• 2.57 MB
This document appears to be a page (p. 29) from a book or geopolitical analysis included in a House Oversight Committee production. The text analyzes and praises the 'benign authoritarianism' of Asian leaders Park Chung Hee (South Korea) and Lee Kuan Yew (Singapore) for their roles in rapid economic development, contrasting their effectiveness with leaders in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and Egypt). It details the historical transformation of Singapore from a struggling colony to a 'first-world technological dynamo.'
