Riots in France and concerns over the state of the French economy have prompted renewed attention to a speech by Singapore's late founding leader Lee Kuan Yew. In the speech, he warned that a couple of serious riots could shake confidence, bring down markets and undo years of progress, arguing stability underpinned prosperity.
