The above thread expire liao...

The above is about Dr Albert Winsemius. The information on him is more accurate.

His statement that inspire me -

When asked about his life as an economist, Dr Winsemius once said, "There is quite a lot of satisfaction, perhaps not like that of, say, an architect who can look at something and say, 'I made it'. But there is that satisfaction in knowing that you have contributed to the well being of people you don't know..."

How many people holds the satisfaction in knowing that you have contributed to the well being of people you dont know ?

I think not many... Coz, those who r as quoted in red will be remembered. At least, will be remembered by me. Mr. Green

LKY do remember Dr.
Just cool down.From the expired thread.

[ur=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Winsemius]Dr Winsemius died in the Netherlands on December 4, 1996. In a letter of condolences to his family, Lee Kuan Yew wrote: "It was Singapore's good fortune that he (Dr Albert Winsemius) took a deep and personal interest in Singapore's development. Singapore and I personally are indebted to him for the time, energy and development he gave to Singapore. I am proud to have known him and to have been his friend."[/url]

2.I remember LKY or LHL did visit Dr .
If not LKY accept and excute the suggestions by Dr,
how SG can progress so fast.

Dr is the architect,but LKY and old guards was the builder and leader.
There are warehouse full of reports for many third world in
the past few decades.How much they progress?

3.I have no objection u want opposition
to run SG or press PAP to give more what u want.
But i am not happy u guys forget the old guards have done for
SG,incl LKY ...

The SG story is one out of million chance story...

4.May be this New Zealand government reportcan help u
refresh our history.

Figure 1: Real Income Per Capita, New Zealand and the Four Tigers (1999 US$ PPP)21

Kow tow to LKY and the old guards.

The man regards men as tools, nothing more. At the end of the day, he cares about whether or not he is useful to him. Else, discarded.
