Reagan hosts Lee Kuan Yew

Ronald Reagan is undoubtedly my favorite US president. He was a good man but of course not without his faults (just like the rest of us.) Another favorite — perhaps the best — politician of our modern world was Lee Kuan Yew. He was extremely wise and extremely intelligent: a combination rarely present in politicians. He was a blessing to our world. He influenced the world, not just tiny Singapore.

President Ronald Reagan hosted Prime Minister Lee  Kuan Yew at the White House on October 8th, 1985. The video of the remarks before the formal dinner is heartwarming.

Aside from that video, here is the transcript of the welcoming ceremony: “Remarks at the Welcoming Ceremony for Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore.”
