      Singapore - Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yew said that he hopes the city-state will aim for a cultural renaissance like Italy.

      'If you go to Florence or you go to Venice or you go to Rome and you see their churches, their museums, and you see the number of sculptors, painters sitting outside trying to copy Leonardo da Vinci, you know that was the beginning of the renaissance,' the first prime minister said at a dialogue Friday.
