谈到李光耀这里有不少"李氏不爽"声音,其实李一直以来负责政治免不了备受争议.
前外长拉惹勒南讲过一句经典的话"Lee doesnt want to be love but respect",李要的是人们的尊敬而非爱戴.李或许是更加重视的是历史评价吧.
能够在地理位置四面楚歌创造出神奇,成为全世界人们最想移居之处,这不能不归功于李的政治才干.
我最近和国内一位知识分子闲聊,她说李光耀真正是做到"无私"这两个字,我听了很感动,其实许多海外精英更懂得李光耀.
翁先生很推崇李光耀,那回头看看李光耀当年的发言,其实和翁先生的论点是不同的:
"But we either believe in democracy or we not. If we do, then, we must say categorically, without qualification, that no restraint from the any democratic processes, other than by the ordinary law of the land, should be allowed...
If you believe in democracy, you must believe in it unconditionally. If you believe that men should be free, then,
they should have the right of free association, of free speech, of free publication. Then, no law should permit those democratic processes to be set at nought, and no excuse, whether of security, should allow a government to be deterred from doing what it knows to be right, and what it must know to be right... " - Lee Kuan Yew, Legislative Assembly Debates, April 27, 1955
当时的李秘书长可没有提出东方式vs西方式民主。他说的是 - 相信民主,就是无条件的相信。
