Lee Kuan Yew

Lee Kuan Yew – First Premier of Singapore

When Lee Kuan Yew resigned as Prime minister of Singapore in 1990 it was the end of the reign of a tiger; a man who took no prisoners in his drive to the top. Serving his country from 1959 until 1990, he was the longest serving prime minister of any country at that time.

Had it not been for the Japanese occupation of Singapore it is doubtful that he would have led his country, but that occupation had such a profound effect on him that it completely changed the course of his life. He was determined that no foreign power would …

Singapore Casinos

Singapore Casinos – Integrated Resorts

Singapore is one of the world’s most successful countries and until recently had strict laws on gambling that restricted the development of casinos in the small city-state. However, with recent changes in the law, Singapore casinos will soon be among the world’s most spectacular leisure developments, and plans are afoot to create what is expected to be the most expensive casino and leisure complex in the world.

Singapore Women At Their Best

One might think that the women of Singapore would be similar to other Asian women. However, upon giving the cultures a second look, most are surprised to know that Singapore women are quite independent. In fact, this is one thing many Western men find very attractive, although it does seem to annoy the more traditional men of Singapore quite a bit. Singapore women today are more focused on education and their career. They are not rushing into marriages at young ages and are waiting later in life to have children. Some people think this is a huge mistake and worry about the culture …
