Description

"Our problem is how to devise a system of disincentives, so that the irresponsible, the social delinquents, do not believe that all they have to do is to produce their children and the government then owes them and their children sufficient food, medicine, housing, education and jobs.
"Until such time when moral inhibitions disappear and legislative or administrative measures can be taken- to regulate the size of families, we must try to induce people to limit their families.."
Lee Kuan Yew (1969)

"Since the inferior is always numerically superior to the best, the worst would multiply itself so much faster... given the same opportunity to survive and procreate... that the best would necessarily be pushed to the background. Therefore a correction in favour of the better must be undertaken."
Adolf Hitler (1939)

Section I of this book highlights some issues involving the influence of biology on intelligence and social achievement, as they have emerged in Singapore and Malaysia today, paying special attention to Premier Lee Kuan Yew's eugenicist policies. The scientific basis for such claims are critically examined in sec tion II. Finally, some social and ideological implications of such beliefs about human biology are reviewed in section III.
