...have studied us. They want to know how we stay in power in spite of multiparty elections and a plurality of views. They have huge Communist Party buildings, huge organizations. They find in Singapore no [ruling] People's Action Party building, no big statues, but also no corruption. The pap is everywhere, and the pap is nowhere.

Lee's methods - which despite a deliberate attempt to soften the image of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) remain at the core of his successors' approach to governing - have found plenty of critics at home and abroad.

...Anthony Minghella's television series based on the fictional detective eventually airs. On the first tour, travelers visit the traditional village of Mochudi, Ramotswe's ancestral home. A school-turned-museum provides local history and background to Ramotswe's childhood world. Then, after lunch?chicken or beef, rice, maize pap and salads?at a local restaurant, it's on to the spot where McCall Smith met the woman who inspired his feisty heroine. Back in Gaborone, fans can see some of the most memorable places featured in the books, including Zebra Drive, where Ramotswe lives, and the garage that inspired...
