People who are "attracted by physical characteristics" may regret it: MM Lee
MM Lee Kuan Yew also defended the policy of promoting marriage between highly-educated Singaporeans, a policy seen by critics as a form of social engineering, and dismissed the notion of love at first sight.
"People get educated, the bright ones rise, they marry equally well-educated spouses. The result is their children are likely to be smarter than the children of those who are gardeners," he said.
"It's a fact of life. You get a good mare, you don't want a dud stallion to breed with your good mare. You get a poor foal."
People who are "attracted by physical characteristics" may regret it, he said.
