Hashemi Niya:
Road map of third world countries
The then Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif’s account of his trip to Singapore, quoted by one of the Prime Minister’s companions:
After meeting with the Prime Minister of Singapore, we asked him if it is possible to have a meeting with Mr. Lee Ko An Yew, the current architect of Singapore.
Mr. An Yeo was seated and was occasionally present as an advisor in the presidential palace.
The meeting was arranged and we went to see them.
After the greetings, Mr. Nawaz Sharif said: I don’t want to take up much of your time, I just had one question:
Do you think Pakistan can grow like Singapore and achieve such huge success?
Mr. An Yu thought a little and said: No, I’m sorry!
We were all taken aback and did not expect to hear such a sharp and far from diplomacy answer from Mr. An Yoo.
That’s why the Prime Minister and the team we were with were drowned in silence and shame.
Mr. An Yu, then he gives explanations that all the main words of my writing are these few lines of his explanations.
In my opinion, this explanation can be like a road map for all third world countries, provided that we look for a road map!
Mr. An Yu said:
There are three main reasons why you cannot be like Singapore:
1. Ideology:
You have a certain ideology and believe that real life begins after death.
That’s why you don’t take this world and worldly life seriously enough, and you set your heart on the world after death.
Well, it is clear that someone who does not take this world seriously does not try hard enough to manage and excel in this world.
But we believe that this world is the only thing we have and that’s why we do our best to make the best world for ourselves.
2. Approach:
You have a different approach to issues and problems.
When we face a problem, we consult. If the possibility of solving that problem is in our favor, we will go ahead and do our best. But if we understand and come to the conclusion in the consultations that our other side will win, we will stop fighting and go and solve our problem peacefully with our other side and we will not spend more time fighting with the person who will win in the end. .
But when you face a problem, you consult like us. If you are told that you will not win in this issue and the ultimate winner is your opposite side, instead of going and solving the problem peacefully with your side, you will fight against that side with force, money, belief and generation after generation. And that’s why the number of your problems is always more than the number of solutions!
Mr. An Yew said: A generation that inherits old problems instead of solutions for itself and the generations after itself cannot grow like Singapore.
3. Political and economic decision-making of the country in the hands of the military:
In explaining the third reason for the non-growth of third world countries, Mr. An Yu said:
The military moves based on a specific and inflexible line of research. This method is suitable for war and protecting the privacy of the country, but in making political and economic decisions, we need different lines of thought and a lot of flexibility.
You will not find any country where the politics and economy are in the hands of the military of that country, and that country has significant growth.
