered as the "Father of the Nation". He is not only a founding father of Singapore, but also an important figure in the political arena. During his tenure as prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew consolidated his power with a firm grip on eliminating political opponents and dismissing criticism from the West. Under his leadership, Singapore achieved political independence and economic prosperity, transforming itself from an ordinary city-state into a global trading and financial center and one of Asia's wealthiest countries. As a Hakka, Lee Kuan Yew undoubtedly achieved the family glory of "glorious ancestors".
2. Lee Hsien Loong: Leading the Dragon's Momentum
Lee Hsien Loong, a distinguished graduate of mathematics from the University of Cambridge, has shown remarkable leadership skills since becoming prime minister in 2004. During his nearly 20 years in power, Lee Hsien Loong used his unique wisdom and strategic balancing skills to find a balance between international powers such as China and the United States, ensuring Singapore's continued prosperity. Over the past five years, Singapore's development has accelerated to become the most respected and trusted international financial centre in the Asia-Pacific region. Under Lee Hsien Loong's leadership, Singapore has become a remarkable "land of dragons".
3. Huang Xuncai: the successor of financial wisdom
Deputy Prime Minister Wong is expected to be the next generation of leaders in Singapore. His outstanding performance in the Ministry of Finance has been highly praised by two generations of leaders of the Li family. Its name, "Circulation", indicates that Singapore's future national strategy will continue to focus on fiscal wisdom. Under Wong's leadership, Singapore is expected to adhere to its current strategic approach, with economic prosperity as its primary goal, while maintaining political integrity and stability to ensure the country's sustained and high-speed growth.
The names of these leaders are not only a symbol of their family's pride, but also seem to indicate their contribution to the country and the direction of Singapore's development.
