News and current affairs

NEW YORK - Few politicians have garnered as many effusive public tributes after their death as Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's founder and long-serving former prime minister.
Lee was the pioneer of capitalism with an iron fist.
Like many authoritarian leaders (Mussolini, for one), Lee was once a socialist.
Yet there is something extraordinary about the adulation of Lee.
Why Lee, and not Pinochet?
Lee could generally rely on a compliant judiciary.
Lee never claimed that liberal democracy in the West was a mistake.
But there are plenty of Chinese as well, not just in Taiwan and Hong Kong, who would take issue with Lee's cultural defense of authoritarianism.
Lee's premise, from which he never departed, was that, especially in a multi-ethnic society like Singapore, a meritocratic elite must impose social harmony from above.
By richly awarding the elite, Lee minimized the scope for corruption.
As Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of modern Singapore, once told me, a leader must be a quick learner, test reality, be prepared to change his mind as conditions change, and act calmly in a crisis.
Take the case of the British soldier Lee Clegg who, while on duty in Northern Ireland, shot and killed a teenage joyrider whose car failed to stop at a security check.
President Lee is a conservative, and relatively pro-Japanese.
But, precisely because Lee is regarded as a pro-Japanese conservative, he needs to burnish his nationalist credentials.
Other elements of Lee's plan include construction of eco-friendly transportation networks, such as high-speed railways and hundreds of kilometers of bicycle tracks, and generating energy using waste methane from landfills.
Lee's most profound influence has been in post-Mao China, where booming economic enterprise coexists with an authoritarian Leninist one-party state.
No wonder, then, that Lee was so much admired by autocrats everywhere who dream of combining their monopoly on power with the creation of great wealth.
For starters, Lee did not come to power in a military coup, and his opponents were not massacred in football stadiums.
But Lee's stellar reputation has to do with culture, too.
At home, he still ranks first in popularity among the country's heads of state, kindling nostalgia like a popular old record - a corollary to people's frustration and anger at the current government of President Lee Myung-bak.
Park, who lost her first bid for the GNP's nomination to Lee in 2007, needs to ensure that no rupture with her erstwhile rival knocks her off the path to victory in 2012.
