Singapore's founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, is The Straits Times Asian of the Year.
The editors of this newspaper picked Mr Lee, who died in March, as their unanimous choice from a crowded field for the annual award, now in its fourth year.
The city-state's prime minister for 31 years, Mr Lee was widely respected as the architect of Singapore's prosperity, transforming it from a backwater port city into a wealthy global hub.
