<Consider the toughest questions about the rise of China, the future of Asia and the impact of developments there on the U.S. Who is most qualified to have informed, insightful answers? For people in the know, the unanimous first choice is: Lee Kuan Yew. Founding father of modern Singapore and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990, Lee Kuan Yew has served as mentor to every Chinese leader from Deng Xiaoping to Xi Jinping and as counselor to every American president from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama. He led a small, poor, corrupt port city-state to first-world status in a single generation and knows a lot about governance. Having guided a small nation whose survival depends on staying alert and agile in adjusting to the actions of big neighbors, he has developed a well-deserved reputation as “the man who saw tomorrow.”>

<China’s new leader, Xi Jinping, calls Lee “our senior who has our respect.” President Obama refers to him as a “legendary figure of Asia in the 20th and 21st centuries.” For former Prime Minister Tony Blair, he is “the smartest leader I ever met.” Another formidable former prime minister of the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher, praises “his way of penetrating the fog of propaganda and expressing with unique clarity the issues of our time and the way to tackle them.” Lee “has the most modern and the most strategic view of anyone I have met,” according to former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright>

Singapore (AFP) - Singapore on Tuesday filed charges against 24 Indian nationals who allegedly took part in its first riot for over 40 years, as officials and activists warned against inciting racial hatred over the incident.

The men face up to seven years in jail plus caning for the hour-long fracas on Sunday night, triggered when an Indian construction worker was struck and killed by a private bus in a district known as Little India.
They were among an estimated 400 South Asian migrant workers involved in the rampage that left 39 police and civil defence staff injured and 25 vehicles -- including 16 police cars -- damaged or burnt.
The charge sheet said the men threw pieces of concrete and were "members of an unlawful assembly whose common object was to overawe, by a show of criminal force, police officers in the exercise of their lawful power to maintain law and order at the scene".
The suspects, aged between 22 to 40, looked sombre as the charges were read in Tamil in court by an interpreter.
They were remanded at a police complex for one week for further investigations.

Police earlier said the suspects could be charged with a more serious offence punishable by up to 10 years in jail, but they faced a lesser charge on Tuesday.
Singapore's foreign ministry said it was working closely with the Indian High Commissioner (ambassador) "to facilitate consular access and support for their nationals, including legal representation".
Two Bangladeshis, another Indian national and a Malaysian also arrested after the riot were released because investigations showed they were not involved.

Sunday's riot was the second incident involving a large group of foreign workers in the past year.
In November 2012 171 Chinese bus drivers stopped work to demand better wages and living conditions -- the first industrial strike in Singapore since 1986.
Five of the drivers served jail terms after it was declared an illegal strike, while 29 others were deported without trial.
Officials have called for calm after the Little India riot, which triggered a wave of foreigner-bashing in social media.
On the Facebook page of Yahoo! Singapore, reader Tan Beng Ming wrote: "Jail them, cane them and send them packing! For good measure, send their compatriots back too!"
"Only foreigners will start a riot, it is their norm," wrote another reader, Koh Koh.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong urged Singaporeans Monday not to let the "isolated incident" tarnish their views of foreign workers, who number more than a million.
Lee also ordered the formation of a special committee to review the factors that led to the riot, as well as measures to manage areas where foreign workers congregate.
There will be a ban this weekend on the sale and consumption of alcohol in the area where the riot broke out following eyewitness accounts that many attackers were drunk.
Activists have urged authorities to investigate whether the violence on Sunday was an indication of wider discontent among poorly paid migrant workers.
"If these factors go unaddressed, the threshold for escalation remains low. The smallest incident gets to a tipping point quite easily," socio-political blogger Alex Au wrote.
Russel Heng, president of welfare group Transient Workers Count Too, said in a commentary in the Straits Times on Tuesday that "I find the on-line xenophobic comments targeting foreign workers offensive".
"If a majority of Singaporeans are reasonable fair-minded people, then I would urge every single one of us to rebuke, rebut or ignore the nasty xenophobes among us," he added.

Thanks world fan.
In the beginning,native Singaporeans were given decent wages,soon thereafter their wages were cut.This is not limited to unskilled workers,many graduates of tertiary institutions faced the same dilemma.This is how the super rich investors that flooded there conducted business where they ran away from.Now the immigrants are disgruntled too.
The housing arrangement for the migrant workers is anything but first world.You treat someone like savage then you are surprised they end up behaving like a savage.
The paradigm was wrong from the get go,demands were not made of the super rich hence they remained steadfast in their selfish greedy ways.
