On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew (September 16, 1923 - September 16, 2023) and the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Singapore, Omega Plus republished the book series Lee Kuan Yew's Memoirs and organized a discussion on Lee Kuan Yew and lessons on building a lasting career .

"A nation is great not only because of its size. It is the will, unity, determination, discipline of its people and the quality of its leaders that ensure that nation has an honorable place in history."

Those were the words Mr. Lee Kuan Yew spoke in 1963 when Singapore was struggling with complex national relations, seeking autonomy and independence in conditions of poor resources, small area and population, and low socio-economic foundation.

The spirit of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew in that speech has been steadfast throughout his 25 years in power since Singapore's independence, turning the country into an "Asian dragon".

Lee Kuan Yew's Memoirs consists of two volumes: The Singapore Story and From Third World to First World .

Lee Kuan Yew's memoir not only recounts the life of the late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and Singapore's journey to "becoming a dragon", but also conveys many thoughts and messages to "the younger generation of Singaporeans who believe that a stable, developed and prosperous Singapore is obvious".

In addition to his notes, the book also includes a number of unpublished Government documents, which are valuable resources for readers interested in learning about Singapore.

Mr. Lee Kuan Yew (September 16, 1923 - March 23, 2015) was the first Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore, holding this position from 1959 to 1990.

Although he has stepped down as Prime Minister, he is still considered one of the most influential politicians in Singapore. He continues to serve in the Government of Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong as a Senior Minister.

After Mr. Goh Chok Tong withdrew, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew assumed a new position as Minister Mentor, under the leadership of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong - his son.
