MANILA, Philippines – Rappler talked to Cherian George, a Singaporean writer and academic, to assess Lee Kuan Yew’s legacy and to take a peek at what’s ahead for Singapore.
Lee’s death on Monday, March 23, has put a spotlight on Singapore, the country he led for decades. With the man dubbed as Singapore’s founding father gone, what will the next step for the city-state – celebrating half a century of independence this year – be?
George was a long-time journalist for The Straits Times, then became a journalism professor first at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, then at the Hong Kong Baptist University.
He has written 3 books: Singapore: The Air-Conditioned Nation (2000); Contentious Journalism and the Internet: Towards Democratic Discourse in Malaysia and Singapore (2006); and Freedom From The Press: Journalism and State Power in Singapore (2012) – Rappler.com
