"I do not measure myself by the yardsticks of Amnesty International

or Freedom House or Reporters Without Frontiers.

I measure myself by the objectives of governance of my people.

What must the government do?

It must establish a system

where there is peace,

stability

and opportunities for everybody to live a full life,

which means

good health,
good housing,
good jobs,
good education,
good hospitals.

There is nothing which you want to read that you cannot read in Singapore.

Everybody is on the Internet,
everybody has got broadband,
you have got cable television,
access to all the information,
you can blog,
you can do anything you like." MM Lee

Just don't be caught doing the wrong things.
