How Singapore became Asia’s No.1 Country?

新加坡是如何成为亚洲第一的?

Today, Singapore is one of the richest countries in the world. But what's even more surprising is that it was once a country that was hit by extreme poverty, unemployment, drugs, crime, gambling, ethnic riots, overpopulation, illiteracy, lack of natural resources and hostilities with neighboring countries. So how did Singapore become such a developed country within a span of  25 years?

如今，新加坡是世界上最富有的国家之一。更令人惊讶的是，它曾经是一个遭受极端贫困、失业率高、毒品泛滥、犯罪猖獗、赌博盛行、种族骚乱、人口过剩、文盲多、缺乏自然资源、敌对环伺等问题的国家。

新加坡是如何在25年的时间里成为一个发达国家的呢?

I'm from India and lived in Singapore for 2 years (2010 - 2012) and have to tell everyone that Singapore is, indeed, a beautiful country to live in.

If i ever get a chance then i will, certainly, leave India to settle down in Singapore.

PS - i dont hate india but current situations here made me love Singapore more

我来自印度，在新加坡生活了2年(2010年至2012年)，我想告诉每个人，新加坡确实是一个美丽的国家。如果有机会，我肯定会离开印度去新加坡定居。

我不讨厌印度，但现在的情况让我更爱新加坡。

Proud to be a Singaporean. It’s completely true that here nobody talks about Lee Kuan Yew but everyone respect him to the most.

为自己是新加坡人而自豪。虽然在这里没有人谈论李光耀，但每个人都最尊重他。

I’m a Singaporean, 3rd generation. My grandfather left India in 1890 and was trader. It is true, primary school fee was $2.50/ month in 1980s and secondary school fee $11/month. Besides keep Singapore Clean campaign, there was a Courtesy Campaign which educated public on the beauty of kindness, respect and just a smile even for a stranger, a neighbour, anyone. All cultures and religions mingle happily. It’s an amazing place to live. Mr Lee Kuan Yew was the Father of our nation and his passing left every Singaporean in grief. He is remembered and respected. He is in the hearts of all Singaporeans.

我是第三代新加坡人。我的祖父是一名商人，于1890年离开印度。没错，80年代小学学费是每月2.5美元，中学学费是每月11美元。除了“保持新加坡清洁”运动外，还有一个“礼貌运动”，教育公众善良、尊重的美德，对邻居，甚至陌生人都要微笑。所有的文化和宗教都能愉快地融合在一起。这是一个非常适合居住的地方。李光耀先生是我们的国父，他的逝世让每个新加坡人都感到悲痛。人们铭记他，尊敬他，他活在所有新加坡人的心中。

Thanks Dhruv for your informative video. I lived in Singapore for 9yrs and yet came to many know many things from your video. Indian politicians must learn from SM Lee. I saw him as PM and later as govt adviser. Salute to this guy. Must receive Nobel prize

我在新加坡生活了9年，但从你的视频中了解了很多事情。印度政客必须向李光耀学习。他先是担任总理，后来是担任国务资政。向他致敬，他值得诺贝尔奖。

It shows that the Government plays an important role in the nation and can change country's conditions if they really want.

这表明政府在国家中扮演着重要的角色，如果他们真的想要改变国家现状的话。

This story tells us that one man can change the country if he determined to do so.

新加坡的故事告诉我们，一个人可以改变一个国家，如果他决心改变的话

That's why an educated prime minister needs to develop a country.

这就是为什么一个国家想要发展就需要一个受过良好教育的领导人。

Excellent picture on Singapore,indian leaders can't be nearer to Singapore premier, Hat's off Singapore rulers

印度领导人和新加坡总理差太多了，向新加坡统治者致敬

mukeshmuki1391

Five years ago, the Indian Prime Minister visited Singapore, he looked around and then saw Prime Minister Lee Kwan and said that most of the people in India speak here, so you should use Hindi as the official language in Singapore. So they told PM Modi how to go the way you came, bought a biryani and sent him away

五年前，印度总理访问新加坡，他环顾四周，然后对李光耀总理说，这里的大多数印度人都说印地语，所以你应该把印地语设为新加坡的官方语言之一。然后他们给莫迪买了一份印度香饭，把他打发走了

tabisolickal3772

as an Indian origin blood, i wanted to say that if Indian Politicians can follow LKY’s work ethics , i think India become world 1 in just 5 years…. We love our country (Singapore) — 0% tolerance on corruption , ( The most important step to build a successful nation), secondly an OPEN MINDED (Top Notch Political bureaucrats System - where they will listen all of their people voice and make decisions only where the TRUTH exsts ). NO RELION,NO CASTE ,NO GENTER partiality in taking a decision ..

作为印度人，我想说，如果印度政客能有李光耀的这种水平，我认为印度在5年内就能成为世界第一。我们爱我们的国家(新加坡)，对腐败零容忍，这是建立一个成功国家的最重要的一步，其次是开放的思想(一流的政治官僚体系——他们会倾听所有人的声音)，没有信仰、没有种姓、没有性别歧视……

I went to Singapore earlier this year, and OH MY GOD.  Everything is so developed , the transportation is so good. People are so humble, and they are always ready to help. Not to mention how citizens respect every job, from business exec to a garbage collector, everyone is paid enough to lead a decen life. I went during their independence day celebrations, and you could feel the excitement and patriotism in the air.

今年初我去了新加坡，我的天啊，很发达，交通也很发达。人们谦逊有礼，乐于助人。更不用说公民对每一份工作的尊重，从企业高管到垃圾收集者，每个人都能过上体面的生活。我是在他们的独立日庆祝活动期间去的，可以感受到空气中的兴奋和爱国热情。

Lee Kwan Yew transformed Singapore from a poor country to one of the richest country in the world in 30-40 years through his vision, dedication and strong will while maintaining racial harmony. What he did was even more commendable considering the lack of natural resources (drinking water and agricultural land to grow food) and a small nation area wise. The world needs more Lee Kwan Yew's..

李光耀富有远见，有着奉献和坚强的意志，在30-40年的时间里将新加坡从一个贫穷的国家，建设成为了世界上最富有的国家之一，同时保持了种族和谐。

考虑到新加坡缺乏自然资源(饮用水和种植粮食的农业用地)，国土面积小，他的成绩更加值得称赞。世界需要更多李光耀……

Delhi model is most successful state model which will be key for the progress of India but Modi has arrested the Chief executive of the Delhi government.

德里模式是最成功的邦治理模式，是印度进步的关键，但莫迪逮捕了德里政府的首席部长。

RVS924

I got opportunity to work in both Singapore and Malaysia, I must say as a Indian we are far behind them ...they r really ahead of everything due to capable government and thr policies.We must learn and implement in our country. population is just excuse, unfortunately we never ever had leader like this to progress our country in that level..

我曾在新加坡和马来西亚工作，作为印度人，不得不说我们远远落后于他们…他们的政府有能力，政策给力，他们的一切真的遥遥领先。我们必须学习并在我们国家实施。人口多，只是借口，不幸的是，我们从来没有新加坡那样的领导人来推动国家的进步。

jay0787

I'm a born and bred Singaporean, and WOW you really nailed the history of Singapore.

While I won't ignore our rise to success, we haven't hit the top yet. We can still improve further as a united nation, and I hope other countries can find their Lee Kuan Yew and they can share their own economic success story.

我是土生土长的新加坡人。虽然我们成功了，但我们还没有达到顶峰。作为一个统一的国家，我们仍然可以进一步改善，我希望其他国家可以找到他们的李光耀，可以分享他们自己的经济成功故事。

I myself lived in Singapore for 6 years when I was a very young child, between the age of 2 - 8. The education system, public transport, infrastructure(especially Changi Airport), cleanliness and various other things are absolutely commendable.

我自己在新加坡生活了6年，当时我还是个很小的孩子，2到8岁之间。教育系统、公共交通、基础设施(尤其是樟宜机场)、清洁和其他各方面都是绝对值得称赞的。
