Lee Kuan Yew - English Not For My Son
Friday, 13th April 1956
Mr. Lee Kuan Yew was determined that his four-year-old son, Lee Hsien Loong, is not going to be English-educated, like himself. Lee, who is a graduate of Cambridge University said "He is not going to an English school. He will not be a model Englishmen. He is going to go back and be a part of Asia and a part of Malaya." Mr. Lee attacked what he termed "the over-emphasis of English education."
