Lee Kuan was a Singaporean politician and lawyer that served as prime minister of the Republic of&nbsp;Singapore&nbsp;from 1959 to 1990. During his long rule, Singapore became the most- prosperous country in Southeast Asia. Lee was born in Singapore on September 16, 1923. He studied law in England at the University of Cambridge and returned to Singapore to practice law in 1951. He worked as a legal adviser to labor unions and won election to Singapore’s legislative Assembly in 1955, while the country was still a British crown colony. Recognizing that Singapore needed a strong economy in order to survive as an independent country, Lee launched a program to industrialize Singapore and transform it into a major exporter of finished goods. He encouraged foreign investment and secured agreements between labor unions and business management that ensured both labor peace and a rising standard of living for workers. Though he brought the country an efficient administration and spectacular prosperity, his mildly authoritarian government at times infringed on civil liberties.

Singapore has come out of its earlier state of a city characterized by poverty, with people living in bad circumstances. Singapore was characterized by race riots, unemployment, shortage of food, and violence after WW II and during the independence period. Lee Kuan Yew’s emphasis on economic growth, his support for business and the limitations he placed on democracy were the groundbreaking rules on which Singapore thrived. Economic success was seen in the dropping of the unemployment rate, higher wage incomes, and the presence of technological industries.&nbsp;
