FIRST AMONG EQUALS, Mr Lee Kuan Yew was the outstanding leader of an exceptional team, the team, which included Goh Keng Swee, S Rajaratnam, Othman Wok, Hon Sui Sen, Lim Kim San, Ong Pang Boon, Devan Nair, and quite a number more.
They were his comrades, and he never forgot them.
Mr Lee received many accolades and awards in his long life, but he wore them lightly. ...
When he received the Freedom of the City of London in 1982, he said:
“I feel like a conductor at a concert bowing to applause, but unable to turn around and invite the accomplished musicians in his orchestra to rise and receive the ovation for the music they have played. For running a government is not unlike running an orchestra, and no Prime Minister ever achieves much without an able team of players.”
