      Africa can still learn important lessons from #LeeKuanYew’s work in #Singapore http://bit.ly/18WhSEn  @Calestouspic.twitter.com/NNWF7APKtE

      @calestous I am not so sure, not least because Singapore is really a very special kind of (non-territorial) state...

      @maamikron42 There is a country that has emulated some of the lessons. It is the People's Republic of China. Lagos and Rwanda toom

      @calestous wealth gap in China btw super rich/booming zones - normal/countryside is more reason for concern than imitation (it seems to me)

      @maamikron42 Who said imitation? Please read the article. I refer to very specific lessons.

      @calestous ...and resource conditions very unlike anything one can find anywhere else in the world, in particular in Africa (is my feel)

      @maamikron42 You seem to be mixing up copying with learning and adapting lessons. I know many countries doing it selectively.

      @calestous ...simple 'copying' (and pretty thoughtlessly so, bc success is expected fast & wholesome) and disregards specific circumstances

      @maamikron42 Why are discussing copying which isn't the focus of the article. Do you really think I don't know copying doesn't work?

          @calestous ...so that transposing successful approaches from there to the African condition seems particularly hard to me.

          @maamikron42 You are constructing impossible scenarios and then declaring them so

          @calestous I was thinking if Egypt. I think different 'imported' economic programs were tried out there without impressive results...

          @maamikron42 The fact that did it wrong doesn't mean there is only a wrong way to do it. Learning and copying are very different.

          @calestous I fully agree that studying the successes and the failures of others (and in the own history) are important steps in learning.

          @calestous I'm sure U know that. I'm not so familiar with Singapore economy. I just have impression that her situation is very specific ./
