2016年03月23日,因病醫治無效去世,享年91歲。 強悍、充滿斗志甚至偏執的強人遠去,我們一起來回顧一下他冷硬如刀丶直指人心的箴言。
李光耀談媒體 【沒有新聞就是好新聞】
我總是覺得此事很奇怪:一個國家有麻煩時,就會受到國際媒體注目......1942年日本占領新加坡之前,或1955年和1956年新加坡發生期間導致兩名記者遇害之前,世上沒有多少人聽過新加坡這個地方。後來我開始明白,當涉及外國媒體時,沒有消息就是好消息。
──李光耀於1959年9月16日於外國記者協會發言
I have always thought it strange that a country figures prominently in the world press mainlywhen it is in
troubleNobody in the rest of the world heard much about Singapore until it was captured by theJapanese in 1942 or
again until there were riots in 1955 and 1956 in the course of one of which two members of yourfraternity were killed. I have e to believe that, so far as the foreign press is concerned, no news is good news.
Speech at Foreign Correspondents Association, 16th Sep, 1959
關於國際領袖 【誰最偉大?】
我覺得最偉大的是鄧小平。以他這個年紀,要承認自己的錯誤,承認馬克斯丶列寧丶毛澤東思想不可行而必須放棄,只有偉人才能做到。
──《李光耀對話錄》(Conversations with Lee Kuan Yew )湯姆.普雷特(Tom Plate)著
I would say the greatest was Deng Xiaoping. At his age, to admit that he was wrong, that all theseideas, Marxism, Leninism, Maoism, they are just not working and have to be abandoned, you needa great man to do that
- Tom Plates Conversations with Lee Kuan Yew
【再談鄧小平】
鄧小平是個偉人。中國原是一個破敗的國家,本可能像蘇聯那樣崩潰,但他一手改變了中國的命運,讓這個國家變成今天的面貌,并逐步成為全球最大經濟體。──《新加坡賴以生存的硬道理》
