Lee Kuan Yew & Robert Kuok’s RAW Insights on Japan (watch this before Oppenheimer)
A collection of quotes from Robert Kuok and the late Lee Kuan Yew on Japan and the Japanese people (especially with the release of the film, Oppenheimer). Although many of these insights and quotes are from a few years back and their experience during WW2, their views still remain relevant today.
Robert Kuok’s segment was much shorter than originally anticipated given the lack of video footage. Consider buying Robert Kuok’s Memoirs and also Lee Kuan Yew’s book, One Man’s View of the World for more information about their thoughts.
