Did LKY really write the book himself?

It was written by a team lead by former Straits Times Editor Han Fook Kwang....who interviewed him. Han Fook Kwang was also the person who wrote "LKY : Man and His Ideas".

I have read both books. I think LKY has severe misconception of the real world. The fact he is considered to have run this place well is probably due to people like Toh Chin Chye, Goh Keng Swee etc. 99% of Singapore's success is due to our parents' generation, one of the most hard working people on earth....now LKY is talking as if his foresight alone took us here, which is rubbish,

so all the words are not from Lee...

You wanna bet on this?? even when he is gone, there will be ghost writers galore...there will be enough books to fill an entire library & they may have to build one, entirely of all his works...:biggrin: wanna bet!

As it is, every time he launches a new book, the school libraries are told by principals to order 10-20 copies each. Then the teachers are told to read them and to tell their students to read them. And normally, after the dust has settled with the passing of time, the multiple copies take up space on the shelves and gather dust.

His book can't sell ...needs government's help. So much from a believer in market forces.
