Professor Thomas Gordon has written a book of
“Conversation with Lee Kuan Yew” in 2010.In this book He has recorded his
statements. When he asked regard the Srilankan ethnic problem to Lee Kuan yew
he said as follows;
Not only Sinhalese but the Tamils also have
been living from the ancient period in Srilanka. Even though, there is less
possibility for both Tamils and Sinhalese to live there peacefully and there
should not be peace until Srilanka is as one nation.
Srilankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa says “complete
elimination of LTTE is the solution for ethnic conflict in Srilanka and he
expects that all should accept it, but no one can slave Tamils. Tamil never get
scared and get back for anything. Further, winning the Tamil’s mind is such a
hard work for Srilankan government.
Sinhalese are continually engaged in violence
against Tamils. We can obviously see an outright ethnic cleansing. However,
Tamils are never been as slaves. They are not continually bound for them. In
this context, we cannot be readily predicted about another armed struggle.
However, “the only solution for this problem is
giving separate nation for Tamils. Then only the both ethnics can get decent
living condition” Lee Kuan yew said in 2010.
