Just seeing on the news that the first Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew died recently. Just got me thinking whether another politician has achieved as much as this guy? He basically led Singapore to being one of the wealthiest countries in the world from about 1960 or so...

I never knew much about him until his recent death, but I had a read up, & it's hard to think of any other Leader or Politician in the world who has achieved so much.

I like William Wilberforce and Abraham Lincoln to be contenders for this title. Others would have done it had they not but what they helped to achieve moved mankind forward enormously.

Maybe not the most 'successful' ever, but Indira Gandhi made a huge impact.
