Singapore: Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew has exhorted Indian political leaders to follow the ideals cherished by Infosys founder N.R. Narayana Murthy in order to set the country on a rapid trajectory of high growth and development.
Describing Narayana Murthy as an "exceptional" entrepreneur, Lee hailed his contribution to the information technology sector in India, extolling his humility, social awareness and simple living habits as qualities to be emulated.
"If all Indian ministers and top bureaucrats were like him - hard-working, tough taskmasters, hard negotiators, but always forward-looking - India will be one of the fastest growing countries in the world, and in one generation, will become a First World country," Lee said.
