Lee Kuan Yew on Lee Hsien Loong, The Straits Times (22 June 2004)
“
He picked up from me a certain way of thinking, certain logic, certain cut of mind. He has got from his mother a facility with words, and a certain intuition. So please do give him some slack, if you find that he thinks slowly, and speaks even more slowly.
— Lee Kuan Yew
