'You can take a Chinese or an Indian, bring them to America and,
as a minority in the American milieu, he will begin to absorb the American ethos.
But you bring a few Americans to China or India and you think

— Lee Kuan Yew, making his point at the recent Singapore Human Capital Summit
that cultural barriers do not come down easily in Asia
