Lee Kuan Yew Political views on the 12 axes

Absorbed the Singapore City Council into the national government in 1959 and ran the city-state from a single centre, a strong lean toward Unitary.

Held regular elections that his party won, but used detentions, lawsuits and electoral rules that kept the opposition small, a slight lean toward Autocratic.

Used the Internal Security Act to detain opponents without trial, including in Operation Coldstore in 1963, and kept the press under tight licensing.

Helped found ASEAN in 1967 and sought ties with both the West and China, while keeping Singapore's survival as his first goal.

Introduced national service in 1967 and built strong armed forces to deter threats to a small state, without ever going to war.

Kept Singapore a free port with almost no tariffs and courted multinational companies, a strong stance toward Globalist.

Housed most Singaporeans in public flats and required savings through the Central Provident Fund, but rejected welfare handouts and rewarded market success.

Steered growth through state bodies such as the Economic Development Board and state firms held by Temasek, a planning hand inside an open economy.

Kept the state neutral among religions and passed the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act in 1990 to keep faith out of politics.

Defended 'Asian values' of family, discipline and duty, and kept caning and the law against sex between men, a clear lean toward Traditional.

Made English the common working language and set ethnic quotas in public housing, while keeping four official languages, so he lands in the middle.

Invested heavily in technical education and moved industry from cheap labour to electronics and finance, a lean toward Technology.
