Huh? isn't the answer in Lee Kuan Yew: The Man And His Ideas, 1998, page 173? Go read all his books!
\"Look at the number of smart Teochews there are...just count them. Teo Chee Hean, Lim Hng Kiang, George Yeo, Lim Boon Heng. Is it a coincidence? In a Cabinet of 15, how do you explain that? For that matter, the Hakkas consider themselves very special too. They are tough, resourceful, they were latecomers who got squeezed to the mountainous areas of the south when they came from the north. They were the only Chinese group that did not bind their women's feet, because they lived on hilly terrain, had to make a living and couldn't afford to have women with feet bound. You also have more Hakkas in the Cabinet than are represented in the population. They are supposed to be hard-working, tougher and therefore higher-achievers. So there are these differences even within the races.\"
