LKY on Air-conditioning

 "Air conditioning was a most important invention for us, perhaps one of the signal inventions of history! It changed the nature of civilisation by making development possible in the tropics. Without air conditioning you can work only in the cool early-morning hours or at dusk. The first thing I did upon becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency." Lee Kuan Yew [1923-2015] Founding father of modern Singapore
