> I admire Yang's intelligence, and think it is a shame that we do not filter our leaders more for cognitive ability, as Singapore does. I'm interested by this comment. Singapore has had three PM's in its 60 year history, more than half the time by one man (the father of the incumbent, himself in power for 15 years). Were these people selected for their brains, or is there something particular about the Less family that puts them above other Singaporeans?
