As a Singaporean, I know some people who hate Lee Kuan Yew but honestly without him, we would be living in slums, call him a dictator, but he made Singapore what we are today. He is indeed Singapore’s father.

作为一个新加坡人，我知道有一些人讨厌李光耀，但老实说如果没有他，那么我们可能将会生活在贫民窟中，人们将李光耀称为是一个独裁者，但新加坡现在的一切都是他造就的。他确实是新加坡之父

He didnt do it alone. And Singapore is already a trading port,not fishing village they like to propagate,under british rule.

这不是他一个人的功劳。在英国统治时期，新加坡就已经是一个贸易港口了，当时的新加坡并不是他们所宣传的小渔村

LKY is the best world leader ever TBH

老实说李光耀是有史以来最好的世界领导人

The story of Singapore is truly miraculous. Changing lives of citizens in one generation is an unmatched achievement.

新加坡的故事堪称是真正的奇迹。他们实现了难以企及的成就，在一代人的时间里改变了公民的生活

Well it's kinda common in Asia, China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand

这样的成就在亚洲很常见，中国，韩国，日本，台湾地区，香港，印尼，马来西亚，和泰国都实现过这样的成就

@Haru Yanto Those countries you mentioned have larger population, large land and each of them have some sort of natural resources but Singapore have small land, small population and zero natural resources but within 50 years they transformed from a third world country to a first world country..............

你提到的这些国家人口多，面积大，他们每一个都拥有某种自然资源，但新加坡面积小，人口少，而且没有任何自然资源，但他们在50年时间里就从一个第三世界国家发展成了第一世界国家

@Desmond Lim they are never 3rd world country , they are already rich during british time because brit develop them singapore are their hub in this region

新加坡从来不是第三世界国家，在英国统治时期，他们就已经是一个富裕的国家了，因为英国开发了新加坡，所以新加坡才能成为这个地区的中心
Desmond Lim
@Far Hsa yeah but after Singapore was occupied by Japan Singapore was neglected for 3 whole years. Lots of infrastructure destroyed and British dont bother to rebuild. Things got even worse when they withdraw from Singapore. So the point still stand where they transformed from third world to first world within a generation....

是的，但新加坡被日本占领后，在接下来整整三年时间里，新加坡被彻底忽视了，很多基础设施被摧毁，而英国人也懒的重建。当他们撤出新加坡后，新加坡的情况变得更加糟糕。所以新加坡在一代人的时间里从第三世界国家发展成为第一世界国家的说法并没有错。

At independence, Singapore was already an economic center in Asia. All the banks and companies already set up offices in Singapore.
Singapore's 1965 GDP per capita was $517, many times higher than many countries: South Korea at $108, China at $97, Thailand $138, Burma at $17, Taiwan at $225.
In 1965, Singapore was the fourth richest country in Asia, behind only Japan, HK and Brunei (oil reserves).

新加坡在独立的时候就已经是亚洲的经济中心了。所有的银行和企业都在新加坡设立了办事处。
新加坡1965年的人均gdp是517美元，是很多国家的很多倍：韩国人均gdp是108美元，中国是97美元，泰国是138美元，缅甸是17美元，台湾地区是225美元
在1965年，新加坡是亚洲第四富裕的国家，仅次于日本，香港地区和文莱（文莱有石油）。

@Pidgeon no，singapore and malaya together are asia no 1 gdp per capita in early 1950s ahead of Japan

不，在50年代初，新加坡和马来西亚是亚洲人均gdp最高的国家，超过了日本

Singapore was already rich in the British times and they control the Melacca Strait, which is the throat of international shipping routes, the great geolocation plays a big role in making Singapore rich.
the most inspiring examples of transformations of economies from dirt poverty to prosperity in just one generation would be South Korea and China. Smaller countries are easier to develop if they can export to the world markets, but China, with 1.4 billion people, was much much much harder to develop itself when everybody was poor, but China makes a humankind miracle in the last 40 years anyway.

在英国殖民时期新加坡就已经是一个富裕国家了，他们控制了国际航运的咽喉要道马六甲海峡，新加坡的富裕在很大程度上要得益于优越的地理位置。
在经济转型中最激励人心的两个例子是中国和韩国，他们在仅仅一代人的时间里就从极端贫穷走向了繁荣。如果小国可以向世界市场出口的话，那么其实他们是更加容易发展起来的，但中国有着14亿人口，而且每个人都很穷，发展难度要比其他国家大很多，但尽管如此，中国依然在过去四十年的时间里创造了一个人类史上的奇迹。
