This change, he said, will enable our country to take the “Great Leap Forward” in the same way Lee Kuan Yew and Deng Xiaoping of Singapore and China, respectively, did it for their countries. Liberia, however, was positively different in one respect: We remained mineral, land and timber-rich; while Singapore was not. But thanks to Singapore’s visionary, hardworking and results-oriented leader, Lee Kuan Yew, who tolerated absolutely NO CORRUPTION and did so by his personal example, and China’s Deng Xiaoping, they transformed their impoverished nations into two of the world’s richest and most progressive. He was succeeded by Deng Xiaoping, who wisely put a capitalist spin on the country’s communist ideology, and turned China into the world’s second largest economy. When will we ever get a leader that uses power the way Jesus did—the way Lee Kuan Yew and Deng Xiaoping did—not for themselves, but to lift their people and countries and carve a substantively positive difference in their lives?
