‘Old friends’ reminisce during book interview
06May12
Lee Kuan Yew is back. Straits Times:
Former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew met his one-time West German counterpart Helmut Schmidt at the Shangri-La Hotel on Saturday.
Mr Schmidt is in Singapore to tap Mr Lee’s views on international affairs for a book that he is writing. The interview on Saturday lasted three hours, and two more interviews of similar length are scheduled over the next two days.

Mr Lee is 6 years younger than the German and not on wheelchair, so is very healthy indeed, contrary to rumors.
Sad to see a great social democrat like Helmut Schmidt being associated by someone who has completely different reputation. A rose which falls on shit does not make the shit smell better but it starts smelling like shit.
It is inexplicable that penning his opinions is more important to him than taking care of his constituents.
I do not understand why he inherited the whole government apparatus from the UK and yet people call him the Founding Father of Singapore.
