Singapore - Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yew said that
he hopes the city-state will aim for a cultural renaissance like
Italy.
'If you go to Florence or you go to Venice or you go to Rome and
you see their churches, their museums, and you see the number of
sculptors, painters sitting outside trying to copy Leonardo da
Vinci, you know that was the beginning of the renaissance,' the
first prime minister said at a dialogue Friday.
