Abstract

Lee Kuan Yew had the foresight in the strategic value of research, especially research with relevance to the economy or society. He also encouraged lifelong professional learning and for faculty members to interact with the government and statutory boards. These ideas have had a significant impact on Singapore universities’ emphasis on national research priority areas, grants for research, collaborative work, education, and development of programmes. Lee also believed that the worth of a university is dependent on its contribution to human knowledge. NIE’s development as an autonomous institute within NTU illustrates and highlights the wisdom of Lee in spearheading human capital and knowledge enhancement.
