新加坡在十字路口

A Nation at a Crossroads

这个标题是建国总理李光耀在他刚出版的新书《李光耀观天下》（One Man’s View of the World）里“新加坡章”的副题。
十字路口代表了彷徨和抉择，我没有想到他会以这样一句话来描摹现在的新加坡。李光耀目光如炬，即便这几天他已经90岁了（1923年9月16日是他的生日），他仍然把新加坡看得一清二楚。

This title is borrowed from a chapter in One Man's View of the World, the latest book by Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.
The word “crossroads” is suggestive of hesitation and choice, and I would never have imagined Mr Lee using such a metaphor to describe Singapore. But Mr Lee has immense foresight, and although he is 90 this year (he was born on 16 September 1923), he remains cognisant of the problems Singapore faces.
