If Singapore is a nanny state, then I am proud to have fostered one.

Please do not assume that you can change governments. Young people don’t understand this.

You marry a non-graduate, then you are going to worry if your son or daughter is going to make it to the university.

I have been accused of many things in my life, but not even my worst enemy has ever accused me of being afraid to speak my mind.

I'm not saying that everything I did was right, but everything I did was for an honourable purpose.

Usually I read biographies of interesting people. I am not attracted to novels - make-believe, or recreations of what people think life should be.

I always tried to be correct, not politically correct.
