It was not an easy thing to do, but I did not leave Singapore without a leadership capable of carrying on the work. It was almost as difficult as achieving the success that Singapore has seen in the 1990s. Maybe it was more difficult.
這不是件容易的事，我給新加坡留下一個有能力繼續運作下去的領導層，這幾乎和讓新加坡取得一九九○年時的成就一樣困難，或者也許更加困難。
