Lee Kuan Yew's Quote About Cambodia
In an effort to find out how my country was during the 1960s as rumors said that Cambodia then was a jewel of Asia... I found out this one quote, quite satisfactory though not yet confirmed to me that my country was really so.
Anyway, here's what he said then:
Up to the late 1960s, Cambodia was the shining star of Indo-China, a confluence of intellectuals, traders, artists and bourgeois who lived, played and worked there. Phnom Penh was the jewel of Asia then. Lee Kuan Yew, the first Prime Minister of Singapore visited Cambodia in April 1967 at the invitation of Prince Norodom Sihanouk. Cruising along the capital's elegant boulevards in a Mercedes convertible, Lee turned to his host and said, "I hope, one day, my city will look like this".

This kind of quotes or rumors really make my heart cool, warm, and at the same time hot... the inconvenient saying.

- A bumpy road full of sadness and desperation. A real fight with what ppl call "destiny". Key: we'll never down if we have a real drive, a life motivation. It's a belief, not in any imaginary GODS, but in ourselves. A belief that leads to the exploration of our true potentials.
