Vintage Lee: Landmark speeches since 1955

This book is a collection of Lee Kuan Yew’s landmark speeches from 1955 to 2009, covering the years of Singapore’s colonisation under the British, to the merger with Malaya and the eventual independence of Singapore. In his 60 years as a politician, 31 of them as the Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Lee delivered thousands of speeches. This book contains 33 that stand out as they are the clearest and most hard-hitting on issues he considered of fundamental importance – race, language, good government, defence, talent and succession.
