时任新加坡政府副总理的吴作栋曾说:“我们始终强调社会的基石是家庭,而非个人。在西方,他们认为个人是最重要的;个人权利比家庭和社会权利来得重要。我们认为没有家庭,就没有个人。家庭是基本单位。社会是由家庭组成的。这种价值观对我们至为重要。” Goh Chok Tong, then the Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore, said: “We always emphasize that the cornerstone of society is the family, not the individual, who consider the individual as the most important thing in the West and the individual rights that are more important than those of the family and the society. , There is no individual, the family is the basic unit, the community is composed of families, and such values ​​are of the utmost importance to us. ”
