Changes: Lee Kuan

Revision as of 23:27, 18 June 2014

Lee Kuan was a noted Human historical political despot on Earth sometime between the mid-20th and the 23rd century, who ultimately failed at his goals of conquest and absolute power.

Spock put him in one line with Ramses, Julius Caesar, Alexander, Napoléon Bonaparte and Hitler to show that Earth history is full of men seeking absolute power. (TOS: "Patterns of Force")

Fleet Captain Garth of Izar boasted to Captain James T. Kirk that as Master of the Universe, he would go much farther and have more success then other previous despots such as Lee Kuan, Alexander, Caesar, Napoléon, Hitler, and Krotus. (TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy")

Lee Kuan shares his name with Lee Kuan Yew, the first Prime Minister of the newly independent Singapore in the 1960s. He established a hybrid form of governance with democratic and authoritarian elements.

-:''Lee Kuan is obviously a reference to [[Wikipedia:Lee Kuan Yew|Lee Kuan Yew]], who in the 1960s was well-known as the Prime Minister of the newly independent [[Singapore]]. Lee established a hybrid form of governance with democratic and authoritarian elements. It is well-known, certainly in California, that [[Chinese]] naming practice places the surname before the given name; however the writers may possibly have misdivided this one, taking the surname to be '' (Lee Kuan) '' and the last syllable '' (Yew)'' to be a given name which could be dropped - as they had just done with Hitler's given name '' (Adolf) ''.
