Lee Kuan Yew: Hard Truths to Keep Singapore Going

Mr Lee Kuan Yew described Hard Truths as his all-time "favourite" book. He stayed in the public eye for 60 years - as the revolutionary leader who steered Singapore into independence, as the Prime Minister who transformed the Republic into a First World country, and as Minister Mentor, the elder statesman. Based on 32 hours of interviews, this book picks up where his memoirs of 1999 and 2000 left off. It deals with what it takes to keep a successful Singapore going.
