Lee Kwan Yew - the Prime Minister who changed Singapore from poverty to prosperity. He was not born-raised-educated as a Christian. In fact, he was an atheist and a radical non-believer of the faith. He was never inspired by the Word of God as written in the holy bible. Yet with sheer guts, intelligence, and discipline, he was able to transform Singapore from a hell of a place into an Asian paradise blessed with
higher standard of living and indeed, thinking.
How come our own Philippine government officials, who are all born-raised-educated as Catholics or as Christians, all inspired by God, are all good, unfortunately, only good for nothing? Specially when it comes to growth as a people and maturity as a nation?
In the meantime, the Singaporean youth, in their formative years, are all enjoying the benefits of scientific creativity in their schools, colleges, and universities. Indeed, they are learning to enhance the benefits of science and technology. In order to bring forth more creativity of prosperity into their social and economic reality in Asia.
Could the Philippines ever catch up stuck with its culture of corruption, the culture of praying and believing with Singapore? A city-State way ahead due to its culture of high standard of living as the result of hard learning, hard working, and hard thinking? Poch Suzara
