Lee Kuan Yew on Singapore’s separation from Malaysia in 1965 | From the archives
To mark Lee Kuan Yew’s 100th birth anniversary on Sep 16, 2023, CNA is looking back at his more memorable quotes.
On Aug 9, 1965, Singapore had decided to separate from Malaysia after less than 23 months and become an independent and sovereign state. Then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew went in front of the cameras and delivered an emotionally charged address to a nascent nation. “For me, it is a moment of anguish because all my see, the whole of my adult have believed in Malaysian merger and the unity of these two territories,“ he said. Watch an excerpt from his speech on Aug 9, 1965.
Watch the full documentary special Lee Kuan Yew: In His Own Words on Sep 15, 9pm SG on CNA’s YouTube channel. #LKY100 #leekuanyew
