Lee Kuan Yew points way forward for PAP

THE People's Action Party (PAP) has stayed in power for more than 50 years because it has continually adapted itself to changes in Singapore's society and around the world, former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew has said.

"We must keep the party dynamic, relevant and in sync with the times," the 91-year-old wrote in the foreword of a new book commemorating the party's 60th anniversary this year.

The 158-page book, titled PAP60, Forward Together, was launched on Friday at a party event held at the Victoria Concert Hall. About 3,000 copies of the book have been published and will be distributed to the party's 87 branches.
