Lee Kuan Yew established the People's Action Party in 1954, and he negotiated self-rule for Singapore in 1957 and 1958. He then became the leader of Singapore in 1959. Lee also took Singapore into Malaysia in 1963, but saw it expelled in August 1965, and he stepped down as PM in 1990. For 31 years he was the longest serving PM in the world and led Singapore to its status as an Asian NIC.
