“If I were in authority in Singapore indefinitely without having to ask those who are governed whether they like what is being done, then I would not have the slightest doubt that I could govern much more effectively in their interests.” - Lee Kuan Yew, 1962
“One-man-one-vote is a most difficult form of government.. Results can be erratic.” - Lee Kuan Yew, Dec 19 1984
“I’m not intellectually convinced that one-man-one-vote is the best. We practise it because that’s what the British bequeathed us.” - Lee Kuan Yew, 1994
“Please do not assume that you can change governments. Young people don’t understand this” - Lee Kuan Yew on the results of the 2006 election
